When you get lucky through some event or through completing enough missions, you can get a premium day Make use of it, there's a few bond tanks in the bond shop that can make good credits like the guard, liberte, patriot Then if you have it, use your credit boosters as well +50% credits from premium acc, +50% from booster, +50% from premium/bond tank It's as good as you can get

If you've played for 10 years, surely you wouldn't mind paying $50 for it? Its what? 5 a year for how many hours you spent on it? Surely your time and enjoyment is worth more than that?

Surely you can see some value in that?

[@HardBall-be1fe]

@@randomyoutubebrowser5217 Firstly, if a business puts out a product that is free, you are the product. They make their money with advertising and providing the information, limited as it may be, that you've provided. This is standard practice and most all of us are aware of it and still choose to play. Secondly, when one advertises a game such as WOT for 'free play' then does everything they can to ensure that you are unable to progress past certain points in the game, they are doing so strategically to further make money from using you and your information. While I don't begrudge them from making money, they should learn from the cable television companies that have fought so long to sell you their services, then force feed you the commercials that you must endure. Their product becomes less and less attractive when one begins to wonder why one is paying to be forced to pay more. Be it through force fed advertising, or forced pay services to advance.

You took your first shot after 3 minutes and 17 seconds in the T95.

I absolutely love your content even though I'm not playing WoT PC and your videos are worth watching every single time... I rewatch your older content a lot when I'm bored and need something interesting to fill that void.

[@KarlEller]

IMO I think the best way to grind the Cent 7 is: 1) Free exp the tracks (need tracks to even mount equipment) 2) 20-Pdr Type B 3) Engine 4) Turret (don't mount yet) 5) 105mm Gun (only mount turret when you get the top gun). The 17 pdr has crap alpha and meh pen, but at least you have good DPM, and with the engine it's decently mobile, so you can do some flanking and hammer weak spots. Don't mount the turret until you have the top gun unlocked, the ONLY thing it adds is +150 hp and 10m view range, no ROF buff, no gun stats, nothing like that, and it weighs an extra 2000 kg, so hurts your power to weight. I did the grind by going for the 105mm first, and it broke me, I ended up spending gold to convert exp for the gun, and it was incredibly painful because of how slow the tank was, I think it'd be a lot less painful going for the engine first.

Stock tanks are unplayable, their only purpose is to create a grindwall and make you spend money on free xp so you can play the game. A lot of the tech tree tanks, especially at tier VIII, because of the premiums, are obsolete and useless, i cant imagine playing any of them stock, its literally unplayable, like, not "ha ha this tank sucks" kind of way, but a literally cant play the game with it, you are there just to feed hit points to enemies and spectate the game.

[@InfestationPony]

To be real, current tier 8, even lifted out of stock, is still useless compare to those meta premiums. Now stock pain, that's a different level at tier 9. Try the same tier 8 setup but everyone's better than you, and suffer through 60k exp just to reasonably pen something.

[@Ravitas3]

So true. Some stock tanks are just horrible, I am thinking of my M46 Patton. If you didnt grind the last optional gun of the Pershing, you basically have 160 pen instead of 190. Hopefully, this isnt the case for every tanks. Even stock, the Conqueror is very decent in combat, but damn that thing is also very slow..

[@aynersolderingworks7009]

New ranks tend to be alright-ish at stock tier 8 and 9, older lines tier 8 and 9 stock is fuckiing pain, t34-2 and m46 come to mind because you have to unlock so much before being able to damage anything, look at object 430 vs t-54, object gets best gun from start, t-54 has to unlock a wall of things before top gun, WG should rework older tank lines because their grind wall is nonsensical

[@FOKI5895]

Those feelings are exactly why I don't bother with any mission marathons anymore... I suffered through the first one and felt just like you did.

[@Hallreaver]

One of the issues in WoT is how damage is your source of income, dmg = Credits (Yes i know spotting gives some too but not enough) :P You make way too little credits for the amount of damage you may be able to do, especially at high tiers.. And Especially when you take into account the Premium Rounds.. When you look at WoWs ships has much more health and you do more dmg and obviously you make more credits and you actually make credits compared to WoT.. They really need to rework dmg = credits and how exspensive some ammunition is.. Also they should try and really do something about the feeling you are fighting your own team more than actually fighting together to win..

[@Linerunner99]

They aren't going to. Most people at tier ten lose money per match. This encourages them to buy premium vehicles to fuel the credits they need to play their tier tens more. WG likes this dynamic.

[@dynamike9351]

Yes that may be true, But if you use all your advantages at your disposal, Premium acc+Credit booster+clan booster+ Premium Tank, you can earn up to 200k credits per battle which is insane, so if they rework it, they need to nerf premium earn and I think they won't do that

[@_pp79_]

I like your videos and you start me to play this game again. Unfortunately this game is different than 5 years ago. Random games are packed with premium tanks. My win rate was 53+ before. Now its hard to get more than 30%. Usually my daily win rate is 5-20%. How you grind 70k (for next tier tank) with that? It will take years to play for next tank. No thanks. I have noticed that when playing german tanks I`m always 2tier lower. Matchmaking sucks.

[@MrKillswitch88]

Check what was on the teams when the losses pile up faster than bills and you'll notice all the low win rates flooding onto the teams never mind one team getting the bulk of the decent players.

[@bozydargroch9779]

Lmao my friend, not to worry you, but low winrate like that is completely on you. Literally only advice u can get is "git gud". Premium tanks don't affect winrates in your games, even blaming MM would be better argument, bcs it actually sometimes makes the difference. Most likely you just got rusty after big wot break, practice some and u will get back to old winrate. Also the amount of braindead ppl playing spgs was reduced greatly, so playing for any other class except light tank got so much easier and fun

I used to play with a premium account and I bought premium vehicles, buy gold and what not but no long. I’m now 100% FTP, it’s a pain but not going to spend another dime on this game. One thing to note is that when I had a premium account I had a win rate at 50% up to 35k battles. Since I’ve gone FTP my win rate has dropped considerably in the last 2k games. Proving my suspicion that WOT is all about pay to win.

[@markeldik7057]

But if you already have premium tanks you can still use all the gold ammo and premium consumables. So unless MM changes for premium account users your win rate should be the same. But i have my suspicions there is some secret skill based MM, cause it's way too often where the one day you roflstomp your enemies for an easy 70 % wins and the other you have to fight tooth and nail to achieve 50%...

Im going for the T28 at the moment and im glad your showing a vehicle im getting within 2022.

[@illegalopinions4082]

19:00 - Missing family time because you're grinding is the true F2P experience. It's also why F2P games are never worth your time as a F2P player. Every missed event to boost progress hurts, but so does missing other things because you're at home grinding like some sort of loser.

i tried playing the pershing stock almost quit the game

I got all the tanks from US tree but not Pershing, idk why but I hate that tank and I didn't even played it.

[@chockyman3858]

that tank ain't any better fully updgraded lol, the Pershing is the definition of trash

[@andiadmiral8128]

Yep its just like playing eagle 7 tank but in higher tier

Well played! That Leopard game was hilarious :)

[@alexholding6463]

and he earned it all for free hes never bought any gold

[@Nezevonti]

Wasnt gold a reward for some Ranked stages and event quests?

[@sleglik]

You can gain gold as free player.

[@kende4808]

@@sleglik ye i know just a joke :D

[@andiadmiral8128]

Yeah very confusing. Still dont know how they can easily get that ammount of gold which almost impossible to gain.

[@Maverick800XRS]

Watched your review video on the wz114 and decided it wasn't worth the pain and suffering of the marathon... it seems like the more events and marathons that come up to play kind of force you to play to keep up with the game to get the newest tanks and newest content and once you start feeling like you're forced to play to get these things the fun goes away quickly and eventually you just burn out and have to leave the game along for weeks maybe even months at a time. Usually if I participate in any marathons the furthest I'll get is 70 or 80% and then I pay for the tank with the discount rather than trying to grind all the way through, just takes too long and I'd call myself a decent player. Thanks for the content, hopefully the family wasn't too mad at you to come and visit and spend a lot of your time playing games :P

[@ragnaroknibba6083]

Reason why i pkay sporadically now. Never spent a cent on the game. And sometimes it shows. Pkaying T10 isbunprofitable even if you dotn fire any gold, and do 7k dmg. Just the shell cost, and not to mention if you die, repair costs

[@vulpinemac]

Playing for free is definitely a pain, and playing without gold to convert freeXP is more than an annoyance when you're grinding a relatively poor vehicle.

[@pavelperina7629]

Full stock prototype? Man, thanks for nightmares. I remember it in 2014 - no repair kit reuse, 5deg of gun depression, atrocious gun handling especially with stock turret, turret rotation speed of TD with huuuuge dispersion. I recall losing to Comet 1vs1 - he ammoracked me twice, i had 17s reload and he circled me cause I could not hit him with that dispersion values (I could not even turn turret fast enough tracked). And Comet is not especially famous for it's agility. So I lost almost full hp tank to tank with third of hitpoints who decided to yolo me at the end of battle. And when I played it, I think it already had reload buffed.

[@BaldEagle777]

I love watching you play stuff like this!! Lol let's me know I'm not the only one sufferinggggg and also can help show me what to do in bad stock tanks lol the Leo PTA is SO PAINFUL stock lol it was my first tier 9... and I instantly sold it back in the day lol

[@h3nryfu]

T-95 pain train is how i used to roll, line up on it and just push thru anywhere.. just dont stop moving forwards, nothing can stop you lol

[@joyboy1536]

This Mines map in WoT is pretty similar to the Mines map in WoT Blitz! There's a city where there is a base circle in it. And a high ground in the middle where you can snipe and shoot opponents below you and vice-versa! And it's also on the beachside!

[@bhishmaMbt]

Finally someone who understands our pain of grinding

[@russian_sovietbias.2]

war thunder is even more painful

[@russian_sovietbias.2]

grind for leopard2a5 was hard enough and had it for 2 months still Don't have leopard2a6

[@martinfguitar]

QB’s German is always amusing to listen to. Keep it up! Love your vids 👍🏻

[@peterjanssen7573]

I'm grinding for the Tusk on WOTC, and for the last stage you need 780,00 experience. Calculate that I will need at least 390 missions if I can do 2000 average per mission. Luckily all bonus tank experience counts towards the experience total. Still a huge amount of game play! I don't use real money but unlike QB, I do fire some gold and use premium consumables because I can purchase them with in game credits. I even watched some of that 9.5hour QB session the other day, first time watching Twitch!! You did a great job QB even though you were shattered.

[@johnleighton8605]

I recently moved to the EU server after many years on the NA. Here are a couple of interesting things I have noticed starting out with a new account again. 1. The seal clubbing happens at a much higher rate then I thought. Having been years since playing the low tiers I did not know this was happening at such a rate. Good players, if you are doing this to inflate your ego, please stop this. All you are doing is driving any new player out of the game. 2. The new Topography mode is a great place to earn credits and free experience, along with some large repair/med/fire consumables. All it takes is your time to grind through it. Much easier way to get some credits for a new player, more then a million credits are available if you do all the currently available maps. Just my views from an experienced player who has started a new account and seeing it from a fresh perspective again.

[@happykiwi]

war thunder (WT) seems more fun because of the variety of vehicles and weapons and combine arms that the gameplay provides but I'd argue that the grind to get the vehicle you want is more miserable than world of tanks (WOT). how WT works for tier advancement is based off a number of vehicles researched within a tier to advance to the next tier. so you would have to research self-propelled anti air, self-propelled artillery, light tanks, heavy tanks, tank destroyers, infantry fighting vehicles within a tier until the total amounts to 4 or 5 vehicles researched to unlock the next tier. what i like about WOT is how linear the progression is; if you want to unlock a tank destroyer, keep playing the tank destroyer class within the respective nation to progress through the research tree. the research tree will eventually fork so you may have to play a different class to get to the class you want, but it's usually 1 or 2 times that it forks off so you can keep playing the tank class you want which in turn matures you to be a better player in that class of tanks- it makes sense. I feel like the way WT is designed is to force players to try variety but I prefer to leave that to player preference- if we want to experiment with different stuff, let us choose to do it on our own terms, don't force it on us because everyone has different playstyles. long rant i know, but this is my take on it

[@robinhood1488]

I also feel happy most of the time, and certainly I never have periods of boredom. And playing World of Tanks never gets me down. I play for fun and take the crap with the good times. I've given up on trying to complete the mission marathon.

[@siniteanrazvan3298]

I just feel like 5+ crew skills and food, not even mention the bond equipment seems to help so much in this game and is extremely rare where you will get such good games as a free2 play guy, but at the same time you love to play such game as wot, but is somehow "unfair"

Played this game for at least 8 years already and not on a daily basis. Completely free. I still have the is7 only and nearing the 268. Credits is pretty hard to get. Still this game is fun to play and have no plans on stopping

I love QB talking Germany. It sounds so funny when you actually speak German.

[@Alexanderthegreat126]

I personally did way too much grinding in my life. Earned many premiums in mission marathons. I remember the hardest marathon was a Tanksgiving marathon many years ago now. The IS-6B, T-34B, and the Schwartz Panzer (I think) were up for grabs. You were only supposed to pick one maybe two to earn over a while month. I was stupid enough to go for all 3. It was horrible to grind that. In short f2p is painful but I did what I had to to claw myself ahead and barely be an average player with about 50 something percent.

[@brain9inatank474]

Time is passing faster when you are happy ... but also, those are the times you want to look back at. You create memories that will last for your entire life. When you are bored or unhappy, time simes to pass slower, but also those are the times you want to forget laiter.

I would really like to see in videos like this where you focus your eyes. Sometimes I feel like I look at the mini-map too little. It would be great if you could get tools that could track your eyes.

[@garrettdehon8372]

Aye, one thing that is true is the passage of time seems to be quicker as you age due to your perception. More time behind, less time ahead. It's apart of the human condition. I got a new job recently, working a lot of hours, and time for the last 3 months have shot by. Only seems like a couple weeks ago I was moving my stuff into the house.

I've always seen adverts for this game.... never played it though. Until today. Today i'm finally installing it
