See topic.

Have trouble understanding why if I enjoy a tank I am not able to have a round robin going in case I die.

So? that doesn't change the experience you get does it? You still only get one double per day in each tank, and if you spent the money, why not?

Can you imagine someone buying 5 T59s, switching to the next one after one dies? That's millions of Creds, easy.

It would flood the games with the most OP or highest earning tanks. People would just buy them over and over. People wouldnt switch to another tank while waiting for a battle to end. That and you would have scouts rushing to there death game after game as fast as they can.

wouldnt that net you LESS money than playing well for 2 games in a type 59?

If someone did that, that would be pretty stupid :D but maybe they can limit the # of one tank you can buy, and only limiting to one of a single type of premium?

It would allow grinding to be very easy. If there is a tank I dont like I can just buy 5 of them and suicide rush every game, it would speed the grind a lot and wouldnt require much effort on my part.

no not if you scout atleast 2-3 people a match and there would so many type 59`s it wouldnt matter how you played since you can make around 20k a match with out doing anything

To make you try harder to survive.

it's also possible that the way some of their code works doesn't allow it, or something like that

Honestly you shouldnt be able to take any other tank out if you die in battle until its finished.  Whats the difference if its the same tank?

That sound you heard when you hit the Post button was something along the lines of "DING DING DING We have a winner!"

Why shouldnt you be allowed to take a different tank out? No one wants to sit and watch 15 minutes of a fight you died early in.

My guess on why only one tank of a type is because the code has no way to tell your first Tiger from the other three you might have, thus allowing you to run all the doubles and the EXP would pool under the Tiger as a whole allowing you to use doubles to get out of the tank in record time.

..... ok let me point this out to you. for an average game, it takes 5-7 minutes. in order to suicide 5 type 59s, it would take 2:30 seconds simply based on the 30 second wait time, and the time it takes to reach the enemy base. now, you would only get off 1 to 2 shots, and it would take up at least 1 minute to reach and get killed in the enemy base. so thats another 5 minutes easy. so you are up to 7:30 seconds. you would have 5 times the repair cost. please, tell me how much you normally get in a type 59 per game, and what the repair cost is, and how much you got from suiciding in one game. in order to figure out how much more profitable it is, you would have to times the amount the rep cost is by 5, the amount you got from suiciding by 5, and the normal amount of credit income by 2 to account for running 2 games. im doubting it would add up to more....

it would only be ok if the msx was raised only the two max. There would be too many terrible players if the limit was higher.
