Preparing for WAR

With the open beta getting closer I try to get the best picture possible about how some mechanics & abilities work so i can get an idea what i want to try out during the few days. The fact i know already I'll play a Black Orc defensive tank makes things easier for me of course. I like to crunch a few numbers from time to time and know exactly what certain stats do. There are two posts i found interesting in particular:
Basic Statistic Functions
Terhix about game mechanics

In addition it helps to find your way around and check a few maps should you want to team up with friends early on:
Tier 1 Flight Masters for Destruction
Tier 1 Flight Masters for Order
Atlas of WAR
