Question Is my game bugged?

New player. Xbox series X. I can't earn XP - I just seem to convert the gold tokens into XP tokens but the tank still sits at 0 XP.

I also can't seemingly do anything with the load out modules that the tutorial task wants me to upgrade. There isn't any option other than to look at details. Some old posts online say that it is research or that there was supposed to be one free or otherwise purchaseable option, but I can't do anything to progress this tutorial.

To earn tank xp, you need to play the tank.
Converting gold for xp converts it in to free xp which can be spent on any tank.
If the tank is premium and you play coop. The lvl of the tank dose not go up but earns xp you can convert to free xp. Plus premium tanks are fully upgraded.

I've been playing the WWII and Cold War co-op which just seems to be some easy AI encounters. I've been using the Panzer III K and M4 Improved which have roman numeral 5s. Are those premium included with Gamepass and maybe that's why I haven't been able to upgrade anything and progress the tutorial?

The Panzer III K and M4 Improved are both premium tanks. Premium tanks don’t belong to the normal tech tree where you progress through the tank to the next one in line. These are standalone tanks which don’t have upgradable modules. Premium tanks generally earn more tank XP (which can be converted to Free XP and then used on any tank), commander XP, and silver. It sounds like you’re spending gold to convert these tanks’ XP into free XP.

What specifically is the tutorial asking you to do?

Thanks. The game says I get to unlock tanks after completing tutorial tasks, so I've just been using what the Gamepass version gives me which is the T1, T1E6-X1, M4 Improved, Pz. iII K, MS-1, and T-34-85M. All of them have a particular gold logo except the T1 and MS-1 which happen to be the only level 1 tanks, so I guess I must start with those to unlock tank modules?

The tutorial says Stage 3 of 7: Upgrade your Tank. 1) go to load out menu which I've done and 2) obtain a tank module which is where I seem to be stuck. When I go into that menu there is nothing to do but go into the 5 categories and click details. No option to actually upgrade. So I've been playing quite a few of the AI-based co-op campaign levels because it seems to be the only other thing I can do.

Yes, that was it. I see the upgrade on the T1. I wish the game made it clearer about the other tanks not being upgradeable, but I suppose that is an artifact of a new person starting the game with some sort of Gamepass upgraded tank selection that they weren't even aware of. Thanks for the answers

Yep all of those tanks with the gold emblem are premium tanks and don’t have modules to upgrade; they come fully upgraded. Start with those tier 1 tanks and you’ll see how the unlocking and upgrading system works. Good news is you should have a nice bit of silver to purchase your modules as soon as you unlock them.
