I completed the two missions for the items I wanted, tried the maps, gave some feedback......can I get rid of this ridiculously large public test off my hard drive now and still get the rewards? Or am I forced to keep this on here until a certain time? And no, I can't be bothered to go hunting for the answer elsewhere.

At least yea get a chance at rewards, the email I use at WOWs would not work at registration so had to use another one , anyway I believe the rewards are sent to the email you registered with and not the public test game itself and if its the same email as WOWs your in luck

All data of your gameplay is stored on the servers - not locally.  You can definitely delete the entire PT client, however keep in mind that in a few weeks when PT 12 comes out, you'll be redownloading it all over again.

 

Alternately, you can delete the files in the game's "updates" folder to save a lot of space.

You can but then you will need to reinstall the PT client when the next PT happens.

Yes you can delete it, all info is stored on the server. But if you want to save space without uninstalling the publictest, delete everything in Publictest/Worldofwarships/updates folder, this goes for your main Wows game as well. I been doing this for the last 4-5 years for Wot and 1 year for Wows to save on computer space

It seems rewards are just a ruse to get people to play. I have not received Fk all from playing PT since June but it is still better then the collection of [edited]on the regular WOWS servers.

Just had a very interesting game playing the Amagi.   Get dumped into a tier X match, of course.    But I did my best.   Most of our team was pretty terrible and not familiar with their ships, but we were able to manuever and thanks to our shima and Roon we ended up taking all the caps and winning on points.

 

I was doing my best with a tier 8 battleship.   I didn't get many hits pushing into the caps, but I started retreating after our two G. Kurfursts died... defending the cap.   I got a citadel on one zao... did some damage to another zao... then as I'm going south to meet up with the Roon on my team, I see a Montana who'd made his way around our backside.   I thought I'm dead... but I went for him, fired some HE, a few AP salvos... then instead of ramming I came up alongside him and at about 2km I dumped everything into his side.   6 citadels... must have been 70k damage.   The kill went to the Roon as he'd been set on fire... but overall I did 99k damage to him.   I ended up with High Caliber.   I was down to about 10k health, but I did another 20k to the Bismarck before dying.

 

So I get to the results screen... 160k damage... 7 citadels, 5 defense ribbons...  high caliber...  2nd highest XP on my team... 1901 compared to the shima's 2148.  This is a pretty good result.   Certainly not a potato, I contributed!

 

and I'm rewarded with 246k credits... 164k without premium.    However the costs... I used the free camo, the free consumables given to our test accounts.  That would have normally cost another 100k or so... So I would have lost money... even with a premium account.

 

This just seems ridiculous.     I realize it's not the best game ever in the Amagi, but that was a pretty good performance for a tier 8 Amagi in a Tier X game.    If I hadn't gotten that Montana, we would have lost for sure.   Our Roon wouldn't have survived, he wouldn't have been able to take out the Bismarck and protect the cap.   We'd be down two caps to 1, and the low health Shima against the two Zao's wouldn't have stood much of a chance.

 

I just think you have a decent game, there should be some rewards.   You shouldn't be punished for it.
