No doubt about that.
But before he goes on, he should understand the economy better, because it heavily penalizes certain actions, like death. Many players don’t mind dying for a kill, not understanding the effect this has on their income.
Just saying. It isn’t my income.
Key stat is average position in team. Don’t one death leave. Play with a lineup. Don’t give up on a battle when you’ve gotten nuked at game start, sometimes they end up being my best battles.
Also get yourself vehicles and lineups you enjoy. I have ground out multiple trees as a side-product of simply playing something I like. Ayit in Israel air tree, Object279 in USSR tree, Falcon in Britain, etc. Even with the experience penalty (depending on rank) the vehicles you enjoy will unlock everything sooner or later without you even having to think about it, while you’re simply playing things you enjoy.
I have 1700h of match time. I have been playing since 2014 on and off and only have top tier for France.
It’s all about grind efficiency. I never used any premiums to grind. I only really bought a talisman for the mirage IIIC to speed up a bit. I only had premium account for 1 year.
If you don’t focus on the grind it just does not give any meaningful progress. Probably does not help for me that I pretry much dont play anything but France anymore.
Situation is deteriorating and soon enough we will have CoD but with tanks, as even Gaijin themselves said they’re pushing “instant action” on us.
Good thing I’m coming towards an end of grinding ground units as future of GRB doesn’t look good.
Luckily enough i have all my desired mbts, just some CAS left to grind for those lineups, whether or not I’ll get around to it, who knows
Seeing how they are fixated on giving Air another game mode I think in the near future Air will overtake Ground in terms of player count, especially if Ground doesn’t improve it’s CAS spam problem.
I’m like a month away from finishing France, even though I’m upset that Gaijin, for their reasons, placed Jaguar, a light tank, in the TD line which has to be one of the worst lines in the game.
Then I’ll be left with China which seems like a pretty easy tree to grind out, unless they add a subtree line filled with copy paste (see Italy or Sweden).
What? This is an outrageous argument. The onyl bad vehicles imo are the sau40 and the auf1. The rest are great (except the Ca Lorraine just got fucking neutered but the gun is still great).
I won’t comment on WW2 copy paste slop.
CA Lorraine is absolutely disgusting now.
AuF1 is okay.
Foch is a very weird and niche vehicle not worth spawning in plenty of situations. I don’t see how that one would be considered anything more than average at the best of times.
10M seems fine in it’s niche use case.
ACRA is similar to M551 and at 8.3 it pretty much sucks ass.
MEPHISTO is a generic ATGM slinger and is pretty much the best of the bunch.
I cannot as I literally don’t have them. (Don’t plan on getting them either.
Yeah they killed my baby ಥ‿ಥ.
I hate it. The turret rotation is sooooo bad.
It’s not bad though. Just situational.
10M and ACRA are both situational. Both don’t excel at much but yeah the ACRA at 8.3 is a bit less workable. I had an alright time playing it though. You just cannot be too agressive. Pretty much the entire french tree at 8.0-8.7
Mephisto is good.
In summary it cannot really be called the worst line because most vehicles are pretty good for what they are.
Classic for HE slingers.
Extremely situational and hard to play.
Solid AP with very long reload, not so good gun depression and you have two big tumors to get overpressured by. Side armor is really thin and any angling means you’re most likely screwed. Awful 20mm as well.
10M could be decent in 6.7 games but ACRA isn’t worth playing in my opinion.
One of the worst it surely is.
Most vehicles are niche and demand specific playstyles that if you don’t follow you’re basically dead.
I don’t think the player “base” understands the dimension of this “effect”…
Being “very good” at the game modifies DRAMATICALLY the costs (less repairs) and rewards and make for a much much faster progress…
It makes for some misunderstandings where good players state that the rewards are more than enough (which is true for “them”) and “normal” players playing the same nation/mode/BR have difficulties keeping up…
This is actually “fair”-ish as merit is rewarded…but the difference is bigger than most players realize…
A good way to see this is the common advice to get “5+ kills” (number changes a bit, but always more than 3)…and this is mathematically impossible for most players in a match…someone has to die for those kills to happen…
Being good at “the economy” works very well towards this end too.
Fully agree.
The advice is unsound from another angle too. Getting 5 kills is pretty useless if you die 4 times for them. Much better would be 3:0 if you want RP. The first rule for RP would be to stay alive for as long as you can, as long as you can accomplish something in that time.
Don’t worry about supply for kills. Aside from realistic air, there is more than enough kills to go around. Gaijin just threw in more with free backups.
Hey guys, so after reading some of these coments i got into a first conclusion: i am at the same time good, because i have fun playing, and bad, because my stats show that i am very bad at the game, also, all the blogs and videos i watched about economy a long time ago are or outdated or i didnt understood them, also, i will start grinding or britain, sweden, or france to relearn how to play realistic, lastly, i normally get many kills per match ( incridable i started after the start of 2025 , even tough i went from playing all week to just at the weekends cuz of studing and working ) at ground i think its about 4-5 kills a game and in air its 2-3 in the mig 21 it is about ±10 after i played it for a year and mastered it, but even tough i have these stats i never tought that the amount of deaths would make my rewards worse, i only new that surviving more time in air gives you a bigger reward. This aint a final veridict but thanks everyone for the support and most importantly for the critics!
its a good start, but you may wanna play a tree with no suffering like the top 3, maybe sweden work. also about the economy problem that you have, you may need to have the skill first, yes you can use the prem you bought, but also the 5/10 kills wager. if you got any problem with sl just ping i will help you.
i avg 2M sl per week normaly and 6-9m if its only lock in focus grind type pf play
Honestly if SL is an issue get a best squad wager and 3 people to play with. As long as all 4 of you don’t die immediately it’s almost impossible to not make best squad.
For that you gotta have friends, who play warthunder, who have a high enough tier, who are decent enough at the game, and you gotta have enough of them. I fail at all of that
Simply join a squadron with such activity. You find them in this forum.
I already have a squadron but they all play arcade lol
Tried looking for squadrons where they were playing rb but they all had too high rank requirements
You can be bottom half of the team as long as 2 people stay realtively close through the match you get best squad. Anytime I play with riends and there is 4 of us we get best squad every single match without even trying
