Fastest ways to gain credits?

[Aldeveron]

How can we gain credits (the green stuff!) quickly?

Do higher tier tanks earn more credits than low-tier tanks?
What is it that determines how many credits we earn from an operation?
Do PvP battles earn us more credits than PvE?

~Many thanks...

yes higher tier = more credits per match. the best way to maximise credit return is... 1) use premium tanks, 2) play all of your tanks to take advantage of first win of the day bonus, 3) play all game modes to get the first win of day bonus, 4) use boosts/insignia & premium time & last but not least win win & win again...losing = poor returns, sometimes for high tiers this can be in the negative.
yes pvp does in general return more... however in pvp you can get blown up in 10 seconds if you are with a noob team, as said, losing = bad $$$$.
pve spec ops returns more, but is a longer game, global ops gives the best return...again only if winning.

I couldn't have wished for a more helpful reply. Thank you kindly for that! (-:

Am I right in thinking that if you manage to reach the final objective circle, in a successful operation, you also get additional credits? Do you gain credits for completing the secondary objectives (such as destroying supply trucks, disarming missiles, etc)?

Also with the boxes you get for daily logins to the client, there is a chance for getting cash out of those too.
And lastly? Be stingy! When in some battles, always consider if it is worth taking a hit to your payout for using those consumables, often with Russians in PvE it is better to just take the loss and the payout from that.

And keeping old unused vehicles in your park will give you a small multiplier to the XP payout.
So I recommend sending old T1 T2 and up tanks that you do not use anymore, to the "reserve" which is a tickbox in the garage.
This hides them, but they still count in the multiplier for the XP payout.

Great tips - thank you. For the benefit of anyone hunting for the said tickbox, the method now seems to be to right-click the tank, and then select 'reserve'.

buy premium tier 8 tank -> use your boosters -> use your premium account -> use your global boost-> play for 50 hours straight in the hardcore mode = 150.000.000+ credits that you probably are not going to use.

Great advice, Aerdine - and well-written too. Thanks!
