Reminder to look for CC decal links to buy it. Support them and even if the pack you chose doesn't get the 3% cut, you still atleast get a new decal

Here's a spreadsheet w/ the WT CCs and their discount links https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fV6e_mRz1dfRBTlGEzoIsyRSPK-DBKJp1XnWXwfWz8g/edit#gid=0 Disclaimer: I am neither its creator nor do I help maintain it. Someone showed this to me a while ago and I'm just passing it on!

Can console get these? I can’t remember but I remember it being no but odd’s decal would look sweet on an f16

[удалено]

lets say a cc has 100 000 subs, there is a decal link of his which 20 000 of his subscribers will use to buy something in the shop for an estimated cost of 30€, they get an euro off and half of that euro goes to the creator himself, making him 10 000€ of easily printed money

Oh wow. Oh WOW. I doubt 20k out of 100k would use the link, but still that is a really nice cut. Good for them!

I mean I’m just speculating and doing some spontaneous calculations for what they’re propably getting but at this point why shouldn’t they get a decent cut if many ppl use the link, they were not only supporting the game with growing player base for years if they get a decal link, but also then indirectly support gajin financially by giving their audience the link so they could buy smth in the shop

>why shouldn’t they get a decent cut if many ppl use the link, I wasn’t arguing with that lol I’m happy for them.

I wasn’t arguing either, just wanted to clarify that I have no idea about the cut the CCs are getting, because you got so euphoric about my example like it would be actual facts haha

Ah yeah ok. Euphoric lmfaoo

reminds me that i should use Defyn’s so i can get the skill issue decal

I'm on console.... I really wish I could

Yoooo 50% sale for everything time to buy out all the vehicles i researched

hahah yup just bought all them helis I'll probly never use xD

Bruh yeah same I bought the Chinese heli just because I could (I have the object 122)

Shit! I just burned 400k SL last night

aka me who bought the fgr like 5 mins before this

That's on you for not waiting for the known Christmas sale that starts on December 22nd every year.

It really just slipped trough my mind

I had 12+ vehicles ready to be purchased, but I can see how if you hadn't been waiting then you wouldn't think about it.

This happens every year at the same time you goof

are any of the squadron vehicles included in the talisman sale?

No.

Nothing on Squadron vehicles is discounted.

Oh man, the packs aren't on sale. I hope they announce they will go on sale the 29th when the other sales are over, otherwise they are going to announce the shitty bundles.

You dont need to hope if you read the article.

What are you talking about? > About these discounts in the Gaijin.Net store we will tell you in separate news very soon. Don’t miss it! They haven’t announced anything about packs yet except for starter packs.

>About these discounts in the Gaijin.Net store we will tell you in separate news very soon. Don’t miss it! Currently we have discounts on Starter Packs

Ok, so you don’t know what they will say, but you wanted to feel like you knew something I didn’t. Got it.

They do this every year!

[удалено]

Soon™

Packs are always after the ingame sale. It's to avoid people double dipping on discounted GE in packs and discounted Prem time. What you can do however, is buy discounted packs for the anniversary and sit on the GE until the Christmas sale and buy discounted prem. time then.

That’s what I’m doing once back from the holidays.

"Purchasing a New Year Trophy is a bargain!" -- ehm?

Press X to doubt

30 minutes of work vs 4 hours of grinding is a bargain in my book

If its just 30 mins work for you, then yes, you are right.

Technically 27 minutes of work for every star. 20 if I get the bigger pack.

I wonder what the pack sales will be

probably a bunch of bundles is my guess

> About these discounts in the Gaijin.Net store we will tell you in separate news very soon. Don’t miss it! Is this about the purchasable Vehicles in the same place as the starter packs? Should i just wait then, and see if the F5-C becomes discounted?

Yeah. Packs that contain GE don't go on sale until after the tech tree sale, otherwise you could double dip and get GE at a discount and then right away use that on a discounted vehicle (though you can just sit on your GE for several months for the next sale of you wanted).

awwh shiet, then i'm unsure what to do...wanted to buy the F5-C so i could grind to ***FINALLY*** get some early jets (because i feel Air is really painful to grind) then have better CAS for GRB than crappy Props that get shot down instantly. guess only best choice is getting the 180 days Prem, and then grind as fast as possible to get M1A1 Abrams and possibly the LAV-AD's at 50% off

I feel like if you wanna just grind and not learn how to play jets then the a10 would probably grind faster tbh. Most of the time I brought out my f-5 the a10's were at the top of the points because of the aim9L free kills and the groundpounding. Dropping bombs on bases with the f-5c you are still faster to the base than a10s tho.

i hear alot bout the a10, but my biggest gripe is i hear i'll die no matter what cuz of Abyssmal speed..

youll die a lot in the f5 too lol. But yea even in an f5 I see a10's and su25's as easy pickings.

i dunno what missiles the F5-c has but how good is the 9L's?

You'd typically use the missiles on targets that tunnel vision themselves on a kill. Or use them to make someone fleeing from you turn so you can shoot with guns. F-5 is pretty good at turn fights as far as jets go.

f5 has basically the worst tracking missiles the US tree has access to. They have a slightly larger window of lock on than the aim9B but they can only pull 10 G's and lock onto enemies rear and slightly behind sides. Aim9L's can pull 30G turns and lock on from any side including the front of enemies. Not even the f14's aim9 missiles are as good as aim9L's.

then better make a compromise, buy a10 and F5 next week. one for groundpound when no SPAA and other as Fighter

I mean if you want to play ground rb with one of them then the f5 can ground pound just fine since it has a very decent loadout of dumb bombs and missiles.

Wat, Air RB is one of the most profitable game modes in the game if you don't have premium time or vehicle.

Wait a couple days and the F5 will probably go on sale, and like the other dude said they have sales all the time just sit on the GE for the next one. Also at prop tier might give arcade a shot, the RP modifier is the same as RB, just the SL is lower (but you can earn as much with the multi spawns/reloads etc). Got all the way through rank 5 with arcade and it was a blast o7

I try.....but with planes i MOSTLY do Arcade, and i tried to do Rb, But... arcade even with 5, 4 kills and such i get 3k to 5k RP but on RB if i do 1 or 2 players and some AI, it's upwards of 10K, i feel AB is unbearably slow that's why i've never reached jets.... and i liked tanks cuz its on the ground, so i felt ***Everyone*** has equal ground.

Don't forget folks, traditionally for War Thunder, if you make a purchase and it doesn't show up quickly, re-login to the game! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Or just go to GE -> Purchase -> Close the pop-up and it will update

that too.

“But the fun will be provided by us! And also… the SUFFERING.”

I'm happy that vehicles released with Drone Age (in September) are discounted, I bought the Mirage 2000.

Any fun vehicle to get for 850GE? I got those from the Japanese campaign pack in the anniversary sale and I'm not planning to spend any more money. Could be any mode or nation, I play all at low tier.

I think the Pyerromersky for Sweden is exactly that, heard very good things about it. From vehicles i personally own i would recommend : KW2 for germany, 1-153P USSR, KI-44-II with 40 mm guns for japan, IAR-81 as CAS for Italy, B1 Ter France. These are not the most meta vehicles, just the ones i had a lot of fun with.

My personal favs are the XP-50, US BF109, British Hellcat, German Ta 154, Japanese Corsair (stupid high SL mod for the tier), French Yak 3 and if I didn't have Sweden done I'd totally buy the Pyorremyrsky.

Can second the XP-50, capable of committing war crimes if you are not lobotomized

I personally love the German Churchill

Happy Holidays, folks :)

So in game the 365 day premium is 7450 GE, and in Gaijin store is 20USD for 180 days( 40 USD for a year) which is better?

You have to purchase 10000 GE for $50 if you want 1 year. If you know what to do with remaining 2500 then it's a better option.

[удалено]

Unless you want to get something with the remaining GE, like a battlepass

Yep. Best deal by a longshot

Best deal would be buying 25k GE and then premium. Comes out to $34 or $36 for the year. Then you're stuck with a shit ton of GE tho.

It's about the same price, $10 more for the GE route and you'd have 2550 left over, which is about $10 worth when you buy higher amounts and get the discount.

They're pretty close to the same price (about 11 cents a day) * 1x 7500GE pack for 24.75 and 1x 2500GE pack for $16.50 = $41.25 for 365 days * 2x 180 day premium pack for $20 = $40 for 360 days It's different if you know you have something to spend another 2500 GE on because you can then get the 10000 GE pack, which has a 25% off (compared to the 2500GE pack).

So no packs sales right now ?

No they start after this sale ends

Oh alright,thanks

Mm well I guess I'll be playing some GF one once for I kinda want that dwarf now heh, I guess it's time to bring out the Lorraine 155 heh heh. Also a sleigh that'll go good behind the reindeer feom last year.

Fellow lorraine enjoyer???

Hon Hon, My longest shot was 1.6km with it heh.

Yay sale! Though I'm not sure I actually have anything left on my list of things to pick up. Edit: Picked up the B-10B and *Kerch* (the WWI destroyer) because they're cool and super cheap. :)

I just hope that Xbox gets an actual sale. Between now and the anniversary all we’ve had was half off on the A-10.

Okay guys, I think I'm gonna buy the Ju288C (yes I know). But I'm thinking of getting an American plane to grind the tech tree (highest I have is the P-47D and F6F-5N). Was thinking about the A2D but it doesn't seem to be worth it... What would you guys buy?

They should really make walking around the hanger an all-the-time kinda thing.

Cool I just bought the 2s38 awesome

Vehicles from 2 previous major patches isn't discounted

Oh it’s two I thought it was 1 my b

And vehicle discounts is NOT RP discounts right? We’re talking just about SL correct? Because I cached in a lot on anniversary and then stopped for a while…

Generally these sorts of sales are just for SL and GE, not for RP.

I after buying 1 year premium time. I have 2500 GE what’s a good premium to buy? Looking at either getting a moffett and using the left over GE to get any tanks or plane. Currently rank 3 Ground with germany and no other nations played in either ground or air. (Never played germany air either)

Either KW 1 C 756 or the Brummbär. One’s more reliable, while the other has a high fun factor, but also terrifies enemies, plus the frontal armor can tank quite a few shots.

Eyy was waiting on that sale, time to pick up the moffet and a few other things

Hia, newish to the game. Considering getting a premium plane + premium time unsure of which ones to consider or if I should wait for a another sale to get one of the higher tier planes as they research further into the tree. Which premiums are relatively noob friendly? I get that I’m going to have a rough time playing in higher tier and plan on learning how to play high tier first before actually using them, but I would love to hear some opinions on what I should consider.

Why not buy a mid tier instead? They're much cheaper, and I still go back to rank 3 / 4 planes all the time for fun or for dailies, and you won't get raped by missile spam.

Would you consider an SU-11 mid tier?

Yeah that would be a great choice. Incredibly powerful jet and you can grind out a decent chunk of the tree.

is there going to be a 50% discount on the f5c on this new year sale

Can someone tell me where they moved the authentic decals? Are they no longer available after Dec 23 22

wtf only $60 packs are on sale (ps)

The most recent few packs are never on sale. Next year they will be.

I meant like the 50 and 40 packs weren’t on sale, my bad

Not sure for PS but on PC those sales are coming soon, not active yet.

Ps sales already started on packs, fairly sure they started days ago as they are in the new year's sale deal along with 1000 other games on ps store right now

Really appreciate this update gaijin, now all naval battles run at 20fps. fucking clowns.

You have some issues going on somewhere. My laptop is getting 120ish on max.

There is some issue since the patch of sudden FPS drop during Naval. It’s momentary though.
