@Lion-Face I used to exclusively play Air RB. Whenever I had time, which was, and still is, kinda rare nowadays. Managed to get up to the Yak-9T on the Russian tech tree; the fighter before the FW-190 family on the Germans; the OS2U on the American tree and I haven't touched the others. I used to have the G.55 unlocked but something happened where it lost my progress - I guess it reverted back to the previous save on record on the servers - so I'm back to ground zero on the Italians.
I just grew tired of the unbalanced tier system for Air RB. I put a few modifications on my Yak-1B and I'm facing mk. V Spitfires
However Tank RB is more rewarding, I feel. Plus I'm accelerating down the tech tree a lot quicker than in Air RB. I've been playing it properly for about three or four hours for the past two days and I'm already at the KV-1. Almost fully researched it. I think I need a few hundred research points and I can buy it.
I don't know why but I really like the Russian tech tree. Love my I-16 Type 27 with 6 mini "Ivans" if we can even call them that
They do 🤬 all but I still like need practice.
Also agree on the strategy aspect with higher tiers. But like Air RB I would get uptiered pretty hard. Have faced my fair share of Stugs in my poor derpy T-50.
What I love about lower tier is the new players that either take the default ammo count or take the max ammo they can. Only to get ammo racked by me in my little T-26 Either get ammo racked and explode instantly or I keep setting them on fire. Which is, I gotta say, the worst way to go out in War Thunder. Whether it is Tank RB or Air RB, fires are the most discouraging thing to happen to a player. You just sit there and watch..
EDIT
Just got the KV-1
