    NO, you will go bankrupt. Thank you, QB for keeping it honest. Even at your skill level and having a near perfect game, made you some credits. Now for the average player, it is terrible. Just another scheme by wargaming to sell more premiums that you must play in order to support tier 10 play.

      That is their plan, why they implemented tier 8 "money making" premiums. You lose credits in tier 10, then play lower tier to grind credits, want to make more credits, buy a tier 8 premium to afford your tier 10s.🎉😮😅

      I did a new damage record in a Grille 15, 6025 damage or something like that. No kills, no premium account, no credit boosters, I fired 8 AP shells and penned all 8. I made something like 6076 credits, barely more credits than the damage I did. In a usual game I lose credits... It's tier 10 economy. WG wants you to play tier 10 but to pay for boosters and premium time and premium tanks to make credits so you can play your tier 10s and spam gold.
      It's Business.

      F2P players have to grind hard to unlock their first tier 8 premium from the bond store and then grind hard with that free premium. Some of those free premiums are decent, but they're still punching bags for paying players in their Borats and BZ-176s. It's much easier to just open your wallet when the Borat goes on sale and at least you're on a level playing field. The game is not F2P friendly unless you're happy at tier 6.

      It would be way more fun and useful if losing credits at Tier 10 was almost impossible.
      For example: At Tier 10, multiply credit punishments by 0.2 and multiply credit gains by 0.6
      Normal calculations: 100.000 credits gained from damage dealt etc, 100.000 credits lost due to repairs etc -> 0 credits gained
      New calculations: 60.000 credits gained from damage dealt etc, 20.000 credits lost due to repairs etc -> 40.000 credits gained
      You make way less credits, but you also get punished way less for taking damage etc. This way the premium tanks can stay how they are and make you tons of profit at Tier 10. Now the players are happy because they make more profit and Wargaming is happy because they can sell many Tier 10 premium tanks to people who want to make big profits.

    Since i play F2P and very casually, i agree with you QB, it is a „skill issue“ in some way, if you are good, aim good and hit most of your shots, its fairly easy to at least get the credits back you used for your shells etc, since im favourably using the 60TP, i do have some premium shells, (20 standard, 5 premium, and 5 High Explosive shells.)
    I can sometimes feel myself struggling when i come up against the reward tanks, BUT it all takes for me to be fairly successful against them by pressing the 2 key, hitting one or 2 shots and then switching back to AP.
    Conclusion:
    F2P in WoT requires a fair amount of skill, alongside a fair amount of credits.

Not crazy but decent imo. I fire gold only at heavy vehicles, like E100, Mouse, Vk, type 5 Heavy, where normal shells would be useless. I use only small kits, and no prem food.

If we play premium tier 8 tanks even without premium account it will be possible to keep the income balance in the "green".

    Thanks QB for kicking my butt and killing me in this frustrating game where my team didn't wanted to win a side :p
    I'm F2P player since the beginning (more than 10 years) and I've no problem playing tier 10. I don't use premium consummables apart the automatic fire extinguisher at tier 10 but I've a big reserve of them by missions. I shot gold only when it's needed. I've some premium tanks, some bought long time ago (Super Pershing, Mutz, Centurion 5/1 and Fury) others I had for free (ShPtk, Obsidian, IS-2S, Panther M10 via CW, lots of tier 6 by drops). My favorite tier is 9 but I play tier 6 to 10. Results : I'm pretty close to have unlocked every tech tree tanks and 80M credits in reserve so I'm able to play everything I want when I want. I'm also helped by being in a clan who runs lots of boosters. Anyway, I think I loose credits one game every 5 at tier 9, 2 on 5 at tier 10. Playing tier 10 F2P is possible but it requires to have a decent level to get good games and not playing tier 10 only. If you have one or two premiums you really like is perfect to help you doing credits if you really need. It's possible but you need to know you will not be the best in tanks stats so you have to compensate by being accurate, knowing weakspots, able to anticipate situations or by your minimap reading. It's sometimes hard but so satisfaying when you are able to have great games.

    Hi Quicky, been F2P since the start of my account. Not a single euro spend, but managed to scrap together some premiums from the bondstore/ trade ins with gold from the free christmas chest. I think you can do T10 F2P, but you'll need to pick your tanks big time. Full gold tanks are a no go and prem consumables won't do either. Mostly need to run 2-3 T8 battles for each 0-15 steamroll at t10 in which you lose a lot.

      Nah, I would say the cheapest tier X tanks to play are mediums with high standard pen like the Leo, or medium tanks in general actually, because with the playstyle of most mediums you don't really face heavy tanks from the front, and that's where you need the gold. And JgPz E100 and T110E3 are tanks which do go to the heavy flank of the map, which means it is more likely for you to need to shoot gold. And playing JgPzE100 without gold is kinda wasted potential, because it has the highest gold pen in the game.

    some of us (I hope there are other people) like to play low tier, but not only the easieness or the better credit income, but for the tanks too. The history of those tanks are so impactful in my case that I far rather play a Valentine or a StuG than these fictional t10 tank, yet having a blast while also getting battlepass points from T4.

    Wait, I have been grinding for years to hit T10 and play in a Maus, a Leopard 1, and many other tanks. I can't ? .... The game is not for me ? So I farm for years bad tanks and end up getting smashed on every tier, just to learn when I am near the top that a pay wall is stopping me from playing further ?
    No... I am really bummed... I wanted to play in a Maus, and a Grille 15... It seems so fun...
    Well I am sad, don't know if I will continue the game.

    I think that standard ammo should be free, you should not have to repair your tank unless you die, and small repair/med kit and fire extinguisher should be free. That would help the free to play people just enough. Wouldn't make a huge difference but it would be enough to NOT go negative every battle

  • @generalknez3942
    @generalknez3942 3 місяці тому

    I believe t 10 is in a good spot. You most certainly can play em. I even spam gold only from time to time (switch to 2 key for the entire game) as well as using food (for my Chadpanzer E 100, 82% moe rn, just aiming for 85% because marking is toxic for your mental health)
    The dynamic is kinda boring though as i'll have to farm up with my premium vehicles for an entire day once more.
    The simple key to a stable t10 gameplay is bond store. Get 1 prem tank, then get another. Make sure at least one has a reliable standard ammo (like my T 103, love it) because that means profit. Furthermore, i have stocked up on some credit boosters, 80, and use them whenever i get a free prem acc which is easy to get nowadays (missions for T55A for example, TD and SPG missions are the easiest thing ever). To get the most out of a prem acc, make sure you only get 1 day prem acc from missions (avoid the honors for missions) because if you stretch it, 4-6 hours before servers restart time is enough for 5 x3 boosts to be applied and then tomorrow you can apply them again, which means 1 day of prem is 10 x3 exp bonuses.
    My 2 bond tanks are T 103 and T-34-3, both tanks are goated and work very well for me at least. Also, both can overmatch very well and hit noticeably, meaning even gold ammo isnt so bad to use when in a pinch. I plan on getting a 3rd bond tank now, got 7k bonds already. Thinking between Patriot and 252 U because a heavy tank can afford to get more involved into action if you know what i mean. 252 U can go in while Patriot is just too comfy to play because of hulldown, gun depression, fast reload and dirt cheap standard ammo so i'll have to decide on that.

    I can confidently say that Tier 8 is the last tier where the average (around 50% winrate) free-to-play player will break even or profit when they win. If you had a good game and win, you will have a decent profit. If you had a good game and lose, you might break even, depending on how good of a game you had. At Tier 9 you have to start playing well every match to at least break even, but getting a profit at this tier is very hard for the average player.

      @kevinderoo3880 3 місяці тому

      ​@@henkgeenreetaan1374 If you care about penning all of your gold shots and actually being impactful in a match, sure you will almost always profit a little at Tier 8. But remember that the average player does not care enough or does not have the game sense to know when and how to use gold. They might shoot it randomly when they feel like it's needed and miss/bounce half of their shots. That loses you a lot of credits, even when you win.
      I remember playing a Tier 8 game recently and doing like 3k damage. I also shot at least 10 gold rounds of which I probably missed about half. I lost like 50k credits even though we won the battle. With a premium account that probably would have been a profit of 50k, if not even more than that.

    I'm 95% f2p, (I've bought a couple of tanks here and there over the years) and I've always thought of tier 10 as being the tier that you "get" to play as a reward for your grind. Like a vacation almost, you pay a ton of money but hopefully you have some fun. Then you go back to tier 8 and actually make some money to be able to afford to do it again

    @llwellyncuhfwarthen 3 місяці тому

    Consistently sustainable free to play tier vehicle, I like my 9's and my 7's which I will reasonably make credits in. (No boosters etc etc) - the reason for the 7's is that you can only up tier to 9's and a tier 8 (which you will often see) still has more than enough soft spots for you to pen and get good damage on, doing damage on upper tier vehicles grants you more exp and reward value. When I am playing in tier 9's or 10's more often than not I am forced to go into stupid sniper coward garbage stat padder style of play because the teams and players are now all tending to do that style, instead of using their armor, or their mobility or their view range (QB's video from a few days ago here commenting about the super sniper mediums that pretty well condemned his team to losing because of their cowardice and ineptitude)

  • @TotalRookie_LV
    @TotalRookie_LV 3 місяці тому

    Up to tier 6 it's all fine, then around tier 7 issues with making money start and continue all the way to tier 9, however when I reach tier 10, I play it anyway for most of the time. Yes, earnings are meagre, but I play arties, thus it's mostly a complete loss of vehicle or survival without much repairs (usually, but I play risky, thus coming under fire isn't uncommon either), and it also impacts spending on rounds - gold isn't much needed on arties. The rest of the "trick" is helping your team to win as a support class.
    P.S. Besides, it's all about fun, and I REALLY hate game play on heavy tanks! I don't care, how "meta" they are currently, I don't like them, thus I seldom ever play them (unlike the very beginnings, when I started by going up to some German heavies). Mediums are jacks of all trades, they feel fine. TDs... they are specialised and don't really fit me most of the time. Light may feel nice, but I'm afraid to fail team by not being a good spotter. Heavies are just awful given their slow speed, besides it feels unfair being rewarded for stupidity of opponents - when they simply fail to penetrate you. And no, complaining about lack of speed while playing arties is not an oxymoron or an irony, I just pick fast ones with mobility high enough to quickly switch flanks or run around whole map.
    Noticeable exceptions are KV-2 and KV-5, while they are still heavies, they are meant for fun.

    Let me say this. I'm a free 2 play player and I was an arty player. I recently sold most of my tier 9&10 arty because they aren't fun anymore. I spent the credits buying tanks on the lines I like, like the top American TD's and some of the Objects (am I the only person that spells it?). By the time a free to play player has the resources to grind a line to tier 10...it gets nerfed before it's obtained. Especially if you suck like me. So now I have one tier 10 arty, a T110E3, and an Obj. 430U. I also have about 50 empty garage slots.

    QB, just be aware of the fact that the replays site is not working correctly. I'd urge you to take an actual screenshot of the battle results, as at this time you're talking bollocks.
    The amount of credits you gain on a Standard account is not the same as the one from the Premium one. The "Received" already includes the 50% extra.
    So what you're actually looking at is the following:
    Received: 38.302
    Repair: - 20.738
    Resupply: - 19.470
    Consumables: - 3.000
    Total: - 4.906
    So while you loose every time money, that's why you need premium tanks and/or premium account in order to get to enjoy playing at tier X.

    @robinkhn2547 3 місяці тому

    Your calculation o the net profit regarding NO premium account is wrong, because the displayed number is wrong (it is the same as with premium account). The gross earned credits are actually 57453/1.5 = 38302. Ignoring the mission payout and subtracting repairs, ammo and consumables you actually end up losing credits (net result is -4904 credits). This just shows how fcked up the economy is at tier X without a premium account. You can have an exceptional round and still lose credits. It is ridiculous. So basically in order to make credits at tier X you gotta make sure that you win the battle AND survive with very little or no damage received.
    And god forbid you fire any gold rounds, in that case playing tier X is like playing an anti-premium tank with regard to credit income.

  • @franbenac4441
    @franbenac4441 2 місяці тому

    For me playing T10 is a mixed bag. Some of my T10 tanks like the Amx M4 54 can turn me a profit in most games even at my skill level. But I found that it really depends on how you spec your tank. The moment you put a premium consumable on you NEED to have amazing games in order to earn money. I run food on my Progetto 65 and if I don't do 4k+ damage a game I will lose money for sure.

    With premium account and specific tier IX tanks that do not need premium ammo or have free repair kits, I can manage to play those and not lose money most of the time. That even without getting all discounts for resuppling consumables and running food. This includes credits you get back. If I am not wrong, 2.5K damage and 1K assist is there about breaking even. I mean, your worst game shouldn't go under it. Then good games will give you some room. You definitely do not want 5 minute games where your team is over ruined and you have done under 2K damage because then you need lot of good games to compensate and with way games go nowadays that's not easy for someone who is not super unicum.
    On the other hand, tier IX tanks that have weak ammo just become total money sinks. Sane goes for the tank's that has unreliable guns. Big RNG variations just cost credits and are there to milk the money and regulate the economy in the game.

    I used to play the game from 2013-2016 and got quite a few tier 8 and 9 tanks by playing mostly f2p and had a decent wn8. Anyways, just by chance I picked the game backup a month ago with a friend who is basically new to the game. And it very quickly occured to me that the new player experience is pretty terrible. My friend got some free tier 5s and tier7s to play with but since there's no skill based match making he would struggle a lot in matches and pretty much just drove around and died. Playing tier 1s is arguably worse since the queue times would be almost 10mins for 1 game due to the low amount of new players. (And tier 1 vehicals are just not enjoyable to play to begin with) needless to say we stopped playing after a week or two. WoT certainly seems far from what it was in its glory days and it has become more and more pay to win. Although it might still be somewhat enjoyable for long time players, there is just no incentive for new players to pick up the game... It is very sad considering this used to be one of my favorite games to play.
