Hey ya’ll! 👋
Just like many of you I’m sick of spending hours a day manually calculating my grind costs and finding out how long it’ll take to get the vehicles I want. Not only that, but also spending Golden Eagles on vehicles and research that I later discovered just wasn’t worth it — especially with some premiums (we don’t talk about those bad decisions).
Around March I started thinking “there has to be a better way” — and after spending countless hours looking for that better way and not finding it, I made it.
Introducing the War Thunder RP Calculator — WTRPCALC for short.
So why is this so great? Well I’ll tell you — it’s packed with features:
-
🧮 Research path planner — pick a target vehicle and get the full path with real RP/SL costs, including how folder vehicles and shared prereqs change the total. You can plan multiple targets at once.
-
💰 Golden Eagle analyzer — the “should I actually spend money on this” tool. Real-money value of any GE purchase, and whether that premium vehicle will actually pay for itself. (The tool I wish I’d had before… you know.)
-
📊 Premium vs free account, Talisman ROI & battle income simulator — plug in your average battles per day and get days-to-unlock for your play style, with correct booster stacking math (same-type boosters don’t just add — the game applies diminishing returns, and so do we).
-
⚖️ Vehicle comparison — full stat blocks side by side (armor, speed, reload, armament), not just costs. ~3,000 vehicles with full specs.
-
🎯 Grind goal calculator — set a target vehicle and a deadline, get the per-game average you need to hit it.
-
🏦 “What can I afford?” — enter your banked RP/SL/GE and see everything you could unlock today.
-
📁 Plus CSV/JSON export of any plan, and written guides on how the RP economy actually works.
As of this month, the whole toolbox is free — no account, no login, no daily limits.
All of the calculators, comparison, analyzer and other research tools are FREE! No paywall, no block — just a simple, easy to use interface.
Being upfront: there is an optional Pro tier — it removes the ads and gives you access to an AI advisor that answers questions about research paths, specific vehicles, and any other grind-related questions. Pro also lets you save and share your research paths, plus a 4th comparison slot for when you’re figuring out which vehicle is worth the grind.
Data comes from the datamine plus the official wiki. If you spot a number that’s wrong or a vehicle is misplaced, tell me — I’m doing my best to make this as accurate as possible so that we can all collectively grind vehicles in the most efficient way possible.
