The Gamemechanics are relativly simple.
You have Armor thicknes, armor angle and penetration and damage points.
-If an enemy shows his back and parks behind a building, shoot at his tracks to detrack him and penetrate him to death! (sound more sexual than it realy is)
-never shoot at a sloped armor from a bad angle, the round will bounce.
-if you havea good gun, its ok, if not, shoot at weak points like hatches, engine, fueltank and amorack.
If you are looking for a more easy line, the KV1 line is fine, the germans are a bit difficult but nothing to compare to the french. The american line is also very funny, love the M4 but its morea medium tank than a heavy. You should try out the game,, the different tanks types and find out what kind of tank is yours.
Light scouts
medium
heavy
tank destroyers
arty
As Gepard said, you start with Tier 1 and you will work up to Tier 10. There are guns around that make over 900 damage points... that hurts.
@Gepard, fantastic 1.000.000 award! Good work!
