You've rushed up the tiers.

 

Why play T-X?

To be top tier every match.

 

 

How will that be for you?

Probably terrible and credit draining, because you lack the experience to play there.

If you don't do consistently good damage in T-X and win (more than 50%) you will watch as your credits disappear like water down a drain every time you play T-X.

 

You now have a T-X.

You have successfully "failed" your way to it.

Kudos!

I watch him now and again.  After playing through the line I understand it's a fantastic hull-down tank with good DPM.  The question was more or less why play Tier 10.  I'm gonna assume it's a money drain, considering how Tier 9 was.

 

Here is how the credits work out by the tiers.

The end game has turned to crapola, collect or don't even buy anymore. 

[FluffyBadBad]

you are now always top tier.

 

you will never have to fight a higher tier tank again.

 

gratz and all that.

 

go club some tier 8 seals and enjoy the spoils.

Well, you can make it your mission in life to hunt down and kill every 268v4 in the game.

There is no point for tier 10 unless using it for CW. That's why I never play (or own) them as they are just credit drains.

Enjoy the game like I have and work your way through the trees.

Tier 10s are much better for completing the campaign missions.  Aim to have one of each flavor if you want the t-55a or the heavy.

If you select accelerated crew training.........I prefer the free XP

 

Rather than have crews get better faster via accelerated training free, you would rather pay real money to unlock 'free' XP?

Not all tier 10s are elite when you unlock them.

Thank you for the data!

 

However, I've seen this before and it doesn't resonate with me.  Or at least, it only applies if you're running a standard account.  I always run a premium account and Tier 8 is the most lucrative tier. Since these charts only show net income, I think they conceal the fact that gross income increases at each tier, so when you add 50% to the Tier 8 gross, then subtract the costs, the net is still huge.  

 

The charts do underscore how hard it is for non-premium players to earn credits, though.

Always top tier, Klown Wartz, Advances... if you like playing it, there's that.
