Best blueprint for value

[mikelima777]

Out of the current blueprints, which ones do you think are the most worth purchasing and why?

[Halabaloo]

None of them. Crafting is useless.

To spend my vast sums of money after maxing my upgrades, I start with Panzer V or IV since they are worth more. I like to grab a basic one out of the yard and piece it together. As I make more money (since there's nothing else I can spend it on), I buy whatever blueprint from that point on.

Would say the Sherman for the most expensive part in the game. The Tiger I and Panther are the most expensive tanks, might be worth to buy the parts cheap when obtaining a chassis.

you make way more money selling the parts rather than the completed tank

[Limmin]

Although I've not sold my two Panthers (value about $100k each), their restoration cost was very low because I purchased the $450k blueprints. That said, I'd need to restore and sell at least 5 of these to break even. I am not sure I'm going to hang around and do this over and over again in order to break even.

So, as Halabaloo said, crafting is useless--but from the standpoint of making money. The blueprint costs are so high. And I'm not here to sell tank parts without a realistic economy in place (doing this is currently an exploit).

you can always buy high value "rusted" parts in large quantities....outsource them, and then sell the finished product.
you would be able to buy all 14 BPs within 30minutes.

edit: this is, of course, based on the assumption that you have all the perks to reduce purchasing and outsourcing costs.

[F_Fillet]

BP and crafting is virtually meaningless due to the ridiculous BP price,
not even in the sense of role playing/simulation.
Buying rusted or even finished parts is much more practical.

Maybe grinding money by outsourcing parts is the current workaround.

When I was short on money I just took many jobs from the e-mails in succession. I check the requirements to complete and do no more than that. It says you need to repair specific part but that's not true in reality. You need to bring the tank to overall repair percentage and assembly percentage and ignore client requests for specific parts. 90% of the jobs can be completed only using the three tools we have. Jobs which require 30% - 40% repair can be completed by only derusting half of the tank and sanding it. Jobs that have repair percentage requirement over the current tank assembly percentage will require us to provide some parts but that's still faster and cheaper than assembling one based on the yard husk with blueprint parts or going to dig out one and selling. There are 60k - 80k+ jobs that can be completed in five minutes. Most pricey tanks aren't worth much more...

If the blueprint can be seen as giving up technological know-how of tank maker, then it is justified that it is higly valued information. The most ridiculous part is that you can recycle a rusted part for 3 points and craft the same part in the best condition possible at the same, 3 point price.
Another ridiculous thing is that you can buy a new tank for the same, high price as the blueprint. Then you can sell it for 20% to 25% of it's original value, same as the restored tanks. This I can't understand.

The game was only released a short while. I expect them to rebalance the parts and scrap availability. If the game had recurring expenses and less scrap, then the blueprints could be cheaper and used to maximize profit for selling parts and/or used for tanks. As it is, once you get over $50k, the money doesn't go down and eventually you buy blueprints just to spend some of it.
