One thing I would say, if you’re dead set on getting premiums for this game, get the 4.0 Churchill: and maybe the Panzer IV J and T-34, these are my favourite German premium vehicles but the reason I recommend them:
Churchill: will teach you how to play the tiger ie angling armour, being careful with your positioning but at a much lower BR so more forgivable
Panzer IV J: kind of more a collectable but it’s my favourite Panzer IV in the game. Looks really pretty and teaches you to keep hidden with a good gun.
T-34: Just easy to use, teaches you maneuverability and weak spots, and how to use your eyes.

BUT PLEASE don’t buy these until you have reached the Panzer IV F2 MINIMUM.

Ok, usefull, thx.

Now, there is one more thing.
WHEN, should I start with RB ? Remember, I came from WOT, so even AB are quite realistic for me atm…

15

hmm , isnt the Panzer IV J in the WB shop ? I could try to get it there…

16

So fight like this right?

As soon as possible. I would recommend experimenting with it now so you can easily spot tanks in the future, especially when you get to tiers with bush people. If you’re struggling with weak spots (which you won’t at low tier) go back to arcade occasionally but I would recommend realistic for extra research and to sharpen your eyesight. if you get used to arcade’s red nametags then you won’t be able to switch to RB when arcade simply isn’t enough for research; at the very least it will be harder.

Is it? If you’re meaning the trophies then dont, if you’re meaning the battlepass bit then you’re going to need to grind like hell

19

No what I meant was angle your tank downwards exposing your roof so that the enemy shell bounces into the sky

Ah, got it, I knew I was doing something wrong.

if you get used to arcade’s red nametags then

well, I didnt like the dark blue/red which most people play with, so I changed that to Cyan Blue + Toxic yellow. (its great in ground battles, the enemy tanks are much better to see)

Totally yes. I’ve played World of Tanks for ten years thinking “ahh this game can’t be that hard I’ll buy one to speed up my progress”.

Big mistake, got clapped from every angle and areas of the map I didn’t even know existed. Do yourself a favour and play through the trees naturally with a full lineup.

For SL grinding, get yourself a low tier premium plane you can do well in such as one of these two in the Japanese tree. The F4U a little more forgiving due to 50 cals which can be sprayed unlike German 20mm cannons

Level 6 shop, 3400 wb, 15x special tasks

Well okay then but the same still applies. I personally have my enemies set to light purple but I still said red because it’s understood the most

25

You won’t be able to get it without paying

26

I know you’re just trying to be helpful, but why would you recommend Japanese planes to someone who is maining Germany??? 💀

If you want an SL printer for Germany get the JU-288 or Do-335. For tanks the premium RU tank is very good. So is the German T-34

27

Kinda forgot what was in germany lmao, I would probably say Yak-1b

Lmao 😂

I would advise against it, just because it’s not rank 3 and the 2 vehicles I listed off are a lot easier and better SL printers. I also just kind of have a thing against the Yak-1 planes. Why would I fly them when I could fly yak-9’ s or 3’s

29

Air or Ground main?

30

sry, I dont understand here… ?

31

They’re asking for advice on tanks and are an old WOT player, so I’d go with ground

32

Ooh, tough luck.
