Depleting Silver Lions

[Plethora]

Hi all - a week or so ago I had around 300k SL. However, through joining matches I'm now spending more SL than I'm earning per round and I'm now down to about 50k SL.
Is this how the game gets you to start spending real money? Or is there another way to reverse this trend because I'm soon not going to be able to join battles.

How well do you play? Kills and deaths per match (Aproximate average K/D )

if you are an ab player and that is a guess as the plane is greyed out,
that m19 costs as much as the rest of your line up to use and in ab, it WILL die.

also it drags your lower tanks into a higher br game, makes it harder to kill things.

if you are uptiered, you will be using 3.7 in a br 6 game,
no point turning up for that for most of us unless lucky.

If you want to use the br 4.7 m18 get rid of the m19 out of your line up.

Personally I'd drop the m19 and m18 and use the br 3.7 you have and maybe get the br 4 sherman as well, gives you more change of killing things.

killing things, hitting, getting hit, doing stuff, winning makes SL,
that line up means you start every game at a disadvantage, you are starting to lose even before you have fired a shot.

not your fault, we have all done it.
have fun
burg.

one last thought, those are ab brs so, I personally wouldn't play the m18 or m10 in AB,
as I am not good enough, got to be quick with them
and in AB any advantage they have is gone,
everyone knows where the lightly armoured open topped free kill is hiding.
They WILL die.

That's normal because the economy in this game is pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Easiest way earning SL is get in a premium light tank and spot for your teammates. Nothing more. Sit in a bush and spot. Making around 40-100k each match. I prefer the RU

It's not fked if you fail to pay attention to repair fees of each vehicles and SL Ammo and more importantly Failing to Balance your vehicle Lineup and playing BADLY and continue to do so with zero improvement.

Playing as a German Non-Premuim Player, earning SL is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ easy especially Tier IV. And this Tier is usually where so many German Players who still can't learn from Tier III complain about not earning enough SL.

OP, balance the BR of your Tank Lineup and learn the game slowly so you don't die too much that will earn you Loss instead of Profit from SL. Die less, More Kills/Assist.
Don't spam SL Ammo also.

Sure, blindly accuse Fan Boy when I have $0 Spent in the game and just LEARN how to play in which many people never bother to. Even earning Premium Tanks for Free just from Warbonds (The suffering of Elite Marks like doing 120 Critical Hits or Get kills with SPAA)
This also applies to WoT or WoWarships but people always cry and demand needs or Mainstream because they don't want to actually learn how to play the game.

no point getting upset at him/her,
they can make 40 to 100k sitting in a bush spotting with a ru251 is all you need to know about them.
Least that is what they think..........."think" now that is funny.

No help from them, no advice on how to improve, just rubbish.

spotting will earn you next to nothing and is not worth it except for warbonds and that is their advice....

don't get trolled by them.

ikr, dunno why gaijin and their slaves think that "It's okay to make it grindy and expensive" but, "It's not okay to make it less grindy and cheaper"
you know.....

[The Warden]

did you also notice that not of your tank are expert

[kamikazi21358]

The economy of this game is very grindy at times, but one thing I admit is there are not too many tiers where you’ll not break even. Playing the vehicles with abusive repair costs is the main issue, and maybe with high ammo costs as well too, but otherwise even at high tier, you can consistantly make money on average if you’re not using 17k repair cost vehicles or something.

There were other advices here, my small advice that might help a little (it does add up), is to turn off automatic repair. It is the wrench in the bottom right corner in the menu. Turning off automatic repair means you’ll have to press an extra button every time you enter a battle (“would you like to repair your vehicles for X Sl?”), but it will not only show you precisely how much it is, it will more importantly decrease the cost to repair. In this game, unrepaired vehicles very slowly repair themselves if left out, so if you finish a match, and your vehicles are destroyed and you’re done for the day, essentially ‘leave them out to dry’ in the garage and they will slowly repair themselves (even if the game is off). You’ll wake up in the morning and the vehicles will be repaired / cheaper to repair, because their crews repaired them slowly in the garage.

It saves only a few thousand SL per day this way, more if you play different nations or whatever. But as you can imagine, this really adds up quickly.

You play to unlock stuff. Its always been that way in gaming.

You're telling me it shouldn't be that way? The game should just let you pick vehicles of your choice?

Who will fight what in a balance manner if everyone can just pick their own vehicles just for their advantage? This is why fighting games and MOBA has a bad learning curves than this to the point that its unbalanced. All everyone has to do is just pick the most OP/broken character and just win matches with less skill required.

Here, you can do that too but there are limitations to it. The repair cost and economy is what prevents you from abusing the same vehicle all over again and use something else in compensation for it. You can still use your vehicles of mass destruction but you can't use them every single time and abuse them to your hearts content.

The rank determines the skill level of gameplay, we can't just have a new player and screw everything up. No airline company would let anyone fly an Airbus without any flight experience from a trainer aircraft. This logic applies here.

Honestly, if you're struggling this hard in life like this you should just give up. Complaining won't do you any good. You can stop playing or living altogether if that makes you feel better?

Turn off auto repairs.
Cycle your nations and let your crews do the repairs for free.

Play lower ranks with balanced lineups and/or get better.


M19 is BR 5.0 with a hefty repair bill.
Mixing this with 3.7s is a bad idea.

So return to lower ranks, spade some vehicles and expert your crews and earn some SL and crew skills before playing in higher ranks.

390kRP while normal earning is around 2-3k (w/ prems and always win) is okay? it's like 50yo pilot, piloting a damn crop plane.
question is, instead of 390k RP and 1.1mil SL why not 290kRP and 550kSL ? it's more doable but still not too easy for new players
