A sense of the game after ONE DAY of playing

Boomsticksolo, on Dec 13 2016 - 09:05, said: Hello all,   I finally found time to try playing WOT after a lot of flak from a few friends who are kinda well known in the WOT community. I have watched them play several times when visiting with them and had them explain at length the best strategies for maps, types of tanks etc. I have even had to endure playing a few matches in their tanks with them over my shoulder laughing and giving directions.    I have always found the game pretty realistic and nice to look at (great quality of graphics). But I too am a heavy gamer and I simply did not have time available to start a new game. I tend to play heavy in a few games at a time and mildly in a few others. One of my heavy slots opened up when I decided to leave whats probably the biggest online community after playing it hardcore for 12 years. So here I was with a good chunk of time open for something new.   I spent the last 3 weeks talking with my friends and getting a game plan on what tanks to start with etc. I also spent a good deal of time researching the game via these threads and studying wiki.wargaming.net, which I highly recommend.   Then yesterday I created an account and here I am.   So after one day I have few things to bring up:   1. There has to be something that can be done about the griefing. I got killed (tk) 4 times and pushed off a hill or just pushed around in general at least 4 times.    2. What I read here in the threads about light tanks not scouting, WOW. So true, it seemed to be 100% of the games where our team's light's refused to scout or move forward at all, all were losses.   3. I want to get to the t5 Stug first then roll lights, but I made the mistake of buying a Marder 38T. I then had one option to buy another Tier4 tank before i get the T5 Stug? Why in the world would you force a player who is trying to move through the tiers, to have to buy a second tier 4 in the same line? why would you not just make it an option like all the lower tiers where I would have multiple options of which tank to buy next. Just doesnt make sense and a waste of players time.   That's it so far, Having a blast and looking forward to endless hours of fun improving my skills here in the World of Tanks.
