just a question what happenes when you hit 0

[acudaowner]

since the last patch or so Ive been aware that win or loose kill 3 ships or not at the end of the match I have been loosing coin to the service charges I am using nothing that cost extra coin made no purchases recently and started to wonder what happens when you hit 0 silver coin and cannot pay the service charges per match i looked in the forum posts wasting as much time on that as i would and figured id ask does anyone know ?  just an example the last match I played in was a victory for the team, personally i received 32,296 silver coin 291 silver 15 gold for my 41,237 damage 40 hits 1 torp. 1 defend 2 incap. 1 flood and 2 plane kills not great but we won the service charge was 37,750 a loss of 5.454 and on my list so far this evening i have 7 more just like it with the charges out stripping the takes 5k to  10k per match. and only having 1579 coin left id figure id ask.

I think it's like World of Tanks, you can't repair your tank or resupply ammo if you don't (you can choose that option) or can't pay for it.

[Skpstr]

If you don't have any fully-repaired ships of a low enough tier to profit, and you have absolutely nothing to sell in your inventory, then you have two choices. 

 

If you have a spare port slot, you can purchase and run a stock Tier 1 ship (free) until you have enough credits to repair a different ship. If you have no spare port slots, and have no/won't buy any doubloons to get one, looks like you're selling a ship...

 

Ince you've solved that dilemma, you'll need to play some games in lower tiers to support your higher ones.

 

Looking at your profile, if you can score damage in randoms like you do in co-op, you'll have no trouble in Tier 7, and probably barely break even in Tier 8. Alternatively, your Konigsberg looks like it would be your best earner currently in randoms.

You would have to use doubloons to convert to silver.  The other option is to play some lower tier battles where the service cost is very low to build up your account.

 

What ship were you using and in what mode?  I almost suspect you were playing a Co-op battle - they pay hardly anything.

[acudaowner]

lol im really hoping its not that way cause they have gotten there only 40 dollars or so out of me for a premium and a lv 7 ship the ship i liked the pay to play this i felt stupid for getting loosing more coin than i made and all.

 

[1SneakyDevil]

OP I think you are progressing up the tech tree too quickly if in 340 games you already have 2 non premium T7's and 3 T6's.

 

Your damage output is not sufficient to make money based on your stats.

 

Hopefully you've not sold some of your lower tier ships. Go back and play them until you are making good amounts of coin per battle and then move back up the ladder when you have a good bank roll to offset bad games.

Thank you for the responses its at least something to ponder well running lower level ships is at least

Yep, Scharnhorst is not for the faint of heart.  Plus the fact that it tends to be a brawling BB and you need to be more in the fight to let the secondaries work their magic.  There is a concept that BBs "tank" damage.  In other words, they use their large hit point pool and heals to absorb damage that would otherwise be done to their weaker teammates (Cruisers, etc.).  That might be why you get some comments in chat.  A BB is big and tough and should be doing the heavy lifting of softening up the enemy.  And the "PepsiCola" is another high skill level ship.  My Scharn and Kutuzov come out of dry dock every couple of weeks so that I can see how much I have improved in my map awareness in terms of being useful in them.

 

I spent the first 20 or 30 battles in Co-Op with low tier ships.  Then I jumped in Randow to start developing my skills (and to make credits.)  You make more on a Random loss than a Co-Op win.  I currently have 83 ships, a couple of Tier I and II, as well as, Tier III's and IV's.  When I hit a rough time, I drop down to a lower tier and go in co-op to fix the problem, such as waterline or deckline aiming.

 

The important thing to remember is that World of Warships has no end or finish or final Boss battle.  You play the ships you enjoy at the tier you enjoy.  By playing several different lines and types, you can find what fits your style.  By keeping ships in your port you can also switch ships later when you feel like playing a different style.  A worthwhile goal is to find a ship (or ships) you look and get comfortable (and good) playing it.  A good example is LittleWhiteMouse and her Warspite:

If you haven't been doing it already, I would start watching some YouTube videos.

iChase has a pretty good series (Captan's Academy):

Good luck and remember to have fun!

Lol, get out of playing co-op mainly and go play Randoms more. Those will put your credit income at about 100k per decent game.

[Zim_Xero]

I too, would like to know a first hand report.  What happens when you dont have enough credits to pay for maintenance?

Your ship sits locked until you have money to pay the maintenance fee to drive it again.

[fbrrhd]

I'm afraid of running out too. I have both the Alabama and Missouri. So far I don't know what to do with the 337 Million credits I have sitting around?

(Play random and learn to play the lower tiers (4/5/6) first!)

 

[acudaowner]

lol , well if that ain't something  tried going to lower levels after running my lv8 cruiser to see what happens and yep it went in the whole around 30k worth , then ran two level 3's in two matches in pvp made so much less that it was silly now only have two ships that it says i can undock oh but it does show the option to buy my way out lol with money of course. will try my remaining two lv 5's later today to see if two ships can do what 4 tries have not done yet.

[Admiral_Thrawn_1]

Which game mode are you using? If you are only playing Co-Op then you can potentially run the risk of going bankrupt, but if you pretty much exclusively play random like I do then as long as you get some damage in the odds of you losing money is lower. I have been spending a ton of credits on ships, upgrades, and camo and while my credit levels take pretty good hits when I do this overall my credit levels are rising.

Does it stay looking like wreck and locked by the way or intact and locked?

Holy crap. I didn't know that! Good to know.

As I said, looking at your profile, Konigsberg in PvP is going to be your best bet in the short term. Improving your skills and racking up more damage should be your long-term plan.

I have several T10 ships.  I play those as well as the mid tiers, and occasionally (just for grins) run a few low tiers ships.  Playing like this over the past year, I've accumulated over 150 million credits after paying for all ship upgrade mods.

 

My recommendation is don't move up too fast.  Take some time to "smell the low and mid tier roses" so to speak.  If you've developed good skill (i.e., play at least average) at the mid tiers, you'll bring in a pretty penny.
