    Played some WoT today, first time really playing. First lesson learned... follow the people that look like they know what they are doing... they don't know what they are doing :( Rammed a few times by teammates who just refuse to just go around... plow through instead lol. Hills can break tracks... who knew? Also the tiniest slope slowing the tank to a crawl lol. T1 tanks are really slow. The first guy to get spotted is toast. For some reason people blindly fire at said spotted guy from even across the map? I'm really bad at this game.

    Well that pretty much sums it up lol. It was pretty fun though, not a big fan of the one life setup (in any game)... I don't wanna be the last one left lol. Really like the die and join a different fight in a different tank while waiting for the other match to end feature though. I see the appeal.

    Tier 1 is kinda boring it's sooo slow. I'm not really a go go go type person in these games but dang some of them move and turn in decades per revolution... I think I got passed by a turtle once. I somehow have a tier 2 tank... I'm not sure I have like 7 tanks and not sure where they all came from or if that is normal lol, that is a lot more fun, it's got a nice pace to it.

    Although I noticed the Tier 2 tank I have to repair and the Tier 1 tanks I don't... not sure why? Is it a beginner (T1) thing?

    That is because its set for auto repair, you have check box in service where you bye shells, along with auto resupply ammunition (diferent chech box). As for tier 2 tanks best one is this one Cruiser Mk. III - World Of Tanks
    dont use Pom Pom its crap. Cruiser III is fast, have very good gun, no armor thoe. XD

    Yeah Tier 1 was soooo slow. I had a game there on a friends pc just to see how it was again and i was shocked. I guess its because the crews were so bad as well.

    Actually, it's not autorepair, it's the fact tier 1 tanks really don't have a repair cost, and their stock guns ammo costs 0 too, this is done in order to prevent newbies to go bankrupt while still learning how to play the game xD

    Anyway, as others said, just wait till you get up to higher tiers, tanks get faster there, but on the other hand, battles tend to get slower and campier xD

    True. Tier 2 was fun, I stayed there for a while. Now I have the most fun at 5 and 6.

    I think I'll probably do the same, I don't know yet. I found a Tier 1 I actually like... don't remember the name but figure take advantage of the no repair costs... not that it seems all that much anyway but just stick with it to learn the game more first.

    Repair cost on all tiers from 2-5 are basically next to nothing, at tier 6 and 7 they start to get serious and only the last 3 tiers have serious repair costs, so feel free to move up a tier. Tier 2 might actually be even better for learning than tier 1. Tier 3 I wouldn't recommend, cause that goes into battles with tier 5 often, and you do not want to face a tier 5 heavy in your tier 3 even when you're a very skilled and experienced player, let alone a newbie xD

    For Tier 5 I would say M4, KV1 and the Pz 3/4.

    I'd go for Russian tanks at start if I were you, they're beginner friendly :) . Though KV-1 is probably the best tank on Tier V anyway :)

    Its a very good tier 2 tank, and i was told by nerubian that, and nerubian was told by fox, and fox was told by who knows who. XD

    As for tier 4, T 28 is extremly good sniper, better than Cruiser III (much more precise gun) its agile and fast, but no armor and tier 5 KV1 it has a lot of armor good gun but its slow.

    Germans are ok, but i wouldnt recommend them for now, they have agile tanks but not good guns. So stick with USSR KV1 line.

    Yeah, Soviets are definitely as safe bet. Their guns are also more accurate than the ingame value, there is some sort of hidden factor which WG holds close. Thats why those Soviet heavies can wind up sniping targets from way off.

    Alright cool thanks for the suggestions guys, I'm not quite ready to start moving up but wanted to get an idea where to head first. :)

    I have no idea what a platoon is... ok I lie I do have an idea but yeah it's just that an idea. :p Yeah my username is the same on both, I'm still pretty bad though.

    Noob. :p XD
    Platoon is group of 2 or 3 tanks which go in one battle, so you can battle beside two of your friends.

    Actually, by nobody, I discovered it on my own, since it had identical gun to tetrarch which was my favorite tier 2 tank till the Cruiser III appeared :)

    You forgot to mention that T-28 is huge as well, so it's quite an easy target when spotted

    There's no such thing as a hidden factor. Accuracy in general was much improved for all tanks since patch 8.6, making every tank in the game quite accurate, and please don't tell me about soviet guns being accurate prior to that patch, as their inaccuracy was the source of me looking like :rage: so many times that I lost count.
