Why are costs so high for ships to go out of port?

[sneakybass]

141,750 just to take my Montana out . What a rip off even with a premium account , and no extra heals and a no extra spot plane nothing If I had used them that would have been a extra 66,000 service costs come on I would have been In the red, the pay off was horrible what the hell you guys doing just
silent nerf the crap out of my ship because I have never been paid back so cheaply what a joke. What Is It with this game always have your hands out, this game Is so friking tight. At this rate I will never get any where grinding.........

you pay for consumables even if you dont use them
using heals will not cost you more, so use them
just like taking damage doesnt cost extra, same cost for a destroyed ship as a ship that never gets shot
so get shot, so you get payed for potential damage
only thing you pay extra for is ammo, so finishing off the last enemy with ramming is a sensible financial decision

In the earlier stages of the game, you had to pay way less just to "go out of port" (i think it's called "service cost"), but you had to pay for repairs and that caused a lot of players being afraid of taking damage and playing very passively.

The service costs were increased by a lot and the repair costs were removed, that's why you have to pay a lot just to play t10 ships.

Why is the amount of credits you have to pay so high? Playing tier 10 was supposed to be very expensive so players play mid and low tiers a lot to farm credits. The idea behind this was to keep these tiers full of players.
But nowadays, you can just buy a permanent camo for t10 ships for 5000 doubloons. That's worth 2 months of premium time, but since it reduces the service cost by 50% AND increases the amount of credits you get by 20%, that camo is key to playing a t10 ship without having to farm credits at lower tiers. Depending on how well you are doing and if you are also using a premium account in addition, you might actually be able to farm credits with a t10 ship you like to play.

I think he means that he doesn't use premium consumables. That's something everyone should do, however. It's easier to get better results (and thus more credits) by using premium consumables.

51,000 for just shells really .Now because I use my Montana I shoot a lot before I attack Players need more of a break In costs. I don't mind supporting this game with premium account If I had not had one i would have been in the red . but Im getting a little fed up with costs , Its worse than war thunder geess. This game needs to lighten up , I can't believe people put up with this for digital nothing...

Its just like War thunder but worse they must be reading the same book....

And i do have a skin for my ship........

As i said, the goal is to keep the low and mid tiers populated. If you don't want to play mid and low tiers just to play your t10 ships, you can buy perma camos for your favorite t10 ships.

If you do have the perma camo already (not every camo reduces the service cost by half, it has to be the 5000 doubloons one), and it's still difficult for you make credits even in combination with a premium account, we should have a look at the detailed reports. Because the amount of credits you get depends on what you shoot and how you play.

Would you mind sharing some screenshots of your post battle reports? The detailed report (how much damage you did to what ships, how much potential damage you got etc.) and the credits report are the important ones. We can analyze why you get only few credits or might have lost some if you had used premium consumables, and help you to earn more.

I have played at least eight games and only have 251,000 credits for eight games for six hours of game play and we won most of them, and I have a Pera camos come on I refuse to buy any more gold or silver ........

Winning doesn't matter for credits. Only your personal performance matters. And you should never ever buy silver/credits directly for real money or for gold/doubloons. That is always a horrbible deal.

As i said, if you share some of your post battle results (the "Detailed Report" and "Credits and XP" screens in particular), we can analyze why you don't get more and tell you what you can do to change that.

if your grinding different lines you should get more then enough money to buy everything up until tier 9 where you might need to start a second line to keep the income up
the lower tiers have damn good profits
tho honestly in my roon i also tend to get 100k profit per game minimum, its just the the prices go up significantly and xp gain goes up too making unlocks faster then buying the upgrades and modules

[sneakybass]

This game Is just like War thunder In the way It works. I'm not the greatest player 200,000 on average credits to 350,000 credits but you should be able to make as much playing at low tiers and high ones or at least some more of break when you have a premium account , Playing with no account one game said 8000- without a premium account ,this game Is so tight, Hell 50% to 60% of players don't get a kill , So tell me how are they to grind with nothing coming In ?

The aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan cost over $7 million per day to operate. The cost on a Montana sounds appropriate. Boats are big holes in the water into which you pour cash.

I have the Georgia battleship tier nine does It pay more than a tier 10 like the Montana?

It should, yes.
First, the Georgia is tier 9 instead of 10, therefore the ship has reduced service costs. Second, it should count as a premium ship and therefore have a much lower service cost than t9 tech tree ships. Third, relative to their tier, the Georgia is a better ship than the Montana and thus should give you better results on average (again, relative to the tier), and that means, more credits.
