How many expedition tanks have you unlocked?
I haven't unlocked any of them, yet, due to a lack of time, but I got the chance to try them all.
Any advice for commanders struggling to decide which reward tank to pick?
Well, If the choice is between the Phase 1, Char Futur, and 777, I would pick the Phase 1. It is a mix between the Conqueror and the M103. It's not as good hull-down as the Conqueror, but definitely stronger than the M103. It is a frontline hull-down brawler with a more reliable turret. If you enjoy that kind of style in a tank, it's perfect for you. If you like high mobility tanks and a more stealthy playstyle, the Char Futur is your pick, thanks to its auto-reloader, good camo, and speed. However, for most inexperienced players making the high intra-clip work is extremely difficult, especially in combination with the reload time. The 777, in my opinion, only has one strong point, side-scraping, but it is extremely strong in that. But other than that, I think its definitely the weakest one.
If you could only pick one expedition reward tank which would it be and why?
Well, for me, I'd go with the Phase 1 since I enjoy the Conqueror a lot, I like heavys with decent speed and armor you can use. This allows you to battle on the frontlines and trade with your opponent.
Any Steel Hunter tips for those commanders struggling to rack up the expedition tokens?
My main tip is, not to rush straight into a fight, right at the beginning. If you start a fight right away, you need to be 100% sure that you can win it. It also allows a 3rd player to come in and kill both people, so watch out. Picking the fights carefully and going for the loot drops, especially in the beginning, is definitely a more conservative way scoring you more high placings.
How many expedition tanks have you unlocked?
I got 2 and will have 3 when all of Steel Hunter is done.
If you could only pick one expedition reward tank which would it be and why?
Advice would be, get the American tank if you want a comfortable tank, the French one if you are looking for a challenge and a bit more of a unique tank. I'd only pick the Soviet one as a 3rd option because it's not that unique.
I picked the French tank since it has features not seen on any other tank, the armor layout and especially the gun is hard to master but fun to use.

Remember that you don't have to outrun the bear, you just have to be faster than your friends, meaning that trying to stay alive as long as possible is sometimes the better strategy. Maybe not to win, but to get points towards the tokens.
How many expedition tanks have you unlocked?
None so far, but saving up for the Char Futur 4
Any advice for commanders struggling to decide which reward tank to pick?
Watch my video! No brainer is the AE Phase I. For enthusiasts and experienced players I would recommend the Char Futur. The Obj 777 is pretty bad in my opinion, I would not recommend it at all.
If you could only pick one expedition reward tank which would it be and why?
I like the Char Futur the most because it offers an interesting playstyle. It is pretty mobile, with decent camo and a 4-second intra-clip reload time make it challenging to play.
Any Steel Hunter tips for those commanders struggling to rack up the expedition tokens?
Safe strategy: avoid early fights and try to upgrade the vehicle by collecting loot as fast as possible. Be opportunistic, try to third-party fights. Know, which tank has which special abilities, and which are effective against which enemies. That way you can better decide if to fight or to bail

How many expedition tanks have you unlocked?
Right now, I unlocked only one Tank, Char Futur 4. My second choice will be AE Phase I.
In my opinion, players should decide based on how they play. If you play aggressively and rely on high damage, then Object 777 Version II is for you. Do you like autoloaders and sniping? Chose Char Futur 4.
AE Phase 1 is for people who like to have nice hull-down (good turret and gun depression).
If you could only pick one expedition reward tank which would it be and why?
I would go for Char Futur 4, because it suits me perfectly. I love autoloaders and it has amazing firepower, 1,560 damage with one clip.

Be patient, play carefully and try to get as many loots as possible. Especially since you can often win without even firing a shot (I did a few times). The priority is to quickly reach level 7.

How many expedition tanks have you unlocked?
Since I didn't play the Frontline mod, the reward tank on Tier IX is still waiting for me, but I'll definitely go for Char Futur 4, because this French tank excels for me in fun gameplay, unlike its "competitors" of two heavy tanks.
If you could only pick one expedition reward tank which would it be and why?
You choose the tank according to your own preferences, I personally recommend Char Futur 4, mainly because of mobility and its clip, but it can discourage someone because of the long reloading time between shells.

In Steel Hunter mode, I definitely recommend playing the British tank, it has great bonus skills and offers good opportunities for module research.
