At first i was gonna buy the tiger line up since i already have the ju288c and the vk 45.01. But 8 was grinding the ussr tree so that why i chose ussr.
But there is a other sale coming in Christmas where most of the premium will be 50% off
My 7.0 US ground, it’s just a safe and easy to play lineup:
However I’m mostly grinding SL for the vehicle sale though, still have a bunch of vehicles that I have to buy.

I do have some advice to maximize SL gains once during the SL crate events: SL Gambling chest when - #7 by SilentTracker
Full Copy+Paste so the text colors show up 👇😉
SO! Just in case you did not know yet, premium vehicles DOUBLE the effect of SL boosters! (As well as doubling the SL % boost from Premium Time.) During the SL Crate events I can make as many or MORE SL’s than I did in the previous 2-3 months. If you really really want to push the SL crates, I would highly suggest getting premium time. I just get the 180 days of prem time 2x a year when it goes on sale for 50% off, only $20. $40/year, or $3.33/month. (If you don’t already have prem time, and don’t mind spending a little, you could get like 1 month for the crate event, and then get the 180 day thing off webstore during the Anniversary sale.) It is NOT on sale right now, so $40. But on 50% sale drops to $20: Gaijin.Net Store - Premium account for 180 days
With prem time+prem vehicles+all the SL boosters you get during the crate events, you can easily get twice as many crates (and twice as many chances at vehicles) than if you didn’t have prem time, or use prem vehicles.
Premium Time (Account) + Premium Vehicles + SL Boosters = 🤑
Second advice for those SL boosters, do NOT double up on the SL boosters unless they are going to expire. And do NOT spend all of your SL’s on crates during the first day/week! I only buy more crates when I run out of SL boosters. The RP boosters are like 2x or even 10x more common that the SL boosters, so I will double or even triple up on the RP ones so they don’t expire like crazy. But the biggest boost for me was forcing myself to spread out the crate purchases over the entire month so that I could use up the SL boosters and get MORE crates over the course of the event.
Happy hunting bros!

My suggestion is to farm the SL before the crate event strikes, not during.
Read my post above. It is EXTREMELY effective to maximize the SL boosters you get from the crates during the SL events. To repeat, I make as much in one month during the SL crate events as I do in the proceeding months in between the crates.
It is important to build up a war chest of SL’s before the SL crate event starts so that you can keep getting SL boosters once the crates start. But once the SL crates do start, that is the most effective time to spend grinding SL’s for maximum efficiency.

MiG-21S in air RB.
A good premium helicopter + booster in PvE
Activate the wager of most AI ground kills in air rb. Almost no one go for ai targets and with gbu 39 its so easy

EDIT: I was thinking of ORDERS, not wagers. Orders ARE affected by the 2.0x SL boost from Premium Vehicles while WAGERS are NOT affected by Premium Vehicles.

But are there any premium planes with the GPU-39’s currently? That is the only downside I have found with using those 😭
Dang, yeah just checked all the planes that show up. I wish we had a premium A-10 that had them 😂
No. But put a F15 a talisman or smth idk.
Completing the wager its the main goal anyway.

A Talisman does not give you the double SL effect that Premium Vehicles get though 😭 And while yes, that wager does give a lot of SL’s, check my post above about how Premium Vehicles DOUBLE the effect of SL boosters: Winter SL gamble comming soon, share you methode of grinding SL - #13 by SilentTracker
That wager is definitely still a great way to farm SL’s IF someone doesn’t have a good premium vehicle and/or Premium Time. (There are some good Premium Strike planes that work well coupled with that wager in ARCADE, probably not so great in Realistic though. Not like using the GBU-39’s.)
Well aside of gbu 39, you can also use a plane with rockets and ballistic computer. That worked for me, using the mig21 and that german trainer jet, there must be a premium aircraft with those 2 things for sure.

The couple/few Premium US planes with Zuni’s work VERY well for me! (Much better than the Mighty Mouse rockets for me.) Can get pretty consistent AI ground target hits from 2-3km out, sometimes even further. Ok, rocket reload speed is same as bomb reload for strike aircrafts in Arcade. Checking regular fighter’s speeds.
OH even the Premium F-18 has Zuni’s! Not strike though, so I don’t think reload AS fast. Sec still, checking reload times for Arcade.
Reload speeds in Arcade for AV-8B (NA) Harrier, is Strike aircraft:
Reload speeds in Arcade for F-4S Phatntom II, is Fighter:
AH, Ok so while fighters still get slower rocket and bomb reload in arcade compared to strikes, the rockets still reload 2x faster than bombs for fighters.
My recomendation for rockets strikes should be at max br 11.0
So you can take as many ai targets without being killed by aam.
Personally i like taking the normal rockets in air rb, less people interrupting me while killin ai.
Also you can activate the ground killing order.

The A-6E Tram fits that BR, if anyone has it. Did it get added permanently for GE’s since they removed it from the store? I can’t remember.
Also the A-10A, the Hydra rockets work pretty well for me.
Oh, and the AV-8A has rocket loadouts too, fwiw.
And and the F-5C.
For US anyway. Idk as much for other countries.
OH! One obvious one for RU is the Su-25K.

OH DERP! I was thinking about the in match ORDERS which ARE doubled by Premium Vehicles, but the WAGERS like you talked about first are NOT affected by Premium Vehicles! Sorry! I am going to edit my previous posts to clarify. Doing BOTH Wagers AND Orders is even more $$$. Making more coffee, will edit in a bit. Cheers bro!
