Wait, Blitz dont have T29 or they dont let players change that to premium ?
prob just not allowed to change it, as it would be very easy to play the tank very well. for example the Hellcat is not there and neither is the Tiger II
Strange, Is3 isnt their either
would love to do this to a few of my fave normal tanks on PC, like the Tiger 1 or crusader
I am so confused, why does it give prices from tier 5 to 10 but only list prices from tier 5 to 8….. what does this all mean?
that mean they don’t want players have tier 9 and 10 permanent premium
yikes
T9 and 10 tanks can only be temporary premiums. This is to avoid people playing only their favourite high-tier tanks, and to provide gold sink for the players that have more than enough gold, or have decent sum of disposable income available.
Personally, I think that this is a great idea even though the prices are fairly high.
This is armored warfare’s idea…
WT and AW have very similar ideas, you’re right on that. WT had that feature even before AW did. I think that it would be way better in WOT due to its crew mechanics. Currently keeping lower-tier tanks while advancing in a tech tree is kind of a PITA because in order to be enjoyable to play, the previous tanks would need a decent crew, and I, for one, don’t have several 2- or 3-skill crews just laying about in the barracks.
I also think that AW showed promise and still has potential. AW experimenting with an idea doesn’t automatically mean that the idea is bad-
I like this idea. Make your favorite tank the money making machine you want it to be.
So, they charge 65,-€ for a tier 8 coversion to premium?
stronk!
I actually like this idea quite a bit. It would allow people to spend money (wg loves that) and allow the player to get what they actually want.
My m7 would be a beast then
LOL WOT is really a notorious pay to win game.
did they spin a wheel to decide prices or?
i think its based on how well the tank does in their statistics
wow….thats an interesting system to say the least!
much-requested, but also very expensive…but i can see it being viable for folks who dont want to buy unknown premiums
would be cool to see similar features on Console!
Or the PC version for that matter.
Just like in armored warfare huh..
i will use my Churchill Gun Carrier for that!!
This is actually a very good idea, but… those prices are completely insane. If a t8 costs 20k golds, then t9s and t10s are going to cost about 30k and 40k respectively. That’s 100+ euros! Come on!
It is highly unlikely they will allow tier 9 and 10 tanks to be converted permanently. That has been there policy so far.
*their
It be awesome if I cold make my baby hellcat a premium :3 or O-I to have a proper crew Japan Heavy trainer
Love the idea, NEED this on PC.
Pricing needs work though. It should be consistent with the price of premiums at that tier.
Premium Charioteer, GIEF NAOW!
Not only do I love this idea, huge selection of premiums (Listed prices are a tad high, blitz has a different scale I believe), but WG will be happy as they can make a hell of a lot of money from this.
So basically what armored warfare did… cool. I like the idea.
So 3200 gold would buy you 1.2million credits or you can “enrich” your tier VIII and play 10 games and earn an extra (at best) 350k?
What planet are they on?
Oh, hang on it’s WG.
@Homer_J Your maths is balls. 3200 gold (presumably youre referring to tier 8) boosts that tank by say 15-20k creds profit per battle depending on premium account or not. Thats 60-80 battles in that tank over 2 weeks to break even on the 1.2 mill you could have exchanged that gold for, which is a mere 4-6 battles a day in the tank. Which you love, or why did you pay the gold to do that, so its not exactly a hardship. Anything above those 4-6 battles a day is pure profit. Plus in addition to the creds you also get extra exp, which you’ve totally ignored. Your crew winds up better and you get the next tank faster if youre grinding it.
I like the idea.
Its expensive for the permanents, but if its a favorite tank it will pay for itself in time if youve ever exchanged gold for creds, no question. Its more expensive than normal premium tanks I assume because in general normal tanks are supposed to be better than same-tier premiums. You’ve “buying” a better tank.
2 weeks
350k credits
Are You trolling for the first time, or are You special?
you’re a fool if you convert 3k gold into Silver instead of investing it in a T8 that will make that amount back in 40 games
you’d be a fool to convert gold–> silver anyway, but moreso over this option
Looks good but think of the shit storm when then nerf tanks….
If this comes to PC…
-Premium KV-2
-Premium PzIV H
-Premium T67
-Premium UDES-03
-Premium ISU-152
Credit making couldnt be more fun.
Prices are too much tho… A tier 6 premium would cost as much as some tier 8 prems… Let alone tier 8 which get the gold price of tier X CW premiums…
I understand that it needs to be a bit more expensive but not THAT much. They’re asking for almost double the regular price here… The difference should be 10-15-20-25 % respectively for tier 5-6-7-8, not 50 %…
To be fair, WoT Blitz gold is way cheaper than PC. I think it was closer to half or 40% cheaper than PC.
Idiots WG copying features from the now dead Armored Warfare
well they did learn from AW, which is why we have arty balance, what worked in AW will hopefully work here.
Premium conversion is far cheaper in AW, though. goddamn WG peasants.
Hardened has much better cost, yes. It is not conversion to full premium though. I do hope to see it in WoT, would be awesome to apply it to tier 10 tanks. Would stop the credit bleeding that is every match in a tier 10.
They copied the no frontal weakpoint too aka no lower plate weakness..
Yeah thats why the VKB is getting a new lowerplate weakspot and all heavy tanks have it.
Its interesting and can be bad as much as it can be good (for Pc version atleast) As i dont want to fight a emil or Oi unbeknownst to me that someone has put their 8 skill tier 10 crewmen in it to increase their sealclubbing ability. IMO Maybe they should limit to specific tanks or tanks only gaining certain advantages of premium like money making and repair. No hate
*Converts favorite tanks to premium tanks permanently to afford Gold Spam*
Tiger 1+2, Panther 2, Pz4 H, AMX 50 100, KV1-S, WZ 131, M26 Pershing would be my favourites for a conversion.
I was hoping for a feature like that, ever since i bought the Rudy. Just a normal top equipment Tank to grind for cash!
i mean AW has that option of premming a tank first. i think they got inspired from that
Inspired?
They just saw another opportunity to make some money and that’s why it was offered.
sorry let me fix that
“inspired”
tier 6 OI premium… muhaha >:)
Would be cool to make some murican or other nation LTs premium.. My crews would certainly appreciate that..
I wrote this idea on wot forum years ago …
Great idea. I’ll chose the T67 😛
as much as I do agree on the tank (that little bugger is one of my all time favourites!), I don’t know if tier 5 prem is that good for credit-making. the basic income is rather low in comparison to tier 8 or the like. even with rather good rounds (I did 1,6k damage this morning with T67), you “only” get about 20k minus the expeneses. so a “prem”-T67 would net you something between 10k and 30k per round without prem acc, I guess.
plus for WoT Blitz the crew training aspect is no problem, as you cannot exchange crews (plus you only get more creds – NO bonus XPs are listed … ;-/ ). for WoT PC this would an additional issue when people would start training crews in their favourite tanks.
basically I like the idea, but the prices are really too much. you don’t get a “real” prem-tank, only the credit-multiplier is changed and it still costs WAY more than a normal prem of the same tier? no thanks! give it another try!
What happens when they nerf things?
Let’s hope no premium arty…
Why not ? It would only makeit affordable.
At tier 8+ if you die you lose money period. Even on a big game on a win.
At tier X even when surviving if you do less than 3k dmg you’ll most likey lose money
Arty is too expensive, 400hp repairs cost as much as 3k hp repairs, and because they never spot for themselves they get only half the xp and credits. Making them premium would at best turn them into regular tanks.
“Why not ?”
Because the more reasons that this cancerous shit stays out of the games, the better.
we are talking about WoT Blitz here. there is no arty, only derp guns like T82 on tier 3 (with the 105mm derp *dumdidum* *BOOM*)
Giev teh KV-2 Premium…And never forget the Borsig…This would be a huuuuge Income-plus…(after you raided your bank-account)
Nice way to rip players off of the gold (i.e. Money)
20K gold for a tier 8 premium; I’d just say WG FU
And WG comes up with these schemes because there are ample number of idiots who willingly promote this thing by buying it.
Guys please let WG be creative in ways which improves the game without extorting money from us.
you dont have to convert your tanks to premium this is a great idea for those who want it
wg gives the OPTION and you complain about something you can do but dont have to do
stay away from other peoples wallets and let them decide what is worth their money
Sounds like an interesting idea, and useful for nations without many premium options.
I like the idea, but not unconditionally. Don’t think they should automatically allow this for just any and every tank if they ever bring this feature to the standard PC version. It does mess with fundamental balancing, by allowing people to fire nothing but premium on certain high tier tanks while still making a profit or negligible loss.
But as long as it’s only done for certain tanks and/or tiers after consideration, I do like the idea. In fact, I like it a lot better than the current bullshit they’re doing, which is to just make clone premiums based on normal tanks.
So instead of making a premium Jagdtiger for example, they could just add that particular tank to a list of “premiumable” tanks. Then instead of adding a pointless clone to the game, people can pay to have premium benefits on a tank that’s already in it.
