For once, I would whole heartedly agree with Erth.

@6, because you are a casual gamer that don’t like games where you need to think and use tactics. Here is your answer.
@5, then you did something horribly wrong if you spent 50 EURO’s. You don’t pay to win. You pay only to advance faster, except for certain ammo but they don’t give you a lot of advantage over the player.
and all tanks for Real money suck ass compared to decent that you can purchase.
If you paid for tanks and for ammo, then i’m sorry… This is not the right way playing this game.
To be honest, monthly subscription is enough for this game.

There are a lot of wallet warriors in World of Tanks.
It’s not so much the fact that half of a lobby is often made up of bought tanks, it’s the fact that those guys have ammo that does twice as much damage.
If you get into a duel with someone who has a lower tier tank, but higher tier ammo, then you’re royally fucked.
It doesn’t ruin the game per se, but you will find yourself in the roll of cannonfodder quite a lot.
In the beta, they handed out premium coins on a weekly basis, which could then be used to buy premium ammo. At least that gave people a short window of a level playing field.

@8, paid ammo does not do twice as damage and paid tanks are a piece of crap.
+ if you paid for tanks you have certain tier and you can’t go to the noob zone in most of the cases. Paid tanks just give you a temporary experience boost but that’s it.

@9 It’s true that the base damage is the same, and slightly lower for HEAT, but it practically doubles penetration, which means that you can quite easily have a situation where a lower tier tank takes out a higher tier one, due to the higher tier bouncing and the lower one penetrating.
You can’t kill what you can’t penetrate.
With HEAT it’s a lot worse since they’re far more likely to get a critical hit.
I don’t remember the exchange system, but I’m pretty sure that you can also exchange gold for silver coins, which means that you can pay your way up the tiers and equipment ladders. 50 dollars gives you 4,8 million.
And then you have consumables.

@10, Yes, you can change gold for silver but this is the most retarded way to do it (because you need to spend so much money that it is not worth even if you are rich) + you can’t buy a top tier tank until you will have enough experience. So there is a balance if you are rich and spend a ton of money.
Battles are enough to make money (if you have a subscription of course) and if you know how to play than there is no problem at all.

Oh right, I forgot about experience.
It doesn’t matter if it’s retarded or not though, most micro-transactions cater to a retarded audience.
But yeah, ammo is what makes the difference.
