I’ve recently returned to the game after a long break with about 25,000 bonds saved up. I’m looking for advice on which tanks or items would be the most worth spending those bonds on. I used to favor mediums like the Leo 1 and heavies such as the 5A, 113, and Obj260, but I can play all classes well. I have no tier 8 premium tanks currently, but a few tier 10s like the Leo 1, Grille 15, and T62A. Any recommendations on purchases or strategies to best use these bonds?

If you play with clans or have an interest in clan wars, it might be worth waiting to grab a clan wars tank when they become available. They often require bonds and can be pretty powerful or rewarding if you get into clan battles. If you’re not into that, then the bond shop has some solid options depending on your playstyle.
Honestly, you might want to hold onto the bonds for a bit and get a feel for what’s new in the game first. Think about what play styles you enjoy now and what tanks you want to focus on. Since you like mediums and heavies, see if there are any fresh tier 8 premiums that fit your style, or maybe some new equipment that could enhance your favorite tier 10s. Taking some time to explore can help you make a smarter choice rather than rushing to spend them right away.
It’s generally a good idea to keep bonds on hand for a bit—watching game updates and patch notes can help with decision-making. Also, consider buying bond equipment which is expensive to remove, so only slot it in tanks you’re planning to keep for a long time. This way, the investment in equipment really pays off and improves your favorite tanks’ performance consistently.
Tier 8 premiums are fantastic for making silver and helping with the grind, so consider investing in a good one if you want steady income. Meanwhile, tier 10 premiums usually don’t make as much silver but can be strong tanks. The FV 215B 183 is a top-tier tier 10 TD if you lean that way. Other reliable picks include the Guard and 122 TM heavies, and if the T34 is still in the shop, it’s worth a look. It really depends on whether you want tanks that earn credits or ones that offer strong competitive play.
Your experience and favorite tanks should guide your bond spending. Patriot is a nice tier 8 premium that plays like a medium despite being a heavy, so if you want something a bit different but effective, give that a shot. Also, the French tier 5 M10 TD is cheap and one of the best at that tier — a cool pick if you want to relearn some basics or enjoy a solid low-tier tank. There’s a lot to choose from, so think about what you want from your garage before deciding.
Another smart way to use bonds is on experimental equipment for your favorite tier 10s or other key tanks. I spent mine this way on guns and it totally boosted my tanks’ handling and performance. It might not be the flashiest option, but it really upgraded how my favorite tanks feel in battle, making them more enjoyable.
For tanks, if you like memes and fun stuff, the Foch 155 is hilarious to play. If you want something solid and competitive in the medium category, the 121B is great. For TD lovers, the FV 215B 183 is a powerhouse and a good way to spread out your gameplay. Another route is to save your bonds and try to get the Concept 1B or 114 SP during Onslaught events if you climb high enough—they’re pretty sweet. So it kind of depends on if you want fun or competitive options.
That makes sense! I’ll spend a bit more time playing and see what’s popular or new before buying.
