Dear players! We see that you have many questions and observations about how the economy and progression work in War Thunder. Kirill Yudintsev, creative director of Gaiijn, is best suited to explain all of this

Player progression is essential. You can't give a player everything at once, because it will overwhelm and make the game very difficult for them and they will just leave it either immediately or almost immediately. This has been tested by us many times in different ways. When applied to our game, later vehicles are almost always more difficult to learn and play tactically, in the controls and with its capabilities. Progression provides opportunities for gradual learning and engaging the players. Without it, the game will lose players right from the start.

In addition, progression serves as one of the basics of how a game makes money (basically... Read more

Greetings! On behalf of the development team I would like to explain in detail the reasons for the planned changes of the inventory items, such as the activation periods for wagers, orders, and universal backups.

The changes were planned to achieve three main goals: firstly, to increase their value to players and to motivate them to use the items more widely; secondly, to clear the user interface and player inventory from unnecessary and unused items; and thirdly, to decrease the load on the servers that deal with user profiles, since the excessive collecting of unused items leads to a constant increase in required capacity without any benefit or sense.

At the same time, we did have a discussion within W...
