IGMB(AM) WoTers, which tank(s) were you mostly playing when you still didn't really get the game, the tank you remember as your 'noob', learner tank?

Pretty much all the tier III and IV US, German and UK. Hate that they moved the KV-1S to Tier 5. Feels just like the KV-1. Haven't played in a few weeks though, so a few patches behind and missed out on the holiday x5's. Oh well.

I spent a lot of my time learning on the two Cruiser lines at tiers II-III. Lots of low xp games in the Cruiser III when I didn't appreciate just how paper thin the armour was in comparison to everything else, a lot of time wondering what I was doing wrong that meant that a T1 Cunningham was destroying my tank in one shot when it was taking several shots to destroy an enemy tank. Oh, and not understanding how critical hits worked so just repeatedly tracking an opponent for 0hp damage while they chewed through my hit points.

I wasn't getting why it was saying critical hit and not doing damage because I didn't know that in WoT, at least the PC version, that critical hits refer to damage on modules and crew which is separate from damage done by a shot and at the time I was shooting areas that could damage tracks but could never damage hit points.

Matilda is a great tank. Sadly I don't drive it and am often frustrated by its armour.

I dislike how you can't select new guns for the tanks, on the pc version you could get 3 or 4 guns for each tank I'm sure... On this you can upgrade at part of a "package" and usually its the same style of gun just with a bit more bang.
Oh and you can only have 3 tanks at any time without paying real money, very poor.

good times as defined by number of kills, medals and total credits (from the past few months): The TOG plays very much like a Matilda; slow, slow slow to move but has fast reload time and decent penetration with moderate damage per hit. My learner tank was the US T2 medium mostly, I have a few other low tier tanks that I played but the T2 has speed and reasonable reload. It was part of the route to my sherman. I spent a long time enjoying shooting my way through structures and demolishing buildings while waiting for enemy to appear, especially on the Provence map, I didn't realise I was giving my position away, costing myself credits for the re-supply and getting a terrible hit ratio! I started by trying to get all the tanks from Company of Heroes, I am slowly getting there: Sherman, Churchill, Tiger, Hetzer (so far!) I'd recommend have a small number of tanks and getting their crews skilled up with a good set of modules and equipment to boot. I used to have discipline and kept to 8 tanks which were advancing nicely.. now I have far too many, about 11 I think, which makes it impossible to grind all of them effectively. That said; I enjoy the German Pz1c as it's a lot of fun, the Brit Cruiser III is a nice tank too. Empty has got me in to artillery now... which is lots of fun too! Platoons are now up to 3 players now which is cool; it used to be 2 unless you had a premium account.

Artillery is either fun or frustrating. If the team advances with a hole in the lines then some one will slip through and kill you, if the one flank spots a bunch of promising targets and then hunkers down with no spots and no lures then you can waste a lot of the game waiting for those red blips to show up again, or switch to the other flank just for the same thing to happen before you can aim... and then the reds on the other side advance Oh, and the abuse some players feel like tossing out at arty for either doing too much or too little work. And of course those games where you only get to fire six shots, you get them targeted as well as the game allows but they just go of course anyway due to the random number generator hating you.

what do you think of the new map - the crazy valley where you are deployed halfway up a hill with a little town at the bottom...
It's quite fun if you have a quick tank!.. not had an opportunity to use a slower one there yet.

Like I said, the biggest change is the upgrades to each tank.. its nuts on the xbox! Actual gameplay seems better though.

I've seen my pal play it on his laptop, and on the xbox it doesn't seem as in depth! Which in some ways its bad, but on here they've just made it playable for the masses, btw the t20 fully upgraded is the shizzzzzz

Nooooooooo I have to platoon.
Which means I'll have to try to be slightly sociable.
Hmm or I could make a 2nd acc and play with myself.
Oh wait that doesn't sound right.
