I hid in some trees and just picked off at max range ;)

i like this game, its simple, fun, and ftp, so no hassles for time etc, even the battles where i die quickly, i just bail out and join another battle with another tank :D

seems next patch in 3 weeks or so will include the ability to form small groups 2-3 players, and fight together.

yeah, works really well -> no wait - where the normal way (WoT-site) seems to take days at least

first of all DON'T PANIC

1. join recruit battle
2. stay behind, always move
3. right click on enemy tank and you'll automatically target it
4. left click
5. ????
6. grind through battles and research/upgrade your stuff
7. always keep some spare moneyz for repairs and ammo
8. repeat 1-7
9. get the bison and join standard battles
10. finish off heavy tanks in your shitty noob tank

Also remember that the higher the training your crew gets the nearer it will get to the top loading and firing speed of your weapons, the nearer its max possible speed and agility and the more accurate its shooting will become (using auto target). After 90% you really notice the difference.

Somehow I do much better in the leicht than the MS, dunno why.
Or mebbe just a feeling, havent looked at stats recently

(edit: damage ratio twice as high for leicht, average xp x 1.5)

Ive maxed my PzVI Tiger I for gear and crew and have left it in storage now as its damn expensive to run  :'(
I use my VK3601(H) for credit grinding. Its as tough as old boots and its upkeep isnt to bad. Also the 88mm canon it uses is nice for penetration and damage.
Im now training my way down the russian medium line. I really really want a T44. having come up against them a number of times i can confirm the rock in speed , agility, toughness and firepower. much much better than the Panther.
