Responding to your questions and comments (Economy changes)
We have noticed that there is a lack of understanding of the principles of the vehicle rank based economy, such as the differences from the previous system and the benefits achieved. First of all, we would like to note that in the vehicle rank based economy, the same prices and reward multipliers are not set for different vehicles of the same rank, as these are not target parameters, but calculated parameters. These calculated parameters still use some statistical values for calculations. The target parameters in the economy (old and new) are earnings per unit time (from which the reward multiplier will be calculated) and profit/loss per unit time (from which the repair cost will be calculated). Since both targets are given to a unit of time - it becomes clear that to calculate the repair cost and reward multiplier, statistical indicators related to time and actions are used: the average time of a vehicle's life and base reward per unit of time. The goal of the vehicle rank based economy is to bring the values of the target parameters of a vehicle of the same rank to the same value, and this is accomplished by changing the repair cost and reward multiplier and not vice versa. In the old economy, which was based on vehicle efficiency target values, vehicle statistics were determined based on their efficiency ratio - the ratio of the total base reward of a vehicle to the number of deaths in it. This led to an extremely high repair cost for a number of vehicles. For example, in January 2022, the maximum repair costs of the B-29 and Tu-4 in RB were around 48k and 39k SL and after the current changes, they will drop to 11.5k and 13k SL respectively. The maximum repair cost of the T95 in AB during the same time dropped from 24.7k to 9.2k SL. The same applies to other effective vehicles within the medium ranks: G.56, Sagittario 2, Maus, WZ305, Tiger II (H) etc. In the table sheet of economy changes, we can clearly see a tendency to decrease repair prices for almost all vehicles of ranks III-V in all game modes (the cells with a decrease in the average repair prices for vehicles of a given nation at a given rank are marked in green).

Repair costs and reward multipliers for Premium vehicles change in economic updates by the same principles as researchable vehicles, i.e. all parameters are adjusted to achieve the preset expenses and income per unit of time. The reward multiplier might both increase, in order to increase the income per time to the required level; or decrease, if the vehicles income is higher than needed. For example, in the upcoming update, the reward multiplier in RB for the Kfir Canard, F-4EJ ADTW, as well as the Kfir C.2 and F-4EJ (reference vehicles), will be decreased. Since the last economic update (statistics update), the gameplay circumstances for the mentioned aircraft have changed for the better, which has led to an increase in the base reward per unit of time. Accordingly, with the new data (statistics) update in the upcoming economy update, changing the reward multiplier will adjust earnings to the required level. This works both ways, for example the multiplier in RB mode will be increased for the J-7D, F-104S TAF, MiG-23ML, MiG-21 Lazur and other aircraft. At the same time, Premium vehicles will always have a specified income higher than researchable vehicles and a reduced repair cost, which sets a positive average balance for these vehicles. Premium vehicles of high ranks both have an increased reward and are profitable, unlike researchable vehicles.
Q: Why are the repair costs for helicopters in AB going up? A: At the moment, the main arcade mode for helicopters are the PvE missions in the Enduring Confrontation mode which are characterized by weak AI countermeasures and long vehicle lifetimes. This leads to a fairly stable earning of SL and infrequent spending on respawns. To ensure a given level of costs per unit of time, an appropriate repair price is set. Q: Why do identical aircraft (Tornado IDS Marineflieger and Tornado IDS (1995)) have different repair costs in Realistic Battles? A: The reason is that in reality, these aircraft are not the same. The German Tornado doesnt have guided weapons and is mainly used in air battles as a strike aircraft to destroy bases. The Italian Tornado has guided weapons and is widely used in ground battles in which the lifetime is significantly lower. To ensure the necessary average spending per unit of time for each of these vehicles, the corresponding repair cost is calculated for them. Q: Why will the PTL02 be moved to a more appropriate rank but the M46 Tiger and PT-76-57 will not? A: Researchable vehicles can, if necessary, move more freely between ranks if their parameters change. In the case of premium (including event) vehicles, you initially receive a vehicle for effective research of vehicles of all previous and one subsequent rank for a predetermined price (in GE, GJN or time spent). As a rule, we don't plan to expand or narrow the scope of effective research of researchable vehicles on premium vehicles that have already been purchased for a specific price.

War Thunder is a free-to-play, cross-platform MMO combat game for Windows, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 dedicated to military vehicles used in and around World War II and the Korean War. In War Thunder, you can take part in major battles on land, in the air, and at sea, fighting with real players from all over the world in a continuously developing environment.
War Thunder already offers a highly detailed experience in military aviation and ground forces combat, giving players access to a Guinness World Record breaking number of aircraft, as well as an abundance of tanks and other combat vehicles - and the number is constantly rising.
You can feel the unmatched intensity of aerial dogfights in a fighter, the decisive power of commanding a heavy strategic bomber or the heat of battle in a ground attacker, delivering precision strikes against your enemies. Alternatively, you can join the spearhead of armoured vehicles, fighting for dominance over the battlefield on the ground: Man a heavy tank with impressive armour and firepower, use the maneuverability of a medium or light tank to your advantage, or support your team by screening the skies with your anti aircraft vehicle - the choice is yours!
In the future, the game will also allow players to ‘set sail’ by commanding a variety of warships in the fight over the control of the world’s oceans, giving the game a truly epic scale.
Master your vehicles through both upgrades and personal experience in an environment that is constantly expanding and rewarding the personal skill of the player. Organise your efforts in one of the countless player squadrons and become an ace pilot or tanker - or both! Our thriving and welcoming community of millions of players is also actively participating in the game’s ongoing development, offering custom content through War Thunder Live, such as skins, missions and even vehicles.
War Thunder has something for everyone. Play cooperative games with your friends on Windows PC, Linux, Mac or PlayStation 4 against AI, or squad up for a PvP battle in a difficulty setting matching your play style, ranging from Arcade to Simulator using Mouse and Keyboard, Gamepad or Joystick.
