A video guide to artillery

This artillery guide is quite useful.

OMG, there is a NEW premium tank I can buy!

Wargaming is a business, so the need to make money. One of the ways they earn their money is by releasing premium tanks you have to pay for (or buy using gold, which is the same thing).

Every now and then, some of them looks exiting, and you want to buy it. I would advice you to consider this before you buy one: Do I already have a premium tank of the same type (light/medium/heavy) from the same nation? If so: Are you going to play it because it seems good or because you need to train / retrain your crew?

If it is to (re-)train your crew you should focus on buying a premium tank of a different type and/or nation than you already have. This might seem obvious, but I have to admit I have spent far to much money on German TDs and Russian medium tanks. (I have six of the latter and five of the former.) Choose where you spend your money wisely!

A quick tip about crew skills

If you – like me – train your crew in a premium tank, there is one thing you should be aware of: Sometimes, the tank where the crew “usually” sits, have different tasks designated to the various crew members. This is most often the case when you train your crew in a premium tank with more crew roles than the ordinary tank.

Let’s say you have a premium tank with five crew members, but four of them “belongs” to a tank with only four crew members. In many cases the commander have more tasks in the ordinary tank, than in the premium tank. When you unlock a new skill or perk, place the crew in the ordinary tank when you decide what the new skill should be. There you will see what skills you actually have to choose from. Don’t keep them in the premium tank while you choose the new skill.

Of course, this means that the new skill you choose might be ineffective in the premium tank, but that is – in my opinion – a lesser problem than designating a skill that the crew cannot use while in the ordinary tank.
