I'm just curious, for those of you with a full L12 hangar (meaning 5 bots fully maxed out), how long did it take you, and did you spend real money or just earn it the hard way?
I've been playing for just over one year now and most of my bots are L10 with a couple L11 weapons. I'm realizing an L12 hangar may still be half a year away.
I mean, taking a Lancelot from L10 to L11 costs 59 million and then for L12 is another 96 million. Seeing that I earn about 2 million per day I figured it will take me 3 more months for that one bot. A triple Trident Fury is slightly worse costing 63 million for L11 and 103 million for L12.
I have spent a little bit on extra bots in my back-hangar, but it's only about 50 million in total value.

It took me 16 months to get a 5-bot 12/12 hangar from my first day playing Walking War Robots
The RL money I initially spent on War Robots was used to buy Au for slots, bots and weapons. In the beginning I did not know Ag was important so I did not pay for Premium or buy Ag.
Over that 16 months I probably wasted 3k Au rushing upgrades.
To bring my 5 bot hangar from 11 to 12 (weapons and bots) took almost 6 months total and I have been paying for 30 days of Premium every month since December 2016. I now have seven 12/12 bots.
Pay for Premium; after slots it's the best purchase you can make in the game if you plan to go to the top.

would you recommend to pursue the upgrades aggressively as in grind and what ever it takes or just play and when able to upgrade than do so. also is the effort worth it?

Just under a year, but I was buying premium since last June (3 months after I started) or so. Also started using Au to speed some upgrades from 11-12.
It should be noted that the Ancile buff was an indirect Ag nerf. I used to bust 1M damage games at least once a night, now I'm lucky to hit that once a week. Energy shields have lowered overall damage for all player. Avg damage taking a significant hit translates into lower Ag per day of play. Where I'd earn 5-6M a night, I barely hit 3M now.
So I'd expect a good 4 months tacked on to the average time needed to max a hangar.

With the current system? Well you might need to make some blood sacrifices...

I also would suggest premium (I am no where near 12 yet. approaching 10/10).
With judicious use, less than constant premium can work. I bought 10 days premium during the event because I knew I would be grinding anyway. Bought on a friday so I got two full weekends out of it. Raised my silver from 53 to 114 mil.

2 years in, I have only 3 bots at L12/12. I have a 7 others bots at L11/11.
I'm probably not taking any non-shield bots to L12 and no light weapons except the Pinatas to L12.
My goal was to have enough bots to field 3 types of hangars - an all power runner, an all knifer, and an mixed mid-range/knifer hangar.
If those new Dash bots weren't coming, I'd have all my bots to L 12/12 in about 3-4 more months.

I originally figured on 3 more months but the anciles and physical shields have lowered Ag from damage so much that I may have to double that.
I've been at it for a year and a half most are at L11.

I've just reached 9/9 and run out of Ag. Paid for Premium for the first time this month and it's allowing me to upgrade to 10/10 but without Premium it's going to be a colossal slog. Probably years

With all above said, it would be interesting to see the amount of 12/12 players and how the number changes over time. Because many people get bored even round level 10. Being stuck between 11 and 12 for half year with basically the same hangar...guys, thanks! I'll try every possible wep and bot at lvl 8 first. Also, next time I meet a 11/11 Lancelot, I'll have more understanding...they just need some fun on the long journey  |

would you recommend to pursue the upgrades aggressively as in grind and what ever it takes or just play and when able to upgrade than do so. also is the effort worth it? The answer depends on your goals in playing this game. If you want to play casually, are looking for a wider variation of play, and not try to reach the top levels of competition, then I would recommend upgrading at a leisurely pace. If you want to reach the top ASAP, then pay for Premium and grind. I don't think I can answer as to whether it is worth it to max your hangar as that is dependent on what you enjoy about the game. I enjoy high level coordinated play, but the fact that Champions League hangars have so little variation bugs the he'll out of me and has lessened my enjoyment of the game. Brit bot, Griffin, Fury, ad nauseam. The only thing that has piqued my interest are the upcoming Dash bots and a sudden small resurgence of Rhinos. Play the way that brings you the most enjoyment (without trashing the experience of other players, like by Tanking). |

I've been playing for 6 months, and based on my calculation it'll take another 5 months and 600mil to finish my 10/10 hangar. No money spent and I play a lot usually.

I have been playing for nearly 2 years and I am on the verge of an 11/11 hangar. I bought a little bit of gold in the beginning ($70 ish?) but now I only do premium for the silver. If I was to go back and do it again, I would buy premium from day 1 and no gold purchases. It felt like gold and wsp was going to be the primary limiting factor but in the long run it is just the silver that holds you back.

I just checked my profile, and I have been playing around 10 months.
-Spent $10 for Au to upgrade 2 Tarans to L12
-My hangar is 9.4/11.1
-Current Ag is 180 Million
I know I will run out somewhere in L12 weapon upgrades. Still debating on weapons to L12 or rest of bots to L10 first.
I am spending Au to speed upgrades, trying to time it when going starting next upgrade to max value of Ag vs. time.

it took me about a year, Ive run VIP the whole time and im pretty active (500 to 1000 cups). The thing I tell all my guys in the clan is work on your weapons first. Bots come and go.. but level 12 orks are FOREVER!
