If a player is really, really good they might be able to break even at the highest tiers. This is not meant as a monetization element for the game but it is something that is good for the game. With traditional MMO’s everyone rushes to the highest level character and then that is all they would play. Armored Warfare will be healthier because players will need to go back down to lower tiers in order to earn credits. This helps balance the game for new players and veteran players alike. Players should want to experience the lower tier tanks anyway because they are still modern and fun to play. Players can pay to play their tier 10 vehicles all the time, but the Armored Warfare staff would actually prefer players to just drive their lower tier tanks to fund their higher tier vehicles.
