Collection of F2P advice

[demon09 91]

Does anyone wanna add to this collection of F2P advice?

Here's some advice I've found that seems good.

- Upgrade very few turrets and hulls. Perhaps just 1 hull and 2 turrets: one long range, one medium or short range. But if you're happy with only 1 turret, it will be easier to save crystals. If you end up getting an OP turret augment for free, and you don't mind using the turret, upgrade that turret instead.

- Upgrade hulls and turrets beyond Mk2 only on sales. https://en.tankiwiki.com/History_of_Annual_Sales?attempt=1 

- Get brutus and upgrade it fully. Wait with buying a better drone until the high ranks, when you've saved enough crystals, and upgrade it only on sales. Use the better drone only when it's fully upgraded, it's not worth the consumption of supplies otherwise.

- Leave matches that are unfair

- Buy supplies only at steep discounts. 95% off in the shop, and 50% sales.

- Buy and upgrade protection modules only on sales, even at low ranks, since the protection isn't worth much.

- Use your first 550 tankoins to buy the 2nd and 3rd protection module slots, then wait for Tanki fund or similar event to get the 4th protection slot for cheap or for free. DO NOT buy the 4th protection slot from the garage for 5000 tankoins. https://en.tankiforum.com/topic/396099-esports-tanki-fund/

- If you're going to buy a turret augment, make sure that you know how it works and that you would be happy with it, since they're expensive. Buy it only on sale.

Free Module slot are way often nowadays from tanki fund, mini game or event, no need to hurry to buy slot so early,

As it take 1 year to save crystal to upgrade 3 modules to 50%, have 4 slots but weak protection is also no use, take time to use the free opportunities,

I have 4th slot long time ago, now all the free slot in events are no use to me.

Also, even i have max garage, i dont buy supplies, as container box give way too many supplies than useful augment, 

If you found you run out of supplies, you use too much OP drones, switch back to brutus, even at legend 104 rank, i still use brutus if not rush for event mission. My 20k per supply quickly dip into 10k per supply after using hyperion no stop for 1 month.

Tankicoin is most valueable thing in tanki, only use it for OP augment event pass or hull OP modules event pass, as after 2-3 years you will get all the lucky items from normal container like standard augments and hull status modules

Dont buy crystal augments, they will all be freely available from containers, and you will never use crystal augment in the end game anyway, legend rank are all using status effect augment or event OP rare augment.
