      Don’t forget how op that plane is, I can only really play f4C and maybe harrier due to rewards. Both are not meta because compared to f5c it dogwater. Repair cost is a big factor and despite fact it’s repair is way below tier average it’s premium so it’s like 2x boosted for sl. Best plane at that tier is premium.

    A good thing to consider for future grinding is where you think a plane will be added in the future. I knew that the F-14 would be added to the naval line at some point to I finished that line first.
    It’s also likely that the F-16 will be added after the F-5E so if you want that I would start finishing that line.

    I bought the F-5c a month ago. After about 60 hours worth of grinding with the F-5c spread throughout the last month I managed to get the F-14 on the first of July. I started at the F4U because like you I had neglected the naval tech tree. "Get the F-4e" they said "it is a better dogfighter and has agile eagle" they said. Although I don't regret grinding the Air force tech tree I should have at least gotten the tier IV planes in the naval tree. It was a great journey but I am a bit disappointed in the F-14. The stock grind is hell and I don't think I have the mental strength to get it spaded. Those radar missiles are the bane of my existence. I really love the F-5c now. I can get a few kills on a good game and manage at least one most of the time. It has really helped me learn air to air combat in high tier jets. Looking forward to getting the two F-104s but I need a break from War Thunder. Shame I'd lose about 2-3 days of premium account. I love your videos! Keep up the good work and keep grinding! It is mostly worth it xd.

    3 weeks since I started grinding for F14 from my rank 3 planes to finally about to unlock phantom and soon F14 will start, even more pain coz I am using A10 Early. Hopefully today I'll unlock the phantom

    I noticed you used overleveled vehicles for underleveled ones. On the bottom of every vehicle there is a note ish thing that tells you what ranks that vehicle can research.the way you so it handy caps the amount of rp you get.just for future reference

    There’s a system where if your using a higher/lower vehicle for a vehicle of a different class you’re research points get a certain precent cut
