Here’s a full breakdown of how much RP and SL it takes to complete every nation’s air tree in War Thunder as of the latest 2025/2026 update. I scraped the full air tech trees for all nations and calculated both:
• Total RP to unlock every aircraft (including foldered + squadron vehicles) • Total Silver Lions needed • Minimum-path RP/SL (only required progression aircraft) • RP/SL saved by skipping folders • Average RP per required aircraft (“grind density”)
I originally built this data for a YouTube video about the fastest way to reach top-tier jets, but figured the full charts might be useful for the community as well. If you want the full breakdown or the visual explanation, I posted it here: https://youtu.be/M54pbvw-n3E (ThundaShelly on YT)
