Does RB give you more $ and Research?

[big pisser]

So i tried air rb ages ago but i accidently shot down a friendly in a dog fight with other plane,
-16,550 lions, which at the time i could not afford to loose that much money. But now it is better but i just want to know if it is really worth playing air rb because im at tier 4 and my plane cost 75,000 to research which is a really slow process

If you are good at shooting down planes, then yes. You can make a decent amount of profit from just 1-2 kills if you have some trigger discipline.

[Smetrix]

Yes you get more research points, but you need more skill than AB, no more arcade performance and lead indicators

[TroshKitty]

And it's more fun imo. It'll raise your skill by a lot.

[Der Lachende Mann]

While ground RB has better rewards than ground AB, for air that's definitely not the case. In most cases AB air will wield quite better rewards than RB air.

Several reasons for that :

RB air, 1 spawn, which means you get one chance to do well, or to do anything at all. Air targets are strictly 1on1, so if somebody shoots down 2 planes somebody else won't even have an air target.It takes rather long to get to some action, and you might just get shot down without doing anything. Also, once you run out of ammo you'll need to get back to the airfield to rearm, getting there, landing, taking off and getting back into action is another 5 minutes basically just wasting time. And you need to pay attention on how you're flying, or rip your wings...

Even if rewards in air RB are better in theory you're just too limited in getting them, at least for me air AB pays out way better.

I just consider Air RB more fun and enjoyable than AB. There aren't many suicidal maniacs in RB. But yes, you can get a good amount of SL and RP if you fly well

Am I the only one here who likes air RB :(

If you know what you are doing, it's really exciting. Plus kills feel much more rewarding. I spend a lot of time in air Arcade getting loads of kills, and it feels like a 3 kill plane RB feels better than a 12 kill Arcade.

It's not like Arcade isn't fun, it just feels like you don't have to think at all.

[TroshKitty]

It's so much more than than. You have to think in RB, and you do get to fight.

If you want great reward play sim battles.

In comparison to RB:
1. Sim battles has more rewards.
2. Sim battles last about 10x as long.
3. You can join a sim battle at any time from picking in the battle list...Thus, you can join an ending battle with a friend.
4. The Sim battle the curve is a lot harder.
5. Bombers are actually useful in Sim battles....

Unfortunetly the SL rewards are horrendous.

In RB I think about what to do in the 5-10 minutes it takes me to get anywhere.

And that’s good, that’s what you’re suppose to do. (Which btw, climbing takes 3 minutes, so it’s an exaggeration)

It’s a gamemode that rewards thinking.

Arcade feels like a COD bloodbath, Realistic is a game of chess.

Hey everyone, thank you for your comments. I have been solely doing realistic battles for about 4 hours now, and i have already made 25,580 research for my A-26B-10, with only using my
P-47D-25, which is the fastest i have ever made research. No premium, no talisman. I think i will stick with rb, as i find it more rewarding and satisfying than arcade. I respect all of your opinions and thank you for commenting

This morning I did a 2 hour sim battle using my b-17E and made about 100k rp...Thanks to being noob and dying a lot I made only about 60k lions .

The best air mode is tank RB.

I mean literally wonder about what to do.. make some coffee, watch some youtube/twitch etc.. I'm not going to sit around for 5 minutes when there is nothing for me to do in the game.

Arcade is a mess and RB is way too slow for no good reason.

*In your opinion, and 5 minutes would be the channel map. Combat typically starts in around 3 minutes in. You must be single if 3 minutes is a long time for you.

I agree, the rewards are higher in most cases, and the rewards from kills feel more signifigant.

I can get 60K SL in less than 15 minutes. Of course, this is with premium account, so say ~30 minutes without premium — which sounds about right remembering before I got premium.

But the RP made is great, I got 73k in my IL-28 in about the same time, and it has a lighter bombload I believe. Air on air rewards are great as well.
