Why do you need half a million RP to get a jet ? After I spend weeks to a few months grinding out the tech tree ???????

[Fanatical Extremist]

Like they keep on adding new vehicles to the game but not making the grind anyways quicker. It takes so long to unlock a jet that has 400,000 rp for the Normal player not will take a really long time. It’s just unnecessary to be grinding a 400,000 rp get thats just way to much rp man and takes to long... And like I said before they are not even helping us get the jets faster it’s a long ♥♥♥ tedious grind that can just leave the player burn out which then then result in a long brake from the game or never coming back. If I get 13k rp only about 7k will go to the jet. Like think about it like this the player has already grind though the American p51 line and the f4u line. Why the hell does they play need to grind for half a million RP and save SL for multiple jets to get to the top????? THAT MAKES NO SENCE TO ME !!!! And if they do people will come back bc it won’t be long to grind. Yes the grind can’t be fast bc I don’t want a noob in top teir but at the same time 400,000 rp is to much and long. But Gaiijin are acting like people can consent get over a 5 kill game all the time.... give me a brake.
It is time that we use out voices to try to make the grind better for the average player !!!! Hopefully they will make a big change to this system.

Tell me not I don’t make a good point because I know I do !

Didn't they lower the cost of rp and sl a few months ago? Or was that just for tanks?
I do agree tho it takes ages to unluck stuff while being f2p.
I prob stay f2p since 50euro for 1 tank is way to much (thats like a tripple a title on launch, for pc)
And almost 8 euro for 20 days? I want atleast a month for that money.

Just my oppinion dont ban me lol.

They did reduce RP and SL costs a while back, most jets got reductions IIRC

Yes- Planes like the F-86A-5 went from ~360,000 RP to 90,000 RP. In some cases, the RP cost was significant and in other cases, not as much. it ranged from 25% reduction to 75% reduction, iirc.

Jets at the top most tier, however, did not get a reduction as far as I can remember. I believe some were increased marginally (380k to 390/400k). Essentially the economy was rescaled to 6/7 tier system, where as before it was a 5 tier system, and tiers 6/7 were extensions of tier 5, making everything cost a ton.

the more expensive is the vehicle or aircraft more people will buy premium you know the drill

Rp rewards seem lower since the last patch update tho, nothing conclusive to prove it however, just a feeling and experience that i get lower rp for my matches.

Seen several posts about it suspecting the same thing.

Seems a conflict within the company or dev team, (naturally) regarding what´s best for the game in this matter.

go back and spade your planes, you will get bonuses to research for it.

Me: Oh boi, I'm finally gonna get the F-4 Phantom, then I can be competitive!
Gaijin: Let's just add in another one after it for the same RP cost at the same BR, but just better in general with an in-built gun, flares, advanced avionics memes, and missiles that are literally twice as good as the other Phantom's!
Me:

That is one of the main reasons I despise top-tier, you get the shiny new thing so you can be competitive, then they just add in a significantly better version of that thing that apparently everyone unlocks in the first hour of the update going live while you have to grind for ages getting stomped by those vehicles.

This is going to be an extensive comment. I play this game since 2016. Over 2.500 hours in total. My advice is if you are an F2P player YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. In this case if you want play top tier you have to choose one nation only. In this case if you max out only the vehicles that you like then in 4year time you may play top tier tanks, planes and helis, I don't know about ships because I never played them. If you want to max out every single vehicle then you have to choose either tanks or planes and it will take again 4 years of almost every day gaming. I read that many players complain about grinding vehicles. Well grinding it's not the problem and the reason is simple. You choose an assortment of vehicles that you are good and you grind fast even if you are an F2P. What is really painful is maxing out a vehicle for the very simple reason that you don't have the option to help the research with other vehicles. So your vehicle is stock and you fight against fully upgraded ones or premiums. To have an idea a top tier tank might take you a month to fully spaded with almost every day playing. I play only German tanks and I have all free vehicles maxed out with the only exception of Radcampfwagen 90 that is added in the last patch. It took me 4 years to do so. Now a couple of things to consider. Play every day the assault. If you finish it you get around 4.000 rp, boosters and universal backups. Spend your warbonds in universal backups and rp boosters. Try to gather GEs either with the bets or through the Free GE app. Once you have enough GEs buy premium vehicles on Black Friday with 50% discount. Premium vehicles help a lot in grinding and they are maxed out from the beginning. I agree that with the introduction of helis and supersonic jets top tier is not fun anymore for tankers but up to 8.0 the game is fun for everybody.
