Crew skills are rigged.
It’s 3% of your mod RP converted to crew skills in AB and only 1% in SB/RB, yet the RP rates are not normalized between modes. AB levels so much faster it’s a joke.
The original excuse was “multiple lives in AB air so need more crew skill points for divide” but this is irrelevant since ground exist for 10 years for rb/sb and EC.
So its 3% more efficient to grind crew levels and points in Arcade? Does it matter what BR vehicles you use?
No, it is 300% more efficient.
Aside from RP % modifier, no.
Ok, ill grind arcade battles 😂
But everything else you get are worse. Realistic is good for grinding tanks since you can try flanking and also since you get like (I think) 50% more RP. I don’t know for sure, but that’s what I think since grinding RB was faster for me than AB.
Playtime is seconds alive x coefficient x activity% x economic modifier
all values are for 100% modifier vehicle.
Of course it’s pay to win from the beginning, paid units have higher hit points, better defense, better fire power and everything. A single 2s38 driver stopped a cannon shell with 600 penetration shot from the rear and survived, nothing else was damaged, only in this money grabbing game. Paid jets has better chance to doge missiles, and their missiles can’t be lured by countermesures, it’s very hard for non paid jets to counter them. Nerf the old jets to unplayable level, this money grabbing practice is so disgusting. Don’t spend a single penny, it’s easier to delete this game anytime you want to quit.
Literally none of that is limited to paid items.
So “pay to win” actually means "pay to sometimes win, sometimes lose"🤣
Yes.
People consider certain skins in Dota2/LoL pay to win due to altering the glance value of the hero, thus giving a competetive advantage.
We have a genius here. “‘Chance’ can be described by 3 categories: guaranteed success, guaranteed failure, and possibility of either. Therefore flipping a coin is the same as buying a lottery ticket.” Why don’t you spend all your money on the lottery then?
“Increasing the odds of winning” has been simplified to “There are still 2 possible outcomes, win or loss, so the situation is the same”. Who in the world thinks like this?
Wallet warriors can never pay to fix their skill issue
strong words for someone with that much negative K/D
If you can get something through in game means without paying, I don’t really see it as a clear P2W.
Expert/Ace crews are flirting with P2W much more than let’s say bushes. Things like those are just a borderline acceptable ways to promote something as pay2progress.
Because it is not P2W but P2P (Pay to progress)
Yeah, that’s why I mentioned it in my second paragraph.
Again?
Do we have to do that LOL example again…
Do we have to count the hours again…
Do we have to go through history once again?
Again, it is P2P not P2W
Most of the time in War Thunder it’s pay to make your grind and gameplay smoother and more comfy.
The paid features you mentioned do provide some advantages, but not “massive” enough like you said to impact game outcomes in 16 vs. 16 battles with players of similar skill levels. Skilled paying players could stomp the whole enemy team likewise using their experience and game knowledge without bushes, crew skills, or backups when there’s a large skill disparity.
My take is that these features help to convert competitive players who want to invest time and effort into War Thunder into actual paying players.
More like P2E
Pay to enjoy
