Given my recent events in this game,I found that play to the end when I have
1: A full line up at a certain BR ,eg Germany at 6BR, USA at 6.7,Russia at 4BR etc etc
2 : when every vehicle is modded fully or most of them anyway.
3: I have a map that I can use at least some of my chosen line up.
4: I have no agenda except having some fun,and War Thunder can be,lets not be totally negative : )
I ODL when 1: I have an agenda. Like Battle pass.
2: I have only one vehicle at a certain BR due to line up.Either premium or just the way the line up is for for lesser nations.
3: Quite a new one but on big maps on lower tiers I simply cant be bothered to drive so far for so long. Amplified by unmodded vehicles losing 80 BHP and doing 6MPH top speed.
4: The uptier but not just any uptier.I mean the full uptier when all or most of my line up are unmodified and I am firing poor ammo and doing a quarter of my top speed with no repair kit or FFE
With ODL Gaijin makes a rod for its own back and it likes to share the pain.
