Never buy coins in game. Even if your account is through G-play or the apple store, you can register it to a plarium account. If a different account is attached to your email as a plarium account, you can dummy an e-mail to have as your main account's plarium email.

A-coins are 1:1 usd on the actual plarium website instead of 1:.8
Buying coins through in game purchases is a literal rip, where the "special offers" are the rates from plarium's website.

IE $99 USD= 8000 coins in game, 14000-16000 with "bonus"

But on the website store $60usd ALWAYS =8k coins, $99usd ALWAYS=14k coins

I really recommend jumping ship, but for anyone still opening their wallets to this 「dookie」 show, there's this.

They do sell A coins at website prices around once a week in the shop tab,but yeah for value for money the website store is the place to purchase A coins,I'm surprised they don't do bot and weapon deals as well to bypass the app store costings and keep all the money.

Any particular ship we should be looking at to jump onto ?,asking for a friend.

Its late,i need sleep,but just one more game

The in game "bonusee" matching their store prices used to be on the off-week to vault blitz.
It's just generally better to buy the 2:1 ratio for coins than nickel and diming or trying to figure out their casino math. Especially because they heavily overvalue things that are bought with coins like implant/BP crates.

Even with weapon/mech sales,the timegates/paywalls are still BPs and A-coins for upgrades. Ads and the season pass make credits less of an issue.

If you're playing through google play, the coin+crate offers they sell on their main website that sometimes appear as specials in game, can be bought with the G-play purchase reward points in the Gplay store instead of turning the points in 100:$1.

I'd take a screenshot, but currently don't have the game installed.

Wasn't kidding about jumping ship. The newest accounts don't even get ads, that's how much of a crunch plarium is going for. Unless War Robots does something to stem the bleeding, plarium is eating up the new playerbase and squeezing by being ~just a little~ better than War Robots.
