Can't Make money playing high tier tank battles

[Kaffine]

i have been playing with the M1 Abrams and IPM1 and it seems like even when i do amazing i lose money, even if i wipe the floor with the enemy team and get 7-10 kills but die even once i will lose a bit of money, I guess i will just stick to tier 4 tanks

It really isn't your fault, either. The unlockable APFSDS for both tanks costs 900 SL per shot, and your repair costs are >10k SL. HOWEVER, you get the exact same income (different from profit obviously) for your actions as the Rank III Jumbo. Do you wanna know how much it costs to use that vehicle? 170 SL per shot for the APCR, and 3,369k SL per repair. Literally the only two reasons to use top tier vehicles are for research and for fun. I honestly didn't realize that the economy was THIS broken until 30 minutes ago.

hopefully they will streamline it in update 1.87

yah i love using the Jumbo 75mm, i put that in a lineup with some of the less armored 76mm Shermans and i make crazy money, you would think that they would at least give you more Lions for a kill on a higher tier vehicle but i guess not.

Hopefully they will address it, i have been looking forward to them adding the M1A1 Abrams and it would be nice to be able to play it without going broke lol

well their current RP system will go broke if they made prices any better
if only they allowed SL to be transferred to RP

it'll probably be M1A1HA because they added the T-80U 1990 (with 1250hp engine)

Is that the first Abrams variant that used DU armor/ammo?

Yes, the turret is DU armour.

Both though have DU ammo.

HA just has more of it

Theoretically both should get M829 and M829 DU ammunition.

While the M1A1 uses chobham armour and far as I know, doesn’t have DU armour, while the M1A1(HA) does use DU armour, but on the turret only.

The M1A1, I believe, is literally just the M1IP, with a 120mm, while the M1A1(HA) is kind of like the M1IP is to the M1: hull doesn’t change, but the turret is now THICC.

i wonder if they will actually give it DU ammo though, they didn't give the M1 its real ammo from what people where saying.

well, ammo that literally says: depleted uranium in the specification is pretty memorable, they will wanna put it in-game

Very, very few tanks rank 5-6 have realistic load outs, cause “reasons”.

Realistically speaking, the M1 should have M833 ammunition as well.

M1IP shouldn’t even have the stock ammunition (actually M774 should be stock on both, but that would be like giving the whole tank for free, you can’t give free Abrams? Right?), it should have M833 as well as M900.


This applies with the other nations.


T-64B should have 3BM26, 3BM32, and 3BM42.
The 3BM15 it gets stock frankly is practice ammunition for a 1985 tank (it’s a early 1970s shell).

The T-80B should get there exact same loadout.

T-72A should at least get 3BM26.


Leopard 2A4 gets early ammunition as well.


Type 90 has correct shell, but it’s penetration at 100m is what the shell penetrated at 1000m. At least, before the update — the new calculator update is a joke.


Challenger Mk.2 and Mk.3 should have Jerhico DU ammunition.


Later M60s are not really that realistic. And of course, the M60A3 isn’t even in game.

The T-54s are wack: the 1949 T-54 uses a 1967 APDS round, but not the 1961 HEAT shell. The 1951 has both. Note the year difference.
Of course, there isn’t the T-54A or 54B, which would be more realistic to have these.
Also the 3BK5 is in game, but not the 3BK5M.
Also the T-55A has the 3BM25, but skips the 3BM19 and 3BM20.

I mean, I can keep on going if you like.
