Uh no, while ur grinding it out, they are going from tier 7 to 8, to 9, to tier 10, buy buying gold and turning it into tank exp.

U could grind for months and not get to tier9, they went from 1 to 10, w/o even a battle, with gold buying exp.

that is pay to win, they don't even have to face 1 battle to move from 1 to 10, if they buy enough gold.

For the longest time I owned 1 premium tank. A tier V Ram II. I still managed to work my way up to a tier 9 and multiple tier 6 tanks.
And so what if others are advancing faster and than you? It's not like you're going up against them with tier 5 tanks all the time.

Ftr you can't buy gold and just turn it into experience. You have to actually battle in fully upgraded or premium tanks and then convert their experience earned into free experience.

So no you can't go from 1 to 10 without going into matches. Lots of matches. I've got 1.2 million exp in upgraded and premium tanks I could convert.

I've got 10-12 premium tanks. My favorite is the Churchill III. I've got like 750 matches in it. My crew is 83% through their 3rd perk.

Churchill III is premium tier 5 and the upgraded kv1 and 1s are really both superior in gun and armor.

You have to know where to shoot them to stand a chance in the Churchill. My reload is down to 1.83 seconds in mine.

Last time I played I joined a clan and we ran 3 man platoons with them. We would be in team speak. It was a blast when coordinated together.

I'm not even going to argue, it's obvious you don't know shite about this game.

Few buddies and I run a matilda BP platoon every so often. 5 in a pack, with a reload of 2 seconds. We may only go 14 kmph but once we get to where we're going it's funny watching people not know wtf to do
