The grind on this game is still too much

This is kind of a piss poor attitude to take I think you should very well be able to point a major issue with the games progression which is that its so slow its killing the game and preventing it from really expanding, I mean its insane In heli ec doing the best on the team in an extremely productive match with it being a win in a premium helo with premium time I get like 30k rp maybe, so cut that in half twice you have what 7.5k rp for 40-50 minutes of gameplay with no premium time or a premium helo. hell thats twenty six hours of gameplay if we round the matches to 30 minutes a pop for one helo. I know people who are far better than you or me at this game, yet it takes them days to grind a vehicle if they dont want to no life it because even 10 kill matches in tanks that take 25 minutes is 14k rp which is roughly 14 hours of gameplay for one vehicle and thats with premium time and vehicles. so to research just three tanks at top tier alone you are hitting what 42 hours of gameplay assuming your playing ten kill matches with premium time in a premium tank like every match.

GRB grind is just atrocious.
I’ve had nuke-worthy performances in a 20+ minutes games with high tier tanks and got like <15k RP with a premium account. With this pace it would take me around 8 hours of pure gameplay to get 400k RP, which is enough for a single vehicle.

This would be fine if nuke-worthy performances were something an average player can achieve regularly, but they can’t.

man if 20+ games in RB give 15K (with prem account ofc) , and average to bad defeat in Arcade (i’m not really trying…mostly play SAM and lights) gives 2k…in 5 minutes , it makes me think that i understood well that you either play AB or SIM in ground (i’ve tried SIM it’s fun to be fair , but has much time that you are doing practically just driving) .
The rates in GRB are awful … gameplay is worse than AB and SIM … and about realism, i don’t know why in Air they have done so much better job anyway , so AB/RB is the same to me.
Also gameplay… AB has half the crap you may see in RB.
I don’t know why people are so much into RB. It’s literally worse in everything for ground (except if you REALLY WANT to play Heli or CAS ).

And a very average win in 5 mins gives 3500 RP, that means 14K in 20 mins…that’s an average game not nuke worthy performance…

If you want to compare different game modes, it actually makes more sense to look at the average action RP per spawn, based on StatShark:

Yes, I know Air Realistic only has one spawn per battle, but it doesn’t make much difference, since 30 seconds later you can be in another battle anyway. With almost no queue times, it’s really not a problem to start the next match. Especially later in the battle, the scoring potential decreases anyway.

Personally, I think the RP in Air Realistic is completely fine.
RP in Naval Arcade could be increased slightly, but it’s still acceptable.
Playing Ground Arcade, and especially Air Arcade, is a joke when it comes to RP. It takes far too many battles to spade a single vehicle at higher ranks in these game modes.

This is what defenders of the game and a major issue to me in this community is. People who are really good at the game and play it all the time who maintain 3.0kds in tanks and get nukes regularly think they reflect the average player so when they grind out things in a day because they play ten kill matches for like twelve hours straight they think the grind is fine or that a vehicle is at a good br because they do well in it even though they would do well in any vehicle. Like you aren’t the average player and are not a good model for the average player who like me is getting maybe 2-4 kills a game and an assist are going to progress or how a tank is going to perform.

hefore having finished the tree he will have become a father, home owner and maybe a grandfather with the current grind. Especially if he also wants to get to naval top tier

i swear some ppl get bot lobbies. Any time I try to do the whole flank in a light op vehicle strat they do there‘s always that one dick hiding somewhere in the bushes where nobody usually ever is (or a random ahh heavy tank or a cap rusher aircraft or heli or…) and boom, attempt failed. Obv these guys also only upload the successful matches but still.

About 1.5 years ago, I had ALL ten air trees completed. All 7 coastal trees completed. All 7 bluewater trees completed. And the US tank and heli trees completed.
My experience is: This is not the goal in the game. I don’t mind the many new additions. There is no gold at the rainbows end. It remains the same game and the last BR group isn’t really enjoyable to play.
Today, I wouldn’t even know what I have complete, except german heli’s, as that happened this months.
Who cares?
