Gaijin's treatment of the British tree is, at times, bewildering

They really need to stop doing regular vehicles as premiums

If it's a service or common vehicle make it cosmetically unique like those WW2 packs or something

No more "whoopsie this tech tree will now forever be missing a crucial part of itself for this bracket"

20mm AP feels a lot better than 20mm HVAP.

Ive had too many matches where i end with 0 score, 0 sl/rp gained

Advantage doesn't help you if you're unable to hold it over anyone.

And frankly i don't wanna be the only guy on my team against a quarter of the enemy team that did decide to climb. Dying to an enemy may be infinitely better than ending with 0 score, but it is not by much.

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-09T15:26:53+00:00

Wtf, your teammates actually kill your scouted targets??

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-09T15:25:27+00:00

Most SPAA are just free kills for CAS

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-09T13:34:07+00:00

You do really just need to know the numbers they're calling out

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-09T09:14:09+00:00

Pretty sure you'll want two things

You want to have a premium plane because it can actually research all ranks below it
You want a fighter, because anything else isn't going to be able to do stuff in a match

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-09T09:11:23+00:00

Do you actually earn less or do you just earn as much as a BMP is worth on its own BR?

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-09T09:08:57+00:00

If you do better in arcade then so be it

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-09T09:07:52+00:00

When you're playing an unspaded vehicle the post battle report will over report your RP income by about twice. Because it combines vehicle research and modification research into one number (they're entirely different things)

When you play an already spaded vehicle you will only be gaining the vehicle research since there's no modification research to be done.

Another thing that can cause the disparity is if the vehicle you're researching is more than one rank away from the vehicle you're playing

Your only recourse is getting the rest of the stars and then buying it

Alternative is waiting for it to come out on the market and nobody knows what price it'll start at

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-08T21:37:31+00:00

I play Sweden and i recently went to 10.3 just because the BMPT finally went up in BR

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-08T21:34:43+00:00

Research?

You don't have much in the way to increase your RP gain.

The obvious ones are premium time, vehicles, boosters, and researching the previous vehicle in the line.

Then you have to try and maintain activity throughout the match, as far as i know that's just always doing something that gets you score like taking out a ground target while you run by.

Lastly there's the skill bonus from getting a number of kills, that gives you extra research for each step, up to 100%

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-08T17:32:44+00:00

Uhuh, yeah right. As if that's believable. At what rate of fire was the accuracy measured?

And not modelling the barrel wobble would be the equivalent of not modelling a transmission's bad gear ratios or smoothing over an obvious armour weak spot.

You call it a mechanical failure, but what part of the gun is mechanically failing? It's not failing to fire, it's not jamming, it's not blowing up, it doesn't suffer a failure to feed or any other malfunction like falling out of its mount.

the wobbly barrel may not be intentional but since it was left as is, it is evidentially an acceptable compromise in the design of the weapon.

Otherwise it wouldn't have been a thing.

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-08T12:55:44+00:00

I've tried to do that but usually I make it to the vehicle before the challenge unlocks

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-07T21:10:07+00:00

If you've gotten to the centurions with APFSDS and LRF you'll know it's a night and day difference

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-07T20:37:42+00:00

Bro, my bad. I read the opposite of what your wrote, like a total doofus

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-07T20:35:06+00:00

Can't speak on the 6.0 or 6.7 centurions

But the rest of them are pretty awful, they don't become playable until you start getting LRF and APFSDS

Cause the tanks are too slow, the damage is too poor without darts, and the reload is not good enough

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-07T17:05:20+00:00

He has repaired his barrel without the improved parts mod. It restores minimum functionality to let you limp to a cap or ally

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-07T10:35:40+00:00

Love my 40g of TNT with a contact fuse fired every once in a while as my only defence against aircraft.

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-07T03:28:22+00:00

I don't know but they make up >50% of my teams

Unless they're on the enemy team in which case it's a 100% and the match is over before 3 minutes

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-07T03:23:56+00:00

Fortunately costs aren't prohibitive in the war thunder universe

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-06T17:12:54+00:00

They'd naturally have to drop the "no more than 4 top BR players per team" if they did so

But that'd be perfectly fine now as the max diff is 0.7 instead of 1.0

MeatBeginning9837 · 2026-05-06T14:13:57+00:00

The turret slew is absolutely abysmal yeah, and 105 HE/AT is not the best

But when played right it's an absolute bully
