    "Due to processing complexity there will be no soft wipe prior to this major event (ie not soft wipe this year)."

    Gah, I was looking forward to getting a quick IS or maybe even a KT to try out but in a way I'm glad it didn't happen, it'd just be top tier vehicles all over the place.

    Very nice bonus alright. I'll update my premium for the next 2 months t hen use the rest for cash when I need it. Currently slugging through a Tiger to get to a KT so I'll be swimming in cash for a long time unti I reach the XP. I've got my Hummel the other night too and I'm not doing any TD's atm. I'll probaby buy a KV and grind up to the IS series in tanks and see how that goes.

    Manic: I wouldn't go for any premium tanks, they're muck in every way compared to their equals in tier.

    Just gonna pimp out the tiger, not really intrested in climbing any higher.

    When this game goes live and it has the hard wipe, i really cant c myself grinding all this again. It would be near impossable without the free gold.

    this game has failed before its even been released.

    they have a hugecore of players that have been playing beta for months, a lot of whom will not be eager to start the whole chain of grinding over again.

    why dont they just release the dam thing, its been out in russia for months like.

    at the moment im cruisin around in my kv (most fun imo), kv3, stug iii, tiger, and few other lowbies.

    the german tech tree is so inferior to the russians.

    the kv3 is a much better tank than the tiger and its a tier lower, all its missing is the extra 450 hp. the tiger, untill u get the final gun is an absolute joke. bouncing shots at point blank off a kv. hate it.

    deffo stearing clear of the german tanks if i play the game upon release.

    russian developers = russian superiority in game.

    New patch is nice, first game with JagdPanther I got 7 kills, first game with kv-3 I got 8 kills, I'm guessing this is down to the balance system which seems to be fixed letting me get into fights with smaller stuff instead of being at the bottom rung all the time.

    So it's time to start playing this. I've got some 14k in gold so I can to pretty much any tank I want. Is it worth starting off with the crappy tier 1's despite this? Or should I just go straight to something more profitable?

    There is no conversion between gold and XP.

    However, you can use gold to convert XP on an elite tank to FREE XP; usable on any tank.

    Gold cannot be directly converted to XP. XP needs to be earned.

    The day will come when you're bored of your Tiger II and dream of a little spin around in the 'traktor.

    The only fun I find in the game now is to jump into a BT-7, blitz the enemy line and see how long I last before being popped.

    I played over 20+ games with the BT-7 and killed nothing at all. Pure scout vehicle and I hated it so damn much.

    I've found a nice middle ground with my Tiger, not too much of a shell magnet, can take decent damage and can dish it out to the high tiers easily enough. Only downside is trying to get any major profit credit wise.

    Did it last night I think. I'll check.

    BTW, need a total strength of at least "70" before the clan is allowed to take part in a battle.

    A platoon is something that you can only create once you are online with other players and is limited to 3 players. It allows for you and 2 of your friends for example to play on the same server. 1 player out of the 3 needs to have a Premium account in order to create the platoon (in the beta everyone should have a premium account.)

    Tank companies are almost the same thing as platoons but you can have up to 15 players. There is though a minimum number allowed in a company. The over all strength must be between 70 and 90 tier points (i.e. the sum of tank levels in a team). This means that you may have to wait until you have 10 tier7 tanks in your company which won't be possible if you just want Boards.ie players are there rarely seems to be more than 4 of online at any one time.*

    Platoons are 'destroyed' once the person who created them logs off (afaik) while companies remain open.

    Just try all of the Tier 1s and see what you like, choosing between tanks, TDs and arty.

    It doesn't take long to get to Tier 3 so should you change your mind about something it won't be time wasted as such.
