Honestly the best way is to find a premium vehicle with a good SL Boost that you can play well and, more importantly, that you genuinely enjoy playing.
That way its a pleasure to rack up some SL and time flies when you’re doing it.
To illustrate the point, if I pull up my service record and sort by SL generated we can see the top vehicles here:
The top 6 vehicles are all premiums, and mostly planes. The top scorer is the MiG I used to grind two different free plane events, and I’m a Ground Realistic main so take that with a grain of salt.
After it is my beloved A.C.I, a mere rank II BR 3.0 tank has generated over 8mil SL for me. Not only do I really enjoy playing it, but its very good when you know how to use it. It doesnt even have a particularly high SL booster either, only 100%. The Hellcat and Corsair below it both have more than twice as much of a booster.
Anyway as long as you find at least one vehicle you truly enjoy that has some kind of booster built in, like a premium or event vehicle, you shouldn’t have too much trouble getting SL out of it. Its better than buying premium because it never goes away. Since you like Air RB consider that MiG, I find it sits in a nice sweet spot of technology. It has Radar missiles for head-ons, but it the radar isn’t super complicated, and you don’t have to learn how to use countermeasures because it doesn’t have any. With a 750% SL booster you don’t have to be a great pilot to get money from it, as my record proves.
Alright, tho are there ways to efficiently gain golden eagles without spending real money in the game?
I can’t really put money in warthunder at the moment
Kind of, its just not as efficient without the boosters, but if you find a vehicle you can consistently play well it can still generate SL without being premium. Go back to the picture in my previous post and look at number 7, the Fox. It’s one of my favorite tanks, its not premium, and its generated 4mil SL. Then look at number 10, the SARC MkVI, another tank I really like thats neither premium nor high tier, and its made 2.5mil.
Technically if you play the event to get an event vehicle like my A.C.I you dont have to spend money either, but the current event is almost over so if you haven’t been playing it you wont be able to catch up for free.
It’s also worth noting that Naval has consistently higher SL boosters than any other game mode, so if you fancy a bit of ship combat it can be very profitable.
Good to know, but my question was, can I earn golden eagles (not silver lions) in some way so I can then purchase premiums without buying the golden eagles with real money?
I know there are some ways to get Golden Eagles, but none of them are anything I’d call efficient. The best you can do is use a content creator’s code for a discount or wait for a sale but that still entails spending money.
Technically selling event vehicles, but thats not efficient, as simply going to work will net you more GE per hour than if you grinded the event vehicle and sold it.
This way is a bit difficult but works if you learn how to play
Basically u buy a top tier aircraft or tank but it should only and only squadron
Due to rank difference u get very little rp but many silver lions so basically u grind sl but with the disadvantage of repairs but as i said u need to learn how to play then u are all good
(Id recommend to watch radar tutorials for top tier)
10 kills wager for Ground. (Only 5 kills in RB). Its not per life but per game so if you have a good lineup its ez. 10 successes gets you 500,000 SL for wagering 10,000. You get 10 failures before wager ends. Easiest method, paired with antimech order and boosters is the cherry on top. I use this method when i’m really need quick SL. Use them wisely as they are rare(you may get them from weekly login rewards).
edit: ik this post is about air and not ground. Which is why i mentioned i do this only when im desperate for lump sums.
Yes because if you have played a for while you know what you are doing. If you look at the post from which i quoted from - a lot depends on the MM. So if you play a few games and see stable nation allocations it is no problem to get 15-20 games without a loss.
No, because the MM tends to change during the day and changes also weather conditions. Worse weather limits my strategy to focus on the best enemy player.
Using it for wagers: Yes, i use it for 10 victory wagers with 80-90% success rate.
Don’t get me wrong - i don’t need SL or RP, i play just for fun. But even i have noticed that i have certain planes with ~ 70-80% WR.
I do, I main the Ouragan and the Mystere II which I both spaded, and I’m getting really comfortable with them. But for now I’m not good enough so it’s not a safe way to get sl, and I’d still like to unlock rank 6 soon so my rp doesn’t go to waste
