Bandicam:
Bandicam is decent and easy to use recording software. What this allows you to do is record your CW battles, capturing not only the match itself, but also the "battle communications" of the team. This can be incredibly useful when reviewing matches for good or bad battle calls, and diagnosing and addressing the communications in the battle. The free version has a watermark and only records for up to 10 minutes, but you can start and stop anytime. Once done you can upload the videos to youtube.

Replays:
Replays can also be useful for there small size and if you need to quickly see and understand what previous matches an opponent has done. http://wotreplays.com/ is a site which you can use to upload replays and share a link quickly with others. The downside is that they are viewable to anyone.

Cloud Storage:
When you want to share replays Dropbox, and Google drive are cloud storage sites that allow you to upload replays to them and allow others to download them with a link you provide. These services are free for 2gb on dropbox, and 5gb via google. These can be very handy when you need to give other people replays of previous CW matches, or for diagnosing problems or areas that need to be worked on, with other people. The more competent eyes you have on a problem, the better the solution will be.

MapTactic:
MapTactic developed by Flamino is a very handy browser based drawing tool for mapping out strategies on WoT maps. First you must make an account (its quick and very easy), once sign in you are able to host a new briefing session. It creates a webpage that anyone you give the link to can join. The commander can allow others to “draw” on the pages, as well as place tank icons down on the map.
This is far in away the best and most used tool in any good leader’s arsenal. Each battle you should prep your players as to the strategy they will be running by giving them the link to your page. Afterwards you can make adjustments, as well as place enemy tank icons down in order to give perspective on the battle. Flamino also has an excellent tutorial page for those just starting out.

Voice Communication:
There are a few options available for clans who want to set up voice communication software for their members. Almost every clan uses these because they make communication much easier, whether in battles, in meetings, or just for fun building group cohesion. There are various size servers available, so it’s possible to start off small say 50-person server and then bump up to a 100 if you need it, or more.
TeamSpeak 3 is probably the most commonly used one. It’s relatively easy to use and provides the admin a whole host of options to play with to better cater to a clan’s needs. Even if you choose not to use TS3, please be aware that many clans you will need to communicate do you it, so its handy for diplomatic purposes to have it installed.

Ventrilo is probably the second most widely used voice communication software after Team Speak. It is simply, relatively straightforward, and generally less expensive than TS3.

Mumble is another option available. It is typically the least expensive but probably the least common used in World of Tanks.

Clan Forum/Website:
There are numerous options available to clans wanting to make a website or host a forum. It is pretty hard these days to not run into someone who does not have a website, or at least know someone who can set one up. However, the time required/energy means that for many clans it’s simply better to use a hosting service.
These forums are used outside of the regular WoT forums as a way for the members of a clan to discuss things internally. There discussions can be held between officers, or soldiers about what the best course of action should be. Most clans also use their website for recruitment as well, asking each applicant to signup on their site and send in an application. These potentially recruits can then be asked questions in order to determine if they are a good fit for the clan, before accepting their application via the WoT UC page.
One of the easiest to use hosting forum services for clans is Enjin. It is possible to setup an enjin site for free, and get by pretty easily. If you or your clan needs extra resources they do have upgrades that can be purchased anytime.
