smfc_1984 126 Report post Posted September 22, 2018 play low tire premium vehicle, I have gotten many times good scores in low tier and way way more rp/sl than I would get in 6.7+ Top tier is pay to play, at least for me, it does not pay off repair costs at all, you have to grind low tier for sl or buy sl with cash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodo_Dud 5,074 Report post Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Use wagers. Some are pretty easy to do. It boils down to ~ 50.000 SL per match. Edited September 22, 2018 by Dodo_Dud 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smfc_1984 126 Report post Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) you cannot do anything in this game, efficient, if you do not have all day to play, if you are new , if you are not premium user. I mean I play premium tanks on premium acc, at my +-45% win rate I would uninstall game completely if not premium sl rp bonus, just saying, get real, get a job ( it's not hard, I have 2 jobs constantly) and pay for things you like, otherwise suck it up, free stuff sucks, most of the time and it is a clear case of this game From my 20+ of gaming I know only few games that have near to perfect f2p model, League of Legends, Dota 2, Path of Exile hmm and that's all I cannot name more games that are free and you will not feel gimped by not paying ( you still need stash tabs in path of exile if you want to be competitive and trade for decent gear but other than that ) Edited September 22, 2018 by smfc_1984 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was last year. I had lots of fun grinding most of my tanks from tier 3 up to tier 6 included. It was just a little slower than with premium but not impossible. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTommi 55 Report post Posted September 23, 2018 Stick to the lower tiers where ammo and repair costs are lower than tier IV and upwards. Take tanks or planes that you like and you know how to handle. Play to win, play the objective to collect winning bonus (fight for control of cap zones in tank battles, go for ground units in air matches). Or play to survive to limit your repair costs. Take spaded vehicles to have an edge over your opponents. I run an american lineup for air at BR 4.0. P-51 D-5 and early P-47s for fighter and fighter/bomber role. P-61 for ground attack too and the turret is good for another kill or two. Add B25, PBJ or SB2C and you get a lineup suited for most situations. Front line and ground strike works, airfield domination if you take your fighters without payload. I dare say I win 7 out of 10 matches with this lineup if I set myself to play the objective. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostSoph@psn 2,213 Report post Posted October 23, 2018 I am under the impression that the best way to win SL is using BOMBERS effectively...i.e. make it to the base and bomb it...rinse repeat...if your team wins i think it may be a good paycheck... (I rarely do it these days bcs it is not much fun...but used to) I dont get the "wagers" tip up there...i have a few of these and they dont look so easy...and i am not sure how i can get more "effectively" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also easy: Best squad. You just need someone else who also has one and also wants half a million quickly. Stay close together and kill players. If possible, stay close to spawn. Repeat 10 times. If you can get 5 kills in a match, the "Kill 5 units wager is for you. 30k SL per game. And who knows, maybe you discover that 10 units are no problem either once you go berserk.... The others are more ambitious and stressful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostSoph@psn 2,213 Report post Posted October 23, 2018 Well..."doable" isn't same as "easy" (and I don't have a squdron) Anyhow...wagers are rare right? So you cant really really on them for SL regular income...can you¿? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krise_madsen 442 Report post Posted October 23, 2018 Sine the question is how to grind SL, not RP: Turn off auto repair. Play multiple nations. Whenever you're not playing a nation, make sure that lineup is filled with damaged vehicles (they repair faster, for free). Even if they're not fully repaired when you want to play them again the repair costs will be less. Also fill your lineup with damaged vehicles before logging off; they still repair faster. A penny saved is a penny earned. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bombs are not that expensive, the problem is the T1 multiplier for your bomber. You are at 30% income. Add to this the low value of bases in the low tier matches. That combination drives you into the red. If you have a sturdy finger or scottish ancestory, you could just use the free and huge bomb load of 52x 50kg. Clicks away!

Yes...some bombers have a nice FREE initial loadout...i think i used some of these for early SL farming...but YES...make sure the big number you get from bombing isnt smaller than what you pay for the bombs And i mapped a key to drop all bombs "at once"...not sure which, but i press and hold and bombs drop very quickly...no need for keyboard mashing and they all fall into the target at first drop... Dont recall the exact key name...but if i can use it in PS4 then all can Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
