You don't lose SL if you have a premium account unless you teamkill.

F us free loaders then huh?

You can play this game for free, what else more you want?

Kinda. The way things are balanced out, roughly around tier 3 the free to play aspect ends… sort of. Everything is always available minus premium vehicles (unless there’s free ways to earn them like warbonds or events) but at around tier 3, costs ramp up such that free to play players really start to slow down progression and repairs increase to really slow them down more.

Makes sense to me that after playing a certain amount in a free to play game, incentive is given to start giving back. Free to play games do still need to make money after all. Running servers isn’t free, even if the game didn’t have new updates and content to buy. Not saying Gaijin isn’t overdoing it or anything, but at some point the players buying something is their goal.

Yeah rank III you really start to feel it, I did have premium for 20 days gave them £6 for their troubles. When it ran out ooooooh you feel it fast. 40,000 RP for one tank without premium hits hard.

I can see why Rank III is when the ftp ends.

I grinded a ground tree so far and not super much else, but I can tell you that 100.000RP (with a standard acc) a day is absolutely possible on high tier. I only started with premium at rank 7 because it was taking quite long to get 400.000, but if you play consistently, 40.000 really isnt that much. Yes, you get less RP on low tiers, but still, if you struggle now then don't grind ground, it will become MUCH worse
