People will pay for a premium if they want to, but you also don’t have to buy a premium or just wait for a sale and you could always do it the old fashioned way the previous vehicle or br line in a tt will always still provide a 100% efficiency gain for research.
New vehicle lines are fine the more the merrier

Ranks are a made up concept to make you grind vehicles you don’t want to.

This. They represent nothing. Not a BR spread, not a technical advancements or introduction dates.
They are there to slow down the grind and to force you to buy premium, do the events, or grind a TT branch you wouldnt touch just to satisfy the required number of vehicles to proceed to the next rank.

I was about to write the same …
I don’t think t9 will be gen 5s. Most likely they will take all gen 4,5 and rebalance the BRs.
They are many gen 4,5 to add for 2 updates ( given that they realease a plane for half the nations in an update) and the next after adding things is usually a balancing patch of some kind.
I wouldn’t bet gen 5s before summer.
Add the fact that gen 4,5 (And even 4s) have many technologies to demonstrate before going to gen 5.
Sensor fusion, stealth or low RCs … those are standard before going to gen 5.
And i believe the Aerial warfare mode will come before gen 5 as well , because they’ll need a base to add them in the game… current RB with markers etc. isn’t really the place .
Tier 9 implementation won’t be bad , if they not bring gen 5.
And about the grind, when they do such things, they reduce the RP needed of the previous tiers. If anything people that want to play modern jets (not top tier only) will grind faster if for example everything before MiG 29 needs half the grind.
Now to get to Su-30SM, you need 1,230,000 RP ONLY in the t8. You need another 1,3-1,4 mill in t7…
Wouldn’t be better if you need half?
And imagine i’m of the people that heavily disagree with how GJ thinks about gameplay…
But let’s be real now, i don’t think t9 would be bad…it’s just that some people assume it will be gen 5s.
You should start worrying about gen 5s when you see Su-35S/SM , F-15EX /18E BLKIII , Rafale f4.1/2 (Yes there are more of them) , F-16V and PoBIT , J-16, MiG-35s… + whatever weapons and avionics’ factions we are missing.

Guys, we should get rid off everything rank6 and up because it made rank4 premiums not be able to grind top tier.

Rank 9 itself would be fine, the problem is the research costs are gonna keep going exponential

Well since rank IX could potencially mean a reduction of rp and sl to the lower ranks i am all for it, personally premiums vehicles’s rank dont really affect me.

If they do like they have always done lower ranks’s research cost are reduced as well, the rank 8 would be reduced to the cost of rank 7, the lower ones are also reduced, keep in mind that rank 5 vehicles used to cost 380k research back when they where “top” tier
I didn’t know they did things that way, I guess that’s great news for my grind
We need rank 9 for decompression

Yup, but decompression won’t happen because they’re afraid kids won’t be patient enough to wait more than 10 seconds for battle
Yeap, the possibilities say you’d get faster to at least t7 (current) planes.
I don’t think many kids are into WT or to even pay in WT . Adults with jobs pay.
And adults with jobs and families don’t really have enough time to wait in queues.
However, GJ misunderstands it … If gameplay is trash , an adult won’t stay and play and pay etc.
Their saving grace is… there is no other game with that theme with so easy access and so cheap access as well .
And certainly kids play, but the money isn’t really there… And very few parents would actually buy you an 80 Eu pixel plane that if/when the game closes you just lost them or if you get bored of it they went in vein.
However an adult makes the money and will spend them just because , if it fits his desires why not? It’s entertaining…

Actually can’t wait for them to make rank 9 for 14.7 and 15.0, so they can add 14.3 premiums to the game.
Good luck trying to change Gaijin’s business model.
They’ll keep adding premiums for higher tiers as they definitely get a lot of revenue from them.
If Gaijin really cared about noobs in matches, we would have SBMM already and many other things would be different as well.
They don’t care, ppls said the same when they added the first rank 5 prem, then rank 6 then 7 and now rank 8. 3/4 of the playerbase genuinely don’t care.
Would be better if there was a poll.
Good, that’s promise fixing in action. We have rank VIII premiums already anyway.
That’s their business model, you don’t have to play into if you like.
As long as premium vehicles don’t bias gameplay (newbies flying the Su-30 or F-2A and still sweeping) I don’t care what they do.
It’s also going to only improve the grind for TT players, decreasing RP/Rank to unlock the next by vehicle.
If they just move some stuff about in current rank 8 there would be more than enough room to fill them out with more 4th/4.5 gens and then keep rank 9 for 5th gens.
Nah, 9 > 10. One character, divisible by 3. ;)
no rank IX means no more Rank VIII premium - Gaijin can’t allow that -
facts are that people are complainning but keeps buying - that’s giving gaijin far enough reasons to continue that way.
so your fight is lost before it even started,… even if 9999999999 billions players says “no”
Poll about what ?
Natural progression of the game ?
