Tanks Clans Want You To Have?

churchill50:  At tier 6 and 8 crew skills/field mods don't really matter all that much. It helps if you're playing the T-34-85M since you're kind of expected to have a good Soviet medium tank crew for the Obj 907. But if you don't yet, then that's not really important. At tier 10, 3-4 crew skills will cover all the important ones on most tanks. Of course, if you have better crews than that, it's always better.On tanks like the Manticore and EBR 105, you're expected to have very specialized crews since those tanks need 6-7 skill crews to get all the important skills/perks.  For Field Mods, they definitely help. But they're not gamechangers most of the time. So get them if you have time, but if you don't have them then don't worry too much. Also be aware that in Clan Wars on some tanks you'll have different equipment loadouts than in Random Battles. The dual equipment loadouts in Field Mods really help with this.For instance, in Random Battles I run Turbo, V-Stab, Rammer on the Obj 277. In Clan Wars you want to be running Hardening, Turbo, Rammer. Same situation for the Chieftain on some maps.Hardening especially is really important in Clan Wars. One tank having an extra 200-300 HP doesn't make too much of a difference. But when your entire brawling force has 200-300 extra HP per tank, that makes a massive difference. For map blocking. I wouldn't say it matters too much.The map rotation for Clan Wars Campaigns/Seasons changes semi-frequently anyways.Plus the ways you play maps differs so widely between Random Battles and Clan Wars that not having experience on a map won't affect you too much in CW.
