If you're going to go the USSR route, focus on the T-44 tech tree. T-44's are awesome medium tanks, fast, strong, and have good firepower. Then, look at the Heavy Tanks, you will suffer and slog along with the KV, but eventually you get into some of the best Heavies in the game.

"Tank Company Battle" mode is available now.

What "Tank Company Battle" is?

Tank company is a team of up to 15 players, who join the battle as one team. To take part in the battle your team is to have the total amount of tier points from 70 to 90 (tier points – the sum of tank levels in a team). This mode is in test format yet. There will be several different modes of "Tank Company Battles" in future based on various criteria: on tier points, on nations, on tank levels. Tank companies is a unique opportunity for players to cooperate not only in training battles, but also join tank companies confrontations with the possibility to earn experience and credits.

How to create your own tank company?

Each player with the Premium account can create his own tank company. On the other hand, anyone can join it. You just need to choose in the “Battle” menu an option “Tank Company” where you can create your own tank company (Premium account needed) or join already existing ones.

How can you invite your friends to the tank company?

The procedure is the same as in Training Battles. All the information about your tank company is in the chat window. When the player’s tank is ready for a battle, he just needs to push “Ready” button. His current tank is being blocked since now. When the leader sees that his teammates are ready for the battle he pushes the button “Join the battle”.

Should one have a premium account to join a tank company?

You can join a tank company without having a Premium account.

What are the main features of and possible benefits from participating in tank companies?

When a tank company is completely formed it joins the battle against another tank company randomly. Participate in battles shoulder to shoulder with your friends! All the players of the tank company will earn experience and credits.

Is there any possibility of voice communication within the tank company?

Voice chat is available only for tank companies, platoons and in training battles. To switch the voice chat on you need to go to the “Menu” then choose the tab “Game” and put a mark in the “Voice chat” cell.

You can activate the voice chat with “Q” key (or you can change it in the settings of the game). You can find the topic “Permanent Company Meeting Place” on our official forum. In this topic you can appoint the time of a battle, leave applications to join tank companies and invite players in already existing tank companies.

This time World of Tanks was previewed by Xavier R from outpostgamez.com:

“The game is certainly not "pay to win" by any means. Getting some extra experience and access to better ammunition and unique tanks is about the limit of it. Even with the better or "gold" ammo, a player can still be brought down by a player with no gold whatsoever. Overall, I think this game has some legs.”

Enjoy it!

Right now I have a BT-2, and SU-18, and SU-26, and an AT-1. I prefer the 18 over the 26, and the BT-2 is really fun and fast. I have all my training done for the BT-7, just need to buy one, and try it out. I do have another question though. If I train up a crew in say the SU-18, then put them in the SU-26, will they be better than the stock 50% guys you get with a new tank?

So is this still a closed Beta? I wanna give 'er a try.. but I don't wanna wait to be accepted, that, and the closed Beta started a long time ago.. I doubt they'll let me play. Sigh.
