Thought I'd add something that I learnt the hard way a few weeks ago. If your vehicle youre currently researching, say only has about 2k RP left, and you then play a battle and make said 2k RP from the match, you will obviously instantly complete it. However, here's the catch, if you have also just finished a tier of modifications on your current tank and got the RP bonus, that bonus will be wasted. It does not get saved for the next vehicle. So you're better off quickly switching the in-research vehicle to something else before the match, dumping your modifications bonus and then going back to finish the job. Or play a different tank until that last 2k RP is complete, thought I'd share this since I lost a 20k RP bonus from Mods like this.
Yeah i find this thing or mechanic is kinda sucks, also sometimes when you are almost finish a mod (for example, 1000 RP left) and the next match you play, you killed a few tanks to guarantee the 1000 RP, but you left the game before the match ends and hop to another game, then the RP you earned for that vehicle in the second match would be wasted, hence alot of time i see the leftover RP of 0RP when selecting a new mod to grind.
I think finishing a mod with GE will not give you the rp bonus also, Ive done this several times because I only had about 1-10 GE left on a mod and didnt get the RP popup
@@meerbee2910 hmm its weird then, i did get bonus RP when GE'd the last few RP of a mod, perhaps you GE'd the mod tier that you already have maxed out in the past, but Gaijin added a new modification which when you finish the new mod, the bonus RP wont show again.
My biggest tip DO NOT "accelerate research" with golden eagles! Ive seen way too many ppl with only 40-70 vehicles for USA but they have the f14. SAVE YOUR MONEY
One thing to mention for people that don't know is that grinding planes is WAY faster than tanks, with only premium and having a decent game you can get 10k RP peer match, with a premium vehicule you can make a solid 20k or even more, but on tanks is way slower because the RP is a little bit capped i feel like, for example having an amazing match with only premium will give you a max of 7.7k RP that goes to your next tank, having a premium tank will give you up to 12k and this is playing super good, so keep that in mind when you start grinding tanks vs planes.
Grinding planes I would get up to 40k rp in one match with a prem vehicle and prem time, bombed 4+ bases and got 2 +kills. My highest amount of rp in tanks has been 9k. Progression is substantially slower in tanks.
I go a slightly different path. I build up SL for a while playing vehicles I like and do the daily missions. Then I jump into a tree that I'm researching and unlock those vehicles I want, then spade them out, switching between those unlocked vehicles until they're spaded. Right now, that means researching Italian vehicles and play Germany/US to build SL. I know it's slower to research, but it keeps my sanity and frustration lower.
I like playing different nations and grinding up the trees, at times, because of having done it for several nations, I can apply the lessons and knowledge of higher tier to lower tier, and it usually ends up with high points on the leaderboard. This helps in several ways: 1. Silver Lion gains may not have the potential size of higher tiers, but I personally find I can make fair chunks of change every match. 2. Learning a different nation and tech tree can help break up the monotony of the game, as well as showing you the weaknesses of tanks that might seem scary or intimidating. 3. Building repetition thru multiple progressions helps refine and drive home the tactics that make life easier in high tier, whether that be how you approach corners, or just learning to listen for engines. I realize this isn't the method everyone will want to use, or would use, but it does help with the grind becoming more work than fun. I like completionism as much as the next, but a break can be nice.
@Ruska not every vehicle in the game, the German TT is almost done except Rank 7 and Japan the type 10, how many hours idk, I habe the standalone launcher not steam
I want to like type 60 atm but it's impossible due to how gaijin seem to dislike Japan overall. No way that thing still has wasd control and you have to wait for like couple of seconds before you can actually control the atgm making short range fighting impossible. I really don't trust gaijin's secrit documents for that tank
@@EPE77U yeah I used to thought the raketenjagdpanzer was bad, but compared to the Type 60 atm it is good, at least it can move the missiles so in optimal case you can just launch and it hit without keyboard steer while the type 60 starts launching it in space
I had a very minor technique that I used, it is when I am trying to research a low tier plane with a TT top tier vehicle - I always try to spade the vehicle, where the bonus RP of each rank of mods researched gets converted fully, despite researching penalties going for the TT vehicles, and I would do it when I do not like the premium of the nation and wanted to stick to top tier, such as Britain
Had very good success grinding high tier vehicles out quickly in ground assault. Yes ground assault, you heard right. Burned through 6mil credits in no time, just for purchasing new vehicles in 2 weeks.
@@little_weed192 Depends. Do you have more credits than you can spend? Friend of mine played along but he struggled to keep up with the credits whereas i had like 40mil SL to burn through. Dropped back to 24m thanks to high tier ground assault. But you need to know how to perform, if you suck, you drag down the whole team and end up making way less xp/hour. A good player should reliably score over 50 kills in high tier ground assault. I usually make about 100 kills in a challenger 2 or M1 and always win with over 10k xp. 5 games a day for one week are about enough to unlock a new top tier vehicle at this rate.
Another big minmax tip: Learn to play assault air and air sim. Grab a big +300% booster from assault and play sim. Easy 50k RP as a dumb player just bombing bases, up to 200k+ if you are actually good at it. Only really need to do once a day. With just Sim i could easily grind from the F3D-1 to the A10 Late with just 2-3 games a day (Assault Air, Assault Ground for boosters, then sim) If you need the SL then I recommend hitting up Heli EC with a premium heli for easy 400k+ SL. Considering that most times when min-maxing RP you will lack SL, it would be a good idea to start stockpiling SL for the next sale. Also from my experience Premiums vehicles are best grinders until rank 4-5 (maybe 6 for really good premiums), past that premium time > premium vehicles, especially for rank 7. (If anyone has grinded that far without a premium vehicle, crazy tho).
Shame that there is no Tank EC for grinding tanks TT. At best if tired of PvP just hit Assault a few times. But it'll be 3-5k (6-10k w/ premium time) a match, which isn't that good considering that the matches are much longer.
Premium setups are really important. I recently rediscovered and old alternate account of mine after 10 years. I started fresh and bought the entire top tier premiums for the soviet tech tree. It literally took me arround 10 days of playing with a premium only linup to get to tier 8 in tanks. Granted i am playing the game for 12 years but still its so much more faster than back in the day when i grinded my original account.
I have nearly 700 hours in wt and playing the soviet tech tree only without premiums, and Im hard stuck on r5-6 cuz 1 tank needs nearly 1 week and many of the tank are frustrating to play and it gets boring and annoying very fast. do u have any advice ?
I got from the panther D to the Marder a 3 in like 3 days by using the Turm 3 and just trying to have fun. If u treat it like a job then you will hate it so much
Thank you for having a YT war thunder channel that is clean, and free of inappropriate content. On top of that, the lessons themselves are very handy in-game.
Thank you for being straight forward. I don't want to watch a 20 minute video where the guy is explaining what he did for half the video instead of telling me what I want to hear.
I've been unlocking every vehicle in the German tech tree and fully upgrading them all as I go one at a time. The bonus points you get from doing that I huge, I've already fully done tier 1 and am almost done with tier 2. Plus the perk of learning to use every one of those vehicles is great.
With respect to video requests: I, for one, would find it beneficial to learn the most common strategies for positioning, and levels of being aggressive; for instance in a heavy tank, is it common to run in and brawl, or better to get close and hide to snipe? Also, in a random game, what is the most common strategy for choosing which type of tank to start with; for example, always start with the highest BR, or based the choice on heavy tank vs medium, vs light tanks, etc? I often question myself on whether I should start with the medium tank with the highest rated crew or the heavy tank with the lesser crew, but more HP to withstand my over aggressive game play. Yeah, I'm the guy in the heavy lumbering along, headlong, into a cap circle meeting three or four hostile forces. It isn't pretty.
A lot of this is vehicle and map dependent. A Tiger E, for example, on an open, long range map does better at sniping, but on an urban map, they can angle and sidescrape pretty effectively while brawling. First spawn is up to you, it's helpful to the team to spawn light tank and rush to cap points, but you're also saving more spawn points by picking an expensive heavy tank to bring in first; if you're in an uptier, a light tank will be more useful compared to your higher br teammates, but in a full downtier you have more game impact with a well armoured heavy.
Remember when auto repair is on, it pays the full SL cost _immediately_ after you die in that vehicle, (meaning mid match.) So even if you plan to continue playing that lineup, the amount of SL you save over time piles up. Another benefit to turning off auto repair is that, in the case you don't want to continue playing that lineup, you aren't spending money to repair until you choose to play it again. For example I play 5.3, 6.7, and 8.0 America a lot, even though most or all of my vehicles there are spaded, whereas I don't use their 7.0 - 7.7 lineup as much, even though most of my vehicles there are not spaded. Part of that is due to my preferred play style, but it's mostly because that 7.0 - 7.7 lineup is expensive as all hell to repair. So every now and then, I'll play that expensive lineup, and then switch over to the other lineups or switch to other nations while I wait for it to repair. An important thing to note is that if you do this and decide to play other nations in the meantime, make sure to leave that lineup you're repairing as the active one so that it gets the bonuses from the crew slots, (also make sure that you level up your crew's repair rank so that it can repair the vehicles in question efficiently.)
I have my British Phantom in a perfect position to quickly unlock any aircraft I want I have researched all modifications except for 1 per tier which are almost all done. It will add probably about 100k instantly to any plane playing minimal games. I think I will use it for the Eurofighter when it comes.
Does that mean this modification RPs are going strait into the Vehicle you are Researching? REGARDLESSY if its a Rank 1 or Rank 7 vehicle? Or is the Rank difference for modifications capped at some point? For example The 10K experience for researching All mods on a rank 1 vehicle going strait as 10k experience on Every vehicle in the TT no matter the Rank of that vehicle?
@@EPE77U 90% of the time I play Arcade Ground, I hate grinding out aircraft as well just to stay competitive in RB. my Highest is 5.7 (Not counting premiums)
@@imana3808 Dude I have 1,318 hours and I don't even have a single rank 6 vehicle. I play US & USSR in both ground & air though and I did not spend all those hours in matches. I also grinded Germany and the UK a little bit, my current ranks are: Rank 5 USSR ground, rank 3 USSR air, rank 5 US air, rank 4 US ground, rank 3 Germany ground, rank 2 Germany air, rank 1-2 UK air & ground I also do not have premium, only a few premium vehicles
My only problem is that I don't have much Silver lion because I grind air and ground vehicles at the same time (so Chi-To Late needs to wait). But I'll try to do this like you said from now on. Oh, and by the way, Assault Air/Ground Arcade also helps especially if you win
Cool little trick i found a while back if you finish research on a vehicle and have left over rp that the game tells you to invest right now there is no penalty for rank so you can research rank 1 with a rank v and not get the rp penalty. only applies for the rp you have to invest right away any rp earned in later matches will have the penalty as normal. This is great if you play air sim where you can earn tens of thousands in 1 game.
It’s better to unlock all the tech tree vehicles in that BR before moving to the next BR. Good for experience and if you only have to Callum’s of vehicles to go to top tier quick you gonna regret having to unlock those other columns
👍. Or they could just let players use the extra earned bonus/free rp. Instead of charging players to use it. It’s not like WT don’t have enough things we have to pay for.
i was thinking of this for a long time and it would be a very good idea what if all vehicles in war thunder can be unlocked by levels which means its only buyable by silverlions
Yeah wish younger me wouldn’t have just shot down the first three columns of the German tech tree cause now I’m Teer five in the first three columns while the last two columns are still at rank 1 💀
Why cant we just choose where earned RP goes, regardless of which nation we're playing? Like, if you really like playing German planes for example, you should be able to play with German planes but funnel any rp you earn into unlocking stuff from the Japanese air tree. Why cant we do this? It seems so stupid.
im personally playing britain right now, purely to get the Sherman firefly,The churchill MK7 and the Centurion, and FV4500. and im contantly running low on silver lion’s by the contant purchase of vehicles … so what i do isnplay germany (my original nation) why? well in 5.7/5.3, german player’s are braindead, so i farm my silver lion’s by destroying them. it’s easy!
Grinding war thunder is so hard this video is so in depth but I retained non of the information. I earn 500 rp a game if I win and 40 rp if I lose and it seems that every single bullet I fire either doesn’t penetrate or just ricochets off. I’ve been playing for like 2 and a half years and every single hour as went into tank for Germany and I have one tank that’s like 5.0 and the rest are like 3.7 br or lower
I'm a here because I just unlocked the t80u and I have been playing for a hour and haven't gotten the Sabo shells yet I only have 3 kills and thy were 3 ww2 pumas trolling I have 15 death so far and like 2 kill assist everyone has Era and I literally can't kill anything in top tier how do I grind this out I got only 4k in the first Sabo shells and they are 12k to unlock
Wait, I have the SU25 and if I for example wanted to use the bonus rp from modules to reasearch lets say the rank 4 bombers, will the rp reduction apply to that as well?
I realy loved the av8 to grind with played out the us tree in a mont or 2 and at ease but i find grinding out ground is a lot harder couse i get less rp from it but still have good kills only caps seem to bring me most rp in ground rb
Am i missing something? Are you actually saying not to play in a research tree that has nothing to research, because it won't give you rp? And that's supposed to be a tip?
You will be part of 1 death leavers problem then (which is the reason people dislike playing around 9.7 br range). You know some people actually enjoy having longer battles than 5 minutes. I can understand leaving early if enemy team starts spawn camping or you get fucked by CAS
@@CALIMA2000 Yeah I get you. After all it's gaijin's fault for being greedy. I'm honestly just waiting for the day when 8.0+ starts to have very low population that it forces gaijin to do changes. Though not all 1 death leavers do it because of high repair cost. Many also don't bother to use many tanks because their favourite tank got destroyed (looking at you hellcat players)
You should add a picture of the vehicles or maybe even the tech tree while talking about stuff like this. Throwing out vehicle names and expecting people to know which vehicle is from which nation and where it is in the tech tree is meaningless. Even people who played for a long time will not have memorized every vehicle, so throwing out names means nothing.
10% bonus is useless if the plane that has it suuuucks really bad or you just suck with it... hence playing other plane which doesn't have the bonus is better because no 10% bonus on like 7000 rp is better then bonus 10% on 2 or 3000 RP per game Just sayin'
My rating is a 2 and my friends is a 10 but he decided to pull me into 10.0 tank battles and then got told to leave because im stupid little did they know i got 3 kills and 5 assists with 1 death because im not that stupid to push
USA,Germany, Russia and half of Britain I have completed. Had to take a long break for 6 or 7 months because I wasn't having fun anymore. I finally came back and man it is ruff, I feel like a complete noob with a f16 or a 2a6 lol.. I worked my butt off to get to the top, and every nation I get completely run over. Unless it's in the russian t80u. I do well in that tank only because the weakspots are tiny lol.
A. This is for completionists, people who don't want a skeleton tree like you probably have. As mentioned in the video. B. I'm not here to spend $60+ PER tech tree. If I were to get everything I want with premiums that will cost THOUSANDS of dollars. So no thanks.
@@lexonfors A. I grinded for 7 years as F2P B. It's ok if you have only 1 premium vehicle on top tier, you can literally grind anything with it. Only an idiot would spend that much. C. Don't jump to conclusions so fast.
@@hayian2575 if I only have one premium vehicle at top tier that means I cannot complete multiple tech trees. If I want to complete multiple tech trees getting a high tier premium will be $120 per nation (air and ground). Again. This method is for COMPLETIONISTS.

I have my British Phantom in a perfect position to quickly unlock any aircraft I want I have researched all modifications except for 1 per tier which are almost all done. It will add probably about 100k instantly to any plane playing minimal games. I think I will use it for the Eurofighter when it comes.
Does that mean this modification RPs are going strait into the Vehicle you are Researching? REGARDLESSY if its a Rank 1 or Rank 7 vehicle? Or is the Rank difference for modifications capped at some point? For example
The 10K experience for researching All mods on a rank 1 vehicle going strait as 10k experience on Every vehicle in the TT no matter the Rank of that vehicle?
Amazing video... I have over 1k h in the game yet I didnt even think about unlocking all the modules to get the extra RP.
41.7 DAYS?!?!?!?
How many tech trees are you on top on?
@@imana3808 Knowing war thunder, probably just 1
@@capncrispypoo I just went over 1k in hours and my highest br is 9.3.. Ground Realistic is painfully slow to grind especially if grinding many trees
@@EPE77U 90% of the time I play Arcade Ground, I hate grinding out aircraft as well just to stay competitive in RB. my Highest is 5.7 (Not counting premiums)
@@imana3808 Dude I have 1,318 hours and I don't even have a single rank 6 vehicle. I play US & USSR in both ground & air though and I did not spend all those hours in matches. I also grinded Germany and the UK a little bit, my current ranks are: Rank 5 USSR ground, rank 3 USSR air, rank 5 US air, rank 4 US ground, rank 3 Germany ground, rank 2 Germany air, rank 1-2 UK air & ground
I also do not have premium, only a few premium vehicles
My only problem is that I don't have much Silver lion because I grind air and ground vehicles at the same time (so Chi-To Late needs to wait). But I'll try to do this like you said from now on.
Oh, and by the way, Assault Air/Ground Arcade also helps especially if you win
In my experience if you loose or win in assault you get a booster non the less
Cool little trick i found a while back if you finish research on a vehicle and have left over rp that the game tells you to invest right now there is no penalty for rank so you can research rank 1 with a rank v and not get the rp penalty. only applies for the rp you have to invest right away any rp earned in later matches will have the penalty as normal.
This is great if you play air sim where you can earn tens of thousands in 1 game.
Biggest thing gaijin hates is saving SL it takes sometime up to 20-30 days to repair a vehicle and lowest I’ve gotten is 9 days it’s fucking absurd
4:16
Oh, ok!
**Skips the entire french air force all the way to the Mirage 2000C-S5**
I wish there was a free option for convertible rp but was less effective maybe 100 to 1 or something
It’s better to unlock all the tech tree vehicles in that BR before moving to the next BR. Good for experience and if you only have to Callum’s of vehicles to go to top tier quick you gonna regret having to unlock those other columns
Enjoy the grind and be happy for the gift that is the vehicle you unlocked
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahaahahahahahahhahahahahaa
Oh I though you had to own the plane or tank before the one you research to gain the bonus xp I didn’t know we had to use them
This was super helpful, thanks!
Love the video thanks for this amazing guide
Stock TT's are an issue, I agree. Got so many completely stock vehicles in my Tech Trees, like 90% maybe.
👍. Or they could just let players use the extra earned bonus/free rp. Instead of charging players to use it. It’s not like WT don’t have enough things we have to pay for.
Thank you this really helped me
so by spading a plane at T2 i can give exp to a T5 plane by completing a row of upgrade ? might be a dum question
The most obvious tip is to do the arcade assault game mode once a day to get the bonus rewards for things like 300% research bonus
3:19 how did you shoot heat through a fence?
i was thinking of this for a long time and it would be a very good idea what if all vehicles in war thunder can be unlocked by levels which means its only buyable by silverlions
Have you tried playing the tempest with the 2 37mms? Once you learn how to aim the guns it’s quite good.
3:00 Isnt that bonus 30%?
Im looking at trying to get the m1a2 sep what would be the best way to grind it out quickly?
Yeah wish younger me wouldn’t have just shot down the first three columns of the German tech tree cause now I’m Teer five in the first three columns while the last two columns are still at rank 1 💀
I guess one exception is if you want an aced crew for free
The natty side of the war thunder grind
Why cant we just choose where earned RP goes, regardless of which nation we're playing?
Like, if you really like playing German planes for example, you should be able to play with German planes but funnel any rp you earn into unlocking stuff from the Japanese air tree.
Why cant we do this?
It seems so stupid.
How do you repair, if you don't "auto repair" ?
Wait days for the tanks to fix?
Pretty much
im personally playing britain right now, purely to get the Sherman firefly,The churchill MK7 and the Centurion, and FV4500. and im contantly running low on silver lion’s by the contant purchase of vehicles … so what i do isnplay germany (my original nation) why? well in 5.7/5.3, german player’s are braindead, so i farm my silver lion’s by destroying them. it’s easy!
France got a op bomber that gets out of the fight as fast as it gets into it lol.
What does "spading" mean?
when all the modifications for a vehicle are unlocked it shows a spade on it hence "spading"
Grinding war thunder is so hard this video is so in depth but I retained non of the information. I earn 500 rp a game if I win and 40 rp if I lose and it seems that every single bullet I fire either doesn’t penetrate or just ricochets off. I’ve been playing for like 2 and a half years and every single hour as went into tank for Germany and I have one tank that’s like 5.0 and the rest are like 3.7 br or lower
I am doin 1-2k per match in a 9.0 prem with prem acc, grind is real it seems for tanks
I'm a here because I just unlocked the t80u and I have been playing for a hour and haven't gotten the Sabo shells yet I only have 3 kills and thy were 3 ww2 pumas trolling I have 15 death so far and like 2 kill assist everyone has Era and I literally can't kill anything in top tier how do I grind this out I got only 4k in the first Sabo shells and they are 12k to unlock
Wait, I have the SU25 and if I for example wanted to use the bonus rp from modules to reasearch lets say the rank 4 bombers, will the rp reduction apply to that as well?
Dude buys su25 and doesnt even know how research works......Fucking wallet warriors
do u ever play top tier bc in ur gameplay u play mid or low tier br.
Do premium vehicles still receive the rank penalty?
I realy loved the av8 to grind with played out the us tree in a mont or 2 and at ease but i find grinding out ground is a lot harder couse i get less rp from it but still have good kills only caps seem to bring me most rp in ground rb
My lineup is almost entirely premium vehicles because I just want the F-14. Also I’m horrendously bad
How can I grind tanks if everyone in tier 2 are all so good at the game
I only play Warthunder for about 1-2 hours a day anymore
I just want a strategy because i'm 3 days in and still stuck with tier 1 vehicles.... i'm getting bored
Am i missing something? Are you actually saying not to play in a research tree that has nothing to research, because it won't give you rp?
And that's supposed to be a tip?
As a busy father I have no hope of ever unlocking anything
well done albert einstein ♥ oh I mean tanker einstein
:P
Grind is not a problem money is the problem :D
soo uhh why is rp a problem sl is always the real problem at least for me i end up unlocking vehicles faster than i can buy them
Gather a lot of RP than wait till sales, you will be able to buy much more with much less
Yooo u have BI??? Make a vid about is pls
my tips as a f2p, only bring 1 tank every battle especially if the vehicle that you use have expensive repair cost. either you win big or none at all.
You will be part of 1 death leavers problem then (which is the reason people dislike playing around 9.7 br range). You know some people actually enjoy having longer battles than 5 minutes. I can understand leaving early if enemy team starts spawn camping or you get fucked by CAS
@@EPE77U that is the reason why 1 death leavers still exist. it just too expensive to bring more than 1 tank in higher BR
@@CALIMA2000 Yeah I get you. After all it's gaijin's fault for being greedy. I'm honestly just waiting for the day when 8.0+ starts to have very low population that it forces gaijin to do changes.
Though not all 1 death leavers do it because of high repair cost. Many also don't bother to use many tanks because their favourite tank got destroyed (looking at you hellcat players)
You should add a picture of the vehicles or maybe even the tech tree while talking about stuff like this.
Throwing out vehicle names and expecting people to know which vehicle is from which nation and where it is in the tech tree is meaningless. Even people who played for a long time will not have memorized every vehicle, so throwing out names means nothing.
I only have 2 tanks idk how to play and idk how to unlock vehicles
Bro I wipe the whole enemy team with premium and only get 7k rp I was getting 20k a year ago
10% bonus is useless if the plane that has it suuuucks really bad or you just suck with it... hence playing other plane which doesn't have the bonus is better because no 10% bonus on like 7000 rp is better then bonus 10% on 2 or 3000 RP per game
Just sayin'
Haven't watched the video yet - but thank you so much for this updated video and extremely useful knowledge :)
i love you tanky but i think i wasted my 10min on this one
When you edit out all the pauses it sounds like an unending sentence and is annoying to listen to.
AKA: How to play "War Accountant"...
No way I can grind or even play without getting uptiered or bombed by a 1000lb 😭
Review the black prince😢
My rating is a 2 and my friends is a 10 but he decided to pull me into 10.0 tank battles and then got told to leave because im stupid little did they know i got 3 kills and 5 assists with 1 death because im not that stupid to push
USA,Germany, Russia and half of Britain I have completed. Had to take a long break for 6 or 7 months because I wasn't having fun anymore. I finally came back and man it is ruff, I feel like a complete noob with a f16 or a 2a6 lol.. I worked my butt off to get to the top, and every nation I get completely run over. Unless it's in the russian t80u. I do well in that tank only because the weakspots are tiny lol.
i really want a tiger but these stupid stug campers are almost unbeatable
Bro talked about that little 10 percent bonus all the video booooooring
Bro giving advices but his crew is basic getting blacked out
Premium account + Premium vehicle, you're welcome guys.
A. This is for completionists, people who don't want a skeleton tree like you probably have. As mentioned in the video.
B. I'm not here to spend $60+ PER tech tree. If I were to get everything I want with premiums that will cost THOUSANDS of dollars. So no thanks.
@@lexonfors A. I grinded for 7 years as F2P
B. It's ok if you have only 1 premium vehicle on top tier, you can literally grind anything with it. Only an idiot would spend that much.
C. Don't jump to conclusions so fast.
@@hayian2575 if I only have one premium vehicle at top tier that means I cannot complete multiple tech trees. If I want to complete multiple tech trees getting a high tier premium will be $120 per nation (air and ground). Again. This method is for COMPLETIONISTS.
I can't stand the grind in this game it's atrocious. They have way too many rank 6 vehicles that need to be put into folders.
Ebin guide :DDD
Not bery uceful tho xD
The first tip is the most useless tip and obvious ever
Bros yapping saying the same thing over and over and over
much confuse
Uptier Thunder is dead. Face it.
It's not lol
More popular than ever lol. Get good.
Is this still a thing with the rp bonus?
It's a 30 percent bonus towards the next vehicle in the tree...
..In arcade.
So basically the same, because in Air Arcade your play time is split between multiple vehicles.
Grinding tanks is hard you rarely get any RP
