Next big thing is just get hits, more hits equals more money. Third is be a team player and stick to your ships role. I play US cruisers, i know i am support. If there are CV's i find a BB and hang with them much as possible. No CV's either i pack up with other cruisers or i stay with BB's and add my more rapid firing guns to ward off pesky DD's, keep other BB's lit on fire and take out other cruisers. Even in losses at tier 9 i rarely lose money (granted i am premium, but i do check what i would get after every battle if i was not premium and still make some money). As for making exp i still follow the same rules and on losses i can still average around 900 exp and around 1700 average on wins. Remember the game is supposed to be fun, division up, get in a clan. When the game is fun credits and exp will come before you know it. i hope this helps Edited June 1, 2015 by Fog_Cruiser_Biloxi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always made sure i get off as much damage as possible because as long as i do half of someones health pool that is my tier i made the repair bill. Everything after that is gravy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
38 Nitemare111 Beta Testers 251 posts 679 battles Report post #6 Posted June 1, 2015 I die in most of my games. I make a profit in all of my games. Secret? Premium account, lots of hits. Damage the enemy enough, and you make money. Downside? Hoping my teammates take advantage of the badly damaged ships now cruising past my wreck. This is probably going to change when WG adjusts the game's economy when OBT hits. It's paying way too much right now, in silver and XP, so people can test everything.

Premium ships earn more cash and they are cheaper to repair. Premium accounts earn more cash on top of that (along with more experience and more commander XP). Premium ships are not necessarily better ships (although many of them are terrific). In tanks, a premium vehicle was often worse than other tanks of its tier -- often being compared to a stock tank that faced off against upgraded tanks. I'm not sure that applies with ships, as some of the premium ships are amazing (Sims, Atlanta, Gremyashchy) and some are underwhelming (Yubari, Albany, [note: opinions vary, these are my own]).

You get those chunks of xp?...you'll be getting your newest dream ship sooner than later. Edited June 2, 2015 by Fog_Destroyer_Akizuki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1 TheIronDukeLuke Beta Testers 11 posts 682 battles Report post #11 Posted June 2, 2015 Whenever I need cash I play in my Yubari for 2 rounds or so, half a million credits if I do well (with premium). As mentioned before, staying alive helps alot and caping zones seems to earn alot of money (based on personal experience, I have no idea if that actually is true).
