Started playing this again for the first time in 6 years. I'm lost. I have a lot of clan gold and premiums though. Is there a discord? Where do I look up stats for tank winrates? Are there mods I need to have like the old bush remover?

I sent you a private message. We can help you here and on the Discord if you like.

Also beware. The official WoT discord and the community has gone full loving Chud. I was preaching about some of the WoT clans in our discord being incredibly racist when I went into clan wars for a little while. I decided it wasn't for me because the toxic behavior is just wrong. Of course WoT is going to do nothing about it so I would only play the game to have fun and stick with us.

Pansy is the most hated clan in all of WoT and we love it.

With this non-sense crew 2.0 system, is there anyway to game the system with crews? I got people just living in the barracks that aren't assigned to anything but do I need to buy low tier tanks and toss them in it to get maximum value?

World of Warplanes is mostly MAGA free and is still all chat. It's also mostly bots though so trash talk isn't viable.

I started playing this a bit when it hit Steam and it's been fun-ish. I only just figured out that your crew doesn't lose their skills when you retrain them to another tank. So yeah, that's how it's going.

Are there any other basic mechanics I should know that might not be obvious?
And could I get an invite to the discord and whichever clan is active in NA?

Do you understand the spotting mechanics? That's probably the most important aspect for being good at the game.

I don't even think the people who coded the spotting mechanics understand them, and it's only going to get worse *when* Crew 2.0 and field modifications goes live.

Maybe?

It seems like you spot from above your tank and you can see tanks if they are behind one bush but not multiple.

E: \/\/ Thanks, that was super helpful.

I managed to get keep a tryhard reroll going on a tier 10/9 Studzianki. They complained from the start about the team and did it all game, without doing anything much else.

Plus his stats are very interesting. Almost nothing played below tier 8.

Might be a try hard, but 30k games is a bit much for a reroll.

Speaking of beta, I found a folder of old WoT screenshot from at least ten years ago.

Matchmaking wonders:





Old battle result screen:



End of closed beta stats:



First battle after the game went live:



More MM wonders:



Trigger warning - before WG implemented artillery limit of three, battles like this were common:

That's impossible, Wargaming specifically said that people have too many universal fragments and BEGGED them not to give them any more.
