Gaijin has reduced the silver reward multiplier for top-tier vehicles. I know Gaijin did this partly to discourage players from being inactive in matches, partly to reduce the reward multiplier for pre-tanks/planes/heli, and partly to encourage players to subscribe to premium accounts (of course). However, this greatly affects those without pre-accounts or pre-vehicles (me - sorry for not having a pre-account or pre-tank). The cost of repairing vehicles and replenishing ammunition and crew has become very high. This makes trying to win a match pointless because if I die too many times, I will still lose silver or receive very little silver. If you lose, you lose even more, making the free vehicles Gaijin added in previous updates more useless than ever. Because when you die, you lose a lot of silver to repair it, while its module is only at a basic level (it’s hard to get kill points, and even if you do, it’s not enough to compensate for the lost silver). This has led to my matches in the last two days (since the update) being very short, either winning in 10 minutes or losing in 10 minutes. Most people leave the match after losing 2 or 3 vehicles; rarely does anyone use all their vehicles to play until the end of the match. Illustrative image:
gaijin has made basically zero changes to SL earnings recently,
you just didnt really do anything in that match, 0 kills with 4 different vehicles is simply not great
one thing to note is are you using default 30mm belts on the pantsir smsv, because its quite expensive if you arent I believe
Bro you died 4 times and only made 2 assists. Do not expect to be rewarded for that.
I know, I played badly in that match. But I checked again and found something unusual: the repair cost per second for Russian vehicles was the lowest, but the highest repair cost was about 3,000 SL higher than vehicles from other countries. For example, the T80BVM: it doesn’t have LWS like other tanks, but it costs 6,745 SL to repair. If we’re talking about that, the Russian tank has the Dozer, but it’s mostly useless in the match (does it really cost more than 3,000 SL?). On the Spaa branch, they have the Pansir, but no Laser Rangefinger like the SM-SV, yet the highest repair cost is more than 2,000 SL (over 9,000 SL)? Look at my match; I only lost one BVM plus helicopter repair costs: 6,000 SL for the BVM and 2,000 for the helicopter. I only earned 22,000 SL in the whole match (95% active).
for not having a premium account thats an extremely normal result
After a second check, I discovered something else: even the T55A—a tank manufactured in 1963, without NVD or Dozer—had the highest repair cost reaching 6839 SL, higher than any MBT.
Normal? The problem here is the high cost of playing, do you understand? In one game, I played very well but only earned 22k, while in a normal game I can only achieve 1-2k stop loss or even lose money, whereas other countries can earn at least 4-5k (similar in terms of KDA).
you have basically only played russia right? because if you look at a tank you dont own, it shows you the repair cost for it as if it had no modifications, so of course if you look at other nations that you dont play theyll appear significantly cheaper to play, but they arent really very different at all
For example, with 2 kills and 2 deaths, I’m sure I’ll lose silver, but other countries will still receive 2-4k SL depending on their highest repair price. See the difference?
and how do you know that? considering youve basically only played russia you dont have the experience to know something like that, and as I’ve already said looking at a tank you dont own will show you the cost of that tank as if it were stock (so the cheapest it would ever be)
