It's me The noble Prinz and this is my F2P account where I will use to stay in touch with the state of the game for F2P players and right off the bat I can tell you credits/ xp grinding is the big one. Usually all me new accounts gets a premium tank from the free containers but not so lucky this time. What I did notice is the huge container only drops the AC IV and SU-100Y so that is a big plus from WG to try and stop new players who are F2P from entering high tiers without in game experience and knowledge. The tutorial is same old but selecting the starter nation main screen has changed along with how much gold you got because I think way back you got around 1K gold but now it's dropped to 500 gold max.
The nation I selected is China and oh boy is this nation a bad one to start with because most tanks do not module share at all and I'm currently at tier IV M5A1 with the top gun no top engine/ tracks, got the Pz III plus researched the Hetzer so I can get my hands on the Stug III which is great at credit grinding because again no premium tank so I had to make do with using elite tanks elite xp to convert to free xp to unlock modules and with the Hetzer coming up which I remember really sucks without the too gun and engine means I've got a lot of elite xp to bank but I have the best tier III tank in game known as the Pz III because it has speed, great gun and decent armour. Anyway that is all and I'll keep you updated if anything noteworthy appears.
