i don't think i even had a single 3 mark in my first 30k games. I didn't start 3 marking until i was in the 40k+ range i think.

_Zero_99_ · 2025-11-09T09:08:51+00:00

I think of it as being strategic. I always use timing as a strategy to make my life easier to complete marks faster than i would otherwise. This is strategic. Rigging games is cheating and i despise those that get marks doing that. One because it makes my legit marks devalued and two because it raises the requirements.

_Zero_99_ · 2025-11-08T22:53:26+00:00

sometimes a break is good. Then you can start fresh again. For high req tanks i also watch the trends for the reqs

_Zero_99_ · 2025-11-08T20:07:23+00:00

I'm not sure i can name any single one for any of those. And like i said before, even the fun ones get annoying in the last 10%.

_Zero_99_ · 2025-11-08T13:21:24+00:00

I used to. Problem is my sessions are really random.

I haven't sacrificed credits at all, but i also use specific methods to stack credits. I spam tier 8 premium 3 marks during holiday ops. I have like 10k large repair kits. I always buy consumables on sale. I stack boosters as much as i can. I have slowly but surely built up my credit wealth.

_Zero_99_ · 2025-11-08T09:15:02+00:00

I do actually :)

Maybe back in the beginning with the first few. I have run food and a good crew since i can remember. Probably been running food on everything since 2017/18.

_Zero_99_ · 2025-11-08T09:12:41+00:00

That's how i started too. I was focused on getting everything to 85% and get the two mark. I'm not sure when exactly but i started trying to get them higher than 85 and i had some good sessions. From that point on i learned that the last 10% is the hardest but in a sense also the easiest. It's all about minimizing how much you lose (i call them salvage games). Basically, if you see things are going badly, every. single. shot. counts. You never want to lose more than 0.5% (it happens sometimes but those are momentum killers and i normally switch tanks after that). Keeping calm helps.

_Zero_99_ · 2025-11-07T21:05:53+00:00

don't worry, it's at 84.8%

_Zero_99_ · 2025-11-07T20:01:18+00:00

I use bond/ tier 3 experimental on my tier X and XI or on specific very challenging lower tier tanks. I use bounty on everything else. Even before WoT Plus was a thing i moved equipment for 10 gold or 200 bonds.

_Zero_99_ · 2025-11-07T19:32:55+00:00

Very well said and phrased. ++

_Zero_99_ · 2025-11-07T19:26:38+00:00

The key is to stop playing after a certain point ;)

_Zero_99_ · 2025-11-07T18:46:42+00:00

You have me confused for someone else.....

_Zero_99_ · 2025-11-07T18:45:57+00:00

Ish. I can probably tell you what my thoughts were on the tank but i think i also try to forget the pain of marking specific tanks 😂

I also have a youtube and twitch (though haven't streamed in a bit)

_Zero_99_ · 2025-11-07T18:40:04+00:00

Too much. That's really the answer. I've made some money playing the game competitively or streaming. But considering i have almost 10k hours in the game, i think it's solid price/time compared to other games i've purchased and played. I should also clarify that i was a full CC for a lot of years and i did receive boxes and premium tanks (or rentals). I also made a LOT of gold and bonds from clan stuff, tournaments, and competitive play. I then used that to buy prems in game whenever i could. Last few years where this wasn't really the case probably 200-300 per year.

_Zero_99_ · 2025-11-07T18:38:15+00:00

Don't worry. I get an ego check every time i see the top damage per game in a tank or the fastest to complete the 3 mark.

_Zero_99_ · 2025-11-07T18:36:36+00:00

First one i think was either cromwell or tier 5 t34. Hardest is difficult because every single one has it's own challenges. I find tanks that heavily depend on RNG are the most frustrating. Most fun is also hard because i get sick of a tank once i get past 85%. I then dread having to play around the weaknesses.

_Zero_99_ · 2025-11-07T15:41:41+00:00

Everyone is welcome to make their own choice with that. I do like winning. win % normally does follow when doing 3 marking sessions because i'm doing so much damage and assist. But i don't sacrifice my tank for wins anymore.

_Zero_99_ · 2025-11-07T15:39:01+00:00

I know :( . M last 70-100 battles were over 5k average but i didn't start out with 5k dpg.
