Why is there no rp bank?

Which is so miniscule that most people barely even notice its existence.
+100% rp for 5 matches only

Thats literally nothing. A couple of bad matches and that bonus is gone

Most players ive talked to have been really annoyed by this change as it barely rewards the player. People were expecting a permanent bonus for each tree that you have gotten to top tier…

Odd. I once had completed all air trees yet I could still play all planes just fine. Must be a problem on your end.

Right? Right now ive probably wasted 400k plus because i have nothing to research in top tier. Its super frustrating…

I can still play them. But, if i want to retain the RP bonus from modifications etc then i have to not play the aircraft that i havent spaded. Which for me includes the J-10, Mirage, J-11A and JF-17

Then it’s not a bank.

You don’t pay a bank to use your earnings lol

Its more like a punch to the face…

“Here’s what you could have had. Too bad you wont get it! Not unless if you spend a crazy amount to redeem it!”

As I said, that is a “you” problem. And there are 9 other trees to play. Which give you 45 bonus missions for air. I don’t nearly have the time for it.
Sure, it would be nice if I could safe RP in advance. But then, no one would spend money to have the new plane on day one.

Thats not true. People who havent had the time to grind etc will still buy it… The people who have time will be the ones to grind the RP in advance which also wouldnt be the players that now GE vehicles…

Its a game problem. It doesnt reward you fairly for your time.

It isn’t a job, you know. It is a product to gain money with. They want rewards.

Then it’s not a bank. If players earned those research points then they should be able to apply them to other areas like we can use ground rp’s to unlock helicopters which I’ve done. Now helicopters are researched I’d like to apply the rp’s I’ve earned to either air or naval.

CRP’s are pretty much useless now and the amount I have keeps growing. I’d like the ability also to use crp’s to unlock boosters or unlock camouflage and maybe even some decorations.

Finally I’d like to see the reward for achieving medals be something other than crp’s.

Trust me, I know.

There are 85-dollar premiums in this game, and Gaijin is swimming in cash. This does not need to happen.

The point of playing a game is to enjoy it, but once you get everything in a tree, there is no point to playing it for the next 3 months.

In my case, I’ve been unable to grind a single Israeli vehicle for 6 months.

Depending on the country, yes, some do. Transactional fees, withdrawal fees etc. I’m not saying i agree with that, just stating that that is how it is.

Which is why you shouldnt need to grind that much to obtain things in war thunder…

We also want rewards for all the time we spent playing the game…

You claim the game “isnt a job” while you have a playtime of 9.2 months.

Why do it differently than Enlisted?

Then make it only availabe for premium account, or make it cost a few ge for a one time use, saving like 400k max and after the update drops you dont get the bank till you pay again.

For everyone here, this sounds like the suggestion for you all to go like and spread the word about:

No idea, i have no insight, say nor behind the scenes info on development.

So, let me get this straight—you really think it’s fair that players shouldn’t get an RP bank, even after investing 7,372 hours of actual playtime? To put that into perspective, that’s the equivalent of:

  • 307.2 full 24-hour days of continuous playtime.
  • 3.5 years of full-time work, assuming a standard 40-hour workweek (7,372.8 ÷ 2,080 hours per year).
  • The UK median salary is around £35,000 per year, which, after 20% tax, leaves about £28,721 per year.
  • Over 3.5 years, that’s £101,820—money you could have earned working instead of grinding in War Thunder.

Yet, despite spending this much time, players are still met with excessive grind, slow RP gain, and ever-increasing research costs. The time investment required to progress in the game is nowhere near proportional to the rewards given. War Thunder essentially demands full-time commitment but doesn’t provide players with meaningful progression in return.

If spending this much time on a game doesn’t warrant better rewards or an RP bank, then what does?

I’m sitting at 20 million right now. At 45 RP/1 GE would cost me 444,444 GE to convert all of it, which would cost roughly 2,5k USD iirc.

Edit: Sitting just at 2,066 dollars, so I’m not dropping 2 G’s to convert it. I’ve always thought they should have a ‘weekly allowance’ where they give a certain percent to you to use for free.

This is a suggestion that would be better than the current system. However, its still incredibly unfair as the cost would still be crazy. Why shouldn’t players receive the rewards for their work?
