I dont use premium tank but my formula is to keep drilling crews on three elite tanks leading to tier 10. For example I drilled my Tiger 1 (H), KT and e75 crews to prepare for e100. BY the time I bought e100, I have a crews of 3 (with 4th currently on training) skills. Each tanks need at least 700 battles. Now my Tiger H just sit there crewless, retired as I think it's a crappy tank no matter how you angled it, 45 degree diamond angle my ass it doesnt work.
Your amx will lead to Batchat which is an annoying tank when used skillfully and it just need only 3 crews. Personally I think if WG banned tier9 and 10 medium I'll be very very happy because they simply outperformed almost anything with fast speed and high firing rate. FUnny thing too because it can pen no matter how I'm angled. And yea you need premium account to speed things up.
Four skills setup.
BIA on all crews is a must.
Commander: 6th sense, Repair, Jack
GUnner: Deadeye, repair, snapshot
Driver: Offroad, repair, smoothride
Some replace camo for repairs and vstab, gld and coated optics for modules.
hmm so you actually mean that you swap around your crew in the tanks and play them in red without re-training them?
and 700 battles per tank is really a lot man, weekly i could only play 4-5 hours.
i feel you man on the Tiger although i dont have them, really could just take snap shot at them somewhere and pierce. meet them as low tier tank i just switch to HE and detrack them, they just die really fast. my highest german tank is pzIII/IV and hetzer; the pz just sucks elited it and just waiting discount on next vk to move on but really love the hetzer! ace it and lots of top gun, keep on derpin'. cant decide should i keep the hetzer or the u.s. m8a1.
dunno about batchat but my current amx got really bad gun depression and acceleration. on countless time when im going for flanking kill on hilly/bumpy terrain i got "WTF" moment when my depression just deny me the shot, forcing me to embarrassingly retreat to my spotting role

If you've researched everything on a tank, that tank could be your training tank.
Premium tank's stats are usually less than optimal compared to same tiered max researched tanks.
It's there for credit grind. That's about all it is.
im pretty much tempted by tank description like on churchill III "generates lots of xp", really?
but yeah i did compare those premium tank with same tier tank, they really dont have many advantages but in contra will have 1 abysmal weakness; 0 armor, too slow, glaring weakspot.
most advantages are on preferential matchmaking which means bullying the low tier
