Cinurwe 6 Report post Posted February 10 I know this is a tired topic, but 90 minutes of gameplay + 8 player kills + 1 A cap = -45k SL, and only 12K RP. What's the point of having a Premium Account again? This is the answer to the SA server farmers? Not actual moderators, but universal player punishment? Better question, does a dramatic change in economy rewards merit a refund for the annual premium account I paid for right before this "enforcement?" There is no "playing just to have fun" when the act of playing and even doing well is parasitic to the ability to play with a pay-to-play mode. Anyways, lesson learned. Maybe this can be fixed before my 350 premium days expire. This fool can only hope. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waelse 272 Report post Posted February 10 UA is the problem. You need to stay alive 15 minutes between the kills. But yes, it sucks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDC5000 52 Report post Posted February 11 Don't worry,Gaijin is collecting data for SIM : "Additional info: Since the game session creation system in aircraft SB is different from other game modes, changes in aircraft SB require additional research and statistical collection. Changes in this game mode will be announced separately."Isn't that right @StonaAny time now.They are rushing to meet basic expectations of the playerbase.

You mean they "need to collect data" on the economy system they initially made like this, with an obviousy outcome in sight? It's fun how economy gradually deteriorated over the years, with people complaining eversince, while Gaijin constantly "researching on how to improve"... it's nothing but a big charade while pressing more and more on the people to having to buy stuff. There is no other explanation. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no other explanation. I see it the same way. The most efficient way to play SB nowadays is to fly Premium planes only. they cost next to nothing compared to regular ones and give much more SL / RP. Example: I fly the AV-8A a lot It costs 8,300 SL to spawn and has 2500 SL Reward/min. Here's the AV-8C: I still have it stock, but the spawn cost would be at ~19k SL and the reward/min is at 1560 SL/min. If I have the choice and money, of course I'll fly the premium. But it shouldn't be this way in my opinion. Plus, the way the economy works right now, it also incentivizes players who have been shot down once or twice to LEAVE THE GAME BEFORE IT ENDS. What does that mean? That players will be more likely to create pacts to not shoot each other down to maximize SL gain. Then comes Gaijin and sees that people are still making money and think that it's ok. No, it is not. As mentioned by other players in the forum, these economy changes have made it stressful to play instead of fun. What happens when a game isn't fun anymore? People leave. I barely recognize players anymore since most if not all players I knew have moved on to other games like IL2 or DCS. It's amazing to me how stupid the one making these decisions at Gaijin must be to think that it would improve anything. I'm also starting to believe that if it's not in russian, the devs ignore what is said in the english speaking community. I do not know the reason for this, but it would explain why we complain and complain and complain and nothing happens. Anyways. I'm gonna go play some 4.0-5.0 EC now. Cya PS: Btw, I'd love it if the AV-8C could finally get custom loadouts like the premium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoNerdo 11 Report post Posted February 19 Economy above Rank 4 is completely broken. Even there you find planes like the Ta-152-C3 with spawn costs of 24.338 SL!!!! And you only get 1220 SL/min. And even if you don´t die and land your plane without a single scratch at the end of the battle, you have to pay this absurd price of 25k SL. For a 5.7 Plane! This is just a slap in the face. "Anyways. I'm gonna go play some 4.0-5.0 EC now. Cya" Best advice for everyone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
