Is it worth buying the DLCS

[Shac0le]

Havent played that game myself,so i wanted to know if its worth to buy the Dlcs or if its mainly a waste of money or not rly important to get them

[Nenne.]

what DLCs ?

Not really important, one can do without. Most of them come without premium currency too, which they were much more generous with in the earlier years of war thunder. Eagles may be better.

If you want to support the development or is interested in some vehicle or just got some stwam funds to spend then sure.

Got a bunch of dlcs myself, just to support... havent even used them all...

I bought the T-72AV (TURMS-T) Pack. Helped me grind to top tier for Russia, so I think it's worth it.

If you want to buy stuff right now, don't pay full price through the Steam DLC page. Enter the game, then open up the store and a lot of the vehicle packs are 50% off for the holidays. US and Japan campaign packs are $7.50 each and come with a premium vehicle, so a decent value.

High-tier premiums can help you grind through a tree relatively quickly, but be advised that in ground battles you will be stuck with one high BR vehicle and whatever low-tiers you have unlocked. Same thing in Air Arcade. It only really works for Air RB, because everyone only gets one spawn, but keep in mind you will still start at a massive disadvantage in terms of player and crew skill. A brand-new crew on a jet will constantly black out if you even so much as think about possibly turning the aircraft. It's doable, but be prepared to die a lot and your teammates will not thank you for that. Luckily, the premiums come with 30 free repairs instead of 10. . .

The Steam DLC is very expensive, and intentionally so, it's marked up 30% to cover Steam's 30% cuts, so buying the DLC or even Golden Eagles through this is a poor financial decision.

Oh yes, the dlcs i mostly got on -50% which already is expensive.

But thats what they do, they have an idea of the actual price they want, then they double(+) it so they get the price they really ask for on discount days anyway+more than that from those that can't wait or have lot if money and dont care.

Bit smart & sneaky (also not so smart in some ways imo) cause many of us don't really like their pricings and that they hold back so much. And the lack of premium currency in their packs is bugging me a bit.

Early on, they'd add 10k eagles
+ some extra vehicle(s) for the prices today that have single vehicle with almost or no eagles.

However i do like the game so it's still worth throwing a few bucks at to support a little bit & say thanks for the game.

Wish they'd focus qol updates more tho...And be more generous with these things. Would be good for wts reputation, entertainment quality & playerbase - & income too with that of course, but whatever i guess.

I know that :) But thats in every team game :D Was the same in League of Legends 3 years ago and now im under the best 1000 Players in EUW

EDIT: So its kinda only worth to buy it to grind ur stuff faster? But its not necessary to buy them to enjoy the game right?

Honestly, I think the WT community is better than LoL's, at least in Air. It's still a pvp game and the added stress of the event isn't helping, but people don't seem to type too much toxic junk unless you crash into them, which at that point it's kinda fair game. Rarely, some crazy/toxic person will team-kill an ally who just "stole their kill," but the more common response is just to complain about it.

Tanks, especially RB, is pretty much a camper-fest, including the Gaijin-approved spawn-camping, so that seems to draw in/create a little more toxicity. But if you are coming from LoL I doubt much will surprise you.

Yes, correct.

Beginner packs are also only useful to research the lower ranks with. Not worth aiming for the high ranks cause it is a long road (hundreds of playtime hours) & even with premium stuff the progress rate is rather slow already after rank iii. So all good picking one of those up. And there are a ton of vehicles on the low tiers, only downside is that maps can become a bit repetitive there..

Went freetoplay for years without problem.

Turn auto repair off once u reach rank ii, and try playing 1-2 nations on the side if your main to build up a good silver lion economy. One match or two and move on to the next once your lineup needs repairing. Crews repair your vehicles without silver lion cost then, will make it much easier for you to afford new vehicles & crews + expert crews..


Also play some before buying something, wt have had lot of connection errors and server problems since the lockdowns started... see how the game is for you, some dont notice it much and others get kicked out of every few games at times with high lag spikes etc.

That honestly depends on how good you are at the game and what vehicles you enjoy playing. In the first 2 ranks it's not hard to make money, even if you aren't great at the game, but at later ranks even a 2:1 K/D with the bonus from winning a match may end up costing you more than you earn if you pay the SL to immediately repair the vehicle, and at higher ranks the free repair times can be well over a week without the relevant crew upgrades. But the players who regularly end up with a 4.0+ K/D don't seem to have income issues. . . With the exception of a few very, very expensive vehicles to repair.

If you are short on money a premium vehicle that you can do well in can help "print" more funds for you to use, whether you earn it from player kills, base caps, NPC kills, bombing bases, etc. There are other ways to earn money though. For example, taking late-WW2 bombers into nearly empty Simulator Battles and cautiously bombing bases can earn decent money and if you are careful there's a good chance your bomber will stay alive for the entire 3 hour match (or however long you decide to stay in it).

Also, the PvE Assault modes give each give you 1 booster per day which a lot of people seem to overlook, but even a 75% SL boost is nice, and they go up to 300%.

Wait so do i understand that right,i need money that i get from kill to repair my stuff?XD
