    I am a 2000 hour ftp player and I don’t try to grind anymore, I just play the tanks I want to play and accidentally unlock vehicles. I think it’s the best way to go through this game as a ftp as it’s way less rage inducing, and because I only play the vehicles I want to play I often have ridicules stats on some tanks, like 700 kills on the sturm tiger. Edit: it is possible to fully do a tech tree as free to play as I got nearly all German tanks/planes.

Very good that you enjoy playing like that. But this game is a huge moneygraber for all people who are not so self controlled. "Normal" games cost around 60$ - in warthunder you get a vehicle for that money.

    The M4A1 being infront of the M4 in the tech tree isn't necessarily chronologically inaccurate as the 'A1' part doesn't denote an upgrade to the tank. The designations are more to do with where that tank was made and which engine it used/was it a cast or welded hull. Most of the variants of the Sherman started production at similar times and were all produced (by different people) all the way through to the end of the war :)

    The free low-tier premium vehicle is not a new addition, it's been a feature for a while now, at least 4 years. Still, it's definitely needed. Who knows where you'd be in your 24hrs without it. You were able to research tier I and almost all of II in 24 hrs, which is impressive. That would seem promising for new players, but you have to consider that vehicles get exponentially more expensive by tier, both in terms of SL and RP. There are also more vehicles to research per tier. How long would you need to research all of tier III, let alone tiers IV, V, VI, VII? I know you're limited in time, but to truly evaluate the grind (and if it has improved) one would need to spend much more than that, as it slows down massively past tier II. Still, 24hrs is a substantial dedication for a video, and much appreciated! Another factor is experience. You may have had a fresh start in material terms, meaning no SL, RP, Vehicles, Crew skills, etc., but one thing you can't wipe is your knowledge of the game. War Thunder is all about knowledge: vehicles and their weakspots, ammunition types, ballistics, maps and points of interest, how to spend your money and time, and much more. I'm not sure how "seriously" you played during this time, but with all of these advantages I'm sure you did very well, and much better than a beginner. All of this is meant in the kindest way possible, and I thank you for taking the time to make this video. Still, I'm sure there's people out there interested in seeing how a truly new player would do in the same time, with guidance or without. Possible idea for a video, if you have the time or candidates for it? Cheers!

    I appreciate the feedback! And you're absolutely right. The grind definitely slows down after rank II but it also isn't as likely that players would reach that far on their first day. But the point you made about experience is definitely very strong. Someone with no knowledge at all of tanks or war thunder would have a much harder time progressing. I'll probably explore the grind issue more as war thunder makes more changes to the economy so I might have a look at your suggestion later down the line too

    There's a few reasons why the M4A1 comes before the M4 in the tech tree and one of it was pretty shocking. The M4A1 used a cast hull and turret technique whereas the M4 Sherman uses a welded technique with different plates. During combat situations, crews and observers be it friend or foe soon found out that the welded tanks were better as when getting shot at, it just punches a hole thru the tank mostly with AP shells whereas with the M4A1 with it's casted shell would often just disintegrate upon getting hit and it doesn't cause just simple spalling but just straight up massive hull breaks if the molded process was fucked. Not only that, with casted tanks, if they wanna add more armour, it's way harder with the shape the tank look like whereas with the "normal" welded tanks, it's easier to slap extra bolt-on armour on the tank as the tanks are mostly slab-sided which makes bolting additionals on it way easier.

    as an old school pre tank player, you could accidentally knock out your loader by backing into a building. They just removed that aspect for balance since it was "unfun" compared to watching your lone tank driver try and drive whilst reloading a giant cannon shell and operating a turret.

    I dont play a lot of other NP games but I do just fine in my F2P vehicles in this game. I've since made a few lineups including paid tanks and got absolutely rekt. Paying for tanks is more of a style thing as you can get some unique vehicles not available in main unlock tree, but they're not OP. You can die just as easy in them and you can absolutely dominate using a free tank. All premes really do is give a reasonable bonus to in game currencey earnings and save you a few matches worth of grinding modules. Hope you enjoyed your time with the game

    I kind of did it for the video to show that the first matches the game gives you are really easy compared to the real game. But what you're saying is pretty true. I think it's mostly because the way the game is played at lower BRs is quite a bit different and it's also easy to become dependent on all the tech that you have at the higher BRs. But that's just my guess.

    I've been playing free for years. It's not a problem. Do not try to run too many crews, just makes it longer to spade any. I ran 3 and didn't add another until I got those full. Use the crap out of boosters. Log in near the end of a "day", get a booster. Tank and plane assault, two more boosters, log out and back in when the day resets...for me it's around 6-630 pm. 4 boosters for an evening of playing...or 6 if you do the assaults again. Do the same thing a couple of days later.
