Arcade vs RB

I’m not mining for salt, just wondering which is better for grinding research.

AB if you die a lot
RB if you can survive entire battles in one tank

Naval RB and AB shouldn't be any different for that, just play the one you prefer. (RB for me!)

Don't know much about how ground RB rewards compare.

Air RB lets you focus on just one line of planes, while air AB pretty much demands playing a broad lineup, but I'm not sure how it compares in terms of total RP/hour yields.

In all cases I'd mostly advise picking based on which you enjoy more, unless you really find there's no difference there.

SB if russia top teir for some reason. They are just really good SB vehicles

Grinding depends more of player skill than mode, the ability in racking up lots of kills per match, assists, capping zones, and winning most matches... that is what counts most, loss and win counts alot towards the rewards no matter the mode you play.

T-55s and T-62s were way ahead of NATO vehicles

I'd say RB is better for vehicle research as the RP gain for that is boosted, and AB is better for tank modules, as RB and AB give the same ammount but AB games are faster so you can play more AB matches than RB in let's say an hour and get more RP for that

RB is def. better in grinding out RP. In my experience, a Rank III premium, some free time, and a glass of chocolate milk has gotten me through many an aircraft tree hehe.

I believe AB is for more of a casual play style, like just wanting to derp around and out-turn Zeros in a PV-2D! I sometimes bounce back and forth between the two, especially during an event where you need X amount of kills for Y aircraft (like the XF5F event last year).

In the end, both are super fun to grind RP with! You'll soon find what gets you a steady flow of RP in time, it may take some elbow grease of course.

First off, I'd rather imagine that has more to do with whether you're looking at grinding tanks, planes, or boats.

I would actually say the reverse of this, to be quite frank (except probably in the case of air mode). Repair bills are a bit steeper in realistic, but I've found that not being automatically lit up like a frigging Christmas tree from halfway across the map while behind cover does tend to give me a few more moments to think and respond, rather than getting bum-rushed immediately. Granted, surprises tend to be nastier, but that works both ways.

Personally, I like realistic for whenever I'm working towards a thing and arcade mode when I'm looking for something to do without getting too serious about the outcome.

YMMV, of course.
