May I ask you a few questions?
Why grind?
Why did you invest $600 in the game?
What do you want to achieve in the game
Don’t grind. Play the game. The vehicles are unlocked on the side. Play some matches and enjoy the game.

When I counted the days and hours correctly: 788hours in battles
Yes and the other 1k hours in test drive and hangar
Willing customer, you were not forced to spend anything.
WT owes you? nothing - read the disclaimers.
Buying high tier doesn’t give you high tier skills.
My brother purchased for me some top tier premium tanks but they are pretty much unusable until I grind tanks to that tier and learn how to play/survive
War is a grind and the grind is important,
You learn the maps, the places you go/don’t go.
You learn your vehicle, most importantly you learn other peoples vehicles and when/how to fight or run.
Step away from the grind for too long and you will forget these important details.
As for SL and Crew Experience.
I purchased a 3.7 and 5.7 premium Navy lineup that pays for whole presets of sea, ground, air.
Should watch the South Park Freemium Episode
i mean if you spend over 60% of your time in game doing non-rewarding activities your grind will feel much worse that what it actually is, if you spend your time wisely you will have a much better time, in my experience the only thing that actually feels grindy is top tier ground vehicles in specific tier 7 and 8 where the experience to spade vehicles increments a lot, planes on the other hand i find them much easier overall to spade.
I don’t understand you at all.
War Thunder is NOT a race to the top tier. You unlock new vehicles - play them and have fun. That’s what War Thunder is about.
By the way, the general perception is that top tier sucks and is actually not very fun.
Except Gaijin obfuscates all of that. As you admit.
This is not war. Its a game.
It may not necessarily be about a “race to the top”. It may be a case of “I want to use X vehicle(s)” or the perticular battle rating you are at you just dont find fun. I powered through Br6 ish of britain ground as fast as possible becasue it sucked and did eventually give up and just buy the Challenger DS. I dont regret it at all.
There are aspects of the game, that unfortunately just suck if you dont have premium time. Like the fact you only get 1 map ban and only with premium. Should be 1 when free and 1-2 additional bans with premium.
The grind really isn’t hard if your at the required skill level of the vehicles your using and your taking full advantage of the games mechanics to grind efficiently.
I’m curious what premiums you bought? Not all premiums are created equal, some are terrible.
Nothing obfuscating about it, it’s all in writing (and has been discussed before).
A game called War Thunder
Not going tit for tat with someone with ¢0
BS. The way the “meta game” of WT, of how to progress, much less how to play the actual game, is completely neglected unless you go thru and read a dozen pages of dense, badly written wiki pages. Which most casual players don’t/can’t take the time to read in what is presented as a casual game.
Just sounds like you are obfuscated.
Or skipped the tutorials, or don’t actually play the game enough to have fun or get good.
Wiki is a blessing for those who want to perfect their skills and I highly recommend it to all.
These Forums are also a great place to search for info once you get past the toxic keyboard warriors.
Edit:
Not gonna soak the thread by replying to your irrelevant spam with more posts.
Will respond here:
I suggest you cease assuming, though that appears to be all that you do, anyone who bothers to look can see I have done only 410 more hours than you. Stockholm indeed.
I thought 3.5k was low
Grind? Sweet Jesus, how about simply enjoying the game. If you can’t, suggest finding something else to do with your free time.
To put it very. Bluntly he isn’t wrong. There are many mechanics in the game that speed up grinding and reduce the time and rp needed. The game has many ways to speed up the grind. If it was so bad we couldn’t have grounded out all the tech trees. Knowing the game and playing with friends is the trick
It IS bad otherwise this thread wouldn’t exist. Gaijin abusively exploits its control of the “economy” of the game and the very structure of how it functions in order to maximize its ability to monetize the desire of its users to “just play the game”.
This got marked as “spam” lol.
Frankly if the RP gain was double the usual it would still not be good enough. It really is exploitative and BAD.
The game is good, the grind is bad. Gaijin knows and abuses that so by that extent Gaijin is bad.
EDIT: Oh and let’s not forget the promised research boost for new nations which keeps getting delayed and is now probably a year overdue. SO MUCH RP COULD’VE BEEN GAINED IN THE MEANTIME!
I have friends who play without premium and have researched multiple trees unlocking new content regularly. It’s about knowing the game and not assuming it’s game design when your struggling. As long as your making rage posts complaining the game is broken rather then asking what can I do better you will always struggle. The truth is it’s you not being good enough on a regular bases and not using the mechanics that shorten the grind.
6 months since the review bombing happened. The roadmap was about a month after that give or take. The updated list was 30th January just over 3 months ago
…how long have you played this game for?
Even at best, if you slaps in the match you’re not going to get more than 15k, 20k? Btw exp is dependant on time spent. i did a game that lasted half an hour where i got some kills but nothing special with leopard I and i got something like 23 or 25k with PREMIUM, and that’s rare. Considering that high tier vehicles require 200k to 400 to search, how can you say it’s not bad? It’s laughably bad. Considering also that i suck pure ass, I’m not going to get more than 5-7k average rp.
I got plenty of premium tanks, T-55am, Merkava 2d, M51,Amx 30 super, Leopard l44, I got the chinese pack with T-62 and type 69s, i also got the ztz59a, black prince, rooikat 105, Vrcc, T-29, Tiger II and a bunch of ge vehicles, amx 13 ss11, amx 30 and others at low tier. I don’t have any 10.0 premium like turms or Leopard 123.
