    I thought it would be interesting to see what free players have brought so far with their earned tank coins. I brought 1 month deluxe a while back for 20tcs,wp6 using coupon for 40tcs and 10 upgrade tokens to max my armour for 80 tcs as i had half of all stats when i reached lvl 50(traction maxed though). I currently have 40+ tcs and i am saving for another weapon pack. If i were to ever buy the starter pack i would probably skip getting deluxe and go straight for packs :p Whereas as a free player you have many options to take(although most take the saving for wps option...)

    I am sure many people in the forums cannot answer this question.

    If I had to answer then: Tank Upgrades for maximising my tank. Second, I would spend 20 Tank Coins for getting 1 month deluxe and repeat this each month.

    You are also wise in spending your Tank Coins however. :)

    It's the x2 XP they are really interested in. High prestige players use Deluxe for this reason. That's why.

    I both respecfully agree and disagree.

    Yes. Weapon Packs are a neat, creative and powerful bunch of weapons, adding to your arsenal. We all want them. Who doesn't?

    However, if you prefer the prestigal weapons that may be equally powerful in their own right, then Deluxe is the best option. Less Weapon Packs means that there are more chances of starting a game with Prestige Weapons..

    Depends on what you prefer, really.

    I usually don't have much problem beating high prestige players. It is all to do with the weapons given at the start. Sometimes I get overpowered weapons: SplitterChain, Seagull, Smart Sniper, Sub-Sniper, Sniper, Crazy Cluster, Mad Birds and many others that require little skill to hit hard.

    That's 3 weapn packs.How the heck did you earn 240 tcs.Granted i have earnt 140 and i had a 1 year break but still i played near the start and tcs were much more common... Most free players have 0 or 1 weapon packs.

    Well that's the thing, I am not a free-to-play player. Most people in the forums are also the same. I have stated above what I did on my alt account (saving up for maximising my tank and getting deluxe once I finish).

    My second post, as you have correctly pointed out, has multiple packs. I was explaining the pros and cons of Weapon Packs/Prestige Weapons to @MJako , which I agree is off topic. My apologies.

    Oh ok np,i agree with you that beating a prestige premium player as a prestige free player is dependent on your weapon selection at the start.I also like how you think some wp weapons require little skill to use.This is true i don't think anyone can truely deny that.

    Delux comes with 20 pretty good weapons and that double XP is soooo worth it. With delux you can easily go through 3 prestiges a month. Getting the starter pack to buy the lifetime delux is the best place to start. Then maxing out your tank. Then on to weapon packs.

    well, someone told me: the amount of different opinions is like the amount of people in the world. I guess its the same how u spend/save ur coins.
    @darklegion741 normally I have no big problems playing against higher prestiges too. yeah, it depends on the start weps. a few weeks ago, I got beaten by a lvl 30 no prestige, cause my average dmg was at 50/turn, that was kinda embarrassing :oops:; but thats off topic, I just wanted to give an example :D

    If I had to join the game from the beginning I would act as follow:

    - buy deluxe as much as you can
    - level up and earn tank upgrades as much as you can. Each time you earn a tank upgrade use it to improve your tank. First armor, then fuel, then traction and at least luck
    - Once you reach lvl 50 buy some tank coins to fully upgrade your tank
    - Save as much tank coins you can to buy retro wep pack 1
    - buy steel barrel perk

    At last, I would buy all the remaining weapon packs depending on how many tank coins I have or I can afford.

    Well, I have to jump in.
    What I did (and would do), is first to upgrade the traction, its the most important upgrade of all (for example, if you have more traction you can travel more distance on flat ground even if your fuel is same!).
    Secondly, I would save coins for retro pack 1, all weapons are great quality and it should be the second step. I've bought a pack 3 first, but that was when the seagull was OP.
    As far for deluxe, I'm strongly against buying deluxe monthly (or at any limited time) only what you get from that is XP, and prestige weapons that aren't so OP that it's worth it. If I would buy deluxe I would only buy life time. Why? Because lets say you get about 25 coins a month (thats average if you play every day 2h) That is 300 coins for one year, so with that you can get lifetime deluxe.
    If you buy it monthly, you would after one year be prestige 10 (even if you are higher there is no use) , lets say, and you would spend for deluxe 240 coins, which doesn't give you much to buy other cool stuff.
    So after one year of playing you ,if you didn't buy deluxe, would have lifetime deluxe, and you would be prestige 3-4
    If you bought deluxe, you would be prestige 10 and... That's all, deluxe is gone.
    So after that year, you are constantly deluxe, you don't have to pay for monthly, so you can buy other stuff, and expand your arsenal.
    This is an advice if you plan to play the game for "longer trcks".
    Personaly I dont need xp, so I didnt buy deluxe (even when I had opportunity, when I bought starter pack) ive gone for packs and tank upgrade.
    Wow I've wrote do much, hope you had nerves to read it...
