coming from blitz, how to play tds?

howdy yall, i’ve been playing blitz for about 7 years now and am finally gunna be able to play wot. ive played a bit in the past, but lets just say it didn’t go well. i played like i was still in blitz, and that got be dead, very fast, almost every game

how does one play tank destroyers? i main the usa e4 line and similar turreted tds, but also play 4005 and grill lines often. what can i do to be an effective player?

any advice on how to go about collecting? blitz you just save up gold, sometimes use cash, and that’s it. it feels like wot has 10 diff currencies. i’d wanna get mainly usa tds but i collect all tds

should i try out arty or lights after?

any other advice? i’m so lost
