This crap has been happening for a long time. I lose 250000 credits a night with 70 percent win rate and shooting regular ammo mostly. The game just is crap.
Rocket tanks, an Elite symbol system that no one asked for, a pre-battle dog tag display that 14 of 15 players have disabled, but WG can't keep the tank sounds working during a battle.
@KOS762 lol yes it does. Losing credits incentivizes you to buy premium account subscription and premium tanks. If you don't think credit loss makes wargaming money you need to rethink the issue
Im a Genius in finance. I usually grind all the way to T10, then pay 6m for shit, then play 10 or so games, then sell them for 3m. Now, retrain the crew for your reliable T6 or T7, or put again in your bad premium T8 so you can farm again 6m credits and waste in T10 shit. My special thing is do this more than 1 time! I tried tanks like AMX30B, CS63, Patton48, more than 1 time. You let time pass, forgot the bad moments with these shits... And buy again to give them 1 more chance.
Yeah, spend crazy grind time and expense to reach tier 10, then realize that game play is no different from tier 6, just far more expensive, and sell the tank for half its value to finance your tier 6 tanks... Been selling my tier 10s for the last 2 years, 3M credits at a time, giving me the opportunity to use more gold and better equipment in T6 and T7 tanks for about 45 days play. Soon enough I will run out of T10s and T9s and will have to sell those that I've been holding on to for nostalgia, like my IS7, further shrinking my 13 years addiction to this game until I finally switch off and do better things with my time.
YEP.. a premium shell, that cost 4800 credits per shot.. then doesn't pen!!.. Hence the reason, I sold my 705A, my Grille 15, my 60TP, my Kranvagn and my IS-7 TWICE!!.. They cost a fortune to run, and don't pen $#!+..
Claus - the engine sound fault has been back since 1.25.0. It only appears if the replay starts with the countdown partially completed. Those games that start with a full countdown generally have the engine sound working from the start. You might need to restart the replay to get the engine sound back. However, games below tier 5 that start with a partial countdown can fail altogether. If that happens, keep trying because sooner or later the program may work. On some replays I've had to do as many as 20 to 30 restarts as the program keeps failing. You can of course record the replay without engine noises, but it's not quite as good. If you recall, we had this problem some time ago and it generally manifested on clients that used mods like Aslains. You might not have realised that the UDES game did not have engine noises as the Mines map has so much furniture being destroyed by the other tanks that it masks the lack of engine noise.

Along time ago in a WoT now far far away,.I stopped playing tier 9s until I had a big credit reserve because, if it was a bad battle I would lose credits, (I've never been a PP.). That then, I noticed later on changed to include tier 8s In the last year it has moved down to tier 7s. Why? Simple, If you play you wil lose credits so much that you will be forced to, sell something, Buy gold to replace the credits( The real key to it.)or, drop down tier to lower to Collect credits to be able to lose them again at higher tiers. It's is the same game as, what used to be Gold ammo, changed to Premium Ammo it cost more credit but it's not directly Gold. A con that's all it is. Wg thinks,." we play them all for stupid and make more money".,. Yes Yuri is good tactic ,.vee do dis!
When I started playing the game years ago, it was well known you should expect to lose credits (silver) at higher tiers. That's why players continued to play mid tier to make credits. Is that not the same situation now? Business as usual.
I have enjoyed the commentary, very entertaining. I used to watch you when you started, but have had a few years off. A 75/25 ratio of great humour and insight mixed in with complete half arsed bunk delivered with amusing conviction, scepticism begins at home Claus, that's all I'll say, me old codswallop. Ya caany win em all. Overall, not a bad game ;)
Claus you are my fav WG streamer, I like your no nonsense approach dear boy. Keep it up. Love your scarf man. My two pennys worth... To play this game you need to earn credits and after 14 years of playing I dont play anything else but Premium Tier 7/8 tanks. I dont play any Tech Tree tanks or usless SPG's and certainly not any Tier 9/10 tanks as they consistently lose credits. You don't need high Tier tanks to get a little bit of enjoyment out of this rigged pay to win game. Credits I make is mostly spent on Crew Training! With a few Premiums tanks you dont need to spend ANY real money on the game unless you are swapping and changing equipment constantly and you may need some gold to dismount your equipment. By the way when I started this game a long long time ago I used to make 100k to 150k credits regularly with my Premium tanks and I'm not really a very good player. At nearly 70 years old my hands and fingers dont work like they used to. These days after 42k+ games with Premium tanks I only make around 30k-50k credits on average. Over the years I have collected a lot of Premium Tanks, however, these are the best credit making Premium Tanks in my opinion; Lowe, TM122, Obj. 703, T-34, Super Hellcat, Progetto M35 and CS-52 LIS and lastly my favorite credits cruncher, SU-130PM. When choosing a Tank, Premium or Tech tree, the ONLY thing that is important is Alpha Damage and Penetration and nothing else. Armor is really irrelevant! as gold ammo and RNG decides if you penetrate or not. You have to remember that this game is rigged to keep your win/lose rate between 48-52% in random battles. You will know quite quickly after a game starts if you are in a winning game or not. Just look at the gun size distribution to start with. If you are in a winning game you will see crappy enemy players, you will hit and penetrate and high roll what seem like impossible shots, in a losing game your first 3 shots will either bounce, miss or simply disappear somewhere in the dirt and almost all will be low rolls. After playing for 14 years you tend to notice how the games are going to go. If you believe the statitics in this rigged game then you must also believe in fairy's. I stopped looking at statistics years ago and these days just like shootin' shit. All you noobies out there remember, "Its only a game" treat it as such and you will have a nice day.
Modern AMX 30 shell costs around $600 USD… $60k in ammo for the Udes (blueprinted in the 70s) would assume he shot 100 shots. They just be coming up with stuff at this point ammo in real life doesn’t even cost as much as their stupid credit system
That's the main reason why I don't play tier 10 tanks. Whatever you do you will lose credit. I have tested it and in 10 games lost around 200 000 credits without a premium account.
Believe it or not jg pz e100 is the cheapest tier 10 tank to play with for free to play players like me... It has very good penetrations on standard ammo, so I really never use premium ammo. Second the armour is there to forgive your mistakes... And on average I do about 3k damage... I did my highest in that tank of about 8k damage... I use all my bond equipments on it that way I don't need to use food... And I end up making credits to on standard account
For all the knowledge you impart about RNG, sigma, gun depression, etc., there is one subject that you and all the CC’s refuse to talk about. The one thing that would have explained both results and lifted the veil from our eyes. I and the rest of the WoT community eagerly await your master class on Russian Math.
I have to play 4 or 5 games in one of my free premiums, that I don't particularly enjoy, to be able to afford to play 1 game in one of my tier 10s, the economy is screwed if your free to play and trying to 3 mark anything above tier 7.
I thought that tier 10 was never meant to be profitable so players would buy tier 8s to farm credits in order to afford the top tier. Then they added good ammo (this shows how long ago I stopped playing WoT).
The Credit-System is down, there is no fun playing WOT with this circumstances anymore. F2P is like going to work, because i have to earn money. Like in real life! And this is not the Sense of playing. In the past i spent a lot of real money in this Game... for what?
I still don't understand after all this time (more than 10 years) why the hell bouncing shots, capping or decapping don't matter for credits or xp?!?!? Or better said why the hell WG though this way?!? 😱😱
Economy is a big reason i prefer warships and warplanes. Only game of the 3 i have credit issues is tanks. I even play warplanes to earn gold and free xp at a great rate to advance in tanks lol. At least they share those 2 resources.
Don't want to lose credits? I recommend you Avoid premium ammo, and only play up to tier 6. Just my opinion, but I try not to play any tanks above tier 6. Those upper tier games just suck up the credits, much like the way a vampire sucks blood at a sorority sleepover!
Jesus, been maybe six years since I played, the economy has obviously changed a shitload…. And you still go to exactly the same spots as when I last played.
If that's the regular ammo, it's really nice. It's not the cheapest ammo for this tank though, but definitely the best-ish? also, he got the missions done! honestly - I call "jingles drama" on this first battle... as for the second battle, he had A LOT of blocking and damage, and did a bunch of dmg! however... what the fuck is going on indeed - I find getting creds the hardest part in this game!
WG should have a multiplier for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers. Let's say 20, 15, and 10 percent. Then they can program for a player to get the 10 percent bonus once every 50 games. (to keep them trying to be better)
A little Pink Floyd, a bit of Talking Heads and end with the Russian dirge. When I need to make a lot of credits, I play tier 8 premiums like the Skoda T56. It seems to make credits every time I play it. But tier 10 tech tree tanks; Forget about it!
why do i do not see any videos from you on my main account where i always see the unicum videos? No matter what i do, i am free to play and WOT decided to put the max win rate for me on 30% (came from 45% and rising, till they changed it while my damage and kill stats still go up). 72% hit rate at 20% pen rate...
well maybe wargaming can balance things out by actually allowing us to get credits with bouncing shots... there, maybe there would be fewer credits lost, even if its exploitable, since you play your best game ever and lose money, while giving them money, I mean what is going on
Almost every single real life sane youtuber had said from the start that the north spawn is the the winning side. Just today I was in this map and with my fast tank I got in to the hill first and my team mates hindered anyone from the enemy tem to get there and with my 'clip' tank I could burst all over the place and it is total havoc every time. About 90% of the games when the other team gets this hill and usually the 'north team', the game is set and there is nothing to do. But even bigger issue as these rare maps that are not in balance is this making more and more 'adjustments' to maps, so that TD become completely useless and all what is left is this hulldown wanking... for fucks sake! Also the point in scouting is reduced if the open areas are diminished expect on Prokhorovka and maybe Sand River and few others. I had to block 'Airfield' and 'Mountain Pass' as they were made purely by these new changes completely useless maps for anything sane in terms of a bit realism or gaming expieriece... Good Lord. Maybe in the leading board of WG there are similar perons like Kathleen Kennedy in movies, who discarded everything George Lucas had established and wanted the female aspect and Woke culture to florish forgetting at the same time, that most of the fans had always been males. If you go to grochery store to buy something that has been your favorite food and then it is replaced with something you don't like and is not the same and someone just says to you, 'but this is way better, believe me'... Whatta fuck? Like in one movie, very classical one from the old days 'Falling Down' where Michael Douglas was the main character and as he was a bit too late just about one minute on local hamburger restaurant and he wanted the breakfast choiche, he was told that the time was up and he had to order something else. This character asked this: 'Haven't you ever heard the saying, that 'Customer is always right'... This binds all what I just said together.
This also good be the best argument against evolution theory as there in these cases there isn't seen anything that is evolving at all... insted only regression...
I play on console and we have mario karts runmimg around and op premium tanks killing our tt games. I am not a unicum but still pretty good and live playing tt tanks but at tier 10 you can win but lose 11,000 credits a game. It is insanity....😂
So true its hard to make profits in this game even with prem acc .... between bad dispersion and lemming teams that rush and die in 2 mins I've lost over 1 million credits in about a month I don't play that often anymore im an average player top 70% of players this has been an issue now for a long time with the game and I rarely fire any prem rounds only way to consistently make credits is playing onslaught or steel hunter getting sick of this game between tanks that are impossible to pen frontaly and ebrs u hit them and no pen they have no fking armor like 😂😂😂
First game wasn't all tier 10. Tier 10 has always been a credit sink. WG don't want people making credits at tier 9 and 10 because people would only play high tiers. Irony is it's probably never been as easy as it is now to make credits at high tier.
