Tanksgiving Event
Global leaderboard is full of cheaters. They all seemingly doubled their points in the last day.
i purchased my first event pass. Played more than usual. And ended up with 30k points total.
Let's look at the math to get better than 30k (with all xp from various events finished and used)
5 points for heavy tank.
5 points for quick victory
At digital age/space age for the winners, let's take out quick victory because the time to do so and volume of bases to simply hit (let's do the math to show)
148k points for winner = 118k more than my max
118 /5 points = 23,600 (the number of heavy tanks trained and or quick victories)
Also to note, #10 in the global leader board is the only Fresh nation. So #1-9 has the usual training time wait.
With enough room to train 6 tanks at a time between two factories, 23,600 / 6 = 3933 times to retrain heavy tanks. Delete, retrain, repeat. However, it's not That easy, because now you have to raid somebody (or 2-3) to get your oil back to retrain 6 heavy tanks. Let's say 2 bases, that's 10 extra points if you get quick victory.
So, train 6 tanks = 30 points + 10 points for two quick victory = 40 points.
A battle might last 3 min, plus 2-3 to find somebody you can actually hit, so 5 min total x 2 battles = 10 min, plus retrain times 5 minn between the two battles, for 15 min total for battle and retrain.
118k points (the extra xp over and above) / 40 points from example above = 2950 times they'd have to repeat the above example, taking 44,250 minutes, 737 hours, or 30 days.
so yeah, we can safely full out doing any battles to achieve any xp
This leaves retaining, delete, repeat with purchasing oil to train the tanks.
1 mk9 tank costs 1400 oil, x 6 tanks = 8400 oil.
If i was to fill my current oil levels using crowns, i would get 189k oil for 4288 crowns.
I could train 6 heavy tanks at a time for 22.5 times non stop before i need another 189k oil, and spend another 4288 crowns (for oil)
That now gives me 135 tanks x 5 points = 675 event points. Only 117, 325 points to go. Or repeat the above cycle 173 times. That's going to cost 741, 824 crowns, just in oil.
This would cost in terms of oil, 173 x 189k = nearly 32mil in oil.
Then there's the cost to speed up heavy tanks in terms of crowns. (For non French as most top 100 are not French)
Whatever it costs to speed up 6 heavy tanks, times that by 3933 to get to the required 118k extra event points.
At 50 crowns to speed 6 tanks, it's nearly 200k crowns, at 25 crowns, 100k crowns total.
The only way to do it, is to crown (speed ups) because time available is limiting factor.
900k crowns was needed to win.
#100
Even #100 global is 54k more event points. Which is still 400k worth of crowns to do better than what i did.
BHG would of made 300k u.s. dollars from this event purely from crowns purely from the top 100.
Pay risers for the guy who came up with this idea.
Or
If BHG didn't make that money from the top 100, it was full of cheaters, and i want a tank engine
