no money
Sure, everyone says that. How do you have a computer and the internet then? Is every company on earth supposed to pay for you?
If you don’t want to pay for Premium Time (or “don’t have money”) then don’t complain. AGAIN, if YOU play for “free” then YOU are the product.
Too much complaining about “free” things not being easy or more free.
play something u’re good with and don’t mess it up, problem solved.
Even with a premium, repair costs are absurd.
Without premium:
Ho 229 costs 17.3K SL to spawn in air sim. Max income: 19.8K assuming you get 1050 score ( 2 kills), survive full 15 minutes AND land.
If you don’t land, you only get 15.84K SL.
If you land, but do so before 15 minutes elapse and then get shot down at 15:30 minutes in - you get 15.84K SL as well.
If you have premium,
you STILL pay 17.3K SL to spawn, you just cannot go negative when leaving the battle (however you can still result in net 0).
And premium increases your income to 19.8x1.5= 29.7K. Or, again - if we don’t land: 23.76K.
1050 score still.
What if it’s just 1 kill?
450 score gives us 19.8/0.92x0.75=16.14K. With premium: 24K. Without landing: 12.91K/19.36K
And this all assumes we survive full 15 minutes for the UA cycle to fire.
If we don’t, we get far less than this.
Extra evil if we have a 15 minute flyout without score, get score at 15:30 minutes in and then die. The game treats this as if we were only alive for 0.5 minutes so we basically get like 60 SL.
Do you see the issue with this?
(Air Sim EC).
Then add to this that the Ho 229 is 7.7 in ASB and 8.0 has saggitario 2 and…

Sim battles are a totally different issue, and I do know almost NOTHING about Sim. I will 100% defer to those who play Sim.
However, the OP was playing Air RB. Here is the replay link: Gaijin Entertainment - Single Sign On
He did not state in his first post (or anywhere on this thread) which mode he was playing. I had to research it myself.
Even though I hardly every play RB modes, I have never had an issue making SL’s nor RP’s in Air RB. I just do not enjoy the mode, so I do not play it.
Since OP was not playing Sim, the Sim argument does not change the issue of OP complaining about SL’s while playing for “free”. Each player has a choice. He chooses to spend multiple times longer grinding, or even losing SL’s playing for “free”. It is what it is. Accept the consequences of playing for “free”, or buy Premium Account. Complaining about it is stupid and a waste of everyone’s time.
Again, Sim is a totally separate issue, and this thread isn’t based on a Sim match. HOWEVER, I will repeat myself and clearly state that I have NO opinion about the issues Sim faces. I will defer to other Sim players like you, and support all Sim players in your efforts to correct any issues that Sim Battles might have.
i got 7 days of premium as a gift and still have absurd repair costs

No you don’t, premium nullifies repair cost to 0
Show us your match results screen. What vehicle(s) are you using?
If you are on Windows, use the WINKEY+SHIFT+S key combination to open the Snip tool. You can copy the screenshot directly from the Snip & Sketch window, and paste directly into the forums here. You do not need to save it to the computer first. CTRL+C to copy, CTRL+V to paste here.
If you are still not making many SL’s with premium time, it sounds like maybe you are using a vehicle that “isn’t that good” and/or has a very high repair cost. Or maybe you are still spading the vehicle?
Let’s figure it out, because I have a feeling that there is something specific going on that is preventing you from making a good amount of SL’s with premium time.
Sim would be a lot more popular if it didn’t have a SL spawn cost jumpscare that adds up to the repair cost, scaring a lot of players away.

Well you arnt losing sl
…You JUST said you are still losing SL’s with Premium Time. If you do not want help, good luck! Easier for me and I don’t have to listen to your whining and complaining 👍
i meant i was losing like a lot less than without
It’s just absurd the fact that we can have a negative income. Premium time just makes it equal to 0, so you don’t lose, but you don’t gain either. This is the only game in the whole world where you can have a loss at the end of a match, where progressing through ranks is absurd even with premium, just because in the worst scenario you earn NOTHING! The only way to earn is with a combo of both premium time and vehicle, but guess what? I don’t want to use the same vehicle again and again just to earn, I play the game to play several vehicles, and currently it’s not possible. Just try grinding a vehicle by using the previous one, while spading it its repair cost increases, you pay for the mods you unlock, you’re in a constant loss. If to you this is normal then it’s YOUR problem, not ours!
Escape From Tarkov just in mind, And by searching, you’ll surely find dozens more.

This is definitely worth mentioning.
Premium vehicles are… very limited.
I want to fly F4U-4. What are my options? None! F2G is irrelevant as it’s 6.7 in ASB and F4U-4 is 5.3. 6.7 is a dead BR.
I want to fly Bf 109 F-4. What are my options? A marketplace 109 F-4 for italy. Kinda OK but not really since its price is all over the place and there’s no sales. Thankfully Hungarian/Italian 109 F-4 is historically valid and italy is 95% of the time on Axis teams in WW2 bracket sim.
I want to fly AMERICAN P-51C (since China is usually flying axis in sim). What are my options? None! Only playing a chinese or japanese premium - both of which are axis and not allies. Thankfully, Mustang Mk Ia exists but it’s not the same.
List goes on and on.
We seriously need SL talismans that give a vehicle +100% SL income.
also reducing repair costs, I mean some aircrafts, especially in sim, have quite exaggerated repair costs. I was “forced” to buy the chinese Ki-84 to have a chance to fly it without bankrupt.
Italy… eeeh, man we have more hungarian 109 than italian ones LOL I’m still waiting for G-2 and G-6 to be added and I lost hope.
I have tons of premium vehicles, more than I need, but i want to fly what’s in the trees. It’s boring and annoying having to split the gameplay in “farm” and “grind”. It’s not fun
