I've been trying to get in to tank companies in World of Tanks but it's pretty difficult. Normally in WoT a computer automated system called match maker arranges the teams and throws them into random battles. In a tank company the company leader arranges their team then throws them into a battle.

Tank companies are divided into 4 different classes and the higher the class the higher the tiers of vehicles. I generally stick to medium companies because they accept up to tier 6 tanks except for artillery which is up to tier 4. The next class up is Champion but I don't have ideal vehicles for it. My only tier 7s are a tiger P which is pretty expensive to repair and a jagdpanther that isn't fully upgraded yet. I do have tier 5 artillery but the champion companies always want tier 6 or higher.

My best tier 6s are a VK 3001 P and a jagdpanzer IV. The first time I TCd I found a company that would let me use the Jagd and I kicked a lot of a**. I averaged 10K profit per battle after expenses I quickly made a lot of money at it. After that first time I've had a b***h of a time finding a company that will let me in. It seems like all the Med TCs want KV1S heavies and Hellcat TDs. My VK isn't as good as a KV, but my jagd can s**t all over a hellcat and has ******** up a fair share of KVs. It's still not a hellcat so they still don't want me.

Last night I got into a TC that would finally accept me. They didn't want my Jagd so I had to use my KV instead. I sat waiting for an hour because the leader of the company only wanted the two aforementioned vehicles. He accepted me because he was getting pretty desperate for tanks. After me he turned about a dozen people away for not having a KV or hellcat then after the first battle contemplated dropping me from the team to get another KV. His battle plan was to have all his KVs move as one group to do the brunt of the work while the rest of us played as support. His strategies totally sucked and we only won one battle out of 7.
