How much would it cost for a fresh to buy everything in this game outright?

[Lovely, Milky Milky]

From a new account, to get every vehicle and crew fully levelled up. Has anyone ever worked it out? To make it a complete game I bet it would be in the thousands.

I just invested plenty of time mostly.

I been playing just over a week now and have put in over 100 hours and £18 (a steam pack and 1000 eagles) . Have barely scratched the surface.

No, it's not thousands. I had 20,000 golden eagles and I've spent most of it on planes and SOME crew skills. If we included all of the packs, you're looking at roughly $350 or so to get everything unlocked provided you do all the footwork for the stuff that isn't premium.

I've been playing for almost 1.5 years, I got all the planes, most of them expert, and most tanks. Took me almost a year to get my first jet since I played every aircraft I unlocked to expert first before continuing.

Here is a breakdown of the costs to upgrade crews. A little over 2000 GE's for each plane crew. A little under 4000 GE's for each tank crew .
Better save your allowance. lol

Then there is the cost of premium units if you are really made of money.

I believe this was once tested in 1.29.. from memory it was about $400 and a fair few hours of play to save up Free XP. Of course this won't be accurate any more since the 1.37 system was integrated.

I read this one a while back.. but I don't know how it compares to todays research values.

"I spent over $800 on this game I purchased over 200 aircraft and modified them before the patch so that after the patch. I would not have to spend anything more and would be set to move into the Jets." - Dec 2013

Yikes. I'm all for entertainment, but $800 is excessive to say the least.

[Euphoric]

I spent about $150 on this game over the years. I only buy 75% off premium planes and tanks or the bundles on sale. I also only buy the years worth of premium when its half off. I got about 1200 or so hours of play time after playing for two years.

I got 6 crews for every nation, i play arcade and I'm up to tier 5 in all the planes though I don't play them much anymore. Everything in tier 4 and down planes is upgraded but not expert on most of them.

Tanks I played when they first came out and just picked them back up again. I'm just getting into 6.0-6.7 BR tanks for germans and russians with everything below 5.7 fully upgraded.

So I guess that sums up playing through the grind with a little pay.

I've got most planes in each nation, started playing in 1.29 but only really made progress after 1.33. I think I've spent about $150 on the game in total and now have quite a few of the jets including a few top tier ones.

All in all $150 + 500 hrs will get you to tier IV in all nations and then a bit extra from then on will get you to the jets. Keep in mind I'm just a slightly above average player so if you're legendary at this game you will probably unlock things faster than me.
