I'm kinda confused how you can go bankrupt playing tiers 6 and below.  Understand that you need to buy need modules and tanks and stuff if you're just starting, but these tiers make money.

[Aoyama_Blue_Mountain]

Premium consumables, gold rounds.

 

Rough guide: Tier 5 earnings for a new player without firing any gold round is around 5k per game. Meaning if you fire just a single gold round, that's all your profit flying away.

[Ezz]

Aren't gold round cheaper down there tho? Sammich, you'd know...

[_Sammich_]

Hmm...lesse, mostly around 2800 silver per round at tier 5 for Gold rounds

 

Amazingly, I still manage to make a sizable profit.

talking about bankrupt, anyone have a good guess of when the next 50%-OFF discount of consumables is gonna happen? I couldnt check the portal page during the time I was taking holidays from the game, so i missed all the previous discounts during almost the whole 2021. Since i returned to the game 1-2 months ago, i have been using full priced chocolate and full priced rations. I hope someone can tell me aproximately when the next consumable discount will probably happen, so i can prepare and check the portal page every week or so for information. Thanks in advance. Good day.

Well, the lunar new year event starts 31/1, and it says ingame discounts so I'd keep an eye out for that. (of course it doesn't mean it will be consumables, but LNY is one of the larger events so it has a better chance of it imo.)

Idk, just don’t spend your creds or XP on anything and play with the tank your good with. I think one time my creds got to 0 and now I have 11 million creds even if I am new here  since I don’t spend often. 
 

Another time is when I clicked to buy a training booklet and my creds got down to 48,000, but I had WOT premium at that time and I was able to rebound in a few days.

Has to be help within the game rules though...

[CardinalMite]

Or better still help that does not advocate deliberately screwing over your own team for your own selfish needs, regardless of whether it is within the rules or not.

To be honest, going bankrupt is almost impossible unless you're committing the biggest sin; rushing up a tech tree line without regard. 

 

I've done this before when I was a new player; rushed up the then IS-7 line and once I unlocked the IS-8, I quickly bought it and found myself with a whopping 10k credits. Of course, that was the extreme scenario but hey, I was a new player and all I cared about was getting that shiny Tier 9 tank and pressing the W key with it to scare off those Tier 7 IS and Tigers (it was 2013 so yeah). 

 

Unless you're doing the above, there is no reason for a new player to be losing so much credits to the point of being on the verge of bankruptcy. It is harder to lose credits than to earn credits... unless of course you are spamming premium ammo. So, there are two tips... I guess.

 

1) Move up a tech tree slowly. The lower you are in tier level, the better your profit margins, especially for a new player. Not only will you be saving and earning credits, you are giving yourself a reasonable timeframe and environment to familiarise with the game mechanics, server meta, and basic competencies such as aiming (if you can hit with derpy tier 5 guns, you will fare better with higher tier guns). Also, gold spamming in tier 5/6 is almost unnecessary save for scenarios when you run into a Japanese heavy or British TD (AT-2 and AT-8) in which case, and since it is lower tier, take more risks and learn how to flank. It is better to make mistakes in lower tiers (where you will still earn credits) than in higher tiers (where flanking may be impossible or one mistake can be the different between a respectable 10k profit and disastrous 6k loss - or whatever the value may be).

 

2) Link from the previous point; avoid firing gold/premium ammo and using any premium consumable. They give you an advantage but if you can't even get your game right, those advantages are better off null and void. Still to regular ammo and consumables and you will earn profits. 

 

And bonus tip

 

Do More Damage

If you can't do damage, well, that is why Tip #1 is the first tip. If you can follow Tip #1, you will naturally find yourself doing more damage per game and the more damage you do, the more credits you earn per battle.

 

So in essence, if you can make good investments (damage) and minimise losses (hitting more, losing less hp/not dying and spending less), that is your key to avoiding going bankrupt in this game, and this will hold true for any tier, with higher tiers obviously demanding more and more.

 

Alternatively;

The moon base requires funding and WG appreciates all donations with enticing returns called Premium Tanks and Premium Accounts (sometimes wrapped up in a beautiful bundle for a beautiful person like you) which will solve all economic issues one may face playing this game.

I achieved bankruptcy by upgrading bounty equips, and being too lazy to play lol.

Well, that is a possibility although... new players wouldn't have access to doing such spending spree in the first place

A few battles in Ranked and there's more credits stuck to my tank's armor (in the form of sprem) than in my account lol.

[sonmezroy]

I used to have no premium tank and no premium account and I had to play tier 5 tanks for 9k profit per battle With a Pz 25, that number goes up to 15k per battle. shareit downloading  vidmate 2014
