You mainly buy some tanks, experiment how you like, just remember that bigger tanks take longer to spawn, unless you spawn them in through a spawning helipad after destruction instead of completely being destroyed. Lights-Mediums be ready for the frontline, some heavies seem long range, like Tank Destroyers. Definitely long range missiles, they're in the back but Expensive, die in a few hits. Troop transports capture objectives. Lots of people like the repair trucks.

At the bottom is your action bar with 8 slots. You quickly get the items to fill the 4 item slots, USE it. You quickly have 4 skills to fill 4 skill slots, USE Them, no blank spaces. The game has an expanding list of things you are using, here's a checklist: Skills/facility, Tanks max 50, items, crew vitality. Gold will come in at a rate to not feel pinched on anything. You want more than 2 default tanks , when you are destroyed there is a timer on that tank, so you need a rotation of 5 at least (or 20 if you spawn 4 tanks like me, ahem).

BATTLELINE! Lets talk about the Battleline! Thats how you win, there's a battle line, you step up to it and itll move forward, or some enemy is doing the same and you got to go beat them. Here's some examples of the battleline, check attached image. The battleline has a 90 degree "inflection" max? If that makes sense? You will see right angles constantly, that's where someone is pushing the battleline like a wave behind a boat. Capturing bases are helpful support, but thats not the win game objective. In the image, all in the top row will start a 60 second countdown or 10 second countdown in later Sudden Death, that will result in a win.
As you can see, this is not personal choice, tactics, or preferences , this is a basic preparedness guide. Use big groups when it is useful, look up "Defeat in Detail" tactics on the internet, if you don't realize it already. Swarming. Check the other guide for keyboard keys.

Crew Vitality has been making me sweat for hours. Basically, don't worry about it that much, use a crew vitality drink when the rank ups get Long enough to not keep it in the Green Safe zone. Crew members don't Die, there's a medkit, its about 12,000 gold, not big. Worth using the crew drink instead.

Having 4 tanks is not 4 times better. Even if you find that Z is the attack order button, the AI has a fire rate and an accuracy penalty that is so far undetermined by me, maybe 3x on both. Multiple tank warfare is still Usable, keep one back as a backup, or charge in real close for the sure hit, and retreat, they wont fire again in virtually forever anyway.

Spend researchers, spend tank experience level up, keep joining PvP games like no tomorrow. Its a well polished game so let me know if you found something that frustrated you.
