Alternatively, the shortest money saving tip I can send you is: [B]Never spend Gold on anything except premium time foremost, and premium vehicles second.[/B] Everything else isn't worth the conversion rate. Never convert Free XP because the cost is absurd. People here are generally knowledgeable about which premium vehicles are shit and which ones are comedic money printers.
Also, the first nation you play - you get shoddy 250g reskin premiums for, for free. They'll help you grind a tiny, tiny bit for the first "Era" of whatever nation you decide to go with. You generally can't go wrong with USSR for easy mode.[/QUOTE]

I guess the only thing to do if you're restarting is just get the Russian first air battles win and grind away. It'll be as grindy as it'll ever be.

I know for 100% that I wouldn't.
The problem with tank games is any of them that are remotely populated have asshats behind them, if you like tanks you kinda have to choose who will fuck you over. If you're going to play planes and have a stick there are a million alternatives with great communities but tankers are kinda fucked

idk Premium Vehicles and talismans always felt like they were worth more than Premium time since they last forever instead of running out. Sure in the short term you'll get less xp or whatever but in the long term you'll be able to continuously use them.
I'm pretty much only in it for the tank combat, arcadey stuff like WoT can't fill my void

There's a lot of games with tanks.
But there's not a lot of tank games.
And there are even less that have any kind of multiplayer component or playerbase.
With plane I would argue that War Thunder is the only one that does the lite sim thing these days and has a populated multiplayer scene. It would be great of there were more games like this. I'm forever wishing for a Cold War version of a War Thunder style game.

Rise of Flight has a ton of populated servers that use markers, and the stall speeds are so low you barely have to worry about them, and on half the planes there is no control other than the throttle to worry about

Though I wouldn't really call it a lite sim that's true but it's a pretty easy game to pick up provided you have a stick

[quote]ASU-57 was the first series-produced SPG in the USSR that was developed specially to be delivered by air for airborne landing troops.

wouldnt have expected that
so ASU-85 eventually?
One of the coolest looking SPGs I think

They confirmed the ASU-85 for some point in the future.
And unlike the ASU-57, the 85 had some snazzy new ammo or some stuff, I think.

All 11 kills were with The Heel, only just spawned in the Cromwell and then we won.
I feel so dirty...

[quote]1) platforms for guided missiles are for each tree being planned, probably in the same patch
2) 1:59 is a really big patch. Devblogs start next week, it will be 1-2 new day. "A lot" of new tanks and planes.
3) The calculation of the cost of repairs effect largely results from the K / D. The more efficient the more is paid.
4) The reduction in the cost of repair is planned, but "still has not promised anything ™
5) The implementation of "some" Top Tier-tank for each nation is planned, probably in 1.61.
6) Every patch are new additional armor for "the popular Panzer" added
7) The Sheridan comes as a light tank at level 5 and is in addition to guided missiles do not have the HE / shaped charges, but not buoyant, as he had to be converted for short and had no special motor.
7) Another floating tank is scheduled for 1:59.
8) At least two SPGs for USSR are planned this patch
9) ASU-85 is Work in progess (Sweet)
10) The Sture Emil comes in this patch into play too, and has loud BVV_d "the strongest gun in the game (in the physical energy ago). It will be faster than the thick Max.
11) M50 Ontos? "If I say anything to"
12) The IS-6 is not currently planned, but could come in the future.
13) The Tu-4? "Wait for the dev blogs".
14) New heavy tanks for the US (The T29 is a hot contender) are planned.
15) bombs were revised to real data.
16) The T-62 is coming, but is currently a work in progress.
17) You think about PTABS, but unsure.
18) Unguided tank missiles for aviators are currently discussed.
19) vessels are under an NDA. 20) Smoke grenades were fired from the main gun are planned, but only for tanks that they really had.
20) Smoke grenades were fired from the main gun are planned, but only for tanks that they really had.
21) Past riflescopes are currently too complicated, there are more important things. When they come out, but then in the interface as an option.
22) smoke artillery strikes are not excluded.
23) models for tanks and fliers to be revised (Spit 9 and T-54 mentioned)
24) Shilka, Cheetah and Vulcan come.
25) New Jets are planned.
26) The next nation will probably be France, full flyer / Panzer Trees are planned as Devblog - but these are still in progress and come naturally until they are finished.
27) No plans for supersonic jets.[/quote]
Is the Tu-4 based on the B29 or something?
[QUOTE=Timezbrick;50326312]Is the Tu-4 based on the B29 or something?[/QUOTE]
B-29s crash-landed in Russia after bombing Japan, Soviets copied them and rebuilt them with 10 23mm guns

Shiet, so I assume its going to be a prem?
[QUOTE=Shibbey;50326468]B-29s crash-landed in Russia after bombing Japan, Soviets copied them and rebuilt them with 10 23mm guns[/QUOTE]
iirc They also, in copying it, swapped to metric from imperial which led to a lot of sections being thicker - thus the whole thing is heavier (and I think slower?)
[QUOTE=Timezbrick;50326518]Shiet, so I assume its going to be a prem?[/QUOTE]
They built nearly 1000, I don't see why it couldn't be a non-prem, other nations get vehicles that didn't even exist in their main trees
26) The next nation will probably be France, full flyer / Panzer Trees are planned as Devblog - but these are still in progress and come naturally until they are finished.
hmm, still no Italians ?.... hopefully it will be next faction

If France happens we can get all their amazing post-war prototypes, like this contra-pusher prop with 6 20mms

SO.8000 Narval
That's beautiful. Contra-rotating props in a pusher configuration with a twin boom. This is pushing all my buttons.

nice, looking sleek, I would take it, but for prewar and war time Italy is imho better choice as first new
It's like a vampire that does not suck! A baby Venom!

Are those the ones that they [i]exactly[/i] copied (down to the non-Russian standard imperial measurements and rumor says the original was missing a rivet, and all soviet produced planes were also missing that rivet, which I feel is probably an urban legend :v:)
that Narval is some Sky Crawlers shit
contra rotating prop planes give me a hardon
[QUOTE=Dwarden;50327429]nice, looking sleek, I would take it, but for prewar and war time Italy is imho better choice as first new[/QUOTE]
Italy is the more historically relevant choice, but if you dip into prototypes (which both nations will [I]need[/I] to do to fill out their trees) Italy only really has more aircraft between 4.7 and 6.0. Both nations would play pretty similarly, with Italy leaning a little bit towards the German side of aircraft, and French planes being kinda close to Russia. The VG.39bis would basically be a Yak-3, fucking absurdly light aircraft (2000kg empty) with a 1200hp engine. Acceleration would be off the wall. Bit bigger aircraft so it'd probably be a bit slower. Looks cool tho
[t]http://www.airwar.ru/image/idop/fww2/vg39/vg39-1.jpg[/t]
Italy had own strong tree of great planes ...
so prototypes is the last thing they need as there is plenty what really were used
with France it's worse, there you need apply lots of rare/prototypes and foreign ones
note that also Romania had quite some own airplanes done too
so the optimal step would be turn Italy into new Faction and put Romania tree into German tree
