How Do I Effectively Grind Air
Hey, I was wondering if there are any tips or tricks to grinding through airplanes. I usually spend all my time on ground so I dont know the RP payouts at Arcade vs Realistic and idk how to grind faster in either mode (ie what is faster, bombing or playing fighter?) I just dont want to have to through money at a free game Thanks

Get a Hitlerbolt if you have the GE and run it in RB, you'll gain 40K per match if your decent enough to go for planes.

Fighters generally is a better way to grind, while bombers is for mainly farming SL.

Ground pounding is also a pretty good way of grinding... I think... am I right? Please tell me I’m right...

Really depends on how good you are and what you use.
So what GM and what plane do you want to GP with?

They nerfed the reward and it's not even equivilant to a aircraft kill by quite alot, unless your using prem aircraft, going GP is not an effective way to grind and teammate might curst at you if your in a fighter and going GP.

It gives you a 100% boost of RP and I think 50% boost of SL.

well, yes, but it's even better with prem account to go with it, it's the fastest way to grind in planes.

The rewarding system is also nice with fast research, you won't feel the grind but you lose alot of SL if your commited in grinding planes til tier IV(be warned).

Depends on how willing the other team is to blow their energy to hunt you down. Some games you can get a quick strike in and then run and come in later on without too many issues, other games you'll have 9-10 people chasing you on the deck across the map while your team is climbing or dead.

I recommend finding a plane that you love to fly, preferrably within or next to the tier plane you want to grind, and then just having fun. Otherwise it's goingto be a pain. In a good game in a p47n15 or d28 I can make over 100k SL and about 6-8k rp non--premium. Of course I have bad games, but I still usually get at least 40k/3-4k. That's still a lot of games however, and if I flew planes that I didn't love flying it would absolutely suck.
