ExperienceXP
The currency earned per battle from damage, spotting, kills, capture and defence, spent on research and crew training.
Also known as XP, exp, vehicle experience.
Experience is awarded on everything the battle scores, weighted by how the battle went: the winning team earns considerably more than the losing one for the same performance.
It comes in three forms. Vehicle experience is locked to the vehicle that earned it, crew experience trains the crew, and free experience can be spent anywhere. A premium account and boosters multiply the first two.
Base experience, before any multiplier, is what mastery badges are judged on, which is why an Ace can be earned in a battle that paid poorly.
