Gaijin's 'Repair Costs' In Sim Make Me Exceedingly Angry

Its really quite simple, you just implement repair costs in War Thunder sim like EVERY OTHER god damn game mode. C'mon Gaijin, its not that difficult. I appreciate that the game is free to play, and there needs to be some earning limitations in place, but what we have in Sim is completely intolerable, and not at all in line with the requirements and costs PER HOUR of the other game modes.

Gaijin have said that they want to make earnings/progression in all game modes equal - WELL WHY DONT YOU DO IT.

End rant.

Knowing gaijin, they will fix this problem by removing silver lion repair cost and introducing golden eagle repair cost

[shmallkine]

Honestly, if rep costs weren’t a thing, this game would be almost perfect to me

Meme of the year:

68k spawn cost spaded - 44k stock
*3 0 % S i l v e r l i o n m o d i f i e r*

Yes, even a RESERVE biplane has more chance of making money than the top of the line jet in japan. Stellar job as always Gaijin.

The entire game mode of Enduring Confrontation is just a fucking dumpster fire

[stockard]

Not to mention that spotting is just broken now since dots are now barely visible smudges

You think that's bad the Shackleton costs 54k to spawn in... I played a game where I killed 5 enemy planes, bombed two bases and killed 8 tanks without dying (returned to the af and left the match). That game gave me -2K SL - I didn't even break even...

[shoeby]

What doesn't make sense to me is that Gaijin continuously adds to repair costs when they can just change the modifier for the vehicle so it doesn't earn as much. I don't think the pay up front spawning is necessarily bad, but when paired with some ridiculous high risk high reward mechanic like repair costs and modifiers, it just becomes a chore and not a game. I don't want to have to worry about how meta my efficiency is when I could be pushing myself into that next low fuel dogfight that helps me get better as a player.

It's almost like gaijin only ever cares about their earnings from arcade and arcade-"realistic" tank players.

[Croznate]

Sorry, Gaijin did not let me tell them why I'm waiting for sim to work again. I got the message:
"Sorry, there is a problem

I feel the easiest way to fix this is to keep the spawn cost but refund the cost if you land and repair then j out or whatever

[b_n_z]

best economy is no eceonomy.. I've been playing IL-2GB lately and i've been loving it

[mrwheatley]

the repair cost/spawn costs of most jets is the entire reason i haven't even tried sim with top tier jets

[TrashFixation]

7:40 It won't get shot down in AFK/alt farming lobbies, which all our earnings and costs are balanced around now. It's the intended way to play since they balance the entire game around it, obviously. /sarcasm... Their statistics probably say the EC3 Swedish planes have a 2, 000:1 KDR and see nothing wrong with that figure. Kinda like how the F-4C/E earned 3 mil SL in an EC match because of the rocket bug they refused to fix for years. Thus, the infamous "dur hur you're lucky it's not 700k SL to spawn like spreadsheet says it should!".

I find it funny that Gaijin doesn't really mess with the RP gains, which is what the gold farmers and ABusers are here for. If anything, THAT'S what the "useful actions" garbage should have affected (I'm glad it hasn't, though). There's a complete disconnect between them and their game.

edit: They even REMOVED THE BOTS from player-made games! The last wrench in the farming machine is out.

[afsarkhan]

It's not just sim in all game modes the repair cost leads to negative earnings

[gstgamerinlive]

Actually i love sim but...after the changes i don't know how to feel about in this moment...in every Match, i kill....maybe three, and i got down 2 times, thats enough to loose more than i

[whitelazer]

right now with this spawn cost bullshit, an operation mode is a blessing

[chrisp]

The entire grind in the game past tier 4/5, and the SL costs throughout most of it, are a complete joke.

[somerandomguy___]

And as the classic Gaijin saying goes : "and then it got worse"

Though honestly why does this even have to exist? Why does SL in general even need to exist? the game would be just as if not more playble without having to worry about SL and can just grind RP at your own pace

Edit : nvm the answer to my qustion is obviusly money

[sirdvy]

Hard to believe that people play those high spawn cost planes, and so the repair won't go down, I mean, i never saw SIM spawn costs go down anyway.

[i_termx_i]

Just want to relax after a long day of work and enjoy some Sim immersion with any aircraft that I desire to fly. Dealing with this stupid spawn cost system is not fun, but stressful. Let alone going full sweaty mode in order to keep activity up every 15 minutes to just cover some of the costs. And that's IF the other team don't bail early, causing the game to end prematurely where you get nothing to cover your spawn costs.

It's so f*#&ing annoying!
