Hello,
I am a long-term War Thunder player and really enjoy the game, but recently the economy and reward system has made it very difficult to keep playing. I would like to give some constructive suggestions.
-
Current Problems
-
Silver Lion income is too low
Even when winning matches, the SL reward is often not enough to cover repair costs, especially at top tier. Many players end up losing SL even after winning, which makes us afraid to play aggressively and not want to use good vehicles. -
Repair costs are too high
Top-tier aircraft and tanks have extremely high repair fees. A single death can cost 10,000+ SL, which completely discourages casual players. -
Research progress is too slow
Even with premium account, unlocking modules and new vehicles takes an extremely long time. New players and returning players cannot bear this grind. -
The reward system over-reliance on activity points makes normal gameplay unrewarding. Players feel forced to grind instead of enjoying the game.
-
My Suggestions
-
Increase base SL and RP rewards by about 30%–50%
This would let players actually make progress without feeling exhausted. -
Greatly reduce repair costs, especially for top-tier vehicles
Repair cost should not be higher than average reward for a win. -
Lower the requirements for module research
Make the stock grind less painful so players can enjoy vehicles instead of suffering through them. -
Adjust the activity system to be more friendly to normal playstyles
Not everyone can get huge kill counts; players who capture points, support teammates, and play objectives should also be rewarded properly. -
Why this matters
War Thunder has amazing vehicles and gameplay, but the current economy is pushing players away. Many of my friends have stopped playing because grinding is no longer fun.
Improving the economy will make the game more enjoyable, keep players active, and help the game grow.
Thank you for reading.
