The War Thunder Grinding Method that no one’s talking about 

I forgot to mention that if you J out on the runway it breaks the cycle. DO NOT J OUT ON THE RUNWAY. Make sure to like and subscribe! This video was made by true gamers!

sim grinding sounds like torture

maximize grind minimize touching grass

Knowing me, the moment I try this, I loose 5 hours of my time and gain a total of 62 RP.

unlist this video before everyone finds this out

Seen few guys do that. Felt really good dropping GBU as they AFKed on runway.

Bros got that Garand Thumb intro going!!!! Great video though

even if you have no interest in farming like this i would still recommend doing it when you get a new jet to unlock missiles etc, will spear you from the pain of going into high tier RB with only 2 aim9b's or whatever

easiest way is to use your moms credit card and make sure your @ss doesnt get whooped

by 600 "points", do you mean as in the mission score?

That we where talking about this yesterday and you post a video about it today, really nice work 😊

Once I won a 4 on one dogfight in simulator 10.3. I only received credit for two of their deaths, but I managed to trick them into dogfighting me maybe 300m off the ground, where I dogfight best. The other two crashed into the ground whilst trying to keep up with my maneuvers.

that's fucked up they limit points, i stopped WT completely because they kept nerfing the simgrind, it made everything feel insignificant

Found out a few weeks ago. Jeezez. Did what would take weeks in a couple of days 😂

im mostly an rb player but i play sim here and there, my secret to faster grinding is that i go to the item shop and buy those 15% RP boosters that last 10 matches, they only cost 99ge so its a pretty cheap way to get a lot more rp especially if you know youre gonna be playing for a while. usually i get burnt out after 10 games anyway so it works out great. although since this gambling event is going on ive been spending SL for those 20% RP boosters that last 10 matches which has been awesome

i just did the entire russian tech tree it took me a week and a half where was this vid when i needed it

i liked the garand thumb intro lol

Damn this video wouldve been nice like a year ago if i didnt discover making 60k rp every 15 mins while having fun on arcade and not being miserable by botting on sim

Ugh... you were so NEARLY correct.... it's 800 points, not 600 points. No discussion of landing bonuses... or BR rotations.... or rockets vs bombs... France?? Why not ask someone who's blasted through FOUR air trees in sim who knows.... me :p

As a sim player... can confirm

i swear the intro gives hard Garand Thumb vibes

News just in, understanding the reward system is a grind hack, apparently? The trick is to not die, but land every time you earn the point cap between useful action ticks, this was as good as spelled out for us when the system was introduced. But playing whilst keeping close tabs on that will destroy your soul, and I still don’t buy that you’d get to top tier in 3 days doing it. Spading any aircraft within 2hrs is almost definitely bullshit as well, in a top tier jet there’s a significantly higher chance of being found and shot down, the match ending prematurely, the enemy team all leaving and that’s before even beginning to think about the maths adding up. You’ve also neglected to mention sitting on the runway for 5 minutes results in you being auto kicked for inactivity, so you can’t really run chores in the background or anything, you have to obsessively keep track of the timer. As someone who only really plays sim and has been here since the days when you genuinely could grind to top tier in 3 days just by playing the game properly, this strikes me as a bit of a clickbait title in the hope it’ll draw views. “Understanding the score system” just wouldn’t have had the same ring lol. It’s a flawed premise and relies on dedication almost literally no one has apart from bot farmers. Constantly looking for ways to cheese the grind is precisely why sim is so fucked to begin with, you ask what made Gaijin choose to promote consistency over skill? People maximising rewards for minimum effort is what. Before useful actions your activity used to be multiplied by the entire match timer, so people used to kill their mates in reserves on the runway, on a loop for an hour, get 300+ kills, then go and land and trim the rudder to 100% and set throttle to 20% so the plane would spin in place until the match ended and rake in literally millions - and a lot of people did this to speed run tech trees in order to sell accounts. “Useful actions” read as: “progress cap” was introduced to stop people being able to speed up the grind with unsportsmanlike bullshit. If RB tourists hadn’t come in and ruined it, playing legitimately used to net you almost half a top tier’s vehicle RP per match if you played well. Nowadays good players are punished for doing well because getting an ace or more in 15 minutes is worthless because the points earned don’t go beyond the second kill.

Yo does anyone else notice the subscribe button lighting up when the youtuber ask us to sub? That’s pretty cool

Straight up fire!! ❤

You could just play superprops until top tier in air arcade. Right around 5.7 is peak planes. Really maneuverable, really easy to get kills. 6.7 is fine but you start facing loads of jets which sucks to fight in with a prop. You can easily get 10-20k rp per game in air arcade if you fight furballs (you need to be really good to win 3v1's which happen a lot). You can hunt bombers with planes that climb really well and get 5k rp a game without much difficulty.

bro hit us with that old garandthumb intro

War thunder ad before watching a war thunder video

Oh look, more easy target practice *loads up Mig-23*

hey man interesting strategy! I wanna try it out but I did not quite underderstand how exactly it works... so you start a sim match, when u are on the airfield you start a 15min timer. Then u fly and bomb a base and return to your airfield within those 15 minutes. You rearm and wait until the rest of the time is up, then you start another 15min timer and go and bomb another base? is that how it works?

Well finally someone else found about simulator battles

OMG, War Thunder is another one of those "performance doesnt matter" games, it's the clearest sign developer only wants to waste your time.

question what do you consider a good vehicle for grinding in Russia's tech tree

oh so that's why I see people just sitting at the runway doing nothing in a lot of sim matches

If I suck in RB (sometimes) imagine playing SB with I dont know what is hapening, it cost me 30k sl per spawn plus I play ok xbox, yeah is not for me, altough, thanks for give this information

I just used the su 25 and got 50k rp for 2 hrs and that is a slow plane without a talisman 😮 tysm I can’t wait to try this with something like the Mig 23 ml

Jesus. I play sim in VR all the time and wondered why certain things didn't add up.

Now im just going to play ultrakill till this is done

so what we do is spawn in we have a 15 min timer before we get useful actions get 600 mission points in those 15 mins go back to AF and land and afk and wait until we get the useful actions and repeat without J ing out correct?

So i just started the game a week ago and this video is a little confusing with the lingo and game terminalogy. Could someone explain it like im 5. Thankyou

What do you do AFTER you get the 600 points. Do you leave the server or wait the 15 minutes and get another 600 points?

tbh that cover photo of the video is wrong wanna grind for the f16 f15 etc fast in the American tech tree grab your self the premium av slap 4 incendiary and the chaff/flare in the middle and boom load in to a game fly to the base when you get close or see enemy's near by just turn on periodic counter measures (you gotta keybind it ) and boom easy 3.5k research points with of course premium time also if you get a kill its like 6.5k i used that to grind for the f15 it took me one day 17 hours (just the f15) not the entire tech tree for the entire tech tree if you really grind i say about 20 days

Is it only possible in Sim?

Isn’t afking on the runway against TOS?

After experiencing the zero-grind world of DCS, i will never return back to this crap. Yes, you pay money, but you immediatelly get what you want to play in its full potential, instead of just speeding up the grind. And as a bonus, the mission design and balance are in the hands of the community instead of some greedy clueless product manager. And a second bonus, no bullying of joystick players by mouse users 😁

I'd rather fly for no additional benefit than just AFK on the field. At least it's not a boring wait.

Does this method work with heli pve? It also has useful action system

So from this method how much rp can gain from each sim ?

would make use of this but i got rid of war thunder cause it was taking up too much time

Bro stole the ammo of the whole world

Nice Garand Thumb intro.

What I don't understand is the timing. you say to spawn in, bomb a base, return to the AF and wait for the 600 points to be awarded before landing, then you land and respawn so that the 15 minute countdown restarts, but you have to wait to do something first or after the 15 min has passed?

I have absolutely no idea on how to fly planes in sim with a mouse. I man, i get the concept of how it works, but still. can someone explain?

What in the garand thumb intro was that

Do you NEED to do it in sim or can you do it in another game mode like realistic?

Am I going crazy or did the subscribe button get a rainbow outline he said “hit that subscribe button”?

How long before snail nerfs this? It goes against their monetised frustration business model to have people being able to spade planes in under 100+ games. The idea is to make it so darn boring and frustrating that you pay real money. It sucks, it really does. Maybe as this is sim and doesn’t actively spoil anyone else’s game they might leave it alone? I hope so. I have a bunch of planes I’ve not flown as I can’t be bothered with the grind. Maybe if I can get them spaded I might actually have some fun? I gotta get more premium time and give it a go. Thx.

This sound like doing some sort of work that you are getting paid for but you dont like doing. Grinding in rb is way more efficient if you look for rp/hour btw

follow up?

I haven't tried the method myself yet, but I have my doubts as to whether you can stock grind a vehicle in 2 hours. If I understand correctly, that's 8 useful actions in total and I don't know how many rp a useful action gives to be honest (let's say a top tier jet with premium time). Usually a stock grind takes about 200k rp or more for a top tier jet so I have a big doubt that 8 useful actions can give you 200k rp. Other than that, I'll give it a try. It seems to be a pretty effective method, thanks for sharing it with us, you got a new sub :)

Alright, I tried all this myself on the alpha jet. Bombing bases in sim gives me about 26k RP per hour. Simply playing in air rb gives me 35 to 40k RP per hour. Useless way to grind tbh, I find air rb more fun and it gave me much more rp than in sim. Wasted my time trying it in sim tbh... with 7k RP every 15min, I ended up with only 84k RP after 3h, which is not bad but air rb would have given me way more than that with more than that with 100k+ rp

This sounds like the least fun way to have fun with a game that's supposed to be about having fun

Sim in war thunder is even more pain full than in dcs 😂

This is EXACTLY why I despise War Thunder

My T-2 doesn’t have the bomb load to get 600 score per sortie :(

Mega based?

FIREEEEEE

I did this, and I earned 10,000 rp, but only 3,000 went to research for my next plane, why? Is there any way to avoid this?

Nobody’s talking about it because if Gaijin finds out, they’ll patch it out

Good question howmuch xo would u aćually like get on average around 100k?

i did talk about in the video i made about su25bm grind, but my video's quality is way worse lol

Hmmm I see you know who the flannel daddy is judging by you doing his entire intro on your own video lolol

Isn't 600 SL per 15 minutes like...nothing? That'd be just 57.6k SL per day, which if I recall would be the price of something like what - a BR 2.0-ish vehicle? 🤔

What is points are they the mission score?

This only applies to sim battles?

Had some hope to my free2play grind till he said "premiums and premium time"

Going afk to wait for a mechanic is boring af, ruins it for other players who go to sim for actually enjoying the game

Any 600 point. Even going for ground targets?

They cos'è Danmark map for 11.0+ planes too

2:35 what premium jet did he get? What BR?

>air sim only >premium account >premium jet what did I miss?

While I guess it's nice this works it does sound incredibly boring. I'd rather play the normal way, and actually learn how to fly the planes i'm flying. Will make you a way better pilot once you actually reach those top jets. Also just enjoying where you are instead of always wanting that new thing is the way to go in WT. Will make the game a lot more bearable.

what 3 days.

Key words: premium jet and premium account. Also: French aviation tree isn't that big.

uhm one question can i do this with bi-planes?

>sim you lost me there.

“GARAND thunder

Counterargument - playing sim is a fucking chore

best grinding method while also actually playing the game and having some sort of fun, just win. you get a 120% rp bonus for winning. averaging a moderate amount of kills and winning is going to get you through a tech tree faster than getting a ton of kills and losing all the time. more so for ground rb, not every kill has the same impact on the match outcome, i.e. killing an spaa vs killing an enemy heavy tank. or actually defending caps instead of pusing into the enemy spawn, getting an extra 2 kills and dying and now the enemy takes the cap and wins

ALMOST FUN!!!

garand thumb ahh commentary

Ive been trying to tell the RB kids in sim this for over a year... They come into sim and try to bomb as fast as possible and the slower players cant get bases lolol.. Its just funny to see them get all butthurt trying to get as many as possible lol. Im kicked back chillin watching YT and every 15 get a base then kill a few shitters. I did the Israeli tree in like 2 weeks and France in in 9-10 days... Milan at the time could get whole base tho...

Ok

dcs>

STOP QUOTING GRAND THUMB IN THE INTRO IT HURTS

See i want to do this but just end up being missiled and killed before even making it CLOSE to a base, and it really sucks too since its every time. And way to prevent that?

As efficient as it may be it’s the gayest way to grind I’ve ever heard

Dudes, maybe you will play the game, be interested in different vechicles features: strengths and weaknesses and learn to use them in air combat, where each duel is unique. BUT NO we will jerk off on one premium jet for about 1k battles while bombing bases, afk and grinding instead of PLAYING THE FUCKING GAME - (then they will buy their su27 and f15 and wonder: how can this be, everyone is killing me, this is bias)

Coping old garand thumb intros?

You never ever grind from t1 to last one in 3 days xD NEVER !!!

you lost me at premium jet
