I don’t have both lmao. all I can do mostly is just trusting my skill to get a 3 game kill with J-7D. plus I don’t have US bomber line researched so that’s gonna be a whole pain in the anus.
Lemme get an SS of my trees. that way I can tell which are better.
USA
CCCP
DEU
GB
FRA
SVE
Israel
This is the overall state of my tree.
If you have the J-7D I say go for China since you’ll also make quite a bit of money since that is a premium
I’m done with CN and JP. hence the omitted tree.
Definitely around a year of premium. Doing this in less than a year would be insane to me as Rank 6-8 make up the majority of RP
I kinda dont have the money for that atm tho. hence the post.
Fastest and most efficient line would be Israel and Sweden. They don’t have many aircraft/lines and that’d be the best.
Also I’d just hold out till the massive sales. In a month or two, Premium will be discounted heavily.
I would say Israel since Gripens and F/A-18s are not it in my opinion.
A tip here is to also wait for the sales, they usually have some sort of sale on premium time through the Gaijin store around late Oct - Early Nov somewhere, where the Premium time is 50% off. So a year of premium account would then cost ~40 Euro and 6 months would cost ~20 Euro.

Though historic sales are not a guarantee that there will be the same sale this year.
It can be either really. Sweden has 3 lines to grind aswell. They’re already Rank 5 Sweden and still Rank 4 Israel. The Meteor being the grinder for Israel and missing most of Rank 4 is an issue, while Swedish jets are generally good or decent at all BRs.
I can’t in good faith call Swedish aircraft decent at all BRs. It has been the most painful tree I have researched so far. There’s like two planes I would say are good rank 5 or above.
From fighting them and having friends who use them, that’s my experience. Actually playing them ofc is a different story, so I am probably wrong ^^
Rank 6 Sweden is a waist high swamp you have to wade through to get to something that is relatively okay in performance… x) was not a fun grind… I would actually almost recommend playing the SAAB-105G until Rank 6 is unlocked :P unless someone really wants to play the Lansen for history and general interest ^^
That’s what I did. Then pain with rank 6. Then JA37C which I would even call good.
I got gripen. and yeah it’s kinda yuck. grind hard. but tbf, my biggest problem with it is less about it’s FM, it’s the damn useless AMRAAM.
I have an option to grind US. I’m already at the BR where the plane are good anyway.
Wouldnt it be best to calculate averages per battle and total RP required for each TT and then divide said total with average RP ber battle?
Like just going off by pure math
this one is really vehicle dependent. some stuff i’m good at, some are just abyssmal until certain point, and some other are practically unplayable.
It’s the limited loadout and the the really weak engine. It’s just worse than F-16C, F-15C, F-15J(M) and J-10A at the same BR.
not just that, timezone dependent etc.
ive tracked my progress on the obj 292 event, keeping track of time played and average score per mission. All future ground events followed the same suit - same average score, same average time to finish a star. Ground battles are really consistent in this regard.
Ive also kept track of air events in similiar manner, but these are bit trickier and ive been getting constantly getting mixed results - I could get nothing but downtiers one day, the other Ive been constantly getting uptiers.
Despite this, if you want to know which of these trees you can research in a given time window, your best bet is to calculate your average performance with aircrafts you plant to grind with and base it on that.
It will be extremely rough estimate but its better than nothing.
