Gaijin doesn’t want to decompress because they’re afraid we wouldn’t want to wait in queue, but then they force us to watch our flaming plane spiral down from high altitudes into the ground because otherwise we pay full costs… Interesting isn’t it?

honestly, i dont know why repair costs are still a thing in 2026.
Rewards are good enough that its difficult to consistently go negative.
Plus with how small some repair costs are they dont really serve the same purpose they used to (balancing)

Get Premium Account/Time brother. You cannot lose SL’s from battles with Prem Time.
Prem Time goes on sale 50% off 2x a year, you can get 180 days for ~$20 from the webstore, so ~$40/year at the 50% sale price. Very reasonable on sale compared to any other game that sells expansions yearly for $60-$80, or more. Makes life a lot easier and more enjoyable.
As with anything in life, if it is “free” then YOU are the product. You “can” play War Thunder for free, but YOU will spend 3x-4x more time to get to the same place with premium time. Or even longer in certain circumstances, especially if many of your matches do not go well.
The choice is yours. I choose the Premium Time route. ~$40 a year is much cheaper than spending 4x+ more time grinding RP’s and SL’s. The math is simple, work for a handful of hours, or even 1 day’s wages and get Prem Time for the year, or spend weeks/months/years longer grinding without Prem Time.

It’s frustrating, but just play 5 match of Naval, then you can get around 250K-300K sl
Ia there any way I can donate my 147 unused wagers… For now I’m too scared to use them
Recycle 200 of them and win 1 Million Sl.

200?
if I rember correctly ye… or was it 100?
Yeah 100… Also what do you mean 1 million SL? Usually I get boosters or back ups for nations I don’t even play
Also, I just found out today I can kill my own team with artillery and I lost quite a bit of SL… (I didn’t mean to, I sent it to the enemy occupied C point and by the time it arrived a BMD-4M2 decided to take the point)
And they usually proceed to blame you for calling in artillery there
Yeah I know, I don’t know why they aren’t invulnerable like when you try to shoot them
There is a higher chance of you getting 1 Million SL if you open 100 of them at once if I remember correctly.

Even in arcade…
I guess its like the same as bombs from planes, something extra to think about before doing some stuff and still failing time to time cuz of enemies in blue

IF repair costs seem to you annoying in rb, then try sim battles, you’d be surprised :p

It’s just silly the idea of a game where you can have a negative income. And not so long ago you could have a loss even with premium time.

Ahh the advantage of premiums (low repair cost)
that’s what they say, but WT basically tries to frustate to the point you open your wallet.
Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s one of the reasons.

“You can’t handle the truth!!!” And the truth is i have plenty of premium vehicles in every damn tree, but I actually want to play the vehicles I unlock, and it’s annoying when you have to switch between what you want to play and what you need to in order to farm SL. Easy!
