The Roadmap to War Thunder's Economy
Finally, the wait is over! After a long time, there is concrete information about the plans to overhaul the War Thunder economy. The developers have presented their action plan to improve the current state of the game in terms of Silver Lions (SL) and Research Points (RP). The planned changes are divided into two main areas and will be implemented gradually throughout the year 2023.
Two Main Areas of Changes
The developers are focusing on balancing SL earnings and expenditures as well as the RP-based progression system. Various new economic models will be tested to ensure a fair monetization system and an engaging player experience. Here are some of the key planned changes:
Improvement of Silver Lions Balance
The amount of SL earned per battle will be increased while the cost of repairing destroyed vehicles will be reduced. This will help players spend more SL on upgrades and new vehicles without feeling constantly broke.
Revision of Teamkill Penalties
If a vehicle is destroyed by an ally, no repair costs will be incurred. In addition, an apology mechanism will be introduced to promote teamwork in War Thunder and mitigate unpleasant situations.
Improvement of Rewards for Capturing Points
Players who help capture a point will be rewarded in the future - regardless of whether they survived until the end of the battle or not. This will encourage players to focus more on teamwork and common goals.
More Detailed Combat Log
The combat log will be revised and will show exactly which actions make up the entire SL and RP reward. This will allow players to better assess their performance and understand how they can improve their earnings.
Simplification of Research Tree Structure and Reduction of RP Costs
More vehicles will be grouped together in folders and their research costs will be reduced by 50%. This will allow players to progress faster in the War Thunder tech tree and try out more vehicles.
In summary, the planned changes to the War Thunder economy sound promising. Players can look forward to an improved balance of SL, RP, and teamwork. We are excited to see how these changes will develop throughout 2023. Until then, keep an eye out for more news and updates on War Thunder!
