You need to drop down to low tier and earn more silver, cause the economy of the game is broken.

Also if you purchased a top tier aircraft, then you should be checking on tutorials online on how to use them. As Gaijin doesn't provide the information nor keybinds to use them properly.

Since you're new and didn't gradually learn how to play War Thunder, you need learn how to operate your vehicle. There's plenty of guides. Check out Defyn for air-to-air combat tips and Tim's Variety on YouTube for radar and weapon systems knowledge. Both will likely have a video/guide on the specific vehicle you purchased.

Defyn is a player that focuses on creating victory conditions within an Air RB match and provides invaluable insight into how you should operate a given aircraft, and just simply make you a better air-to-air combatant in general.

Tim's Variety focuses on the more technical aspects of a given aircraft. What's its individual strengths, how do the weapons operate efficiently, what are its weaknesses etc. He also has general guides for Missiles and Radar, which are both important to understanding your aircraft and the opponents you'll run into.


Another thing you can do is join Custom Battles lobbies. There are plenty of lobbies that will enable you to practice your air-to-air combat knowledge against actual players, which is more valuable over all. Custom Battles do not contribute to SL and RP gains, but it's a great live test environment.

If you've completely run out of SL, use your Reserve aircraft and practice Basic Flight Maneuvers while farming Silver Lions. You'll need to spend some time in the Reserve ranks to earn a healthy amount of SL again, but that is simply what you need to do to get out of the hole you've created.

Once you've gotten a comfortable amount of SL, start taking what you've learned into combat to earn rewards with your jet.

thank you @jaes for your answer but not gonna lie i miss to play and farm against bots because as soon as i try to manuver my jet instantly my pilot faints because of the G force and i have to stop pushing and die mostly bc of that while other jet player massivly destroy me i love jets and that killed me at the end i guess

I hate to tell you but you fell victim to the very thing people are protesting right now. I wish I had more helpful advice for you.

Do you mean you bought a premium jet? Should have made enough SL with those 30 free repairs to repair for a bit after that, otherwise this game may not be for you.. Especially considering premiums are cheaper to repair as well.

[Basement_Merchant]

yes i mean the premium jet the 100€ one i know its alot of money but i like aircraft especially the jet ones so i couldnt wait for 200 hour grind so i bought at 10 hours a jet

Buying end tier content before you learn how to actually play the game isn't wise.

[Rigor Mortis]

start a costum game and pratice there its all free

30 games isn't enough to understand energy retention, radar mechanics, targeting angles for heat seeking missiles, missile physics, leading your shots, custom controls, spacial awareness etc.

So, as I said. Good luck.

this is how gaijin's economic system works, even if u had a kd about 2 u still keep losing your SL, finally u'll have to pay REAL MONEY to "repair" that bunch of VIRTURAL CODES

[DaVId]

the only advice is, considering yourself had an expensive "pro-made" meal from, u know, gorden ramsey or something, and forget about it, don't even think about it for a second time, then go out have some fun with your friends and family, that helps a lot

Someone should mention crew skills - you can upgrade the crews for your vehicles and improve them in multiple areas. Doing this by playing naturally takes (considerable) time. In this specific as you have a pilot with no or low stamina/g-force tolerance - not great for something as fast as a jet once you try to pull a manoeuvre as it will create intense g-force. At low level you will pass out turning hard in a prop plane. For this reason and general game knowledge it is very valuable to start at lower tiers.

Yup, G LOC, will hit hard in everything you fly, and in jets much harder than anything else. You need to get your G Force Tolerance and And Stamina up to help you last longer before the screen goes black and you can't control.

Then on top of that, getting an expert crew, and eventually grinding to a Ace Crew (or buying it flat out for some GE) further improves it.

Not sure what jet you bought, but look up some gameplay footage and recent commentary on it. As well as learning the different systems and how to use/counter them.
