WoT is fast approaching an open beta and if you get in before the reset you could get the xp you made returned when it goes open, so now is the time to strike!
Of course, the more we have online the more people and platoons we can get going the better the experience we can all benefit from!!

so go get it on - its the brand new thing, baby!

It's true, it's awesome. I've never really been convinced of the benefit of platoons though, they just seem to stop you getting back into the game. If they implimented stuff like being able to see your squadmates on the minimap it would be more useful.

Wait, it's in closed beta? I'm pretty sure this is the only game where my application has been approved in less than a day, then.

Platoons without TS is kinda pointless, but formulating strategy and calling targets greatly improves survivability. You can see your team in various ways, not least of which being the alt button.

ALT shows all friendlies, not that useful for finding your platoon. Everything is easier for teamwork with TS, but a few GUI helpers wouldn't go amiss.
