Yes thay can, but don't waste your gold on them. Premium tanks are crap. The only advantage they offer is lowered cost of repair and ammo. Other than that, and non-premium tank will pwn over it.

5% of your total XP earned from every battle goes into the "Free XP" pool.

There are ways to convert Gold into "Free XP" from your regular XP, just do it carefully, so as not to deplete XP needed to research a current tank.

Best way, find unused XP on tanks you are no longer using or own, and convert that into FXP. This is easiar to do if you have "Elited" the tank. Elite tanks are made by researching all items on a particular tanks tech tree, and I mean everything.

Eliting also give a small bonus % of XP for every battle that tank does. And it unlocks unused XP for conversion.

If you no longer own the tank, and you didn't Elite it, you can always buy it again, convert the XP, then resell it. You will lose credits in the deal, but you get those back fast enough.

If you need credits, best place to look is in your "Depot". Just click on the "Not compatible with my vehicles" box and sell everything you know you'll not need again. Be sure you don't sell anything that can be used on a future purchase, radios and ammo come to mind. But sometimes the guns may be useful, as some carry forward on several models.

I just started playing this game yesterday and I have a quick question.

How do I spot enemy tanks for XP? I've looked on the WoT forums but all I see there is how the spotting system is broken.

Also, my very first tank kill was on a person named Allane. I was hoping this was Allane from TPG so I could rub his nose in it...

Spotting is done automatically, you don't have to hit a button like in the BF games. If you can see the enemy tank is dependent on a lot of things like their movment speed, if they fired, type and size of enemy tank, their crew's skills and if they have bought a camo net or not. If the game determines you can see them, which is based on your crew's skills and the view range of your turret then the enemy tank will appear as visable to you and your team.

Also, I would highly recommend getting camo nets for anyone using SPGs or AT guns, it makes a fairly large difference and unlike all of the other modules you can remove it ans swap it to another tank.

For those who are having platoon invite issues - there is a workaround on the forums.

Have the person inviting be in a US timezone (on their desktop, not in game, if there is such a setting), and have the people being invited change their timezone to anything GMT+ (Russia worked for me, ymmv). This should solve it.

We're trying to get as many people on and get a tank company going. We'd like to get as close to 15 people as we can.

GET ON AND GET READY!
