Some of you dont use boosters well and it shows

Bare in mind I do not use premium acc and we lost this match.
I really dont struggle to make lions even ground pounding, yet many others with premium say they struggle.
Aircraft was premium A2D.
150% SL booster + antimech order.


Could have been more if i had not got shot down while trying to kill the ju-288 - (my fault), went home, reloaded and came back out and remained hidden.
In fact, If I had not got shot down, that would have been at least another 60k.
There are many ways to make SL reliably in this game, I just dont expect to do this every game or with every booster.

Weird flex but okey…

So… How would one utilize a booster correctly ?
(Without a premium vehicle ofc)

Choose a vehicle where you perform consistently well.
Combine this with reachable 3x type wagers, etc.
profit.

Thats the thing, you need a premium vehicle that gives high reward.
If not, you will not be able to make the most out of the booster unfortunately.
It does not need to be a high tier vehicle, it can be a low tier premium, but high SL reward multiplier.

There are many factors, but you need the above as bare minimum + 150% SL boost or higher.

So your saying people are not using booster correctly because they didnt buy a $30 plane to use with the boosters?

Effectively, the game screws you over…

I could do the same thing, 75%+ booster, and do antimech order, and someone else will win the order, and will get shot down first confrontation.

Who really cares about SL though everyone pretty much always has millions of SL its not hard to get 50k+ per game anyway, unless you’re wasting SL on high tier vehicles outside of sales or on expert qualification its RP thats always been the issue i don’t even get the purpose of this thread outside of trying to flex you got slightly more SL than normal

WT is PTW confirmed. Got it.

Many players have premium vehicles.

Just a bit of fun and highlighting how effective boosters and premium vehicles can be, of which many players have and thats it, no need to respond with your screenshot, i’m sure you get lots of good boster matches also, i didnt mean to attack your ego,i’m sorry if you see this as flexing.

It is also showing my experience of making SL - I often see many threads and comments regarding how hard or impossible it is to make SL - here is my experience.

As for a flex? - I bombed then ground pounded and got shot down by a bomber. . . . hardly a flex, if anything, it highlights how easy it can be to make SL providing you have boosters and a premium vehicle - I have no premium account, didnt get any air kills, I bombed, shot some ground targets, died and lost the match - BOOM - 200k.

A gentle reminder for people of one of the many ways to make SL, obv with a bit of luck thrown in.

But I understand if you dislike this post, I can remove it if you like, I didnt mean to damage your ego.

Ground striking in a powerful premium plane is way more consistent than fighting air v air or ground v ground, I can use a 500% booster and get killed by a helicopter or CAS within minutes, have my entire team leave after one death because of premium spam and get spawncamped.

Against other planes you can also easily just get pilot sniped by a random bullet, I still remember flying my A6M5 and getting hit by a bullet from a landing craft which set me on fire and killed me, or flying at 5km alt and getting pilot sniped by a random ground AA unit for literally no reason.

Also almost no control over orders as for some reason they’re not a personal task despite it being literally your own order, so good luck competing against the entire lobby with most of the tasks just being complete RNG.

And if you somehow defy all odds and use a booster, have a good team, not get snailed, actually win the game, actually perform well, actually have the game last at least 10 minutes so you can actually get worthwhile rewards, you still have an RP cap.

I have Guiness world record of Fastest war thunder air grinder

I didn’t activate the order until iI saw the right time to do it - immediately activating it at the start of the match would be silly.

Ground striking can indeed be more consistent than fighting air v air or ground v ground - which makes it a good thing to do to make SL when you have a booster active.

You also need a degree of luck, I certainly will not deny that I also get shot down or blown up before I could earn anything, goes like that sometimes.

dont read it then.

Almost no other orders are viable, anti mech is the only one, and they’re all capped except anti-mech and AAA to a measly 5 or 15k SL which barely covers repairs.

yeah most are terrible or not viable like you say.

They do have a use though - when you want to prevent the enemy from using avenger or blind hunt, when your last alive, you use a crappy order and that lasts for 5 minutes, start a new one when it finishes if you need :)

will see how it goes tomorrow :)

It always was ptw , bushes give competitive advantage and are only available if you spend some some money either on battlepass or on lootboxes or buying bushes directly , premium vehicles have all the modifications from the start while on normal tech tree vehicles you have to grind them .

Free to play players are able to access premium vehicles using the Battlepass and Event systems.

Every Battlepass has one “free” track premium vehicle. On top of this the warbond shop also tied to Battlepass progression contains multiple free premium vehicles which you can select to purchase.

You should begin trying to work towards a premium lineup using these systems.

I have the Italian 4.0 bracket with the Zyrini, Breda 90-53, and BF-109 F-4.

Using this lineup lets me average ~50k SL a game with no boosters active. No premium time used.

The battle pass is probably something i can and will NEVER actually progress far in.
It requires you to play, at least, everyday whiles completing all 3 challenges and some other specific challenges that make you step out from your comfort zones to complete ( like naval tasks ).

Its honestly too demanding for a casual player like myself to aim for anything besides warbonds ( to buy backups) and to actually acquire multiple vehicles. I may dream big but not that big.
