EXP points to Gold

[Crackpot]

Can we exchange exp points the blue star one for gold it says we can but I dont know how. I know how to exchange gold for free exp points

[ReaperV]

No. Gold is a premium currency you buy with money or get as rewards for performing special tasks during events/tournaments and such. Gold is used to get free exp from vehicles you like playing but maxed already, it could never work the other way without making it pointless to buy Gold = no income to developers = killing this game.

ok thanks Reaper I think I found what I wanted and read it wrong I wanted to use the points from my premium tank

[EolSunder]

no problem everyone figures that out.

You can change experience into free experience (thus letting you use the free experience on other things) by using gold. Of course its usually easier to just use the gold to buy the other things you want than to change experience into free experience THEN use gold

You can use either gold or in-game currency to buy "gold" rounds for your vehicle. Once you are a better player it is always good to have a few gold rounds in your inventory just in case. A good player will have all 3 types of ammo to change depending on what tank they are facing. Of course, even having gold rounds doesn't mean you'll damage high armor tanks, just have a better chance. In some cases even high explosive rounds are better than gold rounds.

Thanks a lot Eol Sunder. that is a very good description of what I found plus a few bits I never knew with some good advice thrown in

actually, you are partly correct about premium ammo.

to buy premium ammo, you can either use gold or credits to buy.

nice

I also want to add that premium ammo is completely optional. You don't really need it to enjoy the game. Often it may have higher penetration values, but that's about it. In a few cases when dealing with particular high caliber guns that primarily shoot HE, they may have a powerful high-pen round, but even then they are strictly optional for pure enjoyment of the game.

if you talking about HEAT ammo, then yes, it is similar to AP and APCR ammo.

if you talking about HE ammo, then part of your post is totally wrong.

HE ammo depends on burst radius not penetration.

I was clearly talking about rounds other than HE, since I did mention that those guns primarily shoot HE, which does not have high pen. KV-2 also has AP ammo, not HEAT ammo, as just an example.

Additionally, unless this mechanic has changed from WoT PC, HE does greatly more damage when it penetrates. The burst radius is a factor in the damage, however it's more for damaging heavily-armored tanks at all versus actually hitting for max damage, such as when facing heavy tanks with more armor than what your shell can penetrate.

The difference is that the shell may do 200-300 damage if it does not penetrate, or 500-700 if it does.

actually, the HE ammo for WOT blitz is totally different from WOT.

the damage done by HE ammo in WOT blitz depends on where you hit the tank.

if you hit the front or the tracks, the damage is very low.

if you hit the rear, the damage is very high.

in WOT, HE ammo most likely the penetration is much more higher than the HE ammo in WOT blitz.

the only tanks in WOT blitz that can one hit kill tanks using HE ammo are

1) t18 and its tier 3 TD tank.

SP I C is the only tank where your HE ammo can deal full damage as its front, sides and rear armor are 10/10/10.

for the rest of the tanks, their armor is higher than the HE ammo penetration.

the most i see when i use su-100y and its HE ammo, the damage is around 450 damage only.

[graystripe]

also, this is the explanation for the HE ammo in WOT blitz.

http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ammo_(Blitz)

High Explosive (HE) Shell and below is the definition.

This shell has the highest damage value among all the shell types in the game, but it generally has very low penetration values. These rounds have a splash damage area, making it possible to damage multiple enemy vehicles within close proximity of each other. Unlike the other ammunition types, HE does not need to penetrate to damage the target, but the damage drops off quickly as the difference between the target's armor and the shell's penetration value increases. If it manages to penetrate the armor, it will explode inside the tank for the damage listed in the specifications. Additionally, HE rounds can deal damage to multiple internal modules and/or crew. Given these characteristics, High Explosive shells are VERY useful for damaging modules, or for getting guaranteed (or more likely) chance of damage on a heavily armored/low HP vehicles.

p.s WOT blitz don't have premium HE ammo. the premium ammo for HE ammo is HEAT ammo only.

Thank you for the clarification on the damage mechanics. :)

What I was saying was that some guns that primarily shoot HE (such as the KV-2 152mm or the M4 105mm) have alternative ammo types such as AP or HEAT as their Premium versions. Nothing more, nothing less.

there are some british tanks in WOT blitz using HESH ammo as well but it is written as HE ammo instead though.....under the description.......lol.

i have seen su-100y premium ammo which is AP ammo but even though its damage is higher, but its penetration is lower instead compare to its non-premium AP ammo.

[EolSunder]

yep it varies from tank to tank. Premium (gold) ammo USUALLY is better, but not in every case. I know many tanks that gold ammo is a waste of time and resources due to its horrible stats, and of course most tanks it is like it should be, same damage as regular ammo but just with higher penetration.

And I disagree, a vet player will always have gold ammo using in-game credits on their popular tanks in limited supply. Yes, you can have fun playing the game without having any gold ammo at all ever, but that gold round could be the difference between winning a match, and not winning. Your one of the last ones left and the enemy has a heavy armored tank. Yea you'll run into that plenty of times, and sometimes the win or lose is decided by one last shot, who gets it off first, and does it penetrate and do the final 50 health damage the enemy tank has.

Believe me, gold ammo has saved my win hundreds of times. I always have a few rounds in storage just in case i do run into that heavy armored tank while about and need to have that one shot make a difference. But like i said due to matchmaking there is still plenty of times your tier 4 tank even with gold rounds won't really do much to that heavy armored tier 5 your trying to damage. I've pumped lots of premium ammo into a heavy armored TD that i can't get behind and even aiming at spots that it should penetrate, just can't damage stuff. Happens.

there was a match one time when i was using su-100y and i was the last one left and facing two heavy tanks whose hp is 100 hp, i switch my ammo to HE ammo and just wait for them to come one by one and then kill them off.

if you ask me, i say HE ammo beats premium ammo from time to time...........since HE ammo will always do damage no matter what while premium ammo like you said in your post here will deal 0 damage from time to time.
