# WN7

The 2012 predecessor to WN8, computed from account averages and the player's average tier instead of per-vehicle expected values.

Also known as WN7 rating.

WN7 was the first widely adopted community rating. It takes five account-wide averages, [frags](/glossary/kills-per-battle.md), damage, [spotting](/glossary/spotting.md), dropped [capture points](/glossary/base-capture.md) and [win rate](/glossary/win-rate.md), and corrects them with the account's [average tier](/glossary/average-tier.md), since damage naturally scales with [tier](/glossary/tier.md).

Its weakness is the correction itself. The tier term is a fixed curve rather than a measurement of each vehicle, so it rewards some tiers and punishes others regardless of how the player performs, and a low-tier account could inflate its rating by climbing. [WN8](/glossary/wn8.md) replaced it by measuring against every vehicle individually.

It survives because it needs no external dataset. WN7 can be computed from an account's own summary, where WN8 needs an up-to-date [expected values](/glossary/expected-values.md) table, so it still appears as a fallback and a sanity check.
