Girls Und Thunder
Was in a GuP mood, so I decided to install the following:

That anglerfish is as good as an extra 50mm of armor plate, evidently. Immediately took it out for a spin and had an absolutely monstrous round, 8 kills, 2 assists, no losses. Took a bit of damage but nothing that kept me from scooting back and fixing it up. At least one T-34 and two SU-122s in that score total! (Pretty sure the SU-122s took some pretty severe damage from my initial shot, a shell from one of those would open up a Panzer IVF like a ration tin.)
Unfortunately other people can't see your custom skin. Fortunately you can't see theirs, though...
The game's been doing a Christmas/New Year's bonus. Normally every day the first win you get from each nation gives you a double bonus... but during the event, it's a 5x bonus. ("Win" so you probably have a good score instead of a multiplier on a crappy score...) At any rate, I've been unlocking stuff like mad.
-US tanks: M2, M3 Stuart, M3A1 Stuart, M3 Lee, M4A1 Sherman, M5A1 Stuart
-US planes: P36, P38G, P400, P40E-1, F4F, F6F-3, F4U-1a, SBD Dauntless, A-20
-German tanks: Whoa nelly. Pz 38(t) A and F. Pz III E, F, J, J1, L, M. Pz IV C, E, F1, F2. StuG III A, F. Marder III. Couple of AA guns.
-Russkie tanks: BT-7. T-28, T-50, T-34 ('40, '41, and '42). KV1-L11. SU-76M and SU-122.
-British planes: Hurricane Mk I, IIB. Spitfire Mk1a. Blenheim.
-Japanese planes: A6M2-N, A6M2. Ki-43-I. Ki-61 (both).
Been playing tanks on the teams with tanks, but I've unlocked everything I can on the US tanks so far (more advanced tanks are locked unless you are in the "beta test", on the live server, which they're charging for. No thanks, I don't want to pay to beta test...) Had some serious luck with the US planes lately, either the .50s are doing better or I'm better with them...

You're probably doing better with them. Other than the P-400, I've been struggling with US planes recently. I'll get a kill, then get one-hit killed myself a few moments later. Frustrating.
I only unlocked a couple of planes in the 5x thingy, but I've nearly "spaded" all of them. A6M2 mod 11, Ki-43 (whee!), Ki-45 (boom!), Corsair and the P-400. Even got about halfway through the tech tree for the TBF Avenger... mostly from one mission where I spent a good two minutes flying without a tail, but that's beside the point.

Yeah, the cannon armament is just beastly - any time I'm in something with a cannon, I'm much more likely to get those quick kills. (Though I had a great round in a Hurricane too...)

I just played my first GF game, in a US reserve tank.
The only kill I got was when I shot down a Dauntless. Ironically, it was an air-to-air kill.

The M2A4 is a piece o' junk... only thing it's good at is fast. Maybe try the PzII C reserve tank for Germany? That 10-shot clip is pretty forgiving, even if it ain't all that much for penetration.
