plmnb 282 Report post Posted July 31, 2019 How do you make money @ f2p account without premium tanks and premium account @ 6-7 era? Currently leopard 2a5 goes for 24k without ammo. I can tell that playing and winning good match will end up in losing silvers. Is that Gaijin current tactic to force players to buy either prem acc or prem tanks to be SELF SUSTAINABLE? magazine2 (Posted July 31, 2019) Moved to F.A.Q and Tutorials.

Thorien_Kell 860 Report post Posted July 31, 2019 You don't. This game is only partially free, which is fine. What I find disturbing is that even with premium account and premium vehicles you are still being kept starved of lions. Game expects you to grind on some stages, ie. play certain setups repeatedly in order to be allowed to play something else, which is a massive oversight in my books. If there was no occasional SL discount (2x per year, 50%) I wouldn't be able to afford half of vehicles I've researched. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoodleCup31 8,824 Report post Posted July 31, 2019 The thing is, the whole repair cost doesn't make sense at top tier. The Leopard has been surpassed by the Abrams in winrate and KD, the ADATS even has 80% winrate and is CHEAPER THAN THE ROLAND, the Tunguska even by 1000 SL 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some nations never seem to have too high rep costs, despite they might have overperforming units, too. Ludricous repair costs are just a tool for certain nations, it seems The ADATs is an abomination. Stopped playing 10.0 because of it. Its an US autowin. Giving the most usefull "SPAA" (tank destroyer fits more) to the nation with the strongest air force just totally killed any game balance. It not even has hullbreak. My poor Roland even fails to take out BMP's and it seems its missiles were nerfed vs. air targets. By now you need two 1000 sl Roland missiles to down a Hind. The Roland is that bad (and costs alot sl + spawn points) that most players just don't spawn it. It has the same spawn cost as MBTs...soo... How much does one ADADs missile cost, btw? The current War Thunder premium policy is acceptable. Gajin needs to earn profits, to keep the servers running. And its no pay2win eiher.

They cannot hullbreak nor even kill a xxxx Zsu 23. Fuse triggers but explodes on the outside and doesn't do damage inside like a HE or HEAT shell. 10 minutes ago, Thodin said: How much does one ADADs missile cost, btw?

eragon96 5 Report post Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) You can also use low tier for saving lions. BR 4.0-6.0 (in air RB) is best way how to "farm" some lions. But when you need EXP its pointless. TU-4 is also a choise but mostly you are on your own. Tanks I cant really help you I am mostly pilot not a tankman.
