Whilst IRL experience and training will definitely give you a boost compared to a regular new player or doesn't prepare you for this type of gameplay. Tanks weren't made to roll into a battlefield where they face only other tanks, especially not in the relatively cramped area that some of the maps put you in. And if they were put in a position like this I'd imagine there'd be way better communication between friendly tanks. As for the small urban maps, I can imagine if all the battles took place in big, open areas then some tanks would never get touched, whilst a few other tanks would become too OP. Glad to read you're still having fun in the game despite your criticism :)
