HOW TO PLAY WOT AS A F2P PLAYER§

I) Premiums§

Our biggest disadvantage (yes I am F2P too) is that people pay and have a way easier access to premiums

so what you're going to want to do is to never spend the bonds you get, they are really important, what you need to do is wait to get at least 7k to 8k bonds to get a nice tier VII or VIII premium, you'll be able to farm credits this way.

What i always recommend is to get a tank (doesn't matter if it's a premium or not) that you perform well in even if it's not to grind a line, keep that tank, play it when you have bad games, it will make the grind less annoying and you'll make some credits on the way.

For me it would be the IS-3-II it's really fun to play, especially doubling and ramming someone can feel good XD.

II) Consumables§

As a F2P player you'll face what being broke feels like, at least once, trust me, if you are in this situation, thr worst thing to do is to sell high tier tanks, because the tanks you sell would have made you credits by playing them, be patient, go in the Depot, sell consumables you don't need like normal fire extinguishers, you never use them, or even food if you're like me. The goal is to at least reach 2mil or 3mil on average then if you stay in that spot you'll be good to make investments on equipment etc, and get more credits.

Pay very close attention to when there are global reductions in the shop these are extremely important, they don't come often, for me, i usually buy 300 medkits 300 repair kits, some big repair kits for the higher tier, then you're set for a while, and even if you only have 1.5 mil for an example buy at least 100 of each type (small ones)

III) Ammunition§

Yes gold ammo, the controversial part of wot, what do you do ? take full standard ammo, and get 5-15 rounds of gold, try it out, you're in game encounter an armored vehicle, you fire it, get some damage you realise that investment made you make more credits, but it's important to know, don't be a gold spamming noob (derp guns not included) gold ammo is a tool, either you're wise and use it at the right moment of fire only gold and make no credits, if you have around 0-1mil take 5-10 rounds and use them wisely, if you have 2-3mil use 15-20 and over, you choose.

don't forget to get the intuition perk it's really important!
