RP Required for Helis is too much specially having in mind we dont have a proper way to grind em, only Ground RB or PVE where the RP you get is a joke unless you use “Grind by playing ground RB” (which it stills low, unless premium + premium vehicle maybe)
for example i want the german Eurocopter, im currently sitting at BO 105 PAH-1 at 9.3 for a looong time, it took me ages to unlock, now im grinding for the same shitty heli with barely changes because they aren’t folded (BO 105 PAH-1A1) and it requires 370.000RP, being a 9.3 Helicopter and a copy paste one.
Top Helis are 400.000RP sitting at 11.7
370K rp for a 9.3 helicopter is a joke on all trees.
A 9.3 Tank is 220.000RP
A 9.3 Jet is 220.000RP too
A 11.3 Tank is 350.000RP
A 11.3 Jet is 350.000RP
A 11.7 Tank is 400.000RP
A 13.7 Jet is 420.000RP
RP required for Helis should be reduced, the grind is hell, and lets not talk about unlocking modifications.
A 9.3 Heli should cost 220.000RP too on all trees.
we grinding 9.3 helicopters like if they were 11.3-11.7 vehicles.
Oh yeah, i also noticed this for russian helis, for some reason they require less RP for a 9.7 heli meanwhile all nations at 9.3 require more, even some nations require more for a 8.7 Heli like Italy.
the entire heli tech tree is designed around being painful and you buying a premium heli
i would love better rewards for heli pve/lower research cost but sadly wont happen
its interesting to me how no one mentioned the small bias before, i never noticed this until today because i was looking if all nations had the same RP Requirement for helis
Yes, heli grind is absolutely awfull.
Playing Heli in the Heli gamemode is just the worst, takes forever to fly to the enemy, and RP gain i just bad. I research them with the tank tree since i have already researched top tier in tanks. But even this is painfully slow, and literally the worst grind in game, aswell as Rank IV coastal boats. Not fun :(
Ah yes, it’s a bias then *check notes* then you have to tech almost identical 9.7 heli twice (and 24P is a bit more expensive, but it just 10k RP, so irrelevant)
yeah it can be irrelevant tho, small amount. but idk the fact that Italy for example has to grind more RP for a helicopter with just x4 atgms,no AAMS and no countermeasures, meanwhile the most spammed nation has to grind less for an heli with x192 countermeasures, AAMS, and AGMS seems weird to me. there is a big difference on a 150.00RP worth heli from a 380k RP worth one.
Anyways, coming back to the principal topic of my post RP should be reduced for all nations.
I mean, if you really want to, there’s Hungarian Mi-24D which is 150k RP and armed similar to Mi-24A (same rockets and Phalanga missiles), but unlike Soviet Mi-24A it have countermeasures (128) and IRCM module
No arguments here. Even with ground assist grinding is a chore (and dont let me start about individual modules)
That’s because there are just more vehicles in the line compared to other TTs and more helicopters on that rank.
Look at UH-1B in the American TT, 99k RP, that’s complete Bussian Rias!1!1
V and P, while having the same suspended armament, have, completely separate gun system, P having the GSh-30-2, and the V having the YaK-B 12.7 MG.
I guess it’s “bias” to have two with close to identical capabilities at the same BR, because it’s balances it properly, I don’t see any issue with it, because it’s more in the way of the Ka helis and the Mi-28.
