      And someone can cry that the economy is fu...ed up: on planes in the days when invited friends were building me a Golden Eagles wallet, it took 8 hours of playing to make the 4th era. Hands up: who abhorred such friendship? XD!

      @@Asghaad My friend, economics is not about sitting on a heap of money no matter how skilled you are. That's what communism is all about. Gaijin has to make money because it is the same company as an internet provider or an apple seller. If you don't like its economy, don't play it. There are 2,000 vehicles in the game today. Let Gaijin give you one for every day you play - no matter how skilled you are.
      It will take you...5 years to get all the vehicles: ONLY FOR DAILY LOGIN TO THE GAME. Even with GJ's generosity, many people would not be willing to do so. Is that a reason to cry? Me: on a rank 2 plane (has a free talisman) I'm already inventing a 7th jet. It takes me about 2-3 weeks of playing, but a KD ratio of 2/1 is enough. In fact, I play a lot. Because that's the price of free play, you have to fill servers for people: who pay for new vehicles, talismans, premium account. If you don't like it, play DCS. You will have some two free planes, the rest at the GJ premium price.

      I have a comparison to one premium aircraft - A7M1. Prior to last year's eco changes, I earned around 130,000 SL for 4 kills and won the battle. After the changes, I earned around 90,000 SL for 4 kills and a battle won. So in this case, the overall economy dropped by about 30%. But every vehicle have different SL multiplier. But each vehicle in the game had its multiplier changed differently so it's hard to quantify.

      Yeah, good veteran war thunder player managed to unlock tier 1, buy tanks and crews in 4 hours. Was left with +30k SL. He most likely won most of his games and averaged between 5-10 kills in each game.
      Now let's see stats when a complete new comer starts fresh. He has no idea of the maps, doesn't know weak spots and how to aim accurate. This kinda player will most likely win max 50% of his games (if lucky with teams) and probably averages around 0.5 - 1.0 KD. Let's see how far will he progress and how many SL will he have floating around after 4 hours...

    Absolutely love this video seeing experienced CCs play in a non prem F2P account you dont always see that. Been playing WT for nearly 6 years. I only bought the Premium Account like 2 or 3 times (never the BP tho) to progress a bit faster for the Italian and Japanese Tech tree and this was like 2 years ago. Lately the rewards have been lacking, I find myself in some matches getting nearly 12 kills in 4.7-6.3 matches only to get something below around 60k SL and a measly RP which is a frustrating grind and time consuming. Really losing hope in this beautiful but head-ache inducing game

    • @Wujek_Dobra_Rada
      @Wujek_Dobra_Rada ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I think it doesn't make sense, a few years ago the game needed a lot of traffic on the servers because the waiting time for the AB game in airplanes was comparable to the game itself.
      Today, even when entering a simulation game, you always have a few people on the server and zero seconds of waiting. The game has reached the level of monetization of years of effort and is doing just that.
      Its premise has always been: for free players to stimulate the game for paying players. But it's probably ridiculous to think that there can't be differences in the progress of the two types of players.
      Buying a talisman on even a low-rank plane is enough for half the tree as you quickly discover it. Someone who plays for free for several years: can't even afford such an expense?

      What got me interested in WT was that the M60A2 dontcallitstarship was modelled in the game. So I made the rookie mistake of thinking I'd be able to play it soon after starting to play (insert evil maniacal snail laugh here).
      I rage quit for like six months due to this realization and general asshattery of WT game play.
      I then found my zen and realized that the game has no end. It is a perpetual grind. In fact the grind IS the game. Actually playing the vehicles is secondary to the "War Accountant" meta game.
      There is no reason to buy premiums because you aren't in a hurry. Game play isn't fundamentally different between reserve and top-tier. Its all just driving and flying around the same maps ruining other people's games. So I now play casually and patiently at the pace I can put up with, which is usually just the assaults and enough games to use the freebie boosters it gives.

      The game is good.. textures, models, terrain deformation, FX, variety of modes, vehicles, simulation of damage when shells impact enemies, etc. but economy, fuuuh, keeps me far from this game, I eventually play sometimes but grind tech tree is painnnnnn.

      That was gameplay so far above the average game that it should've been worth like a vehicle and a half, considering how little the rank 1 vehicle are.
      Average game for what I've seen on scoreboards are like 2-4 kills a game. I've seen lots get nothing, and several get 10+

      In that same time you could have completed dozens of other games, even RPGs.
      WarThunder is just the same battle modes on the same loop over and over. And then every other month, Gaijin does something asinine to piss off the players, who ultimately end up accepting it and continue playing anyway.

      I'll repeat what I wrote above: Even if Gaijin gave you one vehicle per day: JUST ONLY FOR LOGGING INTO THE GAME, you'd get all the vehicles in the game in ... five years. Question: why would he give you something for free with the effort of watching a movie on Netflix? Don't you understand it's a company, not Santa Claus?
      As you've seen in the video in this game, you can reach the 4th era in a few hours - enough to decide if it's worth paying for, and then pay for the creators' effort or go the harder, free way. If someone hasn't bought anything after playing the game for several years, they have no right to complain that it's difficult. Progress in similar games costs hundreds or thousands of euros, why should Gaijin be Mother Teresa?

    Edit: As someone who's played this game for almost a decade, I can perfectly survive the current economy and don't have much SL shortages at all, but I want to defend new playes.

    4:00 the stabiliser doesn't work at full speed, it only works if you're moving forwards on low speed.
    To be more technical: it isn't an actual stabiliser but a shoulder stock for the gunner, the gunner is holding the trigger for the tank gun like a rifle while looking through the tank gunner sight, so this gives the gunner a small amount of "stabilization". Only early tanks have this, the panzer II, panzer 35/38 (t) amongst others.

    Each time I watch one of your videos of WT I think to myself Mmm, maybe I should play this game again. So I download it, begin to play it and then after about 30 minutes or so I remember exactly why I uninstalled it in the first place. For a new player in the game this game has a very steep learning curb, it also doesn't help that even tho you are new to the game you can play against players that have been playing for years and know the maps inside out. And the less we say about the economy the better.
    Free to play/ =yes

    After more than 900 hours I finally used premium to go a bit faster on tank trees that I didn't play. It was night and day. The amount of point you get for doing nothing is crazy. With a friend we compared when one of us only gets one kill and a cap with premium and the other has 5 kills and a cap and no premium. The guy with no premium even with more kills got around 200/300 less research points. Let's not even talk about money, you get double the amount of money with premium.

    Finally a video answering the all important question: What if god was one of us? Just a broke ass low-tier scrub like one of us?
    But seriously this is probably my favorite tiers of play after 7-8 years on the grind. Just around the new year I FINALLY broke into 7.0 for the first time with Germany and my next highest loadouts are all still just reaching 5.0/5/3 and I almost always end up only doing one or two rounds before I am fed up and go back to rank 2.
    2.3-3.3 in my experience will always be the sweet spot for f2p grinding. The cost of entry for new vehicles is still low enough that you can make your money back before the next vehicle is unlocked and unlocks are still cheap enough that your match winnings usually cover any new unlocks on components you still have. The one time I bought premium vehicles about 4-5 months ago to use mainly for grinding I got the b1-ter and the French premium p-40 and throwing them both on a tier 2 french loadout and its been the best grinding I have ever had. Worth the relatively small cost to get the two premiums for better results. Before that Germany and Italy tier 2 were probably the best for grinding without a premium vehicle.
