After every match your tank get automatically repaired and ammunition refilled. If you don't have money and you did a bad game winning low credits resulting in having insufficient funds for the repairs... then you start with your tank bruised or with less shots?

2From what I remember about the little bit I played on the PC version, eventually unless you invest into micro transactions, you will be in the negatives even if you have a great game. Repairing, refueling, and refilling ammo will eventually make it so where even if you have a perfect game you will still come out of the game owing credits.– MkalafutCommented May 8, 2014 at 12:34

@Mkalafut This is possibly true if you're buying the "premium" ammo for credits instead of the micro-transaction currency. If you refrain from purchasing and using the premium ammo (which provides a greater armor pen than the standard AP rounds), you'll be able to come out on top credit-wise more often than not.– ShaunCommented May 8, 2014 at 17:17

It's almost impossible to lose credits continuously at low tiers, you'd have to deliberately try to make it happen so it's not an issue that can occur in reality.– mechatankzillaCommented May 9, 2014 at 14:19

@Shaun you still have to pay credits for ammo, the ammo getting progressively more expensive as the tier of the gun goes up. So at higher tiers, if you shoot a lot, you might indeed burn through more credits in ammo than you earn, especially if you are a poor gunner and miss a lot (or just go in guns blazing at trees and walls for the heck of it).– jwentingCommented Aug 4, 2014 at 11:22

@jwenting. Correct. Hence, why I said "you'll be able to come out on top credit-wise more often than not" and not "you'll always be able to come out on top credit-wise". :)– ShaunCommented Aug 5, 2014 at 6:35

The game won't let you enter a match with a damaged tank. It must be repaired before you can queue for battle with it again.
You can always get the tier 1 tank in each nation for free. If you happen to have those all damaged and can't repair any of them due to cost, you can "sell" them (for 0 credits) and get a new one.

Tier 1 tanks and guns are free to repair and rearm. Tier 2 guns on tier 1 tanks still cost though. Commented Nov 5, 2014 at 8:02
