There is no big difference.
After u reach 1 nation top tier u can buy premium for all nation and then u have the skill to play with it
Also u can grind whats left from the nation u started
Silver eagles? its silver lions
Ok right, but some beginners are still coming into the game. If you grind fast some tech tree with one, maybe two top tier premium it doesnt mean, that you are well-behaved and skilled player. What about AA, CSA and tactical game with other players? On top tier we dont want any of players who cannot or dont want play co-op game, are no friendly and have any AA or JET/heli for CAS.
Well there is a limit how much u can limit players
I belive that the majority of ppl will know to play well after reaching top tier throuh the tt
This is how the average fast grind player’s tech tree often looks on TOP TIER
am i the only person who prioritizes researching horizontally instead of vertically?
No, for example, I’m also exploring the tech tree row by row. But it doesn’t matter, as I wrote in the introduction, it’s important that the TOP tier is played by players who are worth it.
Top tier isn’t skill locked and shouldn’t be, its not a ranked game. I don’t like all these premium players either, but its just how it is. You have them at every rank and every BR and every gamemode, welcome to a freemium game
We want change it and we want only TOP without players with premium machines. Play a good, fun game with players who are worth it and are experienced War thunder players.
We need to find some solution, some compromise that developers can implement.
I think removing top tier machines would be a benefit for War Thunder, because top tier is a goal for many players and they would have to play more time because of it.
Benefits?
For other players, it would be nice if these players would come to the top tier with experience, more machines and better habits.
For Gaijin, anyone who wants a premium machine would buy a premium machine anyway, just on a lower tier. I’m not talking about a premium account, almost everyone pays for that.
For today (5.3.2025 game version 2.43.0.125) it would be great if they removed premium machines for ground vehicles from BR 11.0, maybe events machines too.
So +1 BR will be always without premium vehicles.
