    I love that you’re actually positive about the game. Coming from War Gaming I know how bad it could be and Gaijin is generally good.

      Thanks, buddy! I don't like complaint videos. All the big War Thunder RUclipsrs do them and they get loads of views. Many of them have valid points, but they don't really help anyone and they tend to be low effort videos, haha. I've been meaning to release a video kinda going over that, but we'll see! I just like making guide/tip/ history videos. Thanks for the kind words!

      I'm also transitioning to WT after getting tired of WOTBlitz and WG, it's encouraging to hear this. I like that research seems more transferable in WT and I may not have to grind quite as much.

    I have nearly 600 hrs in this game from the last few months (lockdown has helped!) I've spent quite a bit of money on it and I'd advise no one to try and play completely for free, but I wish I'd spent some of my cash better. So cash tips:
    1. Buy GE (Golden Eagles) through Gaijin store - if you like the game you're going to spend quite a bit, so you can regularly buy the 25000GE for around £100 - a 31% discount.
    2. Buy a 1 year premium pass - at 15000GE this is 78% cheaper than buying day passes - but it has a further 50% off several times a year - and you pay with GE, so combined with point 1. above, it's actually reasonable value at around £30. This will make the grind far less painful and you will never really be short of SE (Silver Lions).
    3. Buy the Starter packs when on 50% sale. They're already cheap, but when on sale you get a few cheap GE and premium passes as well as some low level premium vehicles for early grind which have good boosters for Silver Lions and Research Points.
    4. Only buy premium vehicles when on 50% sale and never anything less than Rank 3. Early game you'll be tempted to speed things up, but really you pass through Rank 1 and 2 very fast, so you'll probably never really play those vehicles again. Same with adding Talismans (which costs GE and doubles SL and RP points earned with that vehicle) - overall very few vehicles are worth Talisman, but certainly nothing below Rank 3 - Talisman are also often on 50% sales, so wait to see which vehicles you play regularly.
    Vehicles at Rank 3 -4 are the sweet spot as you spend quite a long time playing at this level and the research points on vehicles at this level influences up to the higher ranks where the grind is quite painful. Equally don't buy too high a level, there are no real shortcuts, if you buy a high level jet, you won't have the skills to play it and your crew will not have the skills to support it - do your research, google is your friend. Many premium vehicles are not good!
    5. Don't buy every vehicle you research - if you're not going to use it and it's not part of the progression line you're aiming for, don't buy straight away - Gaijin often have 50% 'sales' (you buy with SL you earn in game) so you can save a whole load of SL. I currently have all the German level 5 jets researched, but haven't bought any of them - I have plenty of other trees to play and when I buy at 50% I'll save millions of SL.
    6. Never spend GE to speed up vehicle research or buy modules - it's a massive waste of money. Much better to play a few games with the vehicle in Realistic Battle mode (just hit a few ground targets if you're finding it hard to hit aircraft).
    7. The only thing I now spend GE on is crew skills - and even then only on G-Force and Weapon maintenance (Vitality can be useful too, and reload speed if you play a lot of Arcade). Those skills really effect playability of a vehicle, the rest are not so important and you'll earn those skills naturally over time. Even this small spend can get expensive if you have 5 crews in each of the 9 nations.
    8. Don't get hung up on events and boosters. They can really damage the enjoyability of the game and are not really worth the time and pain.

    I`m new at WT and I bought a lot of premium tanks. i`m not very good should i have stayed with the beginner tier tanks? I`ve spent a lot of money. how do I earn spawn points i have ground attack planes but I can`t play them not enough spawn points

    • @StiXWasHere
      @StiXWasHere 3 года назад +1

      If you haven't found your answer already: If you're new then you should look to progress normally (only invest in premium time and vehicles around your own BR at the start), you earn spawn points by doing stuff in your vehicles, such as damaging, killing, getting assists, capping, spotting, and even taking shots. You need a certain amount of spawn points to spawn in a plane (normally 480 I believe) and any added armaments, such as bomb and rockets, will cost extra spawn points

    • @harits3183

    9:54 thank you so much for saying this. I take this game way too seriously a lot of the time, and I play win usually. However, sometimes I don't want to get all competitive. It almost requires a mindset of aggression towards other players which can get too negative pretty quick. As such, arcade lets me have fun with my tanks without getting into that hostile mindset that I so often find myself in while playing rb

What really gets me is when a small tank destroys me with the one shot, when I was in the same tank I had to run or be killed ,I’ve watched my comrades take hits and keep going if I try to keep up I be destroyed just to loose another tank.I don’t believe I am playing with other live people in this game or it’s with just a few.I really like this game I haven’t seen anything better but I’m getting a little tired of getting the shit knocked out.
