Overview
OK, so this is a little tutorial/guide I’ve made up on my mind while playing Battle Tanks. So far, it hasn’t failed me. It’ll be composed of several factors: Setup the ideal tank team Proper Gold use/mining Proper Silver use/farming How to shoot/kill effectively during fightsWithout further due, let’s get started. Setup the ideal tank team Ok, so the first tip is NEVER BUY TOP LEVEL TANKS WHEN YOU’RE A BEGINNER, because what that’ll do is cause the matchmaking system throw you against high-leveled players that’ll smash you to bits in seconds, cause you only have a high tier tank and low level ones. That’s a big no no.You start up with only one level 1 tank, some gold and silver. My advise is to first grind for some silver by winning battles, and then use the gold to unlock a new “bay” so you can “explore” and purchase a level 2 tank. Not a level 3 or higher Always try to keep your tanks in a consecutive numbered level (i.e. You have 3 bays, so you should have tanks level 1,2 & 3, or 3,4 & 5), that way you’ll have a chance to put out a good fight and come out victorious. Proper Gold use/mining When you level up in the game, you earn both silver and gold. My advise is to keep that gold and only use it for very important stuff. In other words: NO SPENDING GOLD TO SKIP MODULE UPGRADE WAIT TIME NO SPENDING GOLD IN EQUIPMENT (You can use it on gear, I’ll explain it in a bit)Whenever you upgrade a part of a tank, there’s a wait time (like most games where you can upgrade your stuff). My advice is to NOT spend gold in skipping time, since gold is very scarce, specially if you’re not gonna invest a penny on the game.Now there are 4 things you can add to your tank setup: Camouflage (They last about 16 hours, they boost some tank specs)(Require gold, some require only silver if you’re VIP) Decal (They last about 6 hours, they boost some tank specs)(Require gold) Ammo (There are 2 types: AP & APCR, AP cost silver, while APCR costs gold)(APCR causes more damage than the AP) Equipment (They only last 1 match, they can be used to aid in battle, repairs, damage boost, speed) (Most of them require silver, some cost gold) Gear (They last forever, unless you change them, they boost some tank specs)(They all require gold)I advise to ONLY spend gold on Camouflage and Decals if you’re gonna be playing a long while, since they last less than a day.For ammo. I advise avoiding buying APCR rounds, since they’re quite expensive. But if you ever do, and you just wanna purchase them just one time, please: Set the option to automatically replenish APCR rounds to OFF. There are 2 sliders in the bottom of the ammo menu when you go to purchase some, they’re both automatically set to ON, which means whenever the match ends and you’re sent back to the menu, it’ll automatically purchase them for you, spending silver & gold. Whenever you manually purchase APCR rounds Make sure the option to automatically replenish APCR rounds is OFF. Otherwise, you’ll lose gold big time.Regarding Equipment, ONLY EQUIP THE ONES THAT REQUIRE SILVER, because once the match ends, the equipment is “replenished”, but it’ll charge you for them as if you just purchased them, as well as the game charges you for how many times you’ve used them during the match. Which is why it’s a bad idea to equip the ones that cost gold.For Gear, since they all cost gold, these ones DON’T replenish, since they last forever, and you won’t be charged for them every match. Proper Silver use/farming Since at the end of every match, you’ll be charged for ammo & equipment, my advise is that you should always have some silver saved, and not spend it and end up in 0’s. Since you may lose some matches and not win much silver, that silver earned will have some deductions, and if you don’t have enough silver, some equipment may be removed from your tanks, and you might not even have much ammo for the next match. So always have some silver saved up (I advise around 50,000-80,000 will do). How to shoot/kill effectively during fights I’ll update this guide once I have some more free time.
