Hi all. The Gamebizclub team is on air, and today we will talk about Tanks. Developer company Wargaming has been actively promoting its team-based online shooter World of Tanks for several years now. In it you can try yourself as a commander, driver and gunner at the same time. Team battles do not leave millions of players indifferent, attracting them with their uniqueness and unusual gameplay.
The game implements a tank development system - you start on tanks from the 20-30s, and later you can buy stronger tanks from the next series. The purchase is made for money and experience gained in battles with numerous opponents on the battlefield. And the more experience and money, the better combat vehicle you will buy, so today we will tell you how to gain experience in World of Tanks and buy a good tank to win battles.
But first, be sure to read our article about - from it you will learn about the variety of military equipment and what you should generally strive for in the game.
Let's go over the basics
The gameplay of WoT will not cause any difficulties for novice players, and there are also several tutorials. And at the same time, there are several features that may not be clear at first.
What's so complicated about it, gain experience, save money, and then use it to buy brand new combat vehicles. But the stronger the tank, the more experience is required to research it.
Combat experience is an in-game currency that a fighter receives in different battle modes. It is divided into unallocated and free experience. The first type is awarded to the tank on which you fought, and the second to a separate piggy bank, in the amount of 5% from each battle. Both types are awarded for certain merits, so in each battle you need to strive to do the maximum of useful actions in order to receive a worthy reward as a result.
Ways to get experience
1. The main method is to cause damage to enemy vehicles. For inflicting critical damage on modules, for penetrations and for downed tracks, your piggy bank will be replenished, so try to make as many hits as possible.
2. When capturing and defending a base, you will receive additional points if you prevent your own base from being captured and cause damage to enemies in the capture circle, or capture the enemy base on your own or in a team with your teammates.
3. The final reward is affected by the indicator of exposure - detection of enemy combat units. It is divided into primary illumination and illumination. For the initial exposure, you need to detect the enemy tank first so that it appears on the map and becomes visible to all allies. In the second case, you need to detect a tank that someone saw, but in this case you will get a little less experience than in the first case.
4. An important indicator is survivability - this value indicates the number of battles in which the tanker remained alive. If the indicator is high, then the final reward will increase slightly.
Maximum in one battle
The main goal of WoT is to upgrade equipment and acquire new combat vehicles. As we said at the beginning of the article, the stronger the tank, the more experience and money will be required to purchase it. To speed up the process of obtaining new equipment, players use the following tricks:
- Time is the main resource, and if you don’t have enough of it, then buy a premium account, which increases the final reward for the battle by 50%. Of course, it costs money, but if you want to develop faster, then why not buy it.
- You can purchase premium equipment for real money - this will also save time and effort. Such vehicles have increased profitability ratios, the crew develops faster, and battles are much easier. It is believed that such vehicles can greatly change the balance of power on the battlefield. For example, the American T34 (not to be confused with our 34) is considered one of the best in the premium class due to good armor, high damage and a chance of breaking through armor.
- Light tanks are considered the most profitable. They effectively scout enemy positions and make initial light, and also deal significant damage. On the other hand, they have almost no armor, so one shot from a medium or heavy combat vehicle will leave them only a smoking crater.
- In addition to the main game mode – “random battle”, the tanker is offered several more options: “fortified area”, “company” and “team”. Unlike the “random” mode, you can fight in these battles with friends and acquaintances, which allows you to use different tactics and win more often.
Once you have earned enough experience and money, open the research panel and think about your options. If you have decided for yourself which class of combat vehicles is better, then you should continue development only in this direction, and not upgrade other branches. For example, if you are developing heavy tanks of the USSR, then you should not take additional German artillery. This is the only way you can quickly buy a good tank to win most battles (not counting the option with a premium vehicle).
Eventually
To gain experience, you need to fight many battles, in each of which you need to perform as many useful actions as possible. If you don’t have time, buy a premium account or a tank - this will save time and resources that can be spent on developing the selected branch of combat vehicles. Try to gather a team to participate in battles and win more often, which will give you even more resources.
We’ll end here, because there are still a few more articles on WoT for beginners ahead. Follow our blog news and share the link to the article with your friends. See you soon. Bye bye.
Good day everyone! This topic is dedicated to how to earn experience! But first, let's discuss what experience actually is. As with any MMO, experience matters a lot in World of Tanks. Only with the help of experience is it possible to move up the “tank ladder.” For combat experience, the player can research tank modules or equipment that is available for research. Combat experience can only be gained in battle, by killing or highlighting the enemy. However, there are other criteria that affect the total amount of experience earned in battle. As you know, experience in World of Tanks is divided into two categories: free and combat.
As for combat experience, it is awarded for the following actions in battle:
- Dealing damage to enemy tanks - the vehicle class and enemy level are taken into account. For example, for 2000 damage, a firefly will be given much more experience than a tank destroyer or artillery gun, since the main purpose of a light tank is not to cause damage to the enemy, but to illuminate enemy positions. The level of the enemy to whom the damage was dealt is also important. Thus, by killing high-level enemies, you will gain more experience than by shooting low-level tanks. Additional experience is also given for destroying tanks, but it is better to deal 400 damage than to finish off a tank with 5 HP.
- There is also a bonus of sorts for causing critical damage to an enemy. Setting fire to the engine or tanks, crit of the ammunition rack or the turret turning mechanism, track derailment and concussion of crew members are also taken into account when calculating experience.
- The initial exposure of the enemy (detecting enemies) counts towards experience. Moreover, they give more experience for detecting self-propelled guns than for spotting another class of tank. If, due to the light of the tank, enemies were destroyed or damaged, then a kind of bonus to experience is given for this - “damage with your help.”
- In the latest patches, another criterion was introduced, according to which additional experience is also given for pushing/drowning tanks.
- Capturing an enemy base or shooting down a capture is rewarded with experience.
- Additional experience is awarded for active combat operations, worthy resistance, survivability in battle and received medals. Moreover, for winning a battle, teams give the most experience: +50% experience for each player.
- Many people prefer to finish off their opponents, since the more damage the team inflicts, the more experience the winning players will receive.
Many users do not know how experience is awarded in WoT. They are often mistaken that you can gain experience for damaging allies. On the contrary, for a team kill or damage to allied vehicles, you will be deducted part of your earned experience and credits in proportion to the damage caused. Also, damage is not awarded for non-penetration or ricochets and for receiving damage. There is no bonus for a loss or a draw. As a result, if you want a lot of experience at the end of the battle, you must win.
However, World of Tanks is protected from experience cheating. For example, if you leave a battle and do not enter until it ends, then experience will ultimately not be awarded. True, this is only if your tank is not destroyed.
To summarize, we can say that to get the maximum amount of experience you need to destroy enemies, deal damage and, most importantly, win the battle while remaining alive. In this case, it is advisable to have a premium account, since if you have one, you can receive 50% more experience in each battle, regardless of the outcome of the fight
For starters, what is the pure experience in World of Tanks? This is the experience that you get without any extras such as reserves, premium, premium vehicle, combat missions, etc.
I'll show you with an example:
- Go to command result
- And look at the experience column (asterisk). All.
Even in case of defeat, they can add experience to you for worthy resistance. It also goes into the sum of pure experience.
- You can complete the task using vehicles from level 6 (specified in the task)
- Complete the task on what you are better at playing. Namely, deal a lot of damage, cast a lot of light, or simply make a lot of frags.
For example, I don’t know how to play light tanks. But they bring the most experience if you know how to light and play them. Personally, I completed almost all 5 times on the premium PT-8 of the Chinese branch. Because it is fun, dynamic, deals a lot of damage, can be highlighted and even tanked a little, or even a lot, if you are at the top.
What gives you more experience?
Let's start with the fact that experience is given for a lot of reasons:
- Frags. Make frags. More frags - more experience. If there is a choice between 750 alpha, or 20 damage, but a frag, shoot at the underkill. There will be more experience.
- Damage. The more damage, the more experience. Everything is simple here.
- The first clearing of the enemy. You burned down the enemy's presence at the beginning of the game - you will receive a small bonus to experience.
- Damage to your light. The coefficient is less than just damage, but you can shine a lot.
- Damage to your dampening. Do you see a herd of allies nearby and want to shoot? Shoot the skating rink. It can not only be punched, but also placed on a caterpillar. And this is an additional experience.
- Victory. If you win, you are given, relatively speaking, full experience, and if you lose, 50% of what you could have been given if you won.
- Survived/did not survive. This also affects. Live. Live until the end of the game. Additional experience is also awarded for this.
Video review from ProTanks on gaining experience
Many players who are just starting to master the World of Tanks are faced with the problem that it is very difficult to accumulate in-game currency on entry-level tanks and because of this they have to spend a lot of time to at least get 100 thousand credits.
At the same time, they play rather weakly, sometimes even going into wild disadvantages because they face opponents two or three levels higher. And if you are also a victim of art, then this is generally a sad case. Another reason for poor experience accumulation is when you are placed with newcomers who behave much worse in the game than you, this actually leads to a bad result in the battle.
One of the best ways in world of tanks to quickly gain experience is to buy a premium account for a month; it is inexpensive, but it will pay you back for possible victories and increase the rate of hitting enemy vehicles. It is recommended to buy if you have reached at least level 8, it is important to max out your tank’s skills in order to increase the damage and accuracy of hitting targets.
The more opponents you kill, the more experience you will accumulate.
Purchasing a premium account increases the accumulation of experience and credits several times. In fact, those who believe that spending real money on games is a stupid activity are wrong. Let's say we take the situation that you spend an hour of your time on the game. During a normal game, you earn ten thousand credits and several hundred experience points; with premium, this figure will double. Premium accounts are often distributed on New Year's holidays, February 23 or May 9, but they usually last only a few days.
But even during this time, with a positive result from battles, you can accumulate enough experience
Another proven way in world of tanks to quickly gain experience is to buy premium level 8 tanks; from the options you can choose the Soviet T34, KV-5 or the German “Lion” - well-proven combat vehicles for beginners and mid-level players. Thanks to the high efficiency rating of the listed tanks, you can gain several million credits and a decent amount of experience.
The main rule in WoT battles is to destroy as many targets as possible. Aim at all vulnerable spots, if the enemy gets you, hide in cover. The situation when you need to hide from enemy bullets sometimes helps if you are left alone in the team. The easiest way is to go to the base and wait for the enemy; when he is in sight, you need to knock him out.
You can try to capture an enemy base, but only if the enemy forces are weak, or there is only one weak target left there.
If you are going to join a platoon to gain credits or experience, then this is not a very good decision, because your team or a friend may be placed with strong opponents, then the process of getting a victory will be very difficult.
