World of Tanks

So if I end up burying my world of tanks posts somewhere in this blog, I'll just post a link to all of the things I write up in here with a brief description for help. Through my months of playing World of Tanks I've felt the desire to write up some helpful posts for my newer clan members. After writing a few and then switching clans I've lost access to hosting my collection of works on their forums (due to them closing after I left) so I've decided to rework them and host them on my blog. Hopefully they will all be helpful and informative!
