I spent <$0.20 per hour in-game, and with that I completed all ten air trees, most ground trees, and a chunk of helicopters and naval.
As someone that absolutely despises PVP as a game type, War Thunder’s alright.
That and half my hours spent in-game are in test drives, custom matches, and researching stuff.
I mostly buy the stuff you need to spend money on. Premium and event vehicles.
Spending money on teh techtree is mostly a waste.
As most premium and event vehicles are supirior to there techtree equivalent, in one way or another-
Depends on which premium we are talking about and their reflective TT variants
Wouldn’t a Tiger H1 OST be considered better than the TT variant? same BR with more armor, or does the TT variant have an advantage i’m unaware of?
They have the same armor.
Tracks would be negligible against all but 75mm Jumbo, but even prior to that the 75mm Jumbo barely penned with APCR if they were flat on.
Sometimes a marginal armor improvement helps [M4A2], sometimes it’s not as notable.
Depends on the BR and how much it is, especially when Tiger’s armor comes from angling which the tracks don’t help against as much as one would think cause the ideal angle doesn’t change due to the uncovered parts.
Man, yea, gaijin is very sneaky about it, doesn´t change that premiums have advantages over there techtree counterparts.
Just look at the french strasbourg. Its literally the dunkerque with some extra armor and AA. Not enough to justify a BR in increase, but still, better.
i started in january and am halfway thru the russian and swedish air tree and fully done with the french one, how the hell are people taking years to grind their stuff man
i play most of my games in CW and late ww2 BRs. Those BRs are the most fun where armor and stuff are actually still useful but not everything is seal clubbing
Its in the Premium Line and you have to buy it, thats the definition of a premium for gaijin. No matter where it is from and no matter if it has a SL bonus or not.
So far as i know, you can use a PC Mouse and Keyboard for playing aswell.
You even keep the console exclusive benefits, like locking-on enemys in Realistic.
Dude, check the Top of your Techtree Tab. You have “Researchable vehicles” on the left and “Premium vehicles” on the right. Seperated by a vertical line.
the strasbourg is not a premuim vehicle, It is an non-premiun event vehicle… and as like all event vehicles are also placed on the “premium” vehicles line, but that doesnt make it a premium as they dont have any of the rp/sl rewards that premium vehicles have, you also have to research the modules for it unlike any premium vehicles.
Man, stop with the hairsplitting about something that doesn´t even have anything to do with what i originaly said.
The vehicles you can find in the premium category are better then there techtree counterparts in one way or another. Even if that better is just the usual “Premium” Status.
How am i hairsplitting? Buddy the Strasbourg is not a premium vehicle, youre the one that claimed that it was a premium and when you were corrected instead of acepting it you keep claimng that it was…
Gaijin calls everything on the left side of the tech tree “Researchable vehicles” and everything on the right side “Premium Vehicles”.
That is the official terminology and it doesn not matter what the community makes up.
Everything on the right side is a Premium vehicle, with sub categories being event, pack, GE, remove techtree or squadron vehicle. With extra atributes be marketable (in coupon form) and Research Premium Bonuses.
Obviously, what a vehicle is can change over time.
I will not discuss this further, these are the facts, deal with it.
