Alright got a few matches in, first impressions are... the game looks great, I don't know I haven't looked at the PC settings on my PC at all but it appears the game looks better on 360, seen a few effects that I haven't seen in WoT PC... it's not a huge leap by any means but it's noticeable. Game itself is very smooth.

I drove the same T1 tank as in WoT PC and it feels faster... I'm not sure if it actually is or not but it doesn't feel like a craw for some reason, turning isn't quite as slow either.

Default control scheme sucks, they put forward and reverse on the same stick as left and right... it just doesn't work... at least for me. They don't let you set your own controls but thankfully include a few options, one of which puts gas, break on the triggers... this helps a LOT. Turned down steering sensitivity as well but steering is still a little funky... could be more a latency issue though.

Latency is a peta, it's a real issue. I've got really good internet so I think it helped hide some of the bigger issues... like once I had a tank fly by at like 300mph because the game finally caught up to where the tank actually was. It's definitely on WoT's end and it seems a lot of people are having issues. Like anything it's better or worse at times, at worse I had like a 3 second lag in throttle and steering ... makes it easy to over shoot and over steer where you want to be.

Thankfully aiming didn't seem for be affected much... somehow. It was pretty good. My only real issue with aiming is zoom isn't as good and that combined with your sitting further away from the TV it's very hard to tell if you have a clear shot or not... most the time you can just barely make out that red outline.

Lastly the game is still very early, only two nations (American, German) are in right now. Upgrades are done in packages (basically a few "better" parts packaged together)... right now it doesn't tell you what the package even does and after you upgrade to the next package you can't return to the previous one... so if it gives you a "better" gun but you don't like it you can't go back. Right now you can see what items (gun, engine etc) are equipped but can't change individual items... it's not clear if that will be added in the future but it seems so. A few other smaller features like the cash shop aren't functioning yet either.

 

No problem

Ok I've determined the "feeling faster" is actually just server lag lol. Played a few more matches and the latency was the worst yet, I'd assume it's because more people are playing right now. Hopefully it's something that can be fixed... it seems people have been complaining about for it while though.
