Good one
As for steep learning curve.
The controls and general movements and how to shoot etc aren't hard to learn.
But as for ingame tactics, and general tactics of tanks, that's another story all together.
Each tank has a personality, if you will. They all handle differently, with each tank having their own strengths and weaknesses.
A good link to check out is the WoW forums, where guys post everything from tactics for different maps to tank tactics, technology tree progressions to modding:

You need to be patient with the game, you won't just all of a sudden be a Panzer Ace. You will grind xp and credits for furthering and unlocking new tanks to purchase and you will battle in all sorts of environments, from the desert, to the mountains and in the snow!
Learn the maps, study them, listen to your team mates, and most of all don't think you are invincible and invisible, somebody somewhere sees you!
Also, when upgrading or researching a tech tree, know what play style suits you, so that you don't waste precious xp and credits.
Example, do you want to snipe and kill and maim from a distance? Do you want to get up close and personal, shooting point blank range?
Do you want to shell enemies from afar via Artillery?
You have to be clear in your upgrade goals. If not, then you waste a lot of the xp.
By all means, experiment and try new tanks. That way you kill the monotonous grinding in just 1 type of tank.
See you on the battlefield!
