If you don't have premium...get rekt.  Just get rekt.

It is by design, to nudge people into premium time and premium vehicles.

 

Playing in high tiers does not net credits, it doesn't even take a lot of premium shells or consumables for it to be a credit loss.

I can semi consistently turn a profit in tier X without premium time.  It is all about how you spend your credits and giving damage without taking damage.

You burned through almost 50K credits in that battle.  It had to go somewhere - top provisions, camo, prammo. 

 

If you want to make money in a tech tree tank, you do have options.  Play tanks with high credit coefficients, use less gold ammo, and cut back on high end consumables. 

 

Edited to note that I haven't bought premium time in years now, and I can make enough credits to get by.

I really need to start doing this.

[ARandomGenieGuy]

Cut back some expenses that aren't that necessary. For example if youre a heavy dont spend credits on paint,  your cammo factor is trash anyways. Only use prem rounds when absolutely required since those are more expensive and you deal less damage per shot. For equipment just use the better rations and leave the other two slots empty. You don't need the fuel in a chinese tank since its mobility is that of a heavium and small portions although it helps you but it isnt that necessary. You lose way too unnecessary credits. I used to pull 20-35k profit on both my IS3 and Tiger 2 on a win without premium account.

Pop those premium time 1 hour certificates when you play high tiers...thats why missions exists

Post the credit sheet from your game. 

   Odds are we can show you where you could make a lot more.

Playing higher coefficient tanks would be to adjust to the problem...which still stands that players generally take a hit to credits when playing tech tree tanks.

 

Remember they nerfed earnings on dmg but didn't adjust shell cost + introduced more things in consumable department ( to be competitive u must use)

​They also added credit boosters, which show up quite often in free crates, as well as premium certificates from completing missions.  It is not hard to stay ahead of the credit game without premium time.  If you get hard up, pop a certificate and run a credit earning tank.  ARL, Pz III/IV and other high credit tech tree or use a premium credit grinder.  Even most FTP players have at least one premium credit grinder from an event or a crate.
