I'm a disabled person so i have little income, the way the game plays i lose credits every match. I have a tiger and the cr. spent in repair and rearm is more then i recieve. i have to play tier 1 tanks to make something. I can't buy credits like most. so I'm being forced to quit playing. How many others have this problem? if enough players say something they might adjust this.

Tiers 1-6 don't lose credits unless you are really bad.

Tiers 1-5 shouldn't lose any credits even if you are really bad.

Your profile shows you have a Type 59.  Use it.

Sorry, but they won't. It's by deliberate design. The increasing cost of operating high tier tanks forces players to find some way to support them. The sweet spot for credit earning is usually tier 5. Try and get yourself a tier 5 tank and run that to make money. I made pretty good money in a Panzer IV. I make much better money in my Hummel, though ammo gets expensive I usually earn far more than I spend. The best normal tank I've encountered is the KV.

You have low income and yet you had the spare change to buy a T59...  either, somebody needs to get his priorities right, or somebody's trying to milk the sympathy cow.

From your stats, you're just a bad player who can't make money because he can't win games or do much in combat.

If you are playing a tier 5 and you are losing money, you are the problem, there is no other way to say it.

I'm doing fine with a standard account and 1 premium tank. If you have a 59, you shouldn't be doing too bad either. It might be a bit slow grinding for credits but it's still possible.

Man suffering the same problem just got my IS4 and it's still on stock, so I'm spending more on repairs that what I win. So what I do every time I loss to IS4 and even not Im covering the credit thru KV,tire 3 artillery and sometimes IS3. KV is a good credit maker damn I buy my IS4 using the old man(KV). Well it only takes real effort, dont quit enjoy the game thats the idea if you loss on 1 tank use your other tank.

To the OP, you have an extremely low hit ratio (36%) for someone with little/no arty, which means you miss two out of every three shots you take. Inflicting damage with your shots is the primary way to earn credits and exp in battles, and the fact that you miss so often with shells that cost an increasing amount of money as you move up the tiers is your primary problem. You should at least be hitting 50% of your shots, and most good players hit 75% with non-arty tanks. Make sure your T59 has 100% crew, at least the gunner, and start focusing on better aim and shot-taking tactics. Perhaps play more TD's which are expected to sit back a bit more and make each shot count.

Good luck.

Being disabled? It seems like on the internet, everybody has a PhD, a disability, or a special ability... My guess is that people are milking the sympathy cow.

today i was in my su-85, i drove forward to try and get into a defence position, and a light tank came swooning by, spotted me, and arty took me out, i detected nobody. i didnt fire a shot, inf act i didnt do anything but drive forward for a little while and then die.


i still made a 2k profit that match.

actually, you would be surprised on how many ppl that are on are actually disabled..  and the internet is one of their few ways of communicating or making a difference..  i have relatives of my own who are usually always on the net because they are unable to function outside of their homes..  so while their are trolls that claim disability..  until proven otherwise, don't assume they aren't..  it does more damage than good.

[Vonholtz]

Wow I have a tiger and out about 170 battles I can count maybe 10 to 12 battles I lost money on it. Hell I can not get wins at all in my IS and still not loseing money with it. I do not put much more then $15 bucks ever 3 months mostly to keep my crews at 100%, I dont even have a type 59 to grind money I have to use a bunch of tier 5s to make my money. Wished I could take your Type 59 if your quiting but no such luck there. Good luck

Yes but I'm the only one who gets the monopoly on mentally disturbed...well...maybe not.

[Damonvile]

Disabled or not the game shouldn't be balanced around people who play terrible. If you can't make money with a type 59 or in a tier 7 tank then the game just isn't for you.

Being disabled doesn't mean they should get special privileges in any case, you can't just go into a place and say "i'm disabled show me sympathy".

I played T-54 about 9 months ago, before the new income. Without prem, I often came out even or ahead. Overall, only a slight loss. And that was with the upgraded gun.

Play better, or farm your other tanks for credits.

[V_P_V]

Wow......
OP trolling..
