How can I make progress on these event damage stages?

First, check the exact stage requirement and how progress is counted. If the objective is damage, blocking damage may not help, and the event might only count certain battles or modes. Watch the progress indicator after a battle to see whether your damage is being credited.

If it is counting correctly, focus on dealing steady damage rather than trying to do everything in one match. Staying alive gives you more chances to fire.

A tank with high damage potential won’t help much if you spend the match taking hits or can’t get clean shots. Try playing a little farther back, following teammates, and firing at opponents who are already occupied or exposed. Take shots you can make reliably instead of rushing into a bad position for one big hit.

If the easiest setting is still frustrating, take a break and come back with one clear goal: find a safe position and keep contributing damage through the match. Don’t worry about the harder setting until the current one feels manageable. If progress still looks unusually low, compare the event’s wording with the battle results to check that the right damage is being counted.
