Its like they gave RP bonus but took it back with constant uptiers. Just like governments when they stealth tax
I won’t also buy any Top Tier Premium due to that reason, when i wanted to grind Sweden i thought about the CV90105 but knowing how the Matches at TT are, and didn’t wanted to only field one Tank, i bought the VIDAR and Strv-81 at 8.0 instead and field it with Bkan so far and lots more fun with it, making way more RP as well because most people still respawn 2-3 times = more kills, longer match = more RP

I dont play city maps because i play britian and sweden there not brawlers. CIty maps are good for USA and russia, i guess it really depends what nation you play and who your playing against and what map. If you get USA and russia on same team and its a tight map you know who is going to win. Its not hard to tell what team is going to win or win by a steam roll before game starts, there are some other tricks but im not going to say them as gaijin will put a stop to it
I don’t care what Map i get with what Line Up. I field my whole Line Up if necessary and if i got enough SL and play throughout the entire Match until the end. And i also had some of my most amazing Matches with 6BR Germany on City Maps. My highest Kill Match on golden Quarry chilling at B with my Tiger got 17 Kills and that was after my second or third respawn
Had my best Matches thanks to that.
Few Days ago 16vs16 Match on Ash River at 6BR with two Caps. Went all to max length until timer run out. Only three players including me on my Team left. The Enemy still had 7-8 on their side and we didn’t even control our Cap for several minutes and two allies spawned in seven times and i six times, at the end after i used all my Tiger H1/E, Panther A/G/F i used back up for another spawn into Tiger E and won the match last second by killing an enemy light tank which caused them to lose enough tickets for us to win.
Today i also almost had a nuke but Match ended to quick but also only managed to do so with second spawn, sometimes i get nothing done → die, respawn → die, respawn → enemy makes mistakes, i get some kills and manage to turn match around. other times i get nothing done, team gets nothing done and gaijined all the time but that happens - thats part of MP Game - no reason for me to quit

You make more RP only in numbers but vehicles you research might not get full amount. For example if you make 1000 RP with premium of rank V any vehicle in I-VI rank range gets that amount of RP. But if you make 1000 RP with normal vehicles then vehicles outside IV-VI rank get only fraction of that (maybe even as low as 10%). Thats why players use only premiums as it gets full RP amount from rank I and its the quickest way to research tech tree.
Its also their intention to give a way for players which are not interested in WWII stuff to quickly jump over that vehicle era.
If you only have that one Premium yea but not when you have more Vehicles available to field at the BR you play and you don’t have to cash into Top Tier for fast Grind.
If you put a Talisman on your favourite Vehicle for each new 2nd Rank you can grind even faster and thats even cheaper than buying a Top Tier Tank for 65€
For Germany for example i put the first Talisman on Tiger, then Raketenautomat and could have done 2K / 2A4 next but just grinded without quick enough anyway.
And by that you will also always have a Line Up along the way with you to field and not just one single Tank for hundreds of Matches until you get one you can field with it.
You can even put a Talisman on 1-2 more along the way and still be only around the cost of a single Top Tier Premium which you will get sick off looking/playing at after hundreds of Matches just playing that one Tank to grind in Matches which aren’t fun.
I get what you are saying but look at whole ODL situation from their perspective.
Talisman also costs golden eagles. If you don’t have them and new players usually don’t they go for premium vehicles. So however you look at ODL issue Gaijin gets money out of it. Either for talisman or premium vehicles. Why would they change anything when its win-win for them?
Even on old forums there were hundred threads about this issue and its still here.

I am going to switch back full lineup when TO mode is added. Until then one tank lineup is most enjoyable way to play game for me as I do not have to deal with CAS and can be focused on tank vs tank combat. Tank vs CAS is simply BS as there is nothing you can do most of time. SPAA vs CAS is just boring. CAP vs CAS is uninteresting and also I will not grind air tree when I want to play with tanks.

If you like tanks only why you have a pilot avatar?
Just because I do not like CAS vs CAP does not mean I do not play Air RB sometimes. And just because I play Air RB does not mean I want to play all planes. In case of air I was only interested in France and Japan, meanwhile in ground I am interested in France, Japan, Italy, Sweden, China and Germany. So there are 4 nations where I do not care about air tree and will not spend any more time to grind it. Also I still do not take planes for France or Japan because CAP vs CAS is still boring.
The truth is that you have to admit that sometimes it is difficult not to do one dad leave, only when you see that three or four minutes into the game your team is doing lemming train, or is almost all tanking because they have already lost one, or that you see that everyone is going the same way and you know that it is a crushing defeat. Well, it is very difficult to continue playing, since 80% of the time it would be taking out a tank only to lose it immediately.
Japan got good turn fighters. This is usually the best answer to CAS in GRB. So if you are good at AirRB we can make good use of your skills there.
It seems like perfect common sense to me. The maps are not shrinking for no reason and the games are incredibly short. Nobody seems happy with the maps as they are so who are all these people asking for small maps and short games?
ODL seems to be a game killer in Top tier and a direct result of Gaijins action and direct entry into top tier for new players.

When I play Ground RB I want to play with tanks not planes. And just because they have good turn fighters that can deal with CAS does not mean it is any less boring. It is same as diving at first ground pounder or base bomber you see in Air RB.

It is not that simple. More and more players understood that CAS is not only bombing. More fighters join the battle who are not interested in bombing or attacking ground targets. It is not that easy anymore up there.
Yes, sometimes you come along those mindless strike pilots who are easy targets.
I wonder if ODL would be reduced in a GRB game that was tank only .It would be interesting to run TO GRB for a month and analyze the stats.

Still does not change a fact that when I want to play GRB I want to play tank vs tank combat or want to grind ground tree. If I want to play with planes I just hop into ARB.

Maybe there can be some reduction from players who do ODL because of CAS, but I do not believe it would be that significant as there are more reasons why people ODL.

I don’t want to change your mind. I was just in the hope we can get more good pilots that could help prevent CAS-spams and make GRB more enjoyable for other tankers.
Im grinding 2 nations , sweden 8.0 and brit 7.7. I am not looking forward to entering top tier by what i keep hearing. Im surprised someone has not sued gaijin for something that is not playable
