This has got to be the weirdest thing ever, with rank VIII having a 1.2x multi and rank IV having a 0.9x multi. Because top tier is the worst place to be in the game, and since jets should never have been added to war thunder I want to stick to lower tiers and just relax while playing the game.
I do this, and its not undoable, but the fact that for every 10,000 mission score I gain, I earn 9,000 points for the task, but someone of equal mission score at rank VIII gets 12,000? Overall I would need to gain 50,000 mission score to complete every task, in the current event, compared to 37500 playing rank VIII. This is (by averaging 2500 mission score per match), an extra five matches per task.
As a total comparison, Rank IV vs Rank VIII score and matches needed to gain the F-16A and other 45,000 score vehicles, Rank IV needs 400,000 score and 160 matches played vs 296000 score and 118.4 matches played. This is at 2500 score PER MATCH. Please note that this is without the RB and SB multipliers, but my point still stands, this is an immense difference. if every match averages 10 minutes (which is on the short end for a prop match, and about average for a jet match) that’s 1600 minutes played (or 26 hours) of purely grinding props, vs 19.6 hours of pure grinding with a jet, not bringing in any extra time spent in hangar, loading screens, or actually having a life.
What are all of your thoughts on this disparity? I am more than aware that I could just play rank VIII, but no, I don’t want to, I have all my fun with props and I feel its unfair to have a negative score multiplier JUST because I play props. Also this thread will not be about the unfairly high 45,000/2 days score cost of a jet, yes its unfairly high, but the point of this thread is on the disparity between props and jets.
