There is no such thing as "Free to Play"
Free to Play is right up there with Santa Clause, The Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy.

Let it go.

The term F2P only refers to money, the concept is that we pay with time as content in the form of enemies and enemies you're not allowed to shoot (marked ss blue ingame) for the paying playerbase

Sure there is, most free to play games are just that

Some people don't WANT to play for free, they think that if they pay they will be better but that's the lie, you can't "buy" your way to playing better / getting more wins

Nobody can buy skills, you can buy tanks but premium tanks only are a little better and not enough to make a difference for the most part

I've played plenty of free to play games for free, it's possible. If I do put any money in it's to get another slot to park a tank I grind in and that's it, I wouldn't even need to do that.

I couldn't agree more, I play Honkai Star Rail and it has been a more generous, rewarding and fun game to play

I had about 2 hours into War Thunder before I figured out I wanted a premium account. The low tier premium vehicles were so cheap I didn't worry about the cost. Also I discovered the boosters for 99GE for 10 missions.
What I have never bought are premiums that were vehicles I already had in my tech tree.
However if I was offered a premium for 50% or more off I most likely bought it. I would guess I have more event premiums then premiums I bought.
I can't think of any single premium I bought that has a significantly better K/D Win % then the tech tree version. However the rewards have a significant difference in favor of the premium versions. So I did research vehicles much faster with the account the boosters and the premium vehicles.
I don't know if I can confirm or deny P2W but I was definitely not free to play but it was by choice not by constraint

How about we use free to play players to satisfy paying customers?
How?
by adjusting few numbers (manipulate gameplay)
Premium giving any benefit in the match is a myth.
no

imagine after purchasing some product u don't feel satisfied
would u buy it again?

so they manipulate gameplay with all tools possible (before u buy and after u buy )

PS its sad that most players don't understand that

I am happy that u feel great after 100% extra "COINS" rewards
but "COINS" rewards is only one tool and I am not talking about "COINS" rewards

I am talking about gameplay manipulation

You are talking about something that doesn't exist. Wanna know how I know? I have Premium and my experience is absolutely the same to when I didn't have it. Stop blaming fiction for your skill issues.

I never bought premium time or premium vehicles for any combat advantage. I bought them for the reward bonus.

Thank you for standing your ground on an outside the box, often shamed opinion.

Ah yes, the boogeyman everyone loves to blame when they're bad at the game. Last guy that showed me "definite proof" of it existing showed himself missing his shots entirely,

Instead of defaulting to the idea that something is working against you, maybe look at your own performance next time. I do decently with and without premium, I encounter the exact same bugs and gaijins, and so far I am yet to encounter any advantage owning Premium has given me.

Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment gosh if they are helping me in ground battles then I am really really really bad at ground.

Same. The only combat advantage premium time provides indirectly is faster modifications research, so that you spend less battles with awful vehicle characteristics and can reach their full potential sooner (and for higher ranks vehicles, it may mean you fight more effectively, as you accumulate less frustration and become less nervous grinding a vehicle from the stock and therefore are more concentrated and aware what's going on in the current battle).

But I did buy some premium vehicles to do BP tasks and trials however, the ones that are super effective in some roles (Like Wyvern is the best strike aircraft to farm AI ground targets or intercept bombers) or are rank III but are low br, while most of the tasks require lvl 3 vehicles at least. Say British Hellcat is a decent low br fighter and wasn't moved to rank II unlike the American and French counterparts, it's a good choice to complete 'Destroy 5/10 player-controlled vehicles' wagers imo, along with BP objectives that require to just spawn once in a rank III+ vehicle to count, and you can make a powerful lineup of Spitfires, Hurricanes, Beaufighters (all are rank II) and this rank III premium airplane not exceeding br 3.3 total in air arcade, and so on, there are many more possibilities than I've listed.
