Well, because France didn’t get a promotion for premium vehicles, and wanting to research planes, I’m facing a dilemma that I can’t find the answer to, and the Wiki describes it quite succinctly. Namely, if I have a Mirage 2000C-S4 and buy a talisman for it, will I receive an exp penalty for researching Rank I-VII vehicles?
You can investigate without penalty one rank below and one rankabove. End
so what is the point of the talisman then? Do you have any detailed information where it is noted somewhere on Wiki or do you just think so?
don’t think so, it works like that. I have several. It is like a normal vehicle but investigates like a premium. It suffers the same penalties as a TT. It doesn’t give extra money either.
It is useful, I for example have put it on the F4J of BR 12 to get all the Rank 8 for much less money.
Talisman at 30% seems to me to be a waste of money.
With the talisman on a NON premium vehicle you research the tier below and above without penalty and with double the Rp gains, if you want to research everything you have to buy a high tier premium.
That’s the problem, gajin didn’t give a promotion for Mirage XD I’m not sick enough to spend 70 euros on one plane and since I have over 30k gold I thought that maybe the talisman would work… I was still convinced that they would give premium mirage on promotion
Having 30k gold … maybe if I would get a talisman.
I have enjoyed France, meteor, F86k, Mirage 3C, super etendard and I’m on my way to Mirage F1. TT is very enjoyable.
I play with a premium account and enjoy the ride.
You do have a 10% penalty for the tier below!
Buy a rank 3-5 premium. with this you can do up to rank 4-6.
Rank 7 will be OK with talisman, even if you lose 10%.
Talismans are not worth it unless you are a whale and spending money to buy SL. Or you have a crapton of sl lying around bc you dont expert crews or buy gacha boxes.
What? You don’t need money to buy SL in this game. You need 3$/month to buy premium. And talismans are fine if you plan on using a vehicle a lot. Just be wise about what vehicle you pick.
Of course, if the same vehicle also exists as a premium, you may want to think about it, but in case of lineups, “both” is an option too.
You miss out on a ton of SL using talisman. Ive been grinding pretty hard with a premium lineup and to crew and buy the vics I have gotten the past 3 days I only have a surplus of like 1m SL if these were all talismanned id be breaking even if that, they also have extremely low repair costs.
If these were all talismanned vics id be broke or have to wait for SL sales on buying vics.
Compared to what? To a similar premium? Yes, sure. We don’t need to argue that.
I am not objecting to premiums giving you more SL in the long run. But they do cost you a lot of SL to crew. So you need a pile of SL for them to be fully effective too, despite their purpose to generate SL.
I consider a surplus of 1 mio SL as being broke. My lootbox cutoff is at 30 Mio. ;-)
Generally, I would advise to have a plan to generate SL in vast amounts. Personally, I use SL boosters for this. I can convert them reliably and without stress (this matters to me) at a rate of about 800SL per %. And yes, I do use a premium vehicle along with boosters for that purpose. But I don’t have too many good SL boosters.
Hey people you have strayed from the main topic, it was regarding exp to research not SL, I have no problem with Sl, I have a surplus of 50-100kk SL per month, if I needed them I would ask the question regarding money. As I mentioned, the question was about the event Mirage because I have it, but I hate playing Turbo prop planes which is why I didn’t buy any lower ERY machine, and I thought the Premium Mirage would be on promotion which would solve the problem. If I’m going to buy a Turbo Prop then I’d rather spend 3k gold on a Talisman for an Event Mirage and exp the whole line with it, or wait a month until the Summer sale and hope that maybe it will be on promotion.
Edit: Overall, the talisman mechanics themselves seem outdated and not well optimised for today’s times, but it’s not for me to judge.
You can use the Event Mirage on rank 7,8 and 9 effectively. Rank 1-6 will be a pain, you need a different plan for that.
