My Two problems with this game's economy.

Best money maker is Hosho. Low life targets, 2 TB squad, barely any AA and plenty of noob targets. I get a regulare 150K+ creds per battle with confederate for XP boost. Have not found anything better atm.

 

I make 300-400k profit per game in my T10 ships =p

 

But on a serious note, the economy is like this for a reason. It's to populate the lower tiers. Right now most people are simply at lower tiers, because the game is new. In a year or so even very casual players will reach T10. In order to allow new players to actually find a match the economy has to work in a way to force you to play lower tiers.

 

It's like the problem in MMOs: Eventually the low tier areas are dead and you barely see anyone there, because everyone reached max level.

Well, while tier 8 and up shouldnt be profitable as they are not meant to be, but i see no reason why a tier 8 premium shouldnt.

Also, WoT does not seem to have lack of people playing in the lower tiers. Simply because playing on the lower tiers as opposed to high-tier play is just more fun and stress-releasing. And in WoT you can make decent credits with tier 8 even with mediocre play.

Mhm, well I can imagine that for WoT, but not for WoWs. Only thing that is REALLY fun is low tier DD, because high tier they are just super-meh.

 

I don't know about premium ships, as I have neither Atago nor Tirpitz and won't get either (except if for some reason I get it as ranked reward). Though I thought they were making profit? What's their repair cost? Can't be worse than the 400k I have to pay when my Midway sinks.

Point of discussion is the profitability of tier 8 premiums compared to tier 5 premiums. Not my skill level.

 

In WoT tier 8 premiums gain ridiculous amount of money, even if you fail and do like 1k damage. In WoWs tier 8 premiums are basically useless for grinding credits. And what is the point of a tier 8 premium if you cant grind credits with it? What is the point of spending 40 EUR  on a ship if its just gonna rust in the harbor once the novelty of sailing it wears out?

 

You really cant compare them. You never played tier8 and + ships. So you cant compare them much. But it is a known thing that old tier 8 premiums lacks money earning

Lets just say that if you need credits, you would opt for a Murmansk battle instead of an Atago. Which, considering you paid like four times more for the Atago, seems ridiculous.

 

Also, if you are down, try playing the St. Louis.

3 man divison with some of the best players playing Umikaze (t2) and unleashing 4 torps every 20sec is more fun than St. Louis =P.

 

Reward is crappy tho.

but he isnt wrong as the mogami is a better credit earner that the atago as for a a start its easier to play because of its gun setup it has better aa, ok its torp setup is worse but that's it that is the ONLY decent thing about it and that one thing isnt really that good
