I am a completely f2p player for 10+ years. And I can feel what you meant about the grinding. For the first 9 years I did not use gold ammo, and I am still not using premium consumables at all. Btw TVP is also one of my favorites :)
i respect you being f2p player. but premium consumables should be used when needed. i am talking about large repair kit. large med kit and automatic fire extinguisher. large repair kit should be considered when you often lose multiple modules at the same time. happens alot on the rear turreted tanks. you got engine on the front. so enemy destroys your track and engine at the same time. and you're dead cause the first shot that hit you destroyed two modules. large med kit when you often lose a crew member. large med kit has always active bonus of reducing crew injury. and automatic fire extinguisher should be used always. it always reduces chances of fire, and by so much that you actually lose credits by using manual fire extinguisher.
I've always been wondering the stupidity of not using automatic fire extinguisher (if you decide to use a fire extingusiher instead of food) because you certanly don't get lit up every game and so don't lose your extinguisher plus if you buy them on a discount it's only 10k credits and it saves you the 300hp on a fire because you can never fat finger the manual fire extinguisher on as fast as the automatic. So in conclusion automatic just improves your game and you lose practically nothing.
@@matufujiwara7493 The automatic fire extinguisher is the only premium consumable what I am using, because I don't get engine fire every battle. But yes multiple module damage is in pain in the a$$, and I am more likely to pay on 1,5k credit and wait 90 sec to repair the modules. And if that is not possible, then the battle ends for me there. For large medkit, is the same logic as small repair kit. I first fix the dedicated crew member (driver, gunner) and after 90 sec the commander for example. But almost all the battles I need fix my track at least, and the majority of the battles need to fix at lest one of the crew members. So for me does not worth this extra 16K credit for medkit and repair. But I wort this for crew increase consumables (food, tea, etc..) which I had to pay after all of my battle now matter what, to get that extra statistics.
@@eemimartikainen6612 The automatic fire extinguisher is the only premium consumables what I am using, and usually get enough from daily missions and events. So I don't spend credit on them.
I was a F2P player until about 2019. Was in college, working three jobs, and I had some extra cash. I buy the improved passes and Christmas loot boxes, so that's about $235 - $245 per year. Both in college, and now that I graduated, I feel that the improved battle pass rewards give you your money's worth and more back to you. As for the Christmas loot boxes. I didn't buy them the first year they were available, but one of my high school friends that has been playing the game with me for 10 years had the idea of making it a gift exchange. I really enjoy that, because it is something we both look forward to in terms of seeing what we get and then grinding out experience for the events.
I basically do the same but only buy the loot boxes. $100/yr gets you everything in the loot boxes (including premium tier 8 tanks) and more than enough gold to upgrade all of the battle passes so you get all the bounty equipment, credit boosters and addl premium days. Frontline and other free events provide other perks and tons of credits and directives which I almost never use. I’ve never had to pay actual $ for premium time beyond the money spent on loot boxes. I play this game way more than I watch Disney plus or HBO/Max both of which cost me more a month than WOT.
@@_mc950_, exactly! I have friends that pay so much money for other games or TV subscriptions. I look at what they pay and I'm thinking to myself that I save compared them.
I’m f2p but I have bought a premium tank roughly once a year to help with the grind. The hardest thing for me f2p is just the amount of time it takes to progress as I can only play 3-6hrs a month.
Come on -_- The average player does 1900 damage with the TVP VS 3100 for you. Most free to play players will lose credits in tier 9-10. Best tanks for FTP are any tier 8 premium they got for free.
@@crevette_farouche Yeah not in reference to you. If the average player is getting 1900 damage a game then that’s just a skill issue and they need to get better at the game.
@@beefjiggler5665the thing is this video seems like it's referencing the average free to play player. Is the average is doing 1900 damage and that loses credits then the whole video is a moot point
Oh boy, I remember saying I'll never pay for a video game, but after I worked on something for the WOT trailer in 2011, tried the game and got hooked, it took me maybe a year until I folded and bought a small amount of gold, but still never used any premium stuff - only in the last few years have I started real spending - bought Prog46, Bourrasque, Strv S1, Amx 1357 for some reason, and quite a few battle passes. Now just waiting for consumable sales, and steering clear of buying tanks at full price. I've only recently gotten TigerII and liked how it performed, love my Obj140 with bond equipment, and enjoying Strv1030 on the way up to tierX. Never really mastered the Tvp, so that's a challenge I'm taking on!
I will say that as a F2p player, the t57 heavy has been a absolute beast for me, the 2 second interclip is incredible. Still holds my highest dmg of 8k
amx 13 105 is currently my favorite tank rn it's not the best but I like the playstyle it enables me and it's a lot of fun builds I use are: vents, vert stabs, fire control system | exhaust, vert stabs, coated optics hoping that I'll reach an 8k-9k dmg record goal someday, currently my highest is 7096
my alltime fav light is the M41 90 and my record is 8,9k dmg and i achived it on the m41 somehow. sadly today the m41 is just not competetive in any way really. elc gets crazy camo and 95% u get matrched against it and then there are the wheeled lights
I am also a f2p player for 3 years maybe. I really enyoj this game and love it by heart. I've got only on birthday or Christmas some premium days that would give me a huge wind in the back. I know what means grinding and it can be really painful sometimes. Now I consider myself as an ok player although my win ratio doesn't show it as good. To sum up and to share my own experience with new players, watch QuickyBaby videos and you will gain a lot of excellent experience and a lot of good tips. Enjoy the game and be team friendly :)
I ´m playing 9 years as F2P, bought T14 few years ago and last two tankmas events I bought the cheapest box set… next year gonna unlock all tanks and activelly playing at least 20 tanks. Cheers and thx for content
Been playing on and off since 2015, I bought a couple low-tier prems in the first couple years but now I just spend ~$20on a few lootboxes at the end of the year. That gives me enough gold to demount equipment for the rest of the year. Bond store premiums help a lot but the credit grind now I'm going through half a dozen stock T8 tanks at once is absolutely miserable.
I love the 13 105. Most LTs don't feel to good in in straight up gunfights with other tanks, but I still feel like the predator when in the French LT. Just knowing I can take out over half the health of a Tx medium in a clip is super reassuring.
Nice video ! I'm a semi-F2P players: I've purchased some premium months and vehicules, but I mostly play the game without premium account nor premium consumables. I've got around 20k games now, some tier X in my garage, and I've also got a lot of tier X unlocked but not bought because I don't have the credits for tanks + equipement. I mostly play tier 8 and 9 as I'm not good enough to play in tier X without loosing credits. I'm currently grinding the Skoda T50 and I really love this tank. I also play a lot with the AMX 13-90, but I didn't bought the 13-105.
Played since Friends and Family. F2P till $99 Christmas deals came out. Been buying ONE, $99-ish deal, every year now since. In 13-ish years, and 45 thousand games played, it is the cheapest entertainment I purchase.
in over 7 years of playing I have spent less than 100 USD on the game. I have purchased only one premium (T-34-85M). Saying that I am at best a tier 6 player, so a casual player by most standards. Gold rounds I see a crutch for the game, so I seldom if ever use them. If I can not pen an adversary, I track if able and fall back. Team tactics win over OP tanks, but finding team players is a challenge.
I do have some premium vehicles (type 59, even90 and 13 57gf are the only premiums I actually play somewhat often) and reward vehicles, but over the last 8 years or so I never bought premium. When I get premium for free I roll out of my premium tanks and credit boosters. At some point I had so much credits that I decided to buy the Monkey King, while owning the 121B. I think you make a fair point that tanks that don't benefit from food all that much are relatively better for f2p. However I think that support vehicles (LT & SPG) also are relatively good for f2p, because their ammo cost over a battle is lower. You basically get assist damage over the premium rounds your allies use.
Since I started playing wot in 2016, I have been f2p all the way through. After learning what to do and what not to do from my first and second account, I made a third account on which I made sure to get a solid start, saving up lots of credits and grinding for free premium tanks. I now have over 64% wins at over 30,000 games. It is technically a reroll, but the account holds over 65% of my total games played. I've still never spent any money on wot but I play with premium food on all tanks, bond, bounty, and experimental equipment mostly, and i fire about 3/4 standard rounds to 1/4 premium rounds (varies depending on the tank). Basically i play almost like a full premium pleb even though I am full f2p. When I started I was going to school and had no money to spend online so I couldn't buy anything even if I wanted. A few years ago I finally started earning and had the opportunity to start spending on wot, but by that point I already had plenty of premium tier 8 tanks and a solid foundation, which made the choice to stay f2p and continue grinding easier. There are for sure premiums I have been very tempted to buy, ones that were never available for free like the Skoda T56 and BZ-176, but I stayed with my f2p roots and didn't buy them (although some friends let me play them for a bit on their account so I at least got to experience them).
I don't spend much maybe 100 bucks a year. I've been playing on and off for 8 years tho so I do have a bunch of the experimental stuff and I have a 53% win rate over 8000 games
99% FTP and playing since Beta. I will only buy at Xmas as a treat to myself about $20AU worth of loot crates. I bought one Tier 8 premium and it was the T34. I do have a LOT of lower-end premium tanks gifted by WOT. I have unlocked about 3/4 of all the tree tree lines. I'll only buy tanks when they are 50% off then once elited, sell them at full price, rinse and repeat. I have bought many tier 10s but have never used them due to the cost. I only really see them as 'end game'. I have put in some time to Battlepass and for the first time had enough tokens to obtain a Tier 9. I am aiming for a second. The tip for Battlepass, it can be achieved by completing the daily tasks even in low-tier 😁 I very sparingly spam gold ammo, never use premium consumables and have managed a 50% WR.
I am free to play player and I am in school so most times I can't take part in the events that require time (to get prems for free as you do). There are periods that I just watch and don't play so Thanks for the videos and streams.
i used to spend more when i was younger, the past 4-5 years i only spent $50 total during various loot box seasons. back when i played almost every day after school and always had premium active i made a lot of credits and this was before credit boosters. nowadays i play mostly tier 9/10 and lose money 90% of the time even without spamming gold because i dont have premium.
My approach for using food is tier 9 and 10 automatically get it, and any premium tanks I have, plus a few exceptions. You can then make the credits back by just playing tier 8 premiums, and have no worries. Even without premium account, with boosters you can still make decent amounts, especially with frontline.
even as someone that spends very little to get some good prem tanks to grind credits I would not dump 3m on anything with out crunching the numbers if it will actually be worth it or unless its a tank I really love
I was completely F2P player when I'm still on college and just before COVID19, I started to pay. Last year, I think I spent around ~$150+ (don't know how much exactly, it's enough box to finish the event's decorations) on Christmas sale and still have enough gold for premium account until this Christmas.
QB Im a FtP player for 10 years ... or lets say from the start of my account. 53% win rate, without any problems. On top of that I almost do not use gold ammo. Very rarely, maybe few shells in 1 of my 10 battles.
I've started out pure F2P but went to buy premium and a handful of prem tanks later on. Spent roughly 200-300€ overall on the game. My main motivation at the time was that progress was becoming too slow. I always grinded 4-8 tank lines in parallel and when you have to pay for more than one T6/7/8 tank every month (in addition to equipment + retraining), I sorely lacked credits to support the XP grind. Paying for premium & prem tanks did alleviate a lot of the credit problems and also helped with XP progression for a bit but ultimately I still spent months of gameplay only to unlock and buy a couple of T9 tanks. 8k games with 51.4% WR but not a single T10 to my name. The main problem I had as a F2P player and even after I've payed for premium time and time again is that progression is still too slow overall. I don't want to spend another couple of months only for a single T10 tank and I sure as hell won't pay any more to the predators that are WG. So in the end I don't need any tips on which T10 is best F2P because realistically it doesn't matter if you don't plan to spend the better part of 5 years just for that tank that's supposedly good for F2P players...
your story is very similar to mine but i moved to PC in 2017 and my motive to not spend money was that on console i had like 3000-4000euros spent and i decided its enough but here we are, im about 200-300euros deep like you and just 2weeks ago got my first tier10 which was the obj140 and last week i got the IS7. Its so hard to get credits when you are grinding to much at a time, right now i have 5lines im trying to go down and all of them need big amounts of credits cuz i need equipment, the next vehicle or the upgraded parts. I play alot in my prems and use boosters and still end up scraping together around 3mil and then 5sec later its all gone and i net the same amount again. and i end up spending like 3days out of a week playing prems just to get credits together and that is with me having around 3-4h to play on each of the 3days
Heya. Playing this game since 2013 and had a couple of year break. But on an average I say I spent around £50 a month plus another £7 with wot+ subscription. So yeah, it's a choice at the end of day. If you have the money to spend without interfering with your life expenses then I think it's ok.
I spent money in past years and now have a mature account. The only money I now spend is around Christmas, for one of those packages that gives me a premium account for a year and more than enough gold for a year. What is that- like $100 for the year?
Thank you for the new video, QB. Looking forward to have a summary video for the F2P account, as we can saw even the skills player like you would still suffering in the F2P account, especially in playing in the blank new tanks. And we all know LT is the P2W class. 😢
I came in to plying the game a short time after the beta ended. Most of the time I was 100 % free to play. But for a few years now, since I am no longer a student, I bought a premium account a few times for holidays and 5 lootboxes from each christmass event since they are around. It would probably account for about 15 Eur a year for last 4 years or so. So I am probably at the same point as you are. Researched all the vehicles (except for the new ones that come out) and now in the process of buying everything. Taking advantage of top of the tree discounts. I do not buy multiple equipment setups for the vehicles, because I would rather buy a new vehicle instead. I am nowhere near the goal - Have probably 50 % of tier X vehicles, 70 % of tier IX. I no longer sell vehicles, so it's real grind to get those credits. And I totally have bounty equipment without the bonus bought. It's damn too expansive.
Really liked th video I have 2 acc and just started a free to play a couple months ago and got my first tier 10 the all mighty Foch B it is amzing f2p.
I am a free to play player since like 2015... i play sometimes a lot, sometimes not even playing any match for a week, depends on my free times i can dedicate to this game. I managed to get a couple of tier 10 vehicles, like 4-5, some tier 9 and 2-3 tier 8. I have to sell all the lower tiers to get higher tier tanks. I have like 2-3 bond and bounty equipment, some of them not upgraded. I could easily buy like 20 more high tier tanks if i had the credit. I dont have the time to get free premium tanks in marathons, cant afford to play that much. I have avarage 6k wtr ( or whatever is that in the garage, or what it shows in platoon aswell). Low and behold, there are tier 10s for what i am grinding like 8-10 months to get. It is so hard to get credit it just makes me wanna quit and stop playing. When i start to grind a line because i like it and it decent and looks fun, that top tier vehicle already getting nerf like 2 times before i get it... it is so bad, i can not play any new tanks or fun tanks because it takes too much time to grind them...
I'm ready to get the TVP50/51 but waiting until i see the CC twitch drops on Nov 22nd CMDR_AF said it will be a CC crew member.. i need QB to be my cmdr.. Great video info like always.
I bought the light packet pre-launch and then I think I've bought some gold twice, I think I spent about 150 euros on my account. I started playing in open beta, last battle was in April 2021, 60 000 battles on that account. I think it was worth it but also I tried to enjoy every battle and I quit when it was no longer fun.
I'm a total F2P, didn't spend a single Euro on the game ... but still have a lot of fun even if grinding tanks is most of the time a nightmare ... And don't get me started on tier 10 losing so much credits !! lucky to have a lot of premium days and boosters to compensate !
I was a free to palyed for 1 year after that i got more surplus bonds so i both tanks like alpine tiger and exchange it for tanks with good and chep standard shells to farm credits like m4 rev my spending is about 5 dollers per year because i rarely spend money on games because I think they temporary when wargaming shutdown thier servers it is gone for good
I am 100% free to play, 80k games with 62% win rate. I do use premium consumables on basically all my tanks, i do however not use any gold rounds whatsoever. When playing a healthy mix of mostly T8 and T9 you still make a sh*tload credits even without a premium account. I have to admit that i don't realy play T10 though... it was fun when you actually met T9 tanks, but pure T10-only matches are boring as hell and my refusal to use gold rounds starts to matter. I am rather a T9 tank in a T9/T10 match than a T10 tank in a T10-only match....
I mostly don't buy anything during the year, but at holiday ops I buy 150 loot crates each year which give me enough gold and premium time for the whole year. That's enough for someone like me with lots of premium tanks. I don't find the wot plus to be that good for me.
Tvp has to be one of the worse tier 10s for credits. I mean if u Have to shoot 1 gold clip it's - 20k credits and most of them will not do damage. If they are all pens then apcr could do the same most of the times...
How Free to play am I? I few months ago I would have said pretty f2p still. I bought the pz. 58 mutz like 6 years ago, and then in 2020 and 2021 I spent 20 bucks each year on some of the Christmas boxes. But last year I spent $100 hoping to get the Iron arnie and bz176. And then over the last 2 months I bought the Iron arnie while it was on sale, and I bought the 50tp resilient because it was such a good deal. So in almost 10 years of playing, i've spent about $250 on the game. Overall I don't think this is bad but thinking about that number makes me reconsider some things with tanks, and that maybe I am a little less free to play now than I would like...
Ik you don't like playing low tiers, but any chance you will ever play tier 5 leopard? its my personal favorite tier 5 tank and would like to get your thoughts on it.
for me in f2p on the tech tree tier x tvp t50/51, leopard, grille 15, bat chat.. amx 105 good but if you have good stat always match up with manticore/EBR. 2 of theme always outspot amx f2p tier ix skoda t50, obj 430, wt pz iv, and leopard pta. tier viii only panthera. t44 good but sometime its need gold
It will take me the rest of my life to unlock every tank. I only get an hour or two on some weekends to play. I work to much and taking care of things around my house, property and helping my in-laws no way her all the tanks. I pretty much play their 8 premiums that I've bought just to be able to play and make credits.
The game is so broken for f2p unless you are a way above average scorer in the game it's not worth playing. I remember playing with my friends when I started 9 years ago and it was fun because everyone had the same grind minus gold ammo. Unless the game is completely reworked (which won't ever happen) it's not worth playing for new f2p players.
I dont play with premium consumebles very often because they are to expensive to maintain but i use what i have so i use the ones i unlocked by playing but if they are out, they are out. I spend around 200€-300€ per year on the game i usally buy the improved battlepass. 100 christmas lootboxes and sometimes one premium tank in the year and sometimes new premium time. I do not spend money for wot+. i useally play 1-2 hours per day just farming dailys and rarely more.
Since the Beta Test.. I did not spend a penny on this game.. but my hours.. .. It's been long journey and hope the game continue to evolve.. but. I am getting old and feeling the time for this game is coming..
the thing is you play your free to play account so often and finish marathons i dont have the time to do that and i unlocked all tier X tanks but credits grind for me is booring thats why i have just 6 tier x tanks
As a COMPLETELY free to play player watching QB grind this game and get basically all tier 10 tanks is painful... Most free to play players don't use ANY gold ammo. We also sometimes don't use equipment on our vehicles coz it's very expensive. Obviously large consumables are a luxury. And we don't exactly play 6-10 hours a day on a single game. QB can do some of these to experience TRUE f2p gameplay. It'll be fun watching him rage at a buncha pixels😂
Gold ammo usually used very sparingly if necessary like killing a tough tank, and you usually don't use food unless you're on Tier 10. The only premium consumable that F2P usually uses is the auto fire extinguisher which doesn't always get used on every battle.
Hmm I understand where this is coming from but I think the only one of these that really matters is the amount that QB plays. I am f2p and used to go into battle without full equipment on lower tier tanks. But now they made equipment for low tiers much cheaper so there's no need to do this. If you can afford a couple million credits for a high tier tank, you can afford an extra million or so credits for the equipment. Just treat it as part of the tank cost. It's a one time investment that will make your tank much better. You have to have patience if you don't want to pay. As for gold ammo perhaps QB is slightly more liberal in his application, but it can be economically feasible for f2p to use gold strategically to deal with tough tanks. Learn to dab the 2 key in certain emergencies and you can find yourself being able to survive longer and do more damage later even switching back to standard rounds. Or, some tanks the regular ammo is so expensive that penning a premium round will be better than bouncing one or two regular rounds.
Another thing for f2p players is to get some t5-t6 premiums from whatever events give them out. While not as good as t8 prems for credits, they pretty much guarantee you a profit as long as you don't spam gold. Once you have a guaranteed source of credits, you can plan out your economy better.
I'm playing since 2014 and ONLY spend 20€ on my account and 20more to buy a premium to my brother. But my PC died 2 years ago and cant fix it I have 5 kids. But still watch every of kb videos and miss my wot days
I just want to clarify something on my party, I played WoT since 2012 and haven't spend any on the game until now but i use every resources in game like Gold and Premium Consumable does this mean am no longer Free to Play? i get my gold before on CW and Some events and add the freebies of Premium Consumables and Tanks on Mission / Events.
i personally have so much bounty equipment but out of all of the stuff i only have 2 items upgraded and i do spend money on the game but only on premiums and ussualy the ones i have had some experience with on a friends account and i ended up liking the vehicle. I have had my PC account since 2017 but just 2weeks ago i got my first tier 10 and alltogether have probably spent around 200-300euros on the game on preium tanks and premium time. Im not even going to talk about my console account because that one has like 3000-4000euros spent on it over the years and i havent even been on the game since 2019
I'm a f2p on everygame, it's not that I'm that poor or I wouldn't take a great deal but my country has no way to pay for things online. so I'm stuck like this
The best fully F2P advice is to just stay away from tier 10. Not only standard ammo and repair costs are terrible, without using gold you're going to be massively disadvantaged since it's the standard go to ammo for years now. Get some fun tier 8s for frontline (unfortunately all the really fun ones are premiums, thanks to WG balancing department being clearly under sales and marketing department) and play randoms in 5-7. God forbid playing standard tier 8 vehicles in randoms, this tier is inflated with statistically stronger premium vehicles. I spend about 30€ per year on average since starting the account in 2014. I think now I spend mostly because I can, I do not really need more premium vehicles and due to not playing on tier 10 I do not need premium account to have a slow and steady income of credits. I run large repair kits and medkits in all vehicles but rarely use food. I think food should be nerfed to 5%.
I am completely free to play. I can't afford equipment on most tanks, and can't afford to shoot gold because i so rarely have premium. It's a pain in the ass playing against better premium tanks shooting premium ammo, with the best equipment and crews. I'm a decent player, even with this, but when my tanks are so much worse than most it just takes the fun out of the game completely.
Damn, using an accuracy device on the TVP? an exhaust would be much better, at least most of the times. In general, the accuracy device is probably the most overrated piece of equipment ever, it only makes sense on tanks like the FV 4005. Because the accuracy improvement you get is just 5%, which means for example if you have 0.4 accuracy it will only go down to 0.38. As if this is worth an entire equipment slot. The bonus the accuracy device gives should be like 10%, so that the accuracy improvement is actually noticeable.
Im not ftp, but i try to oeep spending to a minimum. Battle pass and the rare premium if I i can get it at discount to help with credit earning. Its worked for me this far.
Are we just gonna ignore falling Manticore at 5:25? Bro was trying that good old kamikaze strategy XD
bro misscalculated xd
homie was like ``Miss input, miss input!!!!!´` behind his screen once he realized he missed XD
i doubt the manti would have done much to the jageroo anyway lol
@@Maelsstrom if his tank's wreck got stuck on top of the jageroo it would have drained his HP unless the jageroo shakes the corpse off of him
lol saw your comment at 5:17 would not have noticed that
I am a completely f2p player for 10+ years. And I can feel what you meant about the grinding. For the first 9 years I did not use gold ammo, and I am still not using premium consumables at all. Btw TVP is also one of my favorites :)
i respect you being f2p player. but premium consumables should be used when needed.
i am talking about large repair kit. large med kit and automatic fire extinguisher.
large repair kit should be considered when you often lose multiple modules at the same time. happens alot on the rear turreted tanks. you got engine on the front. so enemy destroys your track and engine at the same time. and you're dead cause the first shot that hit you destroyed two modules.
large med kit when you often lose a crew member. large med kit has always active bonus of reducing crew injury.
and automatic fire extinguisher should be used always. it always reduces chances of fire, and by so much that you actually lose credits by using manual fire extinguisher.
fun part is how you would be f2p if you used all of it too.
just have less credits :)
I've always been wondering the stupidity of not using automatic fire extinguisher (if you decide to use a fire extingusiher instead of food) because you certanly don't get lit up every game and so don't lose your extinguisher plus if you buy them on a discount it's only 10k credits and it saves you the 300hp on a fire because you can never fat finger the manual fire extinguisher on as fast as the automatic. So in conclusion automatic just improves your game and you lose practically nothing.
@@matufujiwara7493 The automatic fire extinguisher is the only premium consumable what I am using, because I don't get engine fire every battle. But yes multiple module damage is in pain in the a$$, and I am more likely to pay on 1,5k credit and wait 90 sec to repair the modules. And if that is not possible, then the battle ends for me there. For large medkit, is the same logic as small repair kit. I first fix the dedicated crew member (driver, gunner) and after 90 sec the commander for example.
But almost all the battles I need fix my track at least, and the majority of the battles need to fix at lest one of the crew members. So for me does not worth this extra 16K credit for medkit and repair.
But I wort this for crew increase consumables (food, tea, etc..) which I had to pay after all of my battle now matter what, to get that extra statistics.
@@eemimartikainen6612 The automatic fire extinguisher is the only premium consumables what I am using, and usually get enough from daily missions and events. So I don't spend credit on them.
I was a F2P player until about 2019. Was in college, working three jobs, and I had some extra cash. I buy the improved passes and Christmas loot boxes, so that's about $235 - $245 per year. Both in college, and now that I graduated, I feel that the improved battle pass rewards give you your money's worth and more back to you. As for the Christmas loot boxes. I didn't buy them the first year they were available, but one of my high school friends that has been playing the game with me for 10 years had the idea of making it a gift exchange. I really enjoy that, because it is something we both look forward to in terms of seeing what we get and then grinding out experience for the events.
I basically do the same but only buy the loot boxes. $100/yr gets you everything in the loot boxes (including premium tier 8 tanks) and more than enough gold to upgrade all of the battle passes so you get all the bounty equipment, credit boosters and addl premium days. Frontline and other free events provide other perks and tons of credits and directives which I almost never use. I’ve never had to pay actual $ for premium time beyond the money spent on loot boxes. I play this game way more than I watch Disney plus or HBO/Max both of which cost me more a month than WOT.
@@_mc950_, exactly! I have friends that pay so much money for other games or TV subscriptions. I look at what they pay and I'm thinking to myself that I save compared them.
I’m f2p but I have bought a premium tank roughly once a year to help with the grind. The hardest thing for me f2p is just the amount of time it takes to progress as I can only play 3-6hrs a month.
do you not understand the meaning of free to play? lmfao
"I'm a virgin, but I've had sex a few times" 🤣
Come on -_- The average player does 1900 damage with the TVP VS 3100 for you. Most free to play players will lose credits in tier 9-10. Best tanks for FTP are any tier 8 premium they got for free.
Skill issue and get better at the game
@@beefjiggler5665 2266wn8 and 55.6%win rate in my last 1000 games. Pretty sure i'm doing ok.
@@crevette_farouche you do not belong in the average bracket.
@@crevette_farouche
Yeah not in reference to you. If the average player is getting 1900 damage a game then that’s just a skill issue and they need to get better at the game.
@@beefjiggler5665the thing is this video seems like it's referencing the average free to play player. Is the average is doing 1900 damage and that loses credits then the whole video is a moot point
Oh boy, I remember saying I'll never pay for a video game, but after I worked on something for the WOT trailer in 2011, tried the game and got hooked, it took me maybe a year until I folded and bought a small amount of gold, but still never used any premium stuff - only in the last few years have I started real spending - bought Prog46, Bourrasque, Strv S1, Amx 1357 for some reason, and quite a few battle passes. Now just waiting for consumable sales, and steering clear of buying tanks at full price.
I've only recently gotten TigerII and liked how it performed, love my Obj140 with bond equipment, and enjoying Strv1030 on the way up to tierX.
Never really mastered the Tvp, so that's a challenge I'm taking on!
I will say that as a F2p player, the t57 heavy has been a absolute beast for me, the 2 second interclip is incredible. Still holds my highest dmg of 8k
amx 13 105 is currently my favorite tank rn
it's not the best but I like the playstyle it enables me and it's a lot of fun
builds I use are: vents, vert stabs, fire control system | exhaust, vert stabs, coated optics
hoping that I'll reach an 8k-9k dmg record goal someday, currently my highest is 7096
my alltime fav light is the M41 90 and my record is 8,9k dmg and i achived it on the m41 somehow. sadly today the m41 is just not competetive in any way really. elc gets crazy camo and 95% u get matrched against it and then there are the wheeled lights
I love my t110e5. The grind to it wasnt particularly painful and it is so great for multi role balance
I am also a f2p player for 3 years maybe. I really enyoj this game and love it by heart. I've got only on birthday or Christmas some premium days that would give me a huge wind in the back. I know what means grinding and it can be really painful sometimes. Now I consider myself as an ok player although my win ratio doesn't show it as good. To sum up and to share my own experience with new players, watch QuickyBaby videos and you will gain a lot of excellent experience and a lot of good tips. Enjoy the game and be team friendly :)
I ´m playing 9 years as F2P, bought T14 few years ago and last two tankmas events I bought the cheapest box set… next year gonna unlock all tanks and activelly playing at least 20 tanks. Cheers and thx for content
Been playing on and off since 2015, I bought a couple low-tier prems in the first couple years but now I just spend ~$20on a few lootboxes at the end of the year. That gives me enough gold to demount equipment for the rest of the year. Bond store premiums help a lot but the credit grind now I'm going through half a dozen stock T8 tanks at once is absolutely miserable.
That AMX game was an absolute master class on display, makes me rethink dusting it off from my garage over Manticore or the T-100 LT
I love the 13 105. Most LTs don't feel to good in in straight up gunfights with other tanks, but I still feel like the predator when in the French LT. Just knowing I can take out over half the health of a Tx medium in a clip is super reassuring.
Nice video ! I'm a semi-F2P players: I've purchased some premium months and vehicules, but I mostly play the game without premium account nor premium consumables. I've got around 20k games now, some tier X in my garage, and I've also got a lot of tier X unlocked but not bought because I don't have the credits for tanks + equipement. I mostly play tier 8 and 9 as I'm not good enough to play in tier X without loosing credits. I'm currently grinding the Skoda T50 and I really love this tank. I also play a lot with the AMX 13-90, but I didn't bought the 13-105.
Played since Friends and Family. F2P till $99 Christmas deals came out. Been buying ONE, $99-ish deal, every year now since. In 13-ish years, and 45 thousand games played, it is the cheapest entertainment I purchase.
in over 7 years of playing I have spent less than 100 USD on the game. I have purchased only one premium (T-34-85M). Saying that I am at best a tier 6 player, so a casual player by most standards. Gold rounds I see a crutch for the game, so I seldom if ever use them. If I can not pen an adversary, I track if able and fall back. Team tactics win over OP tanks, but finding team players is a challenge.
I do have some premium vehicles (type 59, even90 and 13 57gf are the only premiums I actually play somewhat often) and reward vehicles, but over the last 8 years or so I never bought premium. When I get premium for free I roll out of my premium tanks and credit boosters. At some point I had so much credits that I decided to buy the Monkey King, while owning the 121B.
I think you make a fair point that tanks that don't benefit from food all that much are relatively better for f2p. However I think that support vehicles (LT & SPG) also are relatively good for f2p, because their ammo cost over a battle is lower. You basically get assist damage over the premium rounds your allies use.
im f2p as well and those two are my favourite tanks
After every shot i take i immediately hit the reload command to let people know when im reloading
Since I started playing wot in 2016, I have been f2p all the way through. After learning what to do and what not to do from my first and second account, I made a third account on which I made sure to get a solid start, saving up lots of credits and grinding for free premium tanks. I now have over 64% wins at over 30,000 games. It is technically a reroll, but the account holds over 65% of my total games played. I've still never spent any money on wot but I play with premium food on all tanks, bond, bounty, and experimental equipment mostly, and i fire about 3/4 standard rounds to 1/4 premium rounds (varies depending on the tank). Basically i play almost like a full premium pleb even though I am full f2p.
When I started I was going to school and had no money to spend online so I couldn't buy anything even if I wanted. A few years ago I finally started earning and had the opportunity to start spending on wot, but by that point I already had plenty of premium tier 8 tanks and a solid foundation, which made the choice to stay f2p and continue grinding easier. There are for sure premiums I have been very tempted to buy, ones that were never available for free like the Skoda T56 and BZ-176, but I stayed with my f2p roots and didn't buy them (although some friends let me play them for a bit on their account so I at least got to experience them).
I don't spend much maybe 100 bucks a year. I've been playing on and off for 8 years tho so I do have a bunch of the experimental stuff and I have a 53% win rate over 8000 games
99% FTP and playing since Beta. I will only buy at Xmas as a treat to myself about $20AU worth of loot crates. I bought one Tier 8 premium and it was the T34. I do have a LOT of lower-end premium tanks gifted by WOT. I have unlocked about 3/4 of all the tree tree lines. I'll only buy tanks when they are 50% off then once elited, sell them at full price, rinse and repeat. I have bought many tier 10s but have never used them due to the cost. I only really see them as 'end game'.
I have put in some time to Battlepass and for the first time had enough tokens to obtain a Tier 9. I am aiming for a second. The tip for Battlepass, it can be achieved by completing the daily tasks even in low-tier 😁
I very sparingly spam gold ammo, never use premium consumables and have managed a 50% WR.
I am free to play player and I am in school so most times I can't take part in the events that require time (to get prems for free as you do). There are periods that I just watch and don't play so Thanks for the videos and streams.
i used to spend more when i was younger, the past 4-5 years i only spent $50 total during various loot box seasons. back when i played almost every day after school and always had premium active i made a lot of credits and this was before credit boosters. nowadays i play mostly tier 9/10 and lose money 90% of the time even without spamming gold because i dont have premium.
Fully free to play here. Bought the odd day of premium on my USA account but none on my EU account.
I play Wot since 2011, I spend around 400€ since then. Last time I spend money was Christmas 2021.
I play both WOT and WOWS. I stopped spending money on both games a few years ago.
My least used consumeable is premium fire extinguisher i sell them when i got another 200+ from daylies.
i just got the TVP T 50/51 yesterday! have grinded like a maniac for weeks now to get it from the Tier 7!!
My approach for using food is tier 9 and 10 automatically get it, and any premium tanks I have, plus a few exceptions. You can then make the credits back by just playing tier 8 premiums, and have no worries. Even without premium account, with boosters you can still make decent amounts, especially with frontline.
even as someone that spends very little to get some good prem tanks to grind credits I would not dump 3m on anything with out crunching the numbers if it will actually be worth it or unless its a tank I really love
I was completely F2P player when I'm still on college and just before COVID19, I started to pay.
Last year, I think I spent around ~$150+ (don't know how much exactly, it's enough box to finish the event's decorations) on Christmas sale and still have enough gold for premium account until this Christmas.
I was free to play. Then I uninstalled the game. That is the ultimate free to play
QB Im a FtP player for 10 years ... or lets say from the start of my account. 53% win rate, without any problems. On top of that I almost do not use gold ammo. Very rarely, maybe few shells in 1 of my 10 battles.
I have never spend any money in World of tanks and I play it for 7 years now!😂
I've started out pure F2P but went to buy premium and a handful of prem tanks later on. Spent roughly 200-300€ overall on the game.
My main motivation at the time was that progress was becoming too slow. I always grinded 4-8 tank lines in parallel and when you have to pay for more than one T6/7/8 tank every month (in addition to equipment + retraining), I sorely lacked credits to support the XP grind. Paying for premium & prem tanks did alleviate a lot of the credit problems and also helped with XP progression for a bit but ultimately I still spent months of gameplay only to unlock and buy a couple of T9 tanks. 8k games with 51.4% WR but not a single T10 to my name. The main problem I had as a F2P player and even after I've payed for premium time and time again is that progression is still too slow overall. I don't want to spend another couple of months only for a single T10 tank and I sure as hell won't pay any more to the predators that are WG. So in the end I don't need any tips on which T10 is best F2P because realistically it doesn't matter if you don't plan to spend the better part of 5 years just for that tank that's supposedly good for F2P players...
your story is very similar to mine but i moved to PC in 2017 and my motive to not spend money was that on console i had like 3000-4000euros spent and i decided its enough but here we are, im about 200-300euros deep like you and just 2weeks ago got my first tier10 which was the obj140 and last week i got the IS7. Its so hard to get credits when you are grinding to much at a time, right now i have 5lines im trying to go down and all of them need big amounts of credits cuz i need equipment, the next vehicle or the upgraded parts. I play alot in my prems and use boosters and still end up scraping together around 3mil and then 5sec later its all gone and i net the same amount again. and i end up spending like 3days out of a week playing prems just to get credits together and that is with me having around 3-4h to play on each of the 3days
Heya. Playing this game since 2013 and had a couple of year break. But on an average I say I spent around £50 a month plus another £7 with wot+ subscription.
So yeah, it's a choice at the end of day. If you have the money to spend without interfering with your life expenses then I think it's ok.
I spent money in past years and now have a mature account. The only money I now spend is around Christmas, for one of those packages that gives me a premium account for a year and more than enough gold for a year. What is that- like $100 for the year?
Thank you for the new video, QB. Looking forward to have a summary video for the F2P account, as we can saw even the skills player like you would still suffering in the F2P account, especially in playing in the blank new tanks. And we all know LT is the P2W class. 😢
I came in to plying the game a short time after the beta ended. Most of the time I was 100 % free to play. But for a few years now, since I am no longer a student, I bought a premium account a few times for holidays and 5 lootboxes from each christmass event since they are around. It would probably account for about 15 Eur a year for last 4 years or so. So I am probably at the same point as you are. Researched all the vehicles (except for the new ones that come out) and now in the process of buying everything. Taking advantage of top of the tree discounts. I do not buy multiple equipment setups for the vehicles, because I would rather buy a new vehicle instead. I am nowhere near the goal - Have probably 50 % of tier X vehicles, 70 % of tier IX. I no longer sell vehicles, so it's real grind to get those credits. And I totally have bounty equipment without the bonus bought. It's damn too expansive.
Really liked th video I have 2 acc and just started a free to play a couple months ago and got my first tier 10 the all mighty Foch B it is amzing f2p.
Last 3 years I have been completely free to play. During my time in WoT I've bought a few premium tanks but I've never purchased prem account.
Researching it RN!!!
Fun fact: the only light tanks good in onslaught is amx 13 105 and rhm panz after buff
This longer form of content is really nice
I am a free to play player since like 2015... i play sometimes a lot, sometimes not even playing any match for a week, depends on my free times i can dedicate to this game. I managed to get a couple of tier 10 vehicles, like 4-5, some tier 9 and 2-3 tier 8. I have to sell all the lower tiers to get higher tier tanks. I have like 2-3 bond and bounty equipment, some of them not upgraded. I could easily buy like 20 more high tier tanks if i had the credit. I dont have the time to get free premium tanks in marathons, cant afford to play that much. I have avarage 6k wtr ( or whatever is that in the garage, or what it shows in platoon aswell). Low and behold, there are tier 10s for what i am grinding like 8-10 months to get. It is so hard to get credit it just makes me wanna quit and stop playing. When i start to grind a line because i like it and it decent and looks fun, that top tier vehicle already getting nerf like 2 times before i get it... it is so bad, i can not play any new tanks or fun tanks because it takes too much time to grind them...
I'm ready to get the TVP50/51 but waiting until i see the CC twitch drops on Nov 22nd CMDR_AF said it will be a CC crew member.. i need QB to be my cmdr.. Great video info like always.
What special is on 22 Nov?
I'm a blitz player that's been mostly free to play but I've also bought gold every now and then
Oh yea cause those both tanks are such good grinds and you can definitely play them without all the field mods...
I bought the light packet pre-launch and then I think I've bought some gold twice, I think I spent about 150 euros on my account. I started playing in open beta, last battle was in April 2021, 60 000 battles on that account. I think it was worth it but also I tried to enjoy every battle and I quit when it was no longer fun.
I'm a total F2P, didn't spend a single Euro on the game ... but still have a lot of fun even if grinding tanks is most of the time a nightmare ... And don't get me started on tier 10 losing so much credits !! lucky to have a lot of premium days and boosters to compensate !
I was a free to palyed for 1 year after that i got more surplus bonds so i both tanks like alpine tiger and exchange it for tanks with good and chep standard shells to farm credits like m4 rev my spending is about 5 dollers per year because i rarely spend money on games because I think they temporary when wargaming shutdown thier servers it is gone for good
I am 100% free to play, 80k games with 62% win rate. I do use premium consumables on basically all my tanks, i do however not use any gold rounds whatsoever. When playing a healthy mix of mostly T8 and T9 you still make a sh*tload credits even without a premium account. I have to admit that i don't realy play T10 though... it was fun when you actually met T9 tanks, but pure T10-only matches are boring as hell and my refusal to use gold rounds starts to matter. I am rather a T9 tank in a T9/T10 match than a T10 tank in a T10-only match....
That fallen manticore as funny af😂
I mostly don't buy anything during the year, but at holiday ops I buy 150 loot crates each year which give me enough gold and premium time for the whole year. That's enough for someone like me with lots of premium tanks. I don't find the wot plus to be that good for me.
Ive probably spent £500 since 2011. Been totally F2P for the last 4 years though as i only tend to play for holiday ops these days.
Tvp has to be one of the worse tier 10s for credits. I mean if u Have to shoot 1 gold clip it's - 20k credits and most of them will not do damage. If they are all pens then apcr could do the same most of the times...
0:31 i cannot believe how long he just didn't see the manticore
How Free to play am I? I few months ago I would have said pretty f2p still. I bought the pz. 58 mutz like 6 years ago, and then in 2020 and 2021 I spent 20 bucks each year on some of the Christmas boxes. But last year I spent $100 hoping to get the Iron arnie and bz176. And then over the last 2 months I bought the Iron arnie while it was on sale, and I bought the 50tp resilient because it was such a good deal. So in almost 10 years of playing, i've spent about $250 on the game. Overall I don't think this is bad but thinking about that number makes me reconsider some things with tanks, and that maybe I am a little less free to play now than I would like...
im f2p and my favourites are grille if i want the credits and minotauro when i want the XP
Love the video qb thank you for the great content
Ik you don't like playing low tiers, but any chance you will ever play tier 5 leopard? its my personal favorite tier 5 tank and would like to get your thoughts on it.
for me in f2p on the tech tree
tier x tvp t50/51, leopard, grille 15, bat chat..
amx 105 good but if you have good stat always match up with manticore/EBR. 2 of theme always outspot amx
f2p tier ix skoda t50, obj 430, wt pz iv, and leopard pta.
tier viii only panthera. t44 good but sometime its need gold
I am a mainly F2P but I do buy the occasional cases, so in 6 years i have probably spent around 100 - 150 USD on cases
It will take me the rest of my life to unlock every tank. I only get an hour or two on some weekends to play. I work to much and taking care of things around my house, property and helping my in-laws no way her all the tanks. I pretty much play their 8 premiums that I've bought just to be able to play and make credits.
We all should start to play only for free untill they fix the MM 🙂
For a split second I read the title as "The Best Fap"
The 3N challenge really has taken a toll...
5:26 lmao the manticore crashed
The game is so broken for f2p unless you are a way above average scorer in the game it's not worth playing. I remember playing with my friends when I started 9 years ago and it was fun because everyone had the same grind minus gold ammo. Unless the game is completely reworked (which won't ever happen) it's not worth playing for new f2p players.
In all my years of playing i have spent..... £16? Well whatever the thunderbolt sherman cost when it was first introduced back in 2015 or something.
dodged that, avoided that.... you mean they missed.
You mean RNGesus deflected their shell.
I dont play with premium consumebles very often because they are to expensive to maintain but i use what i have so i use the ones i unlocked by playing but if they are out, they are out. I spend around 200€-300€ per year on the game i usally buy the improved battlepass. 100 christmas lootboxes and sometimes one premium tank in the year and sometimes new premium time. I do not spend money for wot+. i useally play 1-2 hours per day just farming dailys and rarely more.
Wow Qb your hair looks majestic today 👌👌
Since the Beta Test.. I did not spend a penny on this game.. but my hours.. .. It's been long journey and hope the game continue to evolve.. but. I am getting old and feeling the time for this game is coming..
I mainly only spend money on wot+ and upgraded BP for the extra prem time and rewards
the thing is you play your free to play account so often and finish marathons
i dont have the time to do that and i unlocked all tier X tanks but credits grind for me is booring thats why i have just 6 tier x tanks
Free to play - To make credits and be able to play I never use gold (do not own any) and never use consumables.
As a COMPLETELY free to play player watching QB grind this game and get basically all tier 10 tanks is painful... Most free to play players don't use ANY gold ammo. We also sometimes don't use equipment on our vehicles coz it's very expensive. Obviously large consumables are a luxury. And we don't exactly play 6-10 hours a day on a single game. QB can do some of these to experience TRUE f2p gameplay. It'll be fun watching him rage at a buncha pixels😂
Gold ammo usually used very sparingly if necessary like killing a tough tank, and you usually don't use food unless you're on Tier 10. The only premium consumable that F2P usually uses is the auto fire extinguisher which doesn't always get used on every battle.
QB's account is also COMPLETELY free to play and a TRUE f2p account.
Hmm I understand where this is coming from but I think the only one of these that really matters is the amount that QB plays. I am f2p and used to go into battle without full equipment on lower tier tanks. But now they made equipment for low tiers much cheaper so there's no need to do this. If you can afford a couple million credits for a high tier tank, you can afford an extra million or so credits for the equipment. Just treat it as part of the tank cost. It's a one time investment that will make your tank much better. You have to have patience if you don't want to pay. As for gold ammo perhaps QB is slightly more liberal in his application, but it can be economically feasible for f2p to use gold strategically to deal with tough tanks. Learn to dab the 2 key in certain emergencies and you can find yourself being able to survive longer and do more damage later even switching back to standard rounds. Or, some tanks the regular ammo is so expensive that penning a premium round will be better than bouncing one or two regular rounds.
Another thing for f2p players is to get some t5-t6 premiums from whatever events give them out. While not as good as t8 prems for credits, they pretty much guarantee you a profit as long as you don't spam gold. Once you have a guaranteed source of credits, you can plan out your economy better.
@@DenalyMin You do have a point...
I'm playing since 2014 and ONLY spend 20€ on my account and 20more to buy a premium to my brother. But my PC died 2 years ago and cant fix it I have 5 kids. But still watch every of kb videos and miss my wot days
I just want to clarify something on my party, I played WoT since 2012 and haven't spend any on the game until now but i use every resources in game like Gold and Premium Consumable does this mean am no longer Free to Play? i get my gold before on CW and Some events and add the freebies of Premium Consumables and Tanks on Mission / Events.
i personally have so much bounty equipment but out of all of the stuff i only have 2 items upgraded and i do spend money on the game but only on premiums and ussualy the ones i have had some experience with on a friends account and i ended up liking the vehicle. I have had my PC account since 2017 but just 2weeks ago i got my first tier 10 and alltogether have probably spent around 200-300euros on the game on preium tanks and premium time. Im not even going to talk about my console account because that one has like 3000-4000euros spent on it over the years and i havent even been on the game since 2019
My favourite F2P tank is the T95, don't have any premium equipment on it & carry almost no gold rounds and I always have lots of fun in it.
I'm a f2p on everygame, it's not that I'm that poor or I wouldn't take a great deal but my country has no way to pay for things online. so I'm stuck like this
The best fully F2P advice is to just stay away from tier 10. Not only standard ammo and repair costs are terrible, without using gold you're going to be massively disadvantaged since it's the standard go to ammo for years now. Get some fun tier 8s for frontline (unfortunately all the really fun ones are premiums, thanks to WG balancing department being clearly under sales and marketing department) and play randoms in 5-7. God forbid playing standard tier 8 vehicles in randoms, this tier is inflated with statistically stronger premium vehicles.
I spend about 30€ per year on average since starting the account in 2014. I think now I spend mostly because I can, I do not really need more premium vehicles and due to not playing on tier 10 I do not need premium account to have a slow and steady income of credits. I run large repair kits and medkits in all vehicles but rarely use food. I think food should be nerfed to 5%.
I just would love if the tvp's standard shells would get like 10-15 more pen.. close similar like a leo or something..
lol?
I am completely free to play. I can't afford equipment on most tanks, and can't afford to shoot gold because i so rarely have premium. It's a pain in the ass playing against better premium tanks shooting premium ammo, with the best equipment and crews.
I'm a decent player, even with this, but when my tanks are so much worse than most it just takes the fun out of the game completely.
I bought maybe 3 premiums years ago. Now I only buy premium account once or twice a year, then again I hardly play anymore.
I'm free to play if you consider twitch prime being free to play. Although I don't pay for it so it's still free for me anyway.
The thing that we need to talk about wich tank is the best tank for free player is why i left game long time ago .
great video qb
T67 is my favorite F2P
Seal clubber detected 😂
@@Natuh21yeah😂😂bet hes got 50k+ games and 45k on t67
"So you can support the enemy team", QB 2023
F2P for almost 10 years. Getting credits is a pain. You need to play with some specific tank which suites you well to make it
Expected actual f2p premiums here...as you started telling about money grinding... :D
Yeah I pay less than $100 a year nor e like $40. Very difficult sometimes.
I've been playing since 2011 and I've probably spent about 300 euros in some premium tanks
Playing game from 2012 Only money that I spent was 20€ in order to get obj780
Damn, using an accuracy device on the TVP? an exhaust would be much better, at least most of the times. In general, the accuracy device is probably the most overrated piece of equipment ever, it only makes sense on tanks like the FV 4005. Because the accuracy improvement you get is just 5%, which means for example if you have 0.4 accuracy it will only go down to 0.38. As if this is worth an entire equipment slot. The bonus the accuracy device gives should be like 10%, so that the accuracy improvement is actually noticeable.
