You cannot use Gaijin store for purchase if you play WT exclusively on PS4 account.

You can read more on linking your PS4 account here:

Please be aware that if you play only on PS4, you should simply wait for Major Update and then, you will have ~2week to buy pack via PSN and get pre-order bonuses.

2nd one helps to achieve 1st. But it's not better.

If you have option to cap point or destroy enemy tank, you should almost always cap the point - because of reasons i stated earlier.

In my case the overwhelming majority of wins are due to ticket bleed, not due to "there are no active enemy player left" or what's the name of it (it's so rare that I do not even remember how it goes).

So, destroying enemy is important, but capping point is more important and more rewarding.

Additional jettison rocket engines that helps during take-off.

You can check your controls - you can (or already have) bind special key to use them.

After you speed up a little on airstrip, launch them, they will give you additional speed during take-off. After few seconds they will run out of fuel and drop.
