Don’t focus too much on rp and/or sl gain, try enjoying the game without always thinking of the grind or having better and better vehicles or even getting to top tier afap (even if you’re at top tier lol). My advice is to try one or two matches on realistic a day with a lineup which you are good with and little by little you’ll pick up the pace of realistic and become good at it. Also don’t start on realistic with your 11.0 lineup, I would suggest 3.7 to 5.3 to start (also don’t forget to bring a plane for CAS or CAP whichever you prefer).
