I'm always the noob...

IPaul72:    Hello OP  Has crazylove above pointed out the guide made by tazilon is an excellent guide.  But to top up on the above there are also some other little guides that may help you out: Here is a weak spots guide that will be helpful if you are facing tanks you find hard to pen. Here is a tanks visibility guide that will help also. Here is a guide to skills and perks which you may need for your crews. Here is a camo guide to help you learn how to best hide your tank.   Scout tanks like the T-50 always tend to see much higher match making than the other tanks, but in these lighter tanks like it has been said your not made to deal out damage but rather spot.  However, it is always nice when you come up against a target and you know how to hurt them. Tracking a vehicle is one way and it also helps out your team tremendously, especially arty. When you are in your lighter tank you also have speed on your side and the ability to move from flank to flank and point out the bad area's.  Anyways I wish you luck and happy hunting  Kind Regards   IPaul72
