Edit: They improved the economy after massive backlash. I can recommend this game if you have a big autism brain and like military vehicles. Playing low tier is by far the most fun, up to tier 5/V. Tier 5 is where the butt cancer starts.

This games economy has gotten so bad that I can't reasonably progress and it actually discourages you to actually play the game to the fullest without buying premium.
example: I had 90K SL before the battle. It was a close battle(RB ground) and I spawned in all my 6 available vehicles. To you know, make an effort and try to win the battle. After the battle I had 70K... Next vehicle costs like 120K + the crew training cost.

This game actively punishes you for having fun and trying to make a proper effort. It wasn't always like this.
The most annoying part is they can easily fix this by removing the "repair cost" or at the very least drastically lower it. Something that the community has been complaining about for years.
Repair cost has nothing to do with "balancing" the game. It has always been a BS excuse.
