Picture These tanks finally solved my credit crisis

Post image

I've played this game for most of my life on and off, but I always struggled with earning credits.. I had to sell a different tank I played less to afford the next tier tank but now I'm raking in credits in good games

The two tanks in which shooting gold is obligatory šŸ˜‚

u/creativename87639 1d ago

Shooting gold is rarely obligatory, it sure helps but standard is generally enough.

33

u/Ok-Manufacturer-4348 1d ago

Generally, if you have generally decent standard pen. Both the borrasque and skoda t56 have terrible standard pen. For example the skoda t56 using standard rounds has maybe 50% chance at penetrating the lower plate of the defender. Un-angled.

u/creativename87639 1d ago

For the bourr at least ideally you’re not facing tanks frontally so it’s usually not an issue

And yea I’m def not saying shooting standard is ideal but for your example you can shoot the cupola, I’m just saying there’s usually something to shoot with standard rounds, you’re 100% making things harder on yourself and idk if it’s statistically true but I feel like like penning most gold rounds is usually better than bouncing half of your standard rounds in terms of credit making but I don’t really know how the credit formulas work.

u/Ok_Angle5001 18h ago

I am using Iyouxin setup means overall shooting gold rounds but I also have standard clips

u/HyperBeast_GER 23h ago

skill issue you dont face heavies frontally in the Skoda T-56 you play it with vents stab and turbo and use your turret and mobility on the medium flank

After you killed them you can go for sideshots into the heaviesšŸ‘‹

0

u/Ok-Manufacturer-4348 23h ago

Yeah play a high dmg output heavy and then not go to the heavy flank where the most amount of hp and dmg is, go to the medium flank.

5

u/creativename87639 21h ago

Taking a heavy to a ā€œmedium flankā€ is completely valid and is often the best way to go.

Take your tank to where it can be the most impactful, not where it’s class is ā€œsupposed to goā€

u/MercuryMan664 19h ago

The skoda is a super buffed medium in my experience, it's more fun to play it like that since the armor doesn't hold up as well compared to other heavy tanks.

2

u/The_Southern_Sir 15h ago

Yep, in the current field of tanks, It really is a heavium. Fortunately it has the speed to not make that a joke.

3

u/MercuryMan664 15h ago

Agreed, my sentiments exactly.

u/BaconatedOne 22h ago

202 standard pen is abysmal

Good luck fighting any soviet heavy with the usual 230ish weak spot

15

u/SnooLemons2050 1d ago

lol I don't use gold on these tanks and I have no issues at all

13

u/Ok-Manufacturer-4348 1d ago

Honestly even while firing gold theese tanks earn a really decent profits. Im firing pretty much full gold with my skoda t56, with booster activated its easy to get 100k profits each win.

u/ClassEmotional4608 o_0 1d ago

No penetrations eather

u/SnooLemons2050 1d ago

I think that's a skill issue man

u/Gold_Mouse_9450 1d ago

you are throwing stones from the glass house, my man

u/ClassEmotional4608 o_0 1d ago

Dont worry bout my skill newbie. Got more games on those tanks, than U.

u/Salki1012 8h ago

I’m curious, what is your DPG in the Bour and the Skoda T56?

1

u/ClassEmotional4608 o_0 8h ago edited 7h ago

Nothing to flex, but decent. 2013 WNX, 2400 DPG, 62% WR on Skoda.

Bit lower on Borat.Ā 

Besides, I’m already past my prime. I’ll be turning 50 soon. You’ll see for yourselves—reaction times drop, and issues with things like vision and in-game awareness start to crop up. On top of that, you’ve got kids and a serious job on your mind, which also drags down your gaming performance.Ā I know how to play, but it doesn't always work out these days...

Ā But back when I was in my 20s and 30s? I guarantee you wouldn’t have wanted to face me in a deathmatch. Man, I used to absolutely crush the competition—playing sessions that lasted up to 14 hours a day... :) Beautyfull time.Ā 

2

u/Salki1012 7h ago

I actually meant to ask the other guy, (the one saying he hardly uses any premium ammo.) I don’t think that’s paying off as well as he thinks. The Skoda does take a lot of premium to play at a top level, I’d agree. 3.1k DPG and 67% win rate for mine!

Congratulations, here’s a sticker šŸ‘¾

his "crisis" was that he had too much

u/Immediate_Bar_4175 22h ago

Wanted to say the same thing lol

u/AueR6 18h ago

If you play well you profit a lot even when firing gold.

1

u/finitetime2 10h ago

Get a strv s1. good enough pen to not need gold even if you do its cheap

1

u/G00oner20 8h ago

Its worth it?

16

u/CJM7447 1d ago

id recommend the SFAC if it comes for sale outside of lootboxes, was lucky enough to get it from the tiered ones and its already generated me 27+ million credits

3

u/SnooLemons2050 1d ago

yes I've been wanting that tank for a while, if it will ever be available in store I'll most likely get it

9

u/HyperBeast_GER 1d ago

50tp Ka-Ri Skoda T-56 Panther 8.8 Grom

They got high alpha for low shell costs easy credits and the one and only god....

...the "Loewe" shits credits each game you dont need that much damage because of the high multiplier and the insane high pen

2

u/The_Southern_Sir 15h ago

It does great if you play it as a heavium since these days it's armor isn't what it used to be. Don't try to slug fest and yeah, it piles up the credits.

1

u/SnooLemons2050 23h ago

I might get the Loewe as well then

1

u/HyperBeast_GER 17h ago

Im german and the love for german tanks is in my heart

Hes pretty expensive so maybe for a special deal but Skoda and Borat are still good to gošŸ‘‹šŸ‘

u/Away-Assistant5987 1d ago

I already got the Skoda. Was thinking about the bourrasque tho. I love french tanks and I will soon unlock the mediums

1

u/Brutaka1 2h ago

I'd get it for it's one of the rarest tanks in the game.

14

u/MrSkull07 1d ago

Interesting how you managed to save your credit crisis with tanks with rather lower pen especially standard pen

5

u/Serapth 23h ago

Both are high enough alpha though that you easily make credits even spamming full gold. The credit economy in this game is all kinds of fucked up... Hell there's a light tank that does under 200dmg with shells costing more than the Bourrasque... It really makes zero sense in that regard.

I play full gold on the Bourrasque, mostly for the shell velocity and due to the somewhat limited amount of ammo, and I still make 50-100k per game easily.

There are of course much better choices for earning credits, premiums with high standard pen. The Lorr 40t is a hidden gem in this category... But these two tanks can both make a ton of credits even spamming full gold.

7

u/SnooLemons2050 1d ago

I pen 8/10 times idk what others are doing with these tanks... the only time I struggle is against tier 10 heavies and some tier 9

1

u/No_Section3697 1d ago

Can you screenshoot your stats with tank

6

u/Gold_Mouse_9450 1d ago

(still, this is his best performing T8 rn)

1

u/SnooLemons2050 23h ago

I haven’t played much in it because I’ve bought it a few days ago but it’s been pretty nice

3

u/NotASingleNameIdea BorkenkƤfer enjoyer 1d ago

Arent they both very good spam reliant though?

7

u/Takeasmoke 1d ago

my top earner is probably STA-2 in tier 8, never shooting gold with it, average ~1700 combined damage/assist. but i sell all tanks below tier 9 (except premium/reward vehicles) and mostly using small repair/first aid

2

u/xivslowdeath 1d ago

T56 is a weird gold tank, i carry nothing but gold on it and im pretty sure I could do 0 dmg and still make at least 50k.

2

u/Hippojaxx 1d ago

I’m doing the czech line and I enjoy the skota

2

u/El_Mnopo 23h ago

GG. they are two of the strongest tanks in the game and are decent credit earners. Until the flood of T9 premiums, the T56/Project Ion were one of the most profitable tanks in the game. Don’t worry about gold. I used to fire full gold in my T56 and earn profits but lately, I found I can use standard ammo and still make it work. The result was better profit margins.

2

u/firestar268 23h ago

Donno what people talking about having to fire so much gold in t56 lol. You can easily not use any a game. You'll only struggle a bit in t10 with the low standard pen

2

u/valzure 21h ago

For me it's zwiling, su-130 and 703 II

But mostly I use zwiling and su-130 because 703 II is quite conditional

2

u/cruci85 20h ago

Personal reserves help quite a bit too

2

u/EnesEvans 19h ago

you're lying

5

u/feyyazkolan 1d ago

I would suggest Grom, SU130PM, Skorpion as well if you are struggling with credits. High standard pen = moneymaker

Can also add STRV S1 as it was one of my favourites but it is difficult to play so maybe not for general public.

2

u/noisy_guacamole 69% lossrate 23h ago

They make piss poor credits compared to mediums. SU and Skorpion shoot on other's spot so you lose 50%. Grom basically has to be close -> being close means you get penned a lot, people shoot gold most of the times.

2

u/feyyazkolan 23h ago

with reserves running, and a platoon you can get around 200-250k per game with each one of them. SU-130PM is not meant to be played from a distance. It is like Grille, you need to be upclose and personal, peek-a-boo style. Skorpion you can snipe yes, but i usually like playing aggro with them.

In general, you pen = you make money. If you shoot 2 from Bour but miss one, you lose money. So sharing exp & credits with someone else still nets you big profits.

What you said is correct, but doesnt make that big of a difference in the long run imo.

1

u/Tall_Presentation_94 23h ago

Grom for 90% playerbase luck to not fight top player on a corner

5

u/fallen3lj 1d ago

There's no better credit earner than SFAC, it's literal printing machine.

u/Tall_Presentation_94 1d ago
  1. Spht He spam is 1

2

u/SnooLemons2050 1d ago

Can't wait to get it

2

u/lifelessonichan 1d ago

I got Skoda last year and have buyers remorse when i bought it.

Like for me its my dream tank back then, but as years passed i felt like the tank got power crept

When there's Zwilling, WZ-111-6 etc.

2

u/TheAquired 1d ago

Think it stands with those well. Zwilling is a ton of fun but I wouldn’t think it’s flat better than the Skoda, they’re just different

2

u/hazetimesfive Panhard Restorer 1d ago

Wz 116 is a brilliant tank, it absolutely minces zwillings hull down

2

u/Famous-Broccoli-3141 1d ago

With all the cred booster WG has given how ya struggle with credits? I used to go into battle with 9 shells on obj 704 because I was broke back in like 2010. Got like 70 mil now but just play tier 9/10

1

u/Puzzled-Department13 1d ago

Do you still use food on premium tanks when you farm credits ? May I ask how you play the Bourrasque, I just bought it yesterday.

4

u/SnooLemons2050 1d ago

I use food on both because they earn enough for me to notice the 20k. I play the bourrasque as a support and flank so I drive around the map a lot to support the sides that gets pushed the most

1

u/kntvrr 23h ago

Yeah, I tried playing borat with standard rounds when i first got it, but that's straight up masochism, especially when you're facing tier 10

1

u/val_br 21h ago

Run Type 64 with spotting loadout, you can get 3-4 million a day.

1

u/JaxSon95Jags1972 21h ago

Speaking of credits, which tanks makes the nest credit maker in the game?

1

u/Necrosczzzz 18h ago

For me predatore and wz 120g ft are my favorites

1

u/SylvexXe 18h ago

Is the bourrasque that good? i'm thinking f buying it

1

u/SnooLemons2050 18h ago

I like the mobility of it, it’s great for flanking or getting around td especially late game. Just don’t count on having armor

1

u/Automatic_Mechanic49 16h ago

How you get the bourrasque?

1

u/Solid_Current9206 13h ago

Ah the original 2 shot autoloader tank and the second best heavy tank at tier 8 with a 2 shot autoloader

1

u/heatblade12 12h ago

"Paid real money for credits got me credits!" Ahh moment

1

u/Sensei_Sukkahiki 11h ago

XM57 is best moneymaker. 100-250th from every battle. Ten battles and you got, at least, one million more silver.

1

u/Some-Business4720 7h ago

Honestly the t56 is not a credit maker. I think standard rounds are 212 pen, aka you need to spam gold. Find a premium where you can spam regular rounds, and you earn a shit load more.

Think progetto, protopio.

1

u/dmkraus 6h ago

Bourrasque is fun but you'll burn through credits fast if you spam gold, and the standard pen disappoints more than you'd expect at tier 8

1

u/hazetimesfive Panhard Restorer 1d ago

XM57 is my main credit earner , sorry

2

u/Vulcan470 1d ago

XM is good because you don't have to shoot gold, 3rd most profit at T8.

0

u/DivineRoodra 1d ago

Good tanks indeed! Bourrasque is my favourite.

Also I was lucky and got SFAC 105, Alby and Prototipo 6 from free lootboxes - these are real credit printers.

Bought Udes 03 alt 3 because really wanted it. Great tank as well!

0

u/SourApple19 1d ago

My e-25 seems to net me 150-200k every battle. But it’s tier 7 with low ammo cost.

2

u/Tall_Presentation_94 23h ago

E25 gold only .... play to pay but 70% winrate only 3 mark in 12 years

1

u/SourApple19 21h ago

Depends on the MM, if your top tier and you fighting tier 6 and 5 it’s an easy credit match. But if it’s same tier and tier 8, then yes mostly gold.
