gold eagle Gold Eagles : Best investment with your precious GE.

Nicely done DigitalProphecy!

 

Anyway, as a veteran player myself I'd like to add a few aspects of my own experience:

 

1. Whether a vehicle is good for your grinding or not heavily depends on your play style and goals in the game. About the latter one: Some people are not interested (and never will be) in grinding to the very end of any tech tree, so buying a tier 4 premium might still be worth the money for them.

 

2. A talisman is always cheaper than the equivalent premium vehicle at this rank, which is why premium vehicles are only for grinding silver lions (SL's) or simply a collectors item for me.
About SL farming: Keep in mind that low tier premiums do get a lion boost, but not as much as higher tier ones. The maximum boost is 100% and the first vehicles of this kind appear at tier 3. So buying anything >tier 3 for lion farming is not really worth it imo, since you get the maximum SL boost at a usually way easier to play rank, lol. Only exception for me would be the extraordinary performance of a certain vehicle at tier 4 or 5...

 

3. Premium time is most valuable when playing 24/7... Every time you're not playing, "you're losing money". So for me personally a talisman or premium vehicle is a way better choice. But that is just my very personal opinion.

 

About the bundles:
I never bought one, since I usually don't need half the stuff in there. So maybe a discount of 50 - 75 % is huge, but at the end you will actually use only 1 or 2 vehicles of these bundles. I remember one of the British bundles, I think it was the Strv 81, the Black Prince, Sherman Firefly and the Wyvern. Only vehicle of interest for me was the Firefly, since I already had a talisman on my Centurion Mk 3... Talking about the Black Prince, does anybody still play this tank, I haven't seen one in many months now, lol...^^

 

Oh, and don't buy silver lions or modules... Ever!

2. Camouflage (bushes) for tanks:

 

Camouflage does not work in Arcade since the game reveals your location anyway.  It is also not that big of advantage in RB and SB because the only moving bush is you!  Trees don't move unless knocked down, so again a moving bush is target (but works great if you found a great ambush spot).

 

Ever seen an ASU-57 covered in camo in the middle of the tall grass behind some bushes? No? Then it works. I'd classify this as a solid investment if you can place the camo well enough and have enough units to cover the front of your tank well.

In my opinion, if you have a limited amount buy a premium account and use as much time of the premium account as you can. Premium vehicles can be worth it sometimes, but a huge advantage is the extra RP and SL you earn with premium vehicles. If you stack up both a premium vehicle and a premium account you'll be able to unlock new tanks very quickly.

+crew slots

+crew exp - boost that reload speed (if arcade) or gunner crew some. Precision, accuracy, vitality. Or number of gunners if it's a slot with a bomber with many turrets. 

+premium vehicles that u think u're gonna have use for. When on sale or 30 -50+% discount, unless it's the 250 eagle planes..Bought some of those without discount just because. Worth it.

+Ace on low tier vehicles u really like and already reached 50-75% ace on. Lately I've used eagles on this and imo it's well spent to make a good aircraft perform even better. 

+ Talisman when on discount. Got Talisman for ki-200 - totally worth it.

+ I also buy mods when they cost 1-5 eagles sometimes.

I disagree! If you have the GE and just unlocked a new Rank V or VI tank, use GE to get parts and/or FPE. Waiting to grind 12k xp for parts would be pretty awful without a talisman or premium time.
