^Why I'm not bothering going past level 10. For Russians I keep to level 2-3 and Germans 4-5.
I think you took the wrong approach with this game by buying way too much. I bought one pack, got some gold got a plane with it and I haven't had any issues with "the economy" in the game. There's plenty of entertainment here for those who play for free.
Unless you actually enjoy getting the best items in the games.
To me, I enjoy getting those awesome planes, I always wanted to fly when I was a kid.
But getting them, then not being able to fly them is not fun.
It's like getting to the last level, to realize you just can't beat the game.
Kind of a let down.
Has nothing to do with buying anything.
If you start playing with rank 20 planes you'll see what I mean.
You really won't know what I am talking about until you do.
Gets even worse in historic.
Fly a historic round in a jet or a heavy bomber.
That 50k repair bill turns into a 100k repair bill.
I have 1 million lions then all of a sudden I am totally broke..
Those lions took me weeks to earn, but only one hour to loose..
The game shafts people who like to play in high tier planes though.
It shafts the "end game" player base.
Kind of a slap in the face after all the time and money I invested.
They never told us "Oh hey btw we are going to triple the economy costs".
One day they just did it..
That gives me no sense of security in what I buy and how I play.
Well, as long as you enjoy it, that's all that matters.
Just stating my experience.
Hope u all enjoy but for me the game is a dead end, unless Gaijin fixes it.
