Hi,
I’ve been gaming for over 25 years, and I can honestly say that grinding stock 14.0 jets in War Thunder is the worst experience I’ve ever had in gaming. It’s practically unplayable – yes, you get flares, but no chaff, and only a tiny amount of missiles to work with. Meanwhile you’re facing fully spaded opponents with complete loadouts who erase you in seconds.
I honestly wonder if the devs are even aware of how miserable this grind is. Maybe the best idea would be for them to host an official livestream where they play stock 14.0 jets themselves – starting with the F-18C in the Swedish tree (not the MLU, the first one). That would be something worth watching, so we could all laugh together at this so-called “balance.”
Am I the only one who feels like stock grinding at this BR is nothing but pure masochism?
First of all: This “grinding thing” is only in your head. Play the f******* game.
What do you expect from a free to play game? You can buy every module.
Years ago there was no stock loadout. You began with cannons only, every single plane.
I am very sure with that many years of experience you can grind everything easily. How are you struggling with stock grind on 14.0 when 13.7 SU-27SM literally faces top tier all the time and so is the Su-27 13.0 with literally no Fox 3.

Stock grind is a money making strategy, nothing more, its meant to suck. But at the same time. Once you’ve gotten a few mods. Like for example, chaff, which is your first mod to grind. Its fairly trivial to do.
I’ve never really had that much of an issue with stock grinds. Heck did FA2 back when it didnt even get AMRAAM stock. Now that was truly painful, but also didnt take that long either.
