Welp must of not had 1000 games so didn't get Closed beta tank, oh well.

Tier1s are of course fun as hell.

Think I'm gonna go Russian heavies since I never explored those in beta beyond T4

I just noticed that the cost of the ammunitions are way too high...

Not that bad early on, around Tier 5 is the most profitable area for making money with tank destroyers being the pest iirc (And I think especially the Stug) Its actually unprofitable to use the higher tier tanks since the repairs and ammunition cost more then what you get from the battle.

Unless you get a really lucky match and are able to clean up and get some battle hero awards.

Bit yeah, from what I've read, you need a couple bank tanks to earn the money back from your high tier tanks.

Just be aware that you aren't wasting XP, as in when you get an elite tank, make sure you are accelerating the crew. You may not use them in the next tier, but you can't use the xp for anything else.

Turned my Loltraktor into a TD, my Cunnigham into a T2 (going for M2 w/ 76)and T57 (going for M37/Priest), and the MS-1 I'm going to split into a t-26(going for KV)) and BT-7. That way I'll have one of each type to play all round t3-t5.

The MS1 crew I'm going to carry into the BT2 and then BT7. I plan on carrying as much crew as possible, even if it doesn't help, but I want the history with my crew. The MS1 crew may get trained enough to be an advantage by the time I buy the BT2.

Turns out I do get the Valentine back, woot, since I don't have any full Bank Tanks yet its my best money maker. A lot funner then I remember. Pretty well armored (Same Armour on every side) Its odd though, I keep thinking its better to drive in reverse to take advantage of the slope.

Got my T-26 up to a T-46 also which is sucking worse then the last time I drove it, maybe cause I'm using a different gun setup but it just feels weak.

Actually training crew on other tanks is quite useful, when you retrain them, even with basic training to another tank if they have enough XP they won't start with nothing. Thats why you shouldn't just trash previous tanks with their crew.

I'm going to hold off on playing for a while, having to start from square 1 after everything hit me pretty hard. When I started the beta, I logged on once in December but didn't start playing until January or February, so I had a huge gold deposit, and I abused all of it.
I'm going to save up some cash and buy some gold, start myself off on a better foot, I'll still play but not very often until then.

I'm afraid to say I'm not a very good noob.
