Claus real talk, you are one of the very few people who could have an opposite opinion on something yet I still genuinely enjoy listening too. Thanks for the commentary over the years Sir.

[@jocksmith6879]

Someone needs to tell that Progetto player from the 1st game to carry a full ammo load. Wondered why he had only 33 rounds when the tank can carry 45 rounds

[@ericsmith7149]

Excellent series on credit making.

[@darenturnbull3937]

At the 10:50 mark. lol. That’s the spirit of the channel. Also why this art is a critical portion of my daily routine. Gg Claus

[@crintraian]

As a TD for making credits I use my T-103 tier 8, it has a turret and some armor on it and 258 on ap and 307 on APCR, on tier 8 and 9 games you rarely need gold to pen only on some tier 10 games

At the 4:15 mark Claus you mentioned 2 hr boosters. Hope you ment you'd run boosters for 2 hours since Wargaming converted all our boosters to 1 hour durations. I had some 2 and 4 hour boosters that got converted. Like the wrecked my trouphies on those conversions. I got them from Tournements.

[@thomasfeiller2207]

Great mini-series!!!!

[@joel14roy]

the tiger II kuro is an awesome premium tank too! it's basically the same as the tiger II but instead of being tier VIII it is tier VII, stock with the 7.5mm canon instead of the big one. the other tanks from the girl und panzer pack are good too, but the tiger II kuro is the big piece of this pack. although the BT42 (light tank) is fun to play with it's oversized canon for big damage paired with it very good mobility, conclusion; a light tank that can be played a bit like a TD but with way less accuracy.

[@castlebravoli7]

My pet theory on the rapid zooming in and out is that a significant percentage of WoT players are on stimulants and get twitchy when nothing's happening, even for a few seconds

[@wobblyboost]

That theory is methed up dude.

[@Hardtruth11]

Does using barbiturates actually make you a better player though?

[@wobblyboost]

@@Hardtruth11 I'm sure it wouldn't, but they would feel like they are doing awesome, it fools you into thinking that about whatever your doing, which is why it's horrible trying to talk to someone on that stuff, yammering on and on and skipping between unconnected subjects, falsely assured that they are expressing pure tactile wisdom.

[@castlebravoli7]

@@Hardtruth11 well barbiturates are downers, so probably not them, but if your problem is staying focused, or slow reactions? Yeah I think speed would help. It would probably make *me* a worse player because it would amplify all my worst tendencies (impatient, acting on really stupid ideas as soon as I think of them, etc)

Back in the day when I played this game. I only took 10 premium rounds in all my tanks. Any more than that it was hard to break even.

[@jeffms5068]

Hey Claus, This has been an excellent series over the past three days. And what some ppl may be missing in your comparisons is the difference between "relative" and "absolute" words: to say only that X is "better" ("better" is a relative word) is meaningless without X's relation to something else, i.e., the TDs are "better" at "making credits." An "absolute" word needs no reference to something else: the Y tank is listed as having Z DPM. Sorta like being "just math". WoT is one of those games where you must make a clear choice: either play tanks that make credits but give you a severely reduced chance of winning or positively affecting the game (i.e., turn the game into a job), or have fun by spending real and/or virtual "money." Yes - the song WAS "Knock Three Times." Hey - you've cracked WG's Russian Business Plan: Buy Premium tank, that must shoot Premium ammo to perform well, and Buy Premium account to earn just a few credits. Seems like BUY and PREMIUM are the magic words.

[@allanclark1465]

[@stryker120ski4]

this is also the response from wg, another bs answer that they dont answer the questions, Thank you for taking the time to contact us. We appreciate your time and effort in creating an application for this matter. Please note that the balancer starts by trying to create a three-tier battle using the 3/5/7 template (three cars at the top, five cars in the middle, and seven cars at the bottom of the list) or some other variation (for example, 3/4/8, 3/3 /9, etc.). The option chosen by the balancer depends on the queue's composition. Determining the range of vehicle levels in battle and the type of battle. First, the balancer determines the number of players and squads appropriate for each combat level and type of combat. Next, the system analyzes the modes specified by the players, the equipment they chose, its levels, and the standard or preferential level of battles. Creation of two equal teams. Having determined the range of vehicle levels in battle and the type of battle, the system tries to distribute players among teams, taking into account balance requirements and restrictions: Templates. Both teams must follow a pattern: the number of vehicles at the list's top, middle, and bottom must be the same. Self-propelled guns. The number of self-propelled guns is limited to three vehicles per team. Wheeled vehicles. The number of wheeled vehicles is limited to one vehicle per team. Platoons. In random battles, only single-level platoons are allowed. The difference in the number of platoon players should be no more than three. Types of technology. The difference in the number of self-propelled guns, light tanks, and tank destroyers within each part of the team list should be no more than one vehicle. In addition, the balancer additionally tries to balance each part of the team list (bottom, middle, and top), taking into account the characteristics and roles of vehicles within types: the Maus tank is opposed by the Maus, Type 5 Heavy or E 100; tank T57 Heavy - AMX 50B and so on. However, in some situations, there will not be a symmetrical balance between playing roles. For example, if a vehicle with different roles is in a platoon. The balancer does not take into account: nationality of the tank; tank modules (gun, turret, engine, etc.); additional equipment and/or equipment installed on the tank; crew level; player skill level. Peculiarities of balancing platoons The difference between the number of platoon players in each team can be at most 3 (this number may be different if the criteria are relaxed due to a long wait). The maximum level of battles a platoon can engage in equals the maximum level of battles among the vehicles included in the platoon. The platoon is balanced according to the tank with the highest maximum combat level. The minimum limit for the level of battles that a platoon can get into is equal to the highest of the minimum levels of battles among the vehicles included in the platoon. When adding a platoon to a team, the balancer strives to ensure that the balance weights of all tanks in the platoon are close to the weights of the team's free seats. In this case, the tank with the highest balance weight has priority. If an individual tank (or platoon) waits more than 1 minute to enter battle, the criteria become less stringent. In this case, the balancer can create incomplete teams: fewer machines will be required, but their number will be the same in both teams. If the waiting time for a vehicle (or platoon) in the queue exceeds 5 minutes, a message prompting you to select another tank appears, and a transition to the Hangar follows. A platoon can contain no more than 1 tracked or wheeled light tank. Restrictions apply to Tier VII-X vehicles. Should you have any other issues, please do not hesitate to contact us. Have a great day!

I do agree premium tds are the easiest tanks to grind credits in but after doing some math my Charlemagne makes the most credits for me on a game by game basis and I do own several premium tds such as skorp strv s1 amx cda 105 etc but for some reason my Charlemagne is the credit making goat

[@gallaieousyehudai12]

I dont really have a difficult time with standard shells, and i hardly us heat shells, but premium shells are a waste to me. I just find a weak point, but ive played wot console edition since xbox 360, most these standard tanks are well known to me, premium tanks are usually a respec but sometimes a remodel of a standard. My best tank is the T29, back on 360 i had 3 mark of excellence stars on my barrel but i didnt know how concepment worked at that time, now after watching this channel, i said ok 10 second reload instead of 8 or 9 for better concelment in commander skills, and equipment, view range, and definitely crew performance. Which makes my T29 even stronger, though the cammo is +2% concealment. On console. It used to be my brawler tank, but ive gotten into a more stealth sniper set up, though i can still brawl if need be, obviously the turret is best used in hilly grounds since the frame is kind of weak. 320 damage per shot, with the 90mm. No premium will shock me, got the 4th of july cammo, looks real good with patriot as a decal, american flag. Best heavy tank ive played. T1 heavy and m6 was a rough ride, being a massive target. I dont why i went down the german heavy path, i had a vk, slow, heavy, instant target, but i was able to save it with hull positioning, but the turret has its weaknesses. T32 was okay but i didnt perform as good compared to the legendary t29.

[@KOS762]

it's funny you say that about TD's.... If you don't shoot at all, and just die, in the Skorpion G... you will make 25-35k in credits. If you shoot anything... you might lose credits.

[@Def_01_RG]

Last game a bit aimbot, look the gun search end pre-aim in the middle of the tank, a bit weird situations.

[@Keeper_89]

That Progetto didn't have full ammo loadout. He carried 33 shells and Progetto can carry 45 shells, so it is his fault that he run out of ammo. I can't understand people doing that. It's not Warthunder game, where ammo count matter for ammo rack kills. BTW you have 2 ammo loadouts per tank right now so you can take one load with a lot of normal ammo and second for shit MM with a lot of premium shells. Personally, I carry one loadout with 35/10/0, and second on full gold for that shitty object whateverthefuck tier 10 battles. Klaus, that 16:20 Borat battle was a tier 10 battle btw. It is true that it wasn't worst case scenario, but there were 2 tier 10 per side. 22:30 Large repair kit gives you +10% repair speed and not module protection. Large first aid kit gives you -5% stun duration and 15% crew protection.

[@michaelmedicworldoftanks33fps]

I disagree with your TD theory because Progetto will start making credits right from the start both shooting and spotting while TD will spend first 1/2 of the game most of the time with 0 spotting or any damage at all and another thing is when TDs have chance to do a lot of damage that's on their losing games when most of your team is eliminated and enemy starts to advance towards you so the truth about TDs is when they do lot of damage they don't make much credits because they lose games and when they win games they don't make much credits because their team has done all the damage before them 😌

Your math is off.....camping TDs even when they pen half of their xp will go to the spotter which in most cases is done by a light and therefore the camping TD makes only half of the money per shot, since the credits are based on the xp you make.

hm.. not cheap enough. Because you have to buy the premium tank somehow. Or you play for a month straight to win that tank. And that means that you cannot work. So my suggestion would be: Have your account. And delete the game from your computer. And then come back in 2 years. Because every day youwill get a certain amount of credits and you can play with those credits. That way you can earn millions and you dont need to waste your time on playing this unbalanced game. I played it for years. And i can say. It is a rip off. You better go to the woods and watch your dog eat yellow flowers. Or even better: go fishing :) Enjoy the great outdoors. In this gane you will only find aggression and disapointment. Although i must say i am one of the very rare players who has won his SU-130 PM and yes i have the snow leopard camouflage on it. And it is a real beauty. No wait, it is not real. Because it is just a pixel tank. A walk in the woods is real. And way better than the "Magic wood" in world of tanks. You will certainly live longer if you go to the woods and earn your credits by NOT playing at all :)

I like your videos and humor in general. However, your non-stop inflated attacks on QB is sad and pathetic and it seemingly goes a long way back for some reason. Once you actually refered to him when both of you investigated cheaters and rigged games, i liked that. You could handle him much more proffessionally, objective. With that said, I would like, for all kinds of games and content creators, to give credit where credits due. Its sad that you always derange into ravings about a fellow content creator and not seem to have an ability to hold any kind of objectivity. Its sad, because i like your channel and i follow QB too. You both have a great value for me in this game.
