How to get gaijined:

[Silverbird]

Introduce brand new event vehicle that takes 100 hours to grind (xm8).
Immediately increase repair cost by 50% and decrease income by 20% the next patch.

What else got hit hard with this patch?

It's impossible to see anything without reading 1000 lines of vehicles, which is gaijin intentionally obscuring this economy change. Ex: The maus repair went up by 10 silver from 12000 to 12010...wow...much impress...we totally needed this, FINALLY the game issue of maus repair being 10 too low is solved!

hehe, everything apparently, 4hrs and still waiting for repairs.

It appears they reduced repair costs and income simultaneously by 10-20% for all vehicles (that i bother playing, mid tiers).
This basically has the effect of reducing your progression via silver by 10-20% (if it were only earnings than it would be worse, but because repair costs are included it's more of a flat nerf).
That's my understanding of it anyways. Maybe there are enough flat income boosts that it's not as bad as 10-20% but it's still basically screwing everyone over, because repair costs were negligible.

Remember kids, "economy changes" NEVER make the game easier.

I don't remember everything, but a few Italian planes got hit hard, and bluewater Naval was significantly reworked, basically resulting in significantly increased repair costs AND reward %, so IDK exactly how that balance works out, but without playtesting it, those numbers are pretty worrying. Like, "went up in price by 15k" worrying.

Ooof yeah
I mean, the italians were a joke anyways with their repair costs.
You give them 1 or 2 good planes per BR lineup and expect players to not "do good" with them...
Then you raise the repair of a BR 3.3 plane from 2.8k to 3.5k and reduce the income of it at the same time by 20%.
5.3-6.3 fighters cost 8k, 7.5k, and 12k respectively and there are no other alternative planes to fly even.

Sometimes this game makes me wanna drink

Drinking is probably cheaper on your wallet and your sanity, eyesight and save you from carpel tunnel surgery.

Germany is what I play to Gaijin people, not to get Gaijin’d. Some of their medium tanks honestly feel like Main Battle Tanks now, Germany is probably the most fun nation, along with Russia of course.

I'm strictly talking about team mates with this one. There are just so many bad players who play Germany.

I wouldn't know, since the update I can't even get into game. Crashes every time I try to log in cause of a fatal error.

I've had a look at the economy spread sheet for the Brits so far, we've pretty much had everything (apart from naval) lose between 10% to 20% base SL for AB, which includes bought premiums.

They've then added that 20% to your RB multiplier to make the changes seem somewhat legit. But most long term players would know it's easier to farm SL on AB and XP on RB, so this 20% now given to RB tends to amount to very little (especially on an early death game) and short changes anyone who played air AB with premium lineups.


Before the changes say I earned on average 20k SL in air AB on my Boomerang Mk1 and then died:

20k - 2.2k repair = 17.8k profit according to their spread sheet (before rearming).

Since the patch I've had my repair dropped by a measly 100 SL but then taken a massive 20% hit to my SL earned every game (whether I die or not):

20k - 20% - 2.1k = 13.9k

So on average I'm now earning 3.9k less for the exact same amount of effort, not to mention that's the losses calculated from just one of my planes in the lineup.

Ok yeah, fair point. Even the most powerful weapon is useless if the wielder doesn’t know how to use it.
