Yes! I'm currently trying to get as much xp as possible so that i can unlock vehicles.
I'm assuming there is no other way of speeding up this process? Win every game is one way
Now. I am not a Panzer Ace, like Michael Wittmann, so this will take some time.
PS I do not have 'speed up crew training selected on either of my vehicles.

You do not need to speed crew training unless you plan to keep said vehicle. Then you max out the additional skills.

What line are you planning on going down?
What kind of playstyle do you use?


Also, its better when you elite a vehicle (have all of the modules unlocked) to keep it on gather free exp rather then accelerate crew. Once you get to T7 you should be looking at keeping the same crew.

Currently enjoying my Wespe 2, grinding that to the 7.6" gun, so i can 1-shot tier 1-3.
Also grinding Binocs for that to increase range.
Got camo and faster load times on.
Also doing some TK, with the Marder.
I'll stick with my German Boys, not sure yet which way i'll go, heavy tank i'd say next.
Autobots, Go!

Well, if you like driveing aroud like a mad man, and flanking heavy tanks like 3 bastards did to me the other day! lol Mediums are for you.

If you like killing everything with the ideals of "I see it, i press button, PROFIT!" artys for you (those Jerks)

SO, you like sitting in that bush right there (excluding the Jagdtiger/Ferdinand.) Tank destroyers are for you!

Do you like moveing at the speed of a slow zombie? enjoy looking at light like "HA you cant do ****" heavy's are for you... at least till the arty finds out!

Update: I have my 7.6" gun for the Wespe now! Let the killing begin.
I'm going to never sell it, (Wespe) love playing it.
The Marder i'll keep as well, although the Wespe is getting all the gameplay atm.
I've heard the StuG is a nogo. Limited ammo, like 20 or something?
I'll stick with arty atm, having too much fun 1 and 2 shotting folks across the map

I've got a Stug III armed with the 75mm L/70 gun and carry up to 36 shells.

Any of you guys on the US server?
Look me up and add me: Feuer Frei1.
As for the Wespe, is there a way to increase the zoom capability?
i've got Coated optics on it and it doesn't really make any difference.
Missing something obviously here.
I'm switching btw the Marder and the Wespe, having a blast.

Well, I initially thought I was going to mainly play TDs so I grinded to Hetzer and am now 13k from the Stug.

The Marder is an AWESOME low tier Tank destroyer. One shotting KV2s with their huge ammo rack weakness is hella-fun with the last gun.
With the TDs I'd recommend (if you're focussing on Arty more) to get the Marder with the last 76mm gun with Camo Net Binocs and Vent. Also, if you get the Hetzer I'd recommend "hetzing" with the 105mm Gun with HE shells as you can one shot most Tier 1-5 and lay a pounding on heavies if the Match maker screw you. Finally, I've heard mixed reviews about that StuG. Some say its low armor and high speed can get you into trouble (but that just means the drivers crappy..). It has access to the amazing (for low tier) L/70 7.5cm gun as well as the 10.5cm gun that the Hetzer uses before it. To be completely honest, the pain in the German TD line doesn't start until you reach Jagdpanzer IV..

As for Arty, I'm not totally sure how Gun Laying drive works in regards to aim time. But as far as zoom goes, if you're in over head mode (Finger of God) then you can zoom in a little bit with the wheel of your mouse but thats it. Being patient and waiting for the circle to settle is all it really takes for arty.

Also, if you want to learn the mechanics in a less frustrating environment, I would reccomend grinding the Russian heavies first, because they are *marginally* easier to play then their German and American counter parts. That's just my opinion (I'm still doing German cause they're such damn sexy tanks!)

Cheers,

Krauter
