No profit from Freedom Fighter hunting? Hallelujah!

My only income for the time being is FF medals hunting (except working ofc). I took time and effort to find out whether it’s worth it. The maths is disappointing.
To get the medal you must fight in a series of successful Resistance Wars and make 25, 50 and 75 kills in each war. The first series starts from 3 wars and each next series adds 1 war to the sequence – 4, 5, 6, etc. (25/50/75 kills in each). After the series of 10’s the counter resets to 3 and starts anew.
God bless Bill Gates, Excel gives us the number – you must score 7,800 kills to complete the full FF quest row. Each kill costs me around 3 currency (30 energy per kill on the average at approximately 0.1/energy price). This amounts to 23,400 currency total to pay for food.
I try to fight only in air rounds so I almost have no weaponry expenses. Free tickets drop from weekly challenges but they are not enough. Changing locations back and forth to participate in battles makes the money sink even deeper. Say, 50 travels at 40 bucks per trip makes another -2000.
-$25,400 is the debit side.
And how much do I earn? With decent 1% tax each FF medal brings me 990 currency. 24 successful wars generate 23,760 cc. Net loss is -1,640 сс. Not to say that sometimes RW’s are not successful and you may fail to score the required number of kills due to lack of energy pool.
Looks frustrating given the effort it takes. I hunt like a mad dog never getting richer. Captain Obvious, you finally here. 🙂
Your ideas and experience on how to make my ends meet would be highly appreciated.

Using ghost boosters and bazookas won by the daily reward (for 25 kills also an energy bar) saves a lot of energy. With one ghost booster you can do between 55 and 60 kills. Travel mostly to nations with a lot of training wars saves you many tickets. Between some nations you can travel for 20 cc (first put your moving tickets for sale for a high price).
I hope these tips are of any help.
Everything in the universe exists for some reason. This reason in particular is your wallet.
What Niemand says. You can fight barehanded if you use a ghost booster: 1 kill = 1 hit, even without weapons. I do the 25 kills in air battles, the 50 & 75 kills with ghost boosters (and a few bazookas to finish the 75)
A few tips:
1. As Niemand suggested - use Ghost boosters, but use them only on the 75 kill stacks. Try to use them carefully - they are valuable. With some good connection and experience you can score up to 60 kills with 1 booster. It works as a bazooka - 1 hit = 1 kill (+ you will rank up like crazy, helping you make a good pile of EBs for the eRep Bday on day 3650). As you are mostly flying you are probably not concerned about lvl-in up fast, therefore I recommend you to use the boosters with no weapon - it will still have the 1 hit = 1 kill effect and will save you a lot of weapons.
Your Energy pool is probably 680x2 = 1360, so you can do the 75 stack in 2 Air rounds of 1 eUS RW. Consider that too as a way of flying more and saving some Ghost Boosters.
Do not waste your bazookas - If the admins introduce the terrain mechanics, they tested recently - the zookas will be very valuable.
2. Don't travel - the eUS has 2 active training wars and one that is a bit broken. All the RWs in Ukraine and UK should be successful, so you will have a plenty of grounds to score your kills. Concentrate on these and do not travel abroad to fight in other RWs.
3. Build some Q1 food companies (well, wait for the eRep Bday to pass (Day 3650) and some players say there will be a Black friday a few days later) - that depends on the amount of gold you have, but it will be good if you can build few Q1 food companies. Do not build food raw companies - just Q1 Food. Depending on how many you can build you might be self sufficient on food and cover your expenses for the Food raw and work as a manager. With, say, 10 Q1 Food in Lincoln you'd be able to produce 1860 Q1 Food = 3720 Energy, with about 90 cc FRM+WAM cost. Adding AARP's 4k Energy you will have 7720 Energy available/ day. I doubt you'd be able to discharge more than 5k Energy/day so you'd be left with at least 2720 Energy, that you can sell and cover your costs.
Good luck

Great advice 🙂 o7
FFs are not good strategy for everyone at every str and hit level. I am closing in on my 432 FF and I am financially doing well from constant FF activity. They also lead me to Mercs as a secondary goal, but not that much as you can see. Fenymann offers good advice on techniques that work.
You forgot, with the boosters and the bazookas, also the mercenary medal: mercenary and freedom fighter are related in almost every battle. I just need to Add 50 or 75 kills more for a mercenary in few random wars, and rounds of 0, 25 and 50 kills more for every FF.
I don't think anything in this game really earns profit once you calculate weapon and food costs, etc,.. Unless you just fight for TP points, medal hunt, and look for good CO's ... Most people rely on their MU's commune system to support their fighting...which is not really a bad thing, just how it is,..
However as many have pointed out, being crafty and maximizing every bit of boosters, energy, prestige points, etc, is the best way to 'earn' a buck,.. 😃
