OK perfect.
First of all, I would always suggest to wait for sales. Sales are usually in may (30%), june (50%), november (50%) and december (50%). I see you are low on SL. With premium account you accumulate SL quickly and won’t go negative after match ends. Premium account is worth buying in bulk during the sales when it’s usually -50% off for 180 days.
Assuming you want to play ARB and get to the top most efficient way.
Switch research to Bf 109 and Fw 190 line. You can completely skip the 2 lines of bomber/attackers on the right as those are more suitable for either ground battles or air sim battles.
Then make sure to find a good grinding squadron and join it. Start putting squadron points into the Hunter F.58. Assuming you get 20k points every 3 days (like in the case of the squadron I am in), you will get the Hunter in 3 months time.
Next, and I hate to say this, but you should buy the Ju 288C.
You can’t go wrong with this one. It will produce alot of SL as well as RP and help you easily research and skip rank V.
I would also put a talisman on Ta 152H as it is the best German prop plane.
The second being the Bf 109 K4 and third Bf 109G6. Definetly go and spade those. Spading (the act of researching every vehicle module) gives you extra RP.
Research and skip all the Fw 190, they are currently too nerfed. Research, but skip the rank V planes. This rank is too compressed, you will suffer.
Then I would put a talisman on the Hunter F.58 (squadron vehicles and their talisman do not go on sale!) and research rank VI + VII with it.
At rank VII you have 2 excellent planes. Mig 23 MLA (fighter) and F-4F (fighter bomber). Each of these is a good candidate for a talisman. I personally grinded majority of the rank VII+VIII with talismaned Mig 23 MLA.
Disclaimer:
- Tech tree vehicles are efficient only within their rank and ±1 rank.
- Talisman gives you 2x RP modifier but doesn’t increase SL modifiers!
- Premium vehicles are efficient within their rank as well as +1 rank and all the way to rank I as well as having big SL modifiers and lower repair costs.
With that said, let’s see the calculations:
Ju 288C: 4880GE
Ta 152H talisman: 1800GE
Hunter F.58 talisman: 2700GE
F-4F talisman: 2900GE
12280GE if you buy it normally or 7490GE if you wait for 50% sales.
12500 is 66EUR and 7500GE is roughly 41EUR.
Always buy GE only from this site Gaijin.Net Store / Golden eagles
Do not buy via Steam, you will get charged extra money (my young, dumb and lazy self says hello).
This way you build up your skill gradually while retaining or even surpassing the top tier premium efficiency simply due to you being able to do more in a match.
I would strongly urge you not to buy the premium Mig 21BIS. It currently faces very powerful enemies because of BR compression and it will only get worse next update when they give those enemies FOX3’s. The Mig 21BIS has a very high skill floor.
I would also strongly urge you not to buy the premium Tornado (unless you want to play ASB exclusively). It really is just a one trick pony (bombing) and most of the time you will get smacked before you even get to the base.
Lastly, always expert the crew (for SL) of the vehicle you plan to play alot. So if you will play Ta 152H alot, expert the crew ASAP. Every experted crew starts accumulating XP for ACE crew which you then will be able to get for free when you get enough XP.
Feel free to ask if you don’t understand something.
