Welcome Rookies to World of Tanks!

I do appreciate your effort and everyone in this project, as a matter of fact I am willing to help anyone asking nicely, write guides and share my personal experience because this is the first step to better teams and more enjoyable gameplay. But unfortunately this will not have an impact that seems to be expected on your side and here's why:Players simply don't read the forums
As said, we don't have a comprehensive in-game tutorial Ad 1)
This is a free to play game and therefore it suffers form "free-to-play syndrome" - 70% of players will not read the forum unless it is absolutely necessary. Yes all of us started but this makes us an exception, above average players actually willing to improve.
When an average players need answers (I do know one personally) he'll just play the game until he understands. If he doesn't get it, oh well he'll just play regardless, why should he waste his time here when he could be playing. Unless you heavily advertise it on the main site the impact will be underwhelming.
Ad 2)
And this is the fault of the developers, the current tutorial in not enough. It is a step in the right direction, but pointless if we have to wait another year for the second part. I wrote my opinion in this thread, so I'm posting the link to avoid wall of text: My turn on how to improve gameplay
To sum it up, I support your idea 100%, but make it more visible, if not mandatory to read. Or else it won't be effective as it should be.
