First of all, I do not like spare parts system, and I loathe the timers. That being said, I would like to get views on how you spend your spare parts.

 

My current approach

- never drive tank without first three slots unlocked (and never pay gold)

- if using spare parts, only for slots 4-7 (second tier and first of the third tier slots)

- I skip tanks I have already aced (still many to go in ace-chasing)

- t10 tanks get slots 1-7

- t6-8 premiums get slots 1-7

- few tanks in t9 have got 1-5 or 1-6 

 

I could spend more, but where would it make most sense? T5 premiums? T9?

[Pururut]

Spend it all on low tier premium tanks,especially kmm and anko

#Weebpower

Realize that you dont have enough sp to equip a single tier 10

#Regrettinglifedecisions

Embrace the loooong sp grind via missions

...

 

Or do as our op did, use your mind.If you still have enough sp then equip the tanks you like to drive the most.

Ive used my spare parts to upgrade all my tier10 tanks to max-currently around15(i play mostly tier 10 and also i use some of them in CW). With the leftovers i did same with all my tier 8 prem( to have some variaty when making credits) and also maxed 2 of my favorite tier 7 tank-Rudy and M10. Other tank are all on tier 3 equipment because i dont bother much playing them! 

[MarsIsBrightTonight]

Because I'm running full provisions to make up for the disappearance of vents, i don't make many credits. So the first to be equipped were my premiums above tier v - I'm going to need them often. Then I equipped my favorite tanks with GLD. Still have 250k  reserve. Not feeling the need for much else ATM, or rather, I do, but I also don't want to waste my stash either. Mostly waiting for anything to change in this ****ed-up system.

It's not really spending tactic's I need. More earning tactics.

 

Sadly we are all in the same situation when it comes to getting hold of these blinkin things!

No fear, WarGreedy will make spare parts available at some future point, for real money, in some way.  No matter that many thousands of customers spent real money equipping tanks and on other features in game, only for WarGreedy to rob us all in update 3.8.

 

Never spend money on this game as WarGreedy will just change the goal posts again.  Credits are worthless and Premium tanks are not worth buying.

I've partially equipped my favorite premium, the VK 45.03, my highest tier, Glacial 112 (terrible mistake, enabled me to take it drunk joy riding), and my favorite tank, VK 30.01 P. 6 or 7 slots, a few fourth slots and that was all my SP.

70.000 spare parts for tier 1 tank !!!???

It takes around 20 battles to unlock tier 2 tank.

How will new players earn 70.000 spare parts in tier 1 ???

Non sense !!!

[reekoiler]

I re-rolled after 3.8 so my tactics may be differ from those who already had a garage.   I am aiming for a small number of tanks I like and plan to keep and those tanks will eventually have all 9 equipment slots ticked.   On the way, transit tanks will just have the first three, no spare parts will be used on them.

 

Like Broadsword, I wish it were easier to earn the damn things but their rarity has the effect of getting me salivating like Pavlov's dog once I amass enough to open another slot.   Today I expect to unlock a 7th slot on the KV1 (a keeper) and the thrill is palpable.   So, well done WarGreedy (I like that) - I think I like the new equipment system (with reservations) but not enough to give you any money.

Actually SP are available for gold. I f you have an easy mission, you can restart it for gold and you can get your sp. It is not a reliable way but you can. Sad story. All our gameplay is changed after sp. For example I want to get my Kuro Mori Mine ( GUP contest) but the greatest problem will be grabbing some crap spare parts. 

[DieJagdkatze]

I was lucky. I have small number of tanks, basicaly one favorite tank for each tier, this was my strategy from begining of the game. This was I can become master of a tank by playing it many battles. I got 1x tank for tier 1 2 3 4 5 7 and 2x tanks for tier 6 8 9 10. That is 14 tanks. I received around 1.700.000 spare parts on update and that plus what I played until now, was enough to fully upgrade all my tanks. But this was because of my inital strategy, of having one strong tank in each tier. But when apply this to general population it will result in less tank variety, because all will use strongest tanks in each tier. Also I can feel the pain for those that had many tanks and especialy premium tanks.... they cant play them anymore at full performance. I find it unfair even when buying a new premium tank, you can basicaly play it at full performance after 2 weeks... that sucks. Somebody who buy a premium tank is eager to play it right then and take full advantage of it, but not anymore.

...and again, 70.000 spare parts for a tier 1 tank ???!!! Really ???

Best post I have seen in a long time.  You and I are kindred spirits.  I am a re-roll from WoT.  I have 60+ tanks over there, and that's after weeding a bunch out.  Here in Blitz, I plan to have a few really good tanks, and at least 1 at each tier.  This equipment process is quite slow.

I really feel for the old-timers who got so badly scr.ewed. 

There are lots of good reasons to complain about WoT, but none come close to matching what WG Blitz did. 

However, I'm really enjoying the play style in Blitz and the interesting maps.  There are a lot of significant differences in Blitz.  Fortunately I found a good clan, and the guys are mentoring me in mastering the different interface.  I did spend a little to get garage slots and a BTSV.  Now my wallet is closed.  I'm here to Play4Fun, not to establish a second career. 

[Motorhead4Ever]

I used to have over 60 tanks in my garage, all fully equipped. I kept them all with 3.8 coming, to get as many spare parts as possible. After the update I reduced the amount of tanks to 15 favourite ones, which I fully equipped. My stats are steadily improving, and it made me realize something: it doesn't make sense to have an abundance of tanks in your garage.

 

Equipment is not a magic stick which turns a 50% player into a 60% player. I think it is also a mental thing: you THINK you are losing because you are lacking (all) equipment. And playing (too) many different tanks at the same time (in the garage), it makes you lose focus. My best and favourite type of tank is the heavy one, so almost all of my current tanks are heavy ones. Focus on one type, full equipment and playjng more with the same tank really made the difference for me. From a 55-60% player, I'm now mving in the direction of 65-70%

Wow !  This is a really good post.  You took a lousy situation and turned it around.

I'm still experimenting in the Blitz environment.  I did best with TD's in WoT, but these maps do not seem to favor them.

 

[jylpah]

While I agree with Mr Motorhead, I still feel upset about WG nerfing 95% of my tanks. I like to play many different tanks including (or mostly) very challenging (underpowered) ones. I feel less interested in playing non-equipped tanks. Especially VertStab is critical for meds and lights, but it is level 3 Equipment meaning I can get one more tank with VertStab in 2019. I don't find all the equipment so important, but anything related to gun handling is.

I did not say I was any good in it

It is just a bully of a tank, just picture Corporal Jones saying "they don't like it up them" and you will do fine

I play pretty casually but sure add me and we'll see if we can arrange something.

And no not Dutch, maar ik heb hier gewoondt elf jaar. Ik kan praten beetje beter dan schrijven. Which even I can see how hilariously bad it is. Stomme taal, eigenlijk ;P
