What Jigabachi said,
Light tanks are probably the toughest class. You decided to play the game on extreme setting by doing so.
But I too rushed the tiers. I got to tier 10 in 10 days from bootcamp on this account!
I am a dirty Reroll, Preroll, Jamroll
Playing lights at high tier is a very tough learning curve, but i went exactly the same route and the WZ was my 1st tier 9
But, buy doing it the hard way it made other classes feel easier by comparison, well that how it was for me. The tier 9 can be played a number of different ways depending on your play style and set up.
From memory
I preferred to play it up close and occasionally back off to snipe as with the 59-16, this thing can the hand of rng on its side when you snap shot.not so when scoped
Sniping can work well if you have a good crew.
The arch enemy of this tank are those pesky, French auto loaders, if you get a match with more than 1 avoid close combat and go for snipey mode.
I ran a 4 skill crew with
BIA, cammo, repairs snapshot smooth ride etc etc
either binos, net, fans for sniper mode, or vert stab, optics and rammer for point blank..
You may find tier 10 a very different experience from all the other tiers and it can be quite intimidating, as you get your arse handed to you a lot, for the smallest mistakes.
It may shock you as to how much harder the gameplay is there so just warning you! But if you don;t care about stats why not!
You will love grand battles in this thing.
