Are we just gonna ignore falling Manticore at 5:25? Bro was trying that good old kamikaze strategy XD

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 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’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.

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.

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 have never spend any money in World of tanks and I play it for 7 years now!😂

I love my t110e5. The grind to it wasnt particularly painful and it is so great for multi role balance

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

i just got the TVP T 50/51 yesterday! have grinded like a maniac for weeks now to get it from the Tier 7!!

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 :)

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 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.

Love the video qb thank you for the great content

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.

My least used consumeable is premium fire extinguisher i sell them when i got another 200+ from daylies.

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 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.

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 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 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 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.

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.

Researching it RN!!!

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.

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).

After every shot i take i immediately hit the reload command to let people know when im reloading

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

I play Wot since 2011, I spend around 400€ since then. Last time I spend money was Christmas 2021.

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.

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 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.

I play both WOT and WOWS. I stopped spending money on both games a few years ago.

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.

Oh yea cause those both tanks are such good grinds and you can definitely play them without all the field mods...

That fallen manticore as funny af😂

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

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 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

im f2p as well and those two are my favourite tanks

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.

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 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?

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 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.

I'm a blitz player that's been mostly free to play but I've also bought gold every now and then

This longer form of content is really nice

I just would love if the tvp's standard shells would get like 10-15 more pen.. close similar like a leo or something..

Wow Qb your hair looks majestic today 👌👌

I mainly only spend money on wot+ and upgraded BP for the extra prem time and rewards

Fun fact: the only light tanks good in onslaught is amx 13 105 and rhm panz after buff

Fully free to play here. Bought the odd day of premium on my USA account but none on my EU account.

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...

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.

great video qb

For a split second I read the title as "The Best Fap" The 3N challenge really has taken a toll...

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

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 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

Expected actual f2p premiums here...as you started telling about money grinding... :D

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.

Great video.

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.

im f2p and my favourites are grille if i want the credits and minotauro when i want the XP

Great info!

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...

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.

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.

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..

5:26 lmao the manticore crashed

my favorite is the super conq

I was free to play. Then I uninstalled the game. That is the ultimate free to play

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 .

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...

I bought maybe 3 premiums years ago. Now I only buy premium account once or twice a year, then again I hardly play anymore.

We all should start to play only for free untill they fix the MM 🙂

i have been playing since 2015 and i have 159 premium tanks :). Some i haven't play ever....i probably spent like 5k EURos or more. I play with 2 other friends, one of them probably spent 2k eur and other one 10k euros. They play for longer though.

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.

Complete f2p, i must have put something like 100 or 200€ in 2018-2019 to get some premiums but since then and before that all f2p! (Playing since 2013 i think) But like you say, it’s big grinding fiesta which can be pretty painful sometimes

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 use to be f2p until i found 2 coupons i could stack of a t8 premium 60% off or something :) I don't even play t10 since it's negative credits everytime and t9 if I've saved in

what is the best heavy tank for free account?

I've been playing since 2011 and I've probably spent about 300 euros in some premium tanks

I use a consumable anyway. Max view range is underrated in tanks, especially ones that cant use rammers like autoloaders, autoreloaders, and double barrels. My highest assistance record game was on Prokerovkha.... in an IS-3-II. I managed just shy of 8.2k spotting. The match was a draw, sadly, but it was one of my best games in that tank.

talk about not hitting the broad side of a barn XD

Yeah I pay less than $100 a year nor e like $40. Very difficult sometimes.

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....

Free to play - To make credits and be able to play I never use gold (do not own any) and never use consumables.

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

would you recommend the whole of these lines as good to f2p ?

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.

TY 🙏🙏
