How to profit SL playing sweden?

[Chikuwu]

8.3 lineup costs like 50k+ to repair, need to kill 10+ tanks to make even.

Is this why everyone plays just one tank in top tier?

[Wandering Flare]

Yes.

Well, many people only have one premium/squadron tank in general, but yes.

Yes but specifically for sweden, other nations don't have the same repair issues, ~27k for my most expensive russian lineup, and ~30k for Germany and USA, with the new economy change it should be around 30k across the board for a 5 vehicle lineup for the big three. Sweden is the oddball with like 26k just for it's 3 top tier MBT's and another 10-12k for an SPAA plus whatever light you want to bring which is likely around 7k. It's a bit nuts but by the same token you are not meant to be able to spawn and die in every vehicle throughout every match even at 8.3, thats something for rank 1 players, it's not meant to happen past that as the vehicles are balanced towards 2-3 spawns per game and have repair costs to captalize on that so people make minor SL gains or lose a sizeable but manageable chunk of SL if they mess up/do poorly.

Also repair costs are only 1 among half a dozen reasons why people one death leave, hell I just got the 2S38 over the sale and I was one death leaving in that inspite of the fact that it makes so much SL, simply scouting and dying covers the repair cost of the vehicle, I was one death leaving to maximize the number of matches I could run through in a short time with 2-3 kills per match and a ton of scouts so I could rapidly grind the russia tank destroyer line which I had neglected for a while now (I had a BVM but no ISU-122's lol). And even that is just one other reason to one death leave, there are more.

[Cha Cha Real Rough]

no one likes one death leaving, but sometimes its the only way to keep the money flowing

The Old Addage for Sweden is.

Dont Die.

So, yeah... that aint gonna happen so whats a swede lovin player to do ?

Not much sad to say.
Know you weaknesses, maybe this gets better at 8.0 br but your shells are weak !! good lord if id get some sl for how many times i get no damage id be far better off. So dont engage head on .. try to flank, yeah yeah your shell says it pens 270mm + ... its lying to you its a nerf dart.
So try and flank as much as possible.

Ambush, since your not really a tank, I know I know it looks like a tank but you have noticed how the other tanks, TANK hits ? well this aint you. so you cant lead the charge into battle or hold the front line, your not the anchor your the flanker. so when defending something stay outa sight find a good spot and get your sneaky boi kills.

Hey You Killed someone !! great now get the hell out of there !! im not sure what it is .. but when you kill someone with a swede tank . the entire map is alerted. the player you killed respawns in a plane that carries his largest payload, he tells his team that a swede tank killed him at point blah blah bla. Soon him and his team are coming to smite you. how dare you kill someone with a swedish tank. thankfully they are gamers, so if your not at that point they give up looking for you and go bomb the nearest cap or spawn .

Since your team mates are in actual tanks use them to Tank the hits and give you an idea where to shoot at . this works great . let the Tank take the lead. you stay out of sight the best you can and when the lead tank gets hit you have a target ! hopefully you can soften him up enough so the rest of the team can finish him off. if you hit him enough you might just get a supporting fire along with a kill assist . this will help gain some additional SL.


So yeah you either play Swedish tanks as a fun recreational LOL or Play for Pain ... for my self i play Swedish because i need to cry sometimes and point blanking whatever russian monstrosity i come across in the side 4 times with a bkan, only to be one shot by him, is a sure fire way to get those tears rolling.

I'm playing Sweden as my first faction, and I'm at 10.3 now.
You can try to play with more care and have a lower number of tanks in your lineup.

I usually play with 2 tanks, 1 SPAA and 1 CAS.
If the game seems terrible, just quit :)

Everyone knows that the game's terrible at top tier. If you don't squad up with your friends you will lose and even then, the rest of your team that consists of random donkeys will force you to lose.

How on earth do you people get these insane repair bills....???
I play (realistic ground only) israel 9+ and usa 10+ all the time and it is so extremely rare that i ever get minus in earnings.
Yes, i die ALLOT like everyone.
And no, i do not leave after 1 death, i will always stay untill i can't spawn anymore.

Either you people are doing something very wrong or am i just that good???

[Colonel Jason]

Easy,don't play sweden.

[Mephisto]

I just started sweden 8.3, not even half way through the mods. I don't know what you are doing, but I make my SL, not every match but the overall median should be around 5k+ per battle (without premium). are you one of the guys that runs headless into the enemy? swedens lineup is to be played max defensively.

The latter, you have to keep in mind that the majority of players barely scrape by or jump between positive earnings on match and negative in the next. Consistently maintaining a large positive earning implies you are better than the players you are playing with either when it comes to managing your lineup, playing the game or both.

Take me for example, I can (If I really want to, normally I don't) lose 5-6 vehicles in a match without using any backups and can in turn gain a massive repair bill but in doing so I also earn more than double said bill so it's of no real consequence to me beyond the time and effort needed to pull it off. For a normal player they may be having the match of their life and barely making just enough SP to keep spawning every time they go down but when the end battle screen arrives they are in the negative (unlikely but possible with the right lineup) or just barely turning a profit. This^ can be very discuraging to players and at the end of the day, if you earn as much for one spawn as you do for a 3-5 spawn match (depending on how many crew slots they have, mine are all 5 except for russia with 6 for my BVM to have a level 1 crew for the meme of it) then there is no real incentive to spawn more than once especially if that first spawn was the premium vehicle of your lineup OR the vehicle just below the one you are researching in the tech tree. So unless you want/have time to spawn more it is better to just leave and head to the next match, as sad as that is for your teammates.

Sweden at many BR's does not have great tanks for lineups. The repair costs for Sweden is notoriously higher than average, a lot of their "good tanks" early on are very boxy and slow and a lot of maps are very wide open spaces with nowhere to hide those boxes.

Can you overcome these challenges? Yes sure but it takes time, luck and perseverance. Grinding out these vehicles without premium is even more painful but to an extent every nation shares this pain. However they do not share this pain without having the ability to put together a solid lineup.

Once you get far enough in the tree it is not as bad a problem though.

Jeez I love those "don't die" and "know your weakness" kinda yoda crap
Sure, we all can talk crap like battle hardened generals, but in reality, cas will get you anywhere
I know my game, I die 3 out of 4 to cas revenge, literally
If you do good tank to tank, and I'm, there is always will be someone with his ego and ass on fire, and he will chase you down
You spawn, 3-4 kills and boooooom, spawn another vehicle, 1-3 kills and cased again
Spawning 3rd time and there is really high chance you die to CAS, because enemy got air superiority or you got spawn camped
So leave this bs preaching
The game design on itself is wrong
I fkn hate to leave the matches, but with all this bs and even stronger TV guided missiles, bombs, helicopters, it's really 1-2 tank game this days
On lower br its not that bad, but it is on higher
Hate cas, hate vangebombers, hate killcam for that reason
Coming to play tanks and all you get is this

[LordBUM]

bring the SPJ in your line up getting a kill with that thing will give you 20k sl if the tank you killed is 5 br's higher then it.

plus its funny as f*** killing T-72's and abrams tanks with it lol.

well if you still respawn when the enemy has air superiority and you don't spawn anything to counter exactly that ... I don't know what you expect. Accept a game is lost and move on.
you can't win if your team is bad and feeds the enemy easy spawn points so there is CAS everywhere

[RaideR]

Ignorance is a bliss
The point is, and you obviously taking my words out of context
With ALL been said, there is no point to use more than 1-2 vehicles per round, or 1 premium with a backups, and that is not really contributing to overall gaming experience
When you obviously can see if your team mindlessly charging in and getting killed and leave
It's a mess, not a game, where you can see right away how round will turn out
Don't spawn if enemy has air superiority, brilliant, thanks captain obvious
