So where is the fun?

How much do you actually learn when you're getting one-shotted by the first tank you meet? Except, of course, that since you'll get one-shotted in any case you might as well suicide-scout straight into the enemy base. Or go hide in a bush somewhere far from the action...
In short, the game force me to play through a horrible grind in order to progres. It doesn't really matter if I "hunker down" or "blow right through", from tier 3+ I'm still looking at something like 60+ or even 100+ matches to get to the next tier. Less if I've got lots of free XP (which requires grinding with another tank), more if I actually want to research some of the modules in the vain hope that it will make my tank better (it usually wont).
How funny is it? Not very funny at all...
What's the delay then? I'm actually curious... Fixing the matchmaking (or, at least, trying to fix it) should be a simple matter of tweaking the variables that control the matchmaking and then rolling a small patch out. If that don't work, tweak them some more and roll out another patch.
This, together with the (in)visibility issue, is going to kill the game before it even launch in the EU/US and needs to be fixed ASAP...
