You do not need to play everyday to obtain ~50 which is enough for the Rank 2 premiums from the store and the free premium for the battlepass.

You would need to login everyday as well as do the major challenges that you can which can mean up to ~26 levels assuming you take the time to do everything but Naval usually. If you do them all you even get an extra 4 levels.

WT’s mobile app can help you keep up with the login chain if necessary.

It requires attention but it does not require extraneous play rather you simply need to focus on completing the challenges and spending some SL to roll them to be completed easily.

You’ve actually convinced me here, i’ll give the next battle pass a shot.
Anything else i should note apart from: login bonuses and extra tasks?

24

I buy 1 maybe 2 premium vehicles a year, just whatever I fancy when a sale is on or a special vehicle on temp release.
The Boomerang for Britain at 3.0 is a SL printer and cheap.
Do you have any?

The A2D I used is essentially a Wyvern on steroids.
They perform the same role.

you dont need a premium acc, I just whacked on a 150 SL boost, luckily it was a big map with mountains.
I went low around the edge and used mountains for cover and tried to remain undetected.
I hit some ground targets en-route to the far right bases, no-one saw me or was near me.

I killed the 2 bases, circled back the way I came and hit all the ground targets i flew past - Light Pillboxes included.
I just need to be left alone to strike and not get discovered.
I could not find an image with bases, but the white line was my path.

The system for spending Warbonds involves “special task medallions”.

For every medium daily task you complete (you get one easy and one medium task a day), you get the ability to buy 1 special task for 30 warbonds in the warbond shop.

For each special task you complete you get 5 BP points (it’s 10 per level, 2 from the easy, 3 from the medium, 5 from a special task) and a special task medallion. The cost of the premium vehicles in the Warbond shop is usually ~2000 warbonds which you will have enough by the time you unlock the BP level to buy the vehicle and roughly 15-20 special task medallions.

The BP runs for 3 months so there’s more than enough time to knock out at least that many. The tasks are similar to medium tasks usually it’s something you’re meant to do over a few days “kill 75 medium tanks” “get 120 critical hits”.

Easy and Medium tasks roll every new day, so if you’re not going to finish it out then don’t take the time trying to do it although the Easy task is usually something small like “get 5 assists”.

The Special task has no timer once activated, so you could pop one Monday and come back to it on Friday no issue.

Ok I dropped a 4000lber on a base, didnt kill it.
Dropped 2x 2000lb on another - didnt kill it.
WTH? I got snailed.

32

Lost the match
Got shown down (engine died)
2 bases bombed, 1 air kill, 1 ground target.
200% SL booster. Could be much better but not bad earnings.

Makes me wonder if premium account is worth it just to get an extra 20k.

I died though :(

I don’t see a single correction on how people should be using Boosters, just you bragging like any of us give a shit.

Use your booster in Sim EC, as then you don’t loose it if you get killed, you just respawn and continue collecting…

I’m just showing that boosters can be used to good effect, even if you dont do much.

Like I say, I see many complaining regarding lack of SL earnings but in reality there are many ways to quickly make SL, even without a premium account.
In short - grab a high percentage booster and use it in conjunction with a premium aircraft with lots of SL reward, a premium attacker is a good option as its easy to bomb or kill ground targets, avoid detection etc. I did state above in the thread.

I know many people who do this and they rake in a metric ton of SL.

The battle pass at the end of the day is just a numbers game. What I like to do when a battle pass is announced is to sit down and open the wiki page for the new season. I take a look at the login bonuses (the points increase over time). I take a look at the challenges and say, ok, this one I won’t do for sure, this one I will maaaaybe do, this one is easy and I’ll do it.

Then I tally up the points and I know how many levels I can get through that alone. That tells me how many dailies/specials I should do in order to get to X objective.

Now, mate, obviously this approach will not work for everyone, and it may not sound very casual, although on the other hand it takes ten minutes to take a look, to me the part that’s not casual is actually worrying about playing the game in a certain way.

There have been BPs where I just didn’t bother, and BPs where I got to level 125 in order to get the two coupons and get the next BP for free. In this one, I’ll try to get to level 150 for the profile title.

The important thing is that it’s okay to not care about it, but it’s also okay to give it a go and see how you do. If you find out you don’t enjoy it and it’s not for you, you can always move on to something else!

Now, think about it like this. In a single player game, your objectives are pretty obvious. Complete levels or progress the story etc. In War Thunder, things are a bit different. The most common (but probably not healthiest) organising principle is the grind: you play a vehicle to unlock the next vehicle.

However, the beauty about WT is that it has incredible variety and depth. You can choose to focus on very niche areas of the game if you want… Or you can pick up one of the other tools Gaijin is offering you to organise your play time: pages of history. Events. Battle pass challenges. Dailies and specials.

It can be nice to log in and be given a task or a mission by the game, it’s actually one of the most “single player” things you get in terms of mechanics, it helps give direction. But you can also choose to totally ignore it, which is great.

As a last bit of advice, it helps to have as many nations at Rank III as possible, even if you don’t progress them further. It makes it much easier to do the dailies without constantly rerolling them or going insane from the repetitiveness of feeling like you have to play the same lineup over and over or go mad.

Have fun out there!
