So, im playing like, 6 lines at the same time and im always poor as fck. My moneymaking tank was going to be the M4 sherman but with the new matchmaking it never meets tier 3 and the tank is way too innacurate to make a consistent profit when you are not oneshoting tanks with the derp left and right. I need a tank to make fast money because today it took me 4 hours to get 100k credits and im not willing to do that when i have to buy a tier 9 tank. What are the best tanks to make money without buying premiuns? Is there even a way to get your hands on a premiun tank without wasting real money? I know how they print money no effort.

PD: Dont recomend any russian tanks, im not going to play any russians, i know the KV1S prints money.

Fine I would say any tier 5-6 is good for that.

For me light tanks are always the best, the reason for this is that you get credits for spotting damage, alike damage, except you don't have to pay for the shells, so you have less ammo cost and also the vehicles are usually cheaper to repair, so rn I am making profit playing tier 9 lights, so go find a tier 5 light you enjoy. Tier 5 is the best for credit making (QB made a video years ago). Other than that use a kv-1 maybe? Something you play well in, as if you do good, you make profit. Personally I use the Churchill 3, but you said non premium

You want to minimize shell and repair costs first of all.

So you might want to look for a tank with a good gun that relies on not getting hit in the first place.

German TD's come to mind, but not sure how much the maps support them these days.

Light tanks in general can be quite nice, but they require a lot more effort.

Tier 5-6 is the most profitable non-premium way of making money. Which tank is the best returns? Well there are many but the best answer is the tank in those tiers in which you win with the most and along with winning, the tank you do the most damage with... it's really that simple since winning bags the credits and doing damage bags the credits.

Reasons tier5 and 6 are so good at credit building is they are capable of doing really decent amounts of damage, which is rewarded with credits as mentioned.. but also are dirt cheap to repair even if you have a few stinkers for rounds in between. I see you have negative win rate so try a support tank that allows you to stay back from the front lines and deliver damage from range. A popular stat padder is the T67, being a stat padder tank means a tank that wins and does lots of damage too. I skipped that tank but do have the tier6 hellcat which is fun and flexible but most importantly for you, it's a TD like the T67 which will allow you to acceptably stay back out of trouble and knock in lots of damage from range while also being a fast tank and even has a turret.. sounds good? it is!! gl

Damage/assist = credits. So what ever tier 5/6 tank you can consistently do good damage in, or spot damage in. Don't matter what we recommend if you don't do well in that class or the nations style etc.

For me on my NA account, the Cromwell and Achilles does it for me. Cheap as chips to run, and easy to get consistent damage/assist in.

I think without a premium account and a premium tank, you will have to seek be on the top part of your team, you can expect about 15-30k credits at tiers V and VI

at tier 7 starts becoming more demanding to actually make money, because the repair of your tank starts being more expensive...

small derp guns are good for that, their ammo is relatively cheap, and they do lots of damage, very often i did more than 20k credits per game proffit with my PZ IV H, that was my most played thank in the game, at the time i didnt had any premium vehicles, and that tank was my money maker, with a solid play you will even make 10/15k on defeats

Tier 5 and 6 is where its fairly easy to make credits because repair costs are still low.

Also needs to be a tank you like playing as you are likely to play it more often.

My personal choice would be a tier 6 light tank because I can gets loads of spotting in even if the team tanks and also because I love light tanks.

You can get premium tanks for free occasionally, in the past they have had events where you earn a premium yank The T25 Pilot was the last one but there have been others.

You can also do the personal missions, it takes some time but unlike events you can take as long as you like.

You also get special crew members and lots of extras for each completed individual mission.

If you are having problems getting credits please click on and start the personal missions for example the medium tank mission 1 had you completed that in your Sherman would have netted you 75,000 credits

If you damaged an enemy tank and ended up in the top ten by xp in your team and your team won you get an extra 50,000 credits

Surviving another 25,000 credits.

That's in addition to what you earned normally.

1 game could get you 100k or close to it.

got the T25 pilot 1 for free through the event. This thing nets me an average of 25k per game.

so my best advice is to wait for the next passable higher tier premium tank that gets given away and invest some time to do the missions. it does pay off.

If you have T8 prem tanks ,without prem account, can be playable.T5 and T6 tanks without premium account are enough to support a freemium account up to tier7-8.Free tanks from marathons don't worth the time getting them.Thousand of battles for a 30 euro tank.For example Superpershing and is6 are trash nowdays,every corner you peek there are defenders,patriots,VK100.01P,crystlers,HE godzilla tanks etc...RIP profit.The days where your KV1,stug etc provided decent income at weekends with events are long gone.

Stay at lower tiers up to tier7-8 without prem account and play t5 and t6(even t7) tanks over and over and over to gather some credits.People say Stronghold battles at t6 provide good income,if you have a type64 or cromwellB even better.

Premium account gives bonus xp,crew xp and credits,so definately worth spending 10 euros.Only you can decide how much your free time worth.

By the way, asking about making credits without premium is the same as asking in which tank the player will in average deal the most damage.

vbaddict has interesting tank lists, one of them is "profitability".

here is a link to that list, I filtered out premium tanks

http://www.vbaddict....reditsn&server=

On tier 6, Nashorn is my favorite for making creds.

here is the same list restricted to tiers 8 to 10:

http://www.vbaddict....reditsn&server=

I'm surprised to see the O-Ho and the Bulldog topping the list.

The Rheinmetall-Borsig Waffenträger should be a relatively safe bet if you have the playstyle that fits this TD (i.e. patient, using the extraordinary camo and taking opportunity shots).

Any tier V vehicle can earn you some nice credits.

I find out that StuG III G is pretty great for fast credits.

Great camo bonus, excellent cannon with decent penetration value.

One of my favourite credits "farmer".

If it takes you 4 hours to make 100k in a M4, you are one of these things.

1: You shoot to much premium shells.

2: You do close to 0 dmg every game.

Fix the one that is correct.

M4 is a very good credit maker. And if you are a decent player, you should average 15-20k profit/game

I heard tier V has the highest credits net per game followed by tier VI. So, that in mind my list goes:

BDR G1 B - High alpha, low shell cost. Also very, very good heavy tank when played properly.

S35 CA - High alpha and all around very nice to play.

M4 & Pz IV H - Derps in general make good credits.

T-150 - imo very good heavy tank, probably the best on tier VI. High alpha and good pen again. Will do fine even against 7's.

O-I - Derps in general are very credit efficient. Idiot proof frontal armor unless the idiots double tap the 2-key.

Add to that anything you feel you perform well in, really. You can play just as efficient tank as there is and if you suck in it, you wont make credits.

EDIT: Must add that a big plus for tier V is that they won't face tier 8, which is pretty broken atm with the new premium heavies. I mean, it was horrible even before for 6's to try penning IS-3 and KV-4's but now it's gone from ridiculous to utter nonsense.
