Should the rank research penalty be reduced?

To explain.

Each rank can only “effectively” research one rank above and below. The farther away from your researching vehicle, the lower the rewards basically. (Except for premium vehicles that can research everything below them.)

Here’s the multiplier picture.
rank

Should the rewards for researching vehicles at farther rank’s be reduced to a “moderate” amount?

This would help to spread out the grind to more of the br’s instead of just top tier with premium vehicles. (Which promotes odl’s) while also allowing people to play the vehicles they like while grinding.

Here’s what the reduced rewards might look like. (forgot the - put you get it){Also 2 version’s depending on what looks better)

And to keep the GE flowing to the snail. This could also be a premium account only system.
Thoughts?

This sorta defeats the point of buying expensive high-tier premiums, which Gaijin will continue to sell. I don’t see this happening, nor do i see it necessary.

The only change I would make is making the right side of the table match the left. Seems pretty unfair that researching. Should be +1/-1 with no penalty.

If anything, they should remove the penalty for researching Rank N-1 vehicles while playing Rank N.

This has given me significant grief trying to unlock new vehicle lines as playing rank 2 is heavily penalized by BP tasks and challenges (given you need Rank 3 to do special and medium tasks), but playing rank 3 reduces my earnings by 10%.

The only way I got around this was the PBM mariner in sim to unlock the american strike fighter line at long last.

I understand why people don’t like the penalty’s, but they do serve some purpose.

From a players perspective, low tier’s being able to research higher with less penalty would encourage seal clubbing grinding. It’d also mean newer players can skip over more ranks and missing out on the valuable experience that comes with playing them as they climb the tree.

From the snails perspective, cheap lower tier premiums become much more valuable than their cost, and high tier squadron vehicles can just be Talisman’d for a much cheaper alternative to high rank premiums.

Would a solution be to have rank’s 1-2 or 1-3 have the current system and ranks 3 or 4+ have the new system? This would at least alleviate low tier clubbing for grinding tree’s

Don’t really understand this one tbh? There is still a research penalty for not using the right rank of vehicles. Just to a lesser degree to allow people to grind with what they want. (Instead of for example having only clickbate’s and f-4S’s that odl)

Wouldn’t the solution to this to also just increase or decrease the premium vehicle’s cost?(To a reasonable amount) (this would “in turn” make it harder to get lower tier vehicles but also alleviate the lost cash flow from less people buying top tier premiums

Not necessarily. High tier premiums will still have the best reward modifiers and will still cost the most.
This change would allow lower tier premiums and such to close the distance and basically be of more use to people who like the lower tier vehicle’s.

It should be partly removed. Cuz i think squadron vehicles dont reqlly serve a good purpose cuz most of the times they are higher tiers

Everyone knows experience for the young is obsolete. I am at rank 6 tanks with UK and Germany and even in rank 6 I still see every 2 out of 3 games, my team is full of sit back pot shotting noobs. Despite having to play at least hundreds of matches to get to rank 6, they still play like sit back noobs, all ready to hide under the nearest rock if they get shot at. Experience teaches them nothing because they don’t want to learn. Most youngsters all think they know it all anyway, even when they lose, they still think they are right.

I would love to have no research penalty when I have grinded the latest rank8 jet in a row, the leftovers wouldnt take as long and you have a reason to play toptier(has not the highest sl rewards and rp are (pretty much) useless in this system rn).
