The use of “tank experience” once you’ve maxed the tank

world-of-tanks

Once you max a tank (elite status) you gain more "free experience" (gold stars) available for every other tank upgrade, but you still receive standard tank experience (silver stars).

What is the use for that? Can they be spent or changed into something?

I am playing on the Xbox 360.

You can use gold coins to convert tank specific exp into free exp.

You can also check the box that says "Accelerate crew training" (in the garage view), which doubles the XP gained by the crew member with the lowest experience, this consumes all of the tank specific exp. Free exp is not affected by this.

The meaning of the three kinds of penetration

According to the chaps I found talking about it over here it's to do with the different ammunition types:

AP / HEAT / HE
penetration is related to the shell type. AP is the "standard" round HEAT has the most penetration, buts its bought with gold = you pay with real money HE has low penetration and high damage, but it will always do some damage when you don't penetrate the armor, its used against high tiers when your gun can't penetrate them.

What happens if you put a different tank’s crew in your new tank

If you see the % marker as red is because the Crew is not trained for the specific Tank.

The effects of having a crew non specialized on the Tank they are handling affects in multiple ways:

If the whole crew was driving a tank different from the one you transferred them on, the general performance of the tank will be poor; lets assume you are transferring your crew from a medium tank to a heavy tank, the driving skills of the driver will be lower and the capacity to detect enemy tanks by the commander will be lower as well, same applies to all the other roles of the crew members. (Imagine transferring the crew members of a private Jet into an Airbus 380!)
There are other scenarios that can happen, for example, mixing crew members non-trained for the tank and others who are, in this case it will depend on the role; so for instance if the commander is trained for the tank you are using, but for instance the loader is not, you will spot enemies normally, but your re-loading performance will be poor. Take into account that the Tank Commander influences the whole crew, so a more specialized Commander will result on a better performing tank.

You can always re-train your crew from tank to tank, by right clicking your crew member, and selecting the Training tab of their profile, there you select to which tank you wish him to be re-trained; remember there are different types of training (50%-free, 75%-20000 igc,100% 200Gold) and as you might have noticed they also greatly influence the performance of the tank. Note however you can not transfer crew from Tank Destroyers into Light-Medium-Heavy Tanks, nor from SPG's to any type of tanks and vice-versa.

It is generally recommended to have your crew at least trained to 75%, if this is not possible try to train your commander and driver to 75%, they influence the general performance of the tank more than any other member.
