That’s the whole problem in AirRB. Doing nothing for winning and earning massive ressources.

Air RB is a game mode centered around aircraft fighting aircraft, ground vehicles, and strategic bases. It makes no sense that a player that wants to play aircraft in a ground strike capacity would need to play ground vehicles as well. Air has never been, to my knowledge, strictly air to air combat with no ground/water based targets. It was always combined arms. I just watched the 2012 beta trailer, and it showed strike aircraft with bombs attacking ground targets. Watched a video from PhlyDaily from 11 years ago and he was attacking a boat. You can win games of Air RB by ground striking, you used to be able to (and can in arcade) win games by destroying bases and the airfield. You are 100 percent factually wrong that Air RB is about strictly PVP.

in order to advance in the air tree you have to play AirRB otherwise it you couldnt keep pace with your tanks progression. Also base bombing helps progress through the tech tree faster ( especially with premiums ) so you can play the fighters you want to play with. I can get 2 or 3 kill while playing with a strike aircraft and still take out a base or two and get ground targets taken out and earn 47K rp. This doesn’t equate to doing nothing.
Correct, i would call it PvEvP
So is it worth killing ground targets or not?
I see a little bit of conflicting information here.
Either way, for example, if you have a full team of F-4S with rocket pods sprinting to bases, you might as well just go for ground targets if you are late to the party.
Ever seen the wyvern rush, ever see a wyvern win a match in under 10min, ever seen poland map end before you can get to 6k alt in a xp50 from interceptor spawn
Please don’t talk shit and read proberly.
I’m wrote higher tiers above props.
The base mechanic in props would be one alternative to justify the massive rewards for base bombing in higher tiers. But it’s difficult to rank multi role fighters.
Wyvern, higher tier…which game you are playing?
How about saabs, btw its PvEvP, win on ticket’s
Im not much of a pilot but I have a go now and then.
I have won four games in five by getting a bomber in mid BR, climbing high and bombing bases and shooting down those who come up to 20k plus feet to tackle me(its rare they bother)
Low level CAS is a death sentence for me much of the time.
Its just a system that works for me so I do it.
Much of War Thunder is nothing more than learning how to survive in the game.
This is how a poor ,console flyer survives. Well that is my story anyway.
Even easier for arcade.

Being a console player we have it harder, generally altitude looking down on the enemy is our best friend due to how camara works

We face better controls ,ULQ and cheats.
No wonder we have to look for an edge anywhere there might be one.
They can even have mods with speed alerts

Honestly the only real way to grind props for Sweden until you get the jets, from my experience (and I’m not even at jets yet), is rush and bomb a base from high altitude in T18(B) and then go bomber hunting. Why do I not use fighters? 1: am a terrible pilot. 2: the only thing the fighters have going for them is the armament, otherwise they’re about as good as a flying potato (for me anyways)
So for Sweden you kinda have to just base bomb.
I’ve definitely missed every point in this discussion and forgotten at least 3 things, but hey, I (sorta) tried
There’s an anti cheat for a reason.
mods? what mods? I haven’t heard of no mods.
Cheats presumably?

I am nit going to promote or advertise mods ir add ons that will out me zt a disadvantage
