Air/Tank Assault good for grinding?
I like to play WT, but unfortunately I'm one of those "Players" people hate. the ones who don't want to die or try to play through one fell swoop; I don't P2W on here as often as I do on other games.

But anyways back on topic, I kinda ranted to my friend who also plays WT because I'm sick of losing turnfights against what I believe are planes that are outclassed by my plane yet they are good in turnfights. I play in the 238 thats the plane I use to make lions and rp fast. I have 2 months premium to help increase the income.

So he said, Then I Recommend you to play Air Assault and Tank Assault. I was like Whats that? he said, Well its a Defense game mode but you are fighting bots. I wasn't so satisfied to hear bots, but then he said if you really want to feel like you can actually fight and play good, its the gamemode is good for someone like you, So I told him I'll keep his word on that.

So I tried it out and Air Assault was fun but frustrating at the same time. They're bots, you expect them to be at the dirt... skill wise but They are pretty good which does bring the challenge, there is nothing wrong with that. Tank Assault on the other hand is more difficult because sometimes bots pull off shots many people would call bs. from a mile away or even more.

But the one thing I've noticed out of all of it, I'm actually getting through my research efficiently than i did when I was in Randon Battles.

Do you think Assault is good for grinding?

No, they are somewhat ok for the once a day bonus but they give no where near that much xp.

If you gave the time then try out an enduring conflict (air sim), don't let that put you off. Try out sim and get use to it, then take a heavy bomber into it for an hour or so.

I played a 3 hour game the other day and got 102K RP.

Yeah, but any heavy bomber can do it really. Just use the room list function to find a good match.

The co-op modes are not good for grinding, but they are good if you have the patience play a match everyday to get (hopefully) a good RP boost for 1 mission. No matter how many kills you get, the RP you will recieve is still not adequate for how long you put into the game. The AI is also an issue, they will never do any damage to you until they decide that you have to die now and will either light you on fire in planes or one-shot you in tanks when you don't even get hit.

I thought these co-op missions would be good for grinding out modifications for T5 at least, but even that isn't the case. In my opinion, the only reason to play a match (and as far as I know instantly leave and still get the reward if you wanted to) is to get an RP boost for one mission, but chances are you will get either a better or similar one just from logging on daily.

Its not even really that fun at all. Its impossible to win with anything LESS than an absolutely dedicated team, so pub match is out the window. And even then the AI are so brutally imbalanced....

It's good to grind yourself out of credits, at least in Ground Forces PVE that is.

With a good team it's possible, but you generally get a low level team who insists on landing at the airfield to repair their plane, and chase after bombers who dropped bombs already, no matter how often you tell them it's a waste of time.
I simply tell them to Press J but they are like NO WAY THATS A WASTE. Not really, I played my Fw190 A-5 and when ever my plane was damaged beyond flying worthy, in other words the elevators are shot off or engine burns out of fuel I'll press J and spawn back in with the same plane as many times As I can.

On a "Good game" and I put that in quotes because its not often you would win an assualt.
but I can get anywhere between 15-30 kills and get about 5.7k rp or more. And with a score like that, I can go right through my modifications and research planes fast.
