Hi folks, new to the forum, and i am struggling to understand all the abbreviations posted here, is there perhaps some forum page containing all the secret code-words?

Nope, these abbreviations are either gaming standard or just made up and have become standard in the community.
Most common ones are:

AT/AI: anti tank/anti infantry
LV: light vehicle
medium: medium tank
heavy: heavy tank
TD: tank destroyer

If there's people talking about specific infantry units, it's often easy to guess by context, but otherwise just ask here which ones confuse you.

OP: overpowered/overperformance or in some cases original poster
UP: underpower

Mvgame,kappa, kekw, etc... are mostly used sarcastically and is twitch lingo.

Several units are abbreviated.

Cons/Grens/Rifles/Volks/IS
CE/Pio/RET/SP/RE
PG: Panzergrenadiers
ST: Stormtroopers or Sturmtiger depending on context
MG: machinegun. If specifically you will put MG42,32,Maxim,.50 or vickers.
Pak = AT gun.
LEFH/ML: Howitzers


Clowncar = any truck which allows units to shoot from inside.
