Nice! [BE] on top!!

Last night when we were doing a tank company we met someone who gave us a lot of advice

His advice was that we should stop wasting our time on tank companies and go out and start grinding in random battles. We need for clan wars is about 10 heavies usually no mediums and if mediums, use highest tier, no tank destroyers, and some arty but we need a majority of heavies.
If I missed something, please pm me what I missed and I will edit this.
