What mode will give you the most credits to get to this?

just go in realistic mode, try not to die cuz if u survive the entire match it gets u around 6k to 10k research points. If u do die then before u do make sure u have killed something or done something in the match. If u die before killing anything at all then u just get irritated cuz u lose money but not much at all. U lose like 1k depending on what plane u used. I suggest u do bombing in realistic mode instead of being a fighter cuz ur not in direct danger and ur getting good points and good money. Good luck and have fun!!

You don't have to get the entire year long subscription. Just get a couple of weeks when you go to research it, and it will be alright. Or, you can get a vehicle pack and it comes with ge + Premium so you can get more. What I would suggest.

Money Money or Play 4 year free for unlock lol.

wait for a sale, never buy anything full price. Everything goes on sale a least two times a year. Also a premium plane can be better for grinding planes.

Air realistic battles can be extremely profitable if you're good. Then again, jets are hardly "impossible to unlock" in any mode if you're good. It should take no longer than several weeks (could vary depending on the nation) if you know what you're doing.

Air RB for RP, for SL, try a bomber that isn't too expensive, has decent payload, and isn't up against a horrible BR. Or play arcade

[Meme_1284]

Play rb, with planes you do well in. Focus on having fun 1st and grinding 2nd, otherwise you’ll get burnt out. If you are willing to pay (I recommend during a sale) get premium time for a few weeks, or buy a premium plane or pack with a plane and ge and prem time.

What nation are you grinding, and what br/rank are you at? Maybe we could also give some advice for those planes.

If you're not too bad, RB helps quite a bit.

But with the RP gain nerfs these days, it will take a lot longer to get to jets without a premium aircraft and/or account.

Likewise you can also look at smaller trees. China, Sweden, and Italy are all fairly reasonable to get through. Just 2 of those 3 are just a little overinflated in BR or Repair costs (or worse yet, both) due to their statistics likely not taking player skill into account (which is really hard to do properly IMO). Then you need to consider one of these does not have an amazing top tier jet (yet), nor all thay big of a jet tree to start with.

If you realy want to maximese RP gain. Then SB mode is the best. By far the best mode.
Get a good premium plane and fly SB for some hours and you get a ♥♥♥♥ ton of RP..

Thats how i got down to Viggen..fast..

Surely though, skill is an entry requirement to go that route? My goal when I started playing last year was to fly some jets. It's not much of a priority anymore, and I'm almost there, but it's taken an obscene amount of time.

I've been working at Realistic for a couple months or so now, and I still have plenty of games where I die before I even cover repair costs. For the time and skill I have available, I wonder if Arcade might be more lucrative. I've wanted to check out SB for a while, but I'm worried it's just gonna lead to more of my play sessions ending without me having made any progress.

Also, I have only the bare minimum in controls beyond the M&KB, which I imagine puts me at a disadvantage.

I'd always advise anybody to drop any hangups they might have and play arcade as well as realistic. Arcade is great for building your crew levels and also spading modules at a reliable rate.

[whatdoesthisbuttondo?]

Sounds like OP is talking about SL and not RP being the problem, which sounds about right.

You can unlock jets perfectly fine in a couple of weeks playing tech tree planes without premium in Air RB, but SL is an entirely different matter.

Given without premium the later prop planes frequently require a 4:1 K/D ratio just to break even without taking victory bonus into account, or in other words require you to kill one third of the enemy team in a normal match all by yourself... and that is just the planes with a "normal" repair cost... you get the idea.

Only realistic way without premium for the average player is playing rank II until you are absolutely sick of it, and then play some more, and some more, and yet more. Plan for a year or so until you have the first jet and enough SL to not go broke immediately.

And then realize that unlike Ground where the good gameplay is at the highest tiers, gameplay after rank III in Air does take a nosedive it never recovers from anyway.

Personally, I'd suggest to play early WW2 props and be happy with it, the rest isn't worth the time. At least you don't have to suffer through the bad parts like you have to with Ground just to get to the fun gameplay.

If 'credits' means SL, go play naval. Naval, especially rank III blue water, has superior rewards to other modes. (I recommend RB, but I am not sure if the rewards for ships are different in AB.)
