[ENG] How to almost afk pump air equipment.
By awake and I hate it
This is a guide for tankers who want cool planes, but he doesn’t want to spend a lot of time in RB and arcade air modes. The method is almost afk and does not require special skill.

A small introduction.
All tankers sooner or later decide to switch to taphole for one reason or another. Often we are interested not only in air battles, duels, but in throwing, storming other players on the ground.

But here we are faced with a problem - we need experience in dropping bombs, a long leveling of aircraft, since the threshold for entering air battles is high, and anti-aircraft guns are quickly shot down in joint battles, and so on.

Below I will tell you how to almost AFK pump out aircraft for a comfortable game.

P.s. I will not cut detailed guides in each of the aspects, you can easily find them on YouTube. Let's go...


Step 1. Preparation.
This is the first of the three steps we will need, which is preparation.

You need:

bombers with the heaviest load, in later combat ratings, these can be any aircraft capable of storming bases well.
and boosters for +300% experience (important) and +300% silver (optional)

1. In choosing an aircraft, I will tell you in the second step. Before proceeding with this method, it is recommended to acquire at least the initial bombers (in one battle you will pump out 3-4 aircraft, if not more).

2. Amplifiers for + 300% experience and silver (optional).

Few people pay attention to these two modes when choosing a game mode and bypass them.



The reward for the complete passage of these modes is amplifiers for + 300% experience or + 300% silver. For regular Realistic Battles, Arcade Battles modes, these boosters cost nothing to sweat once a day for them (this is the frequency with which you can take a reward), but for us it's a jackpot.

I repeat, I do not want to turn a guide to Tolstoy's literature, so you can look at the passage of these modes on YouTube or on the forums.
Step 2. Where to click, where to go to start overfarming.
We're going to swing into aerial Simulation Battles, but don't rush to press Alt+F4. This is really an AFK leveling, read to the end.

To get started you will need:

1. Watch just a couple of videos on YouTube - how to take off in simulator mode and how to drop bombs. (It is extremely short and easy to learn this, and most importantly, it opens the way to the speedrun of top aircraft).

2. Understand how to enter Air Simulator Battles.

2.1 In the main menu, click on "Events and Tournaments".



2.2 Definitely! We do not click to participate, but look at the list of rooms, ongoing sessions.


2.3 Looking through the sessions - you can see the fights already in progress, you need to select according to the following criteria:

1) Required Battle Rating. (If there is already an airplane in the set up, then the text of the lobby you need will be written in white)

2) Pay attention to how many players are on the teams. I do not advise you to enter where there are less than three players on each side, as players can leave the match and it will end too quickly (if there is not much choice, then we go).

3) Match time. If you want to take the maximum, then go into battles that last less than one hour and play as much as you have the strength, time and desire.

Step 3. Farm.
There is nothing difficult in this section. I will not give you abuse through airfields and self-destruction (hey, you can find it on the internet).

The plan is as simple as possible:

1. We take a beaver with a maximum bomb load or a plane with missiles (to whom what and how, everyone has their own choice).
2. We fly to the nearest enemy base or airfield.
3. While we are flying, we watch a movie, do our homework, drink beer and talk with men about life.
4. They flew - they threw off the load, farmed points.
5. Then, according to the situation, you can fly back to the airfield and land, or you can jump out of the plane through J. All your sorties and deaths will pay off with useful actions and amplifiers.
6. We loot millions of experience at the end of the battle and get high.
Pros, cons.
Pros:

  • The advantage is that under boosters, one battle can bring you literally millions of silver and experience, while a lot of skill is not required from you.

  • In simulation battles, players rarely find you in the sky, as they are busy capturing airspace, attacking ground vehicles, etc. You literally fly without obstacles and bomb bases.

  • Beavers have a third person view from behind the Turrets, on the V button by default. This gives you an arcade advantage over fighters, and you can also easily shoot down bots with turrets.

  • The experience and silver gained is up to you: you bomb bases and airfields that spawn regardless of whether there are players in the lobby or not. You are on your own.

Minuses:

  • Airfields and bases have defense turrets and aircraft. On heavy beavers, you have the opportunity to break one base + airfield. At the initial stage, it is very difficult to beckon from anti-aircraft shots.

  • There is a chance that bot planes will rise to you from the airfield. Do not miss this moment and shoot down with the help of turrets, look at both.

  • Quite boring, afk gameplay, albeit profitable. Without a series, a video would be extremely difficult to pull off such an offer even once a day.

Well if Gaijin didn't make the grind a torture simulator then people wouldn't do this. Blame the company not the players who actually want to play vehicles they want instead of getting there at a snails pace.

Thanks for the guide! As a new player, yeah, I’ll be doing this because I just want to collect some aircrafts, but don’t really want to sweat it out in RB yet or get pennies for rewards in the actually fun AB game mode. Idk what the rewards looked like before the nerf, but I’m still netting 40-50k exp a game (vs 1-4 k in AB, lol) and basically ace all bombers in one battle!
