Is this all there is?

Excalibur_Bane, on 23 February 2011 - 01:39 AM, said: I started playing two days ago and so far I've managed to eek out a meager M2 medium tank. I've suffered countless battles beyond count where I am simply destroyed in one shot, or outgunned by multiple tanks. I've gotten very few kills in these two days and even less experience. Despite having a more powerful tank, the trend continues. I launch a random battle, try to find some cover and promptly get destroyed by a heavier tank or an artillery round after I've been spotted. I've tried advancing on the enemy and firing and running with little success, I've tried staying behind and defending the base with even less success.
Is this all there is to this game is mindless deathmatches between tanks? I've seen no prevailing teamwork or much chat at all during battles, let alone any cooperation. My teammates only a few feet away from me are more then content to sit there and watch me take round after round and do nothing. My interest in this game is waning badly. I'm averaging 100 experience per battle and that's with the premium account enabled. I shutter to think what it would be like without it.
I don't know if I'm just bad player, or I'm getting stuck with bad teammates or the enemy is just that good but this just isn't any fun at all. I like the game, I really do. World war 2 games with a an arcade controls are very appealing but the learning curve (if that's what you call my experience so far) is far too steep and need to be improved. This goes way beyond the typical MMO grinding experience. I need to fight another 53 battles to unlock the next tank at an average rate of 100 experience a battle.
I need some help folks, please don't bash me, I'm just frustrated and I'd like to know what it is that I'm doing so, so wrong here because I surely don't understand it.
