Then it’s not a bank.
You don’t pay a bank to use your earnings lol

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?
Aren’t you? You gain SL and have fun doing it.
In my opinion the “work” you do isn’t even work in that sense, its a game you play for fun. If you think it isn’t fun and only feels like work, then you might want to rethink how you play the game. Additionally it’s free, the DEV’s need to make money somehow, some might not agree with the chosen method and that’s fine, they are allowed to disagree and voice that opinion.
The current system of rewards (the research bonus) is intended to make it more enticing and less of a daunting task to start a new tree in a new nation. giving a way to unlock a nation by playing another is going to drastically decrease diversity of vehicles in matches as well as having fewer player queue up for the lower BR’s thus increasing queue times. I think that type of implementation is going to hurt the game more than help it. there are surely better solutions to your issue than you suggest.
Its essentially not free. Most veterans in this game buy premium time because thats the only way to unlock vehicles within a reasonable timeframe

It most definitively is. I think the DEV’s stated somewhere about a year ago that ~80% of players never purchase anything.
Because I usually enjoy playing it. From the sound of it, you don’t enjoy that luxury.
Perhaps money isn’t everyones chief objective? Besides, If I had worked more, I would have to pay top tax on it.
If you want to see it that way. I had the air and naval game complete several times. Life remains the same really.
I fail to see any connecting logic in this. Other than your personal benefit. You could turn the argument around and ask $80 for a premium. Oh, wait…
