So i spend 22 hours in beta and i can tell that after level 10 of campaign the progression is just hell. There should be at least some small percentage scaling in exp gains after hitting certain milestones in campaign levels or something. I counted that i will have to play almost 60 hours to get from level 10 to 15. Seems kinda boring for me. I know it’s a somewhat standard Gaijin game but still overall progress i got in war thunder felt much more quicker! And when i think there will be 3 more factions to play and grind, holy hell. Sorry for mistakes i made, english is not my native language.
There are already 4 factions across 2 campaigns.
Yea the grind is kinda long and it worries me a little, because long grind can kill the game even before it is released.
Welcome to the real world. The f2p option is there to hook you in so that hopefully, you will spend money to move through the various levels. No different to WT. The game is not that expensive to mix the two together. Just take your time and enjoy the fight and dying . Join the club.
The game already has a bunch of red flags. The so called “squad system” seems like an excuse to force players to grind multiple weapons/equipment for all their soldiers. Why not make weapons universal and once you unlock them, you can equip them to all your soldiers immediately with limits for some weapons like 1 machinegun or flamethrower per squad. Having to constantly buy multiple weapons/equipment for every soldier is stupid in my opinion.
Also, the premium account option already allows a P2W option aka you have 2 extra active squads for a total of 6 squads you can choose from. This is a huge advantage as premium players can constantly spawn with more limited weapons/tanks than free players can.
Yea the premium squad option is p2w i agree. I get it faster exp i get even eq. system but thats kinda too much. There should be obvious weapon/tank/planes/outfit skins or something.
