All I know is the tier 1-3 Jap tanks are holding me up from getting my master tanker and have been for a long time. I play tier 2 for a few matches a day and I never see any tier 1-3 jap tanks. I need 4 more tanks to finish and have been trying for months.

Get into a clan then use US West one night, run two platoons and chances are you'll hit each other pretty quickly.
Is there a reason you guys play this over War thunder? From someone that has only played both games for around 3 days played, war thunder looks superior in almost every way.
Also the world of warships seems like it's getting released as a half assed money grab trying to bleed money out of the genre before war thunder gets their sea project rolling.

War thunder is kind of a mess. Its arcade combat is more 'realistic' after a fashion, but it's no where near as tight as WoT as far as mechanics go. I do kind of enjoy playing it but I don't like the matches as much. WoT there's some serious strategy and tactical follow-through needed to gain certain objectives. WT, you kill the dude in the area then he respawns and roles back up there.
To put it another way:
WT is CoD on Nuketown with no respawn timer.
WoT is Counterstrike 1.6

Warthunder has a lot more sim oriented aspects as well, and offer arcade/realistic/sim difficulties. There is terrain penalties that affect you like muddy ground, view distance I believe is much further as well. I believe you can see 2+km in WT I thought WoT was like .5/1km view distance (this might be wrong but it was cited as a difference) War Thunder's under the hood simulator is quite good. As a game its worth a look if WWII vehicle combat is possibly your thing.

I don't clan and have never platooned at 16k game.
Been running theT49 for a week. Took me a while to get the hang of it, but after a while it's starting to click. Have a 59% win rate in it now and a 2k damage average which isn't bad I guess. Not sure how long the novelty will still have appeal tho.
I've never played a higher tier light tank, the biggest drawback so far seems to be late at night almost every match is a 3+ minute queue.

The great thing about the T49 IMO is the flexibility. You can put the 90mm on it and it's a pretty damn good sniper too.
Also big reason for the long queue is that light tanks are limited like arty and a ton of people are grinding to get into the AMX 30 right now - on top of the 3 new T8 lights being still 'new enough'.

well you have different terrain types in WoT as well, each tank also has different values for soft/medium/hard terrain resistances which will affect your speed and acceleration
WoT also has a more realistic damage/blocking model and that promotes the use of tactics such as sidescraping and going hull down
the only real advantage that WT has over WoT is graphics, the inclusing of aerial combat, no artillery shenanigans and maybe a better community idk
Armored Warfare looks like its gonna be a better WoT

I actually don't mind WT but 1) I already spent tons of time/money in WoT, 2) WoT just has way the fuck more tanks, 3) the mechanics are much tighter even if 'unrealistic' AP/range/armor values to get the game playable, 4) matches give tactics meaning because if you kill the WF E-100 2 minutes into the game by guessing where he's going to deploy, you've just gained a huge advantage. I don't feel like you get that in WT.
I'll have to check out Armored Warfare, though.

I watched one video of Armored Warfare. They really made a huge effort to reduce the amount of times in a game. It was a little too twitch for me, you always knew when you were spotted etc...Just didn't look appealing, but I'm sure lots will go for it.

Saw the are redoing some of the maps, sand river, westfield and karelia. Making them much flatter and removing a large amount of trees/bushes. At this rate we're gonna have a flat square with no trees/bushes to play on.
I thought today was free box tank day but I must have miscounted.

Yea one is at G4 pointing north northwest one is at H5 pointing north. It really doesn't look different from sand river at all except maybe trench, I think there's more rocks and puddles in it right now. Sand dunes and rock outcroppings look identical. They are probably both after pics, I don't remember a town being near the D1 spawn.
They skullfucked Westfield and ruined Karelia.
Status Report: Reworked maps: Karelia, Westfield and Sand River
They should just change the name to World of Artillery.

I think they're good changes those maps were all pretty shitty after a fashion. It already is World of Artillery so I'm not too worried about it, have to stay mobile or give up.
Funny story, I logged into WoT on an airplane once. I actually got a kill playing arty once despite the unplayable latency. lol. Dude just didn't move...
Though Westfield, I'm not sure what it's going to do. It's already a campfest, removing the ridge is just going to bottle everything into the town, I guess?
