Research Bonuses For New Nations Now Released For Testing
Internal employees at Gaijin, including Game Designers, QA, programmers and Community Managers have had this new feature enabled on their accounts for over a week now, testing its capabilities and reporting issues. Were now ready to roll-out this new feature to everybody for a 7-day testing period. Be sure to read below exactly how this feature works.
Afterwards, well evaluate the earnings, take a look, make changes if needed and release it fully, permanently shortly after.
Each nation and each vehicle tree per nation (Army, Helicopters, Aviation, Bluewater fleet, and Coastal fleet) will each have research bonuses for 3 battles if you have a top vehicle researched and purchased in a tree. In each tree there are vehicles that are considered top. Once youve researched and purchased these vehicles, youll receive research bonuses for other nations that you dont have any top vehicles for yet. The size of the research bonus depends on the rank of the vehicle being researched and will apply to the first 3 battles each day.
Above, weve mentioned top vehicles. But what counts as a top vehicle? A top vehicle is: [olist] A vehicle that is in the research tree. The following do not count: premium and squadron vehicles, a locked vehicle (such as an event vehicle), store pack vehicles, and hidden or vehicles on the Market.
A vehicle that is last in its line in the research tree. If the last in the line is in a group, then the first vehicle in the group is considered the top one.
A vehicle where the maximum Battle Rating of the vehicle among all modes is no more than 2 steps lower than the maximum Battle Rating of the vehicle in this research tree (in the tree type in a nation).
A vehicle that is located at the maximum rank in the research tree.
[/olist]
You can easily identify the top vehicle by looking in the tree its connected by an arrow to the new Research Bonus Block at the bottom. If the arrow from the top vehicle to the new Research Bonus Block in a research tree is not red, this indicates that research bonuses have been unlocked for a particular nations tree.
For example, if you have the M1A2 SEP V2 researched and purchased in the USA Army tree, which is the final vehicle at rank VIII in this tree: you now have access to research bonuses for any nation that you dont yet have a top vehicle unlocked for in their respective Army tree. This now means you can research, lets say, the Strv 81 thats at rank V in the Swedish Army tree with a 50% research bonus (this number is for rank V Army) to the base research gained for 3 battles per day. You can also research any other Army tree that you dont have top vehicle researched and unlocked yet for any nation for 3 battles as well. Since you have the M1A2 SEP V2 which is considered a top vehicle, youll not get any research bonuses towards the USAs Army tree, even if youre still researching a vehicle in this tree. This is because this new feature is catered towards research bonuses for other nations where you may not have any or many vehicles unlocked. Adding to the above, lets also say that you have a top aircraft in Great Britain researched and purchased, for example the Sea Harrier FA 2. You now have research bonuses for any nations Aviation tree where you dont yet have a top aircraft researched and purchased.
To see which nations you have research bonuses for, hover over this new block section in each of the Army, Aviation, Helicopters, Bluewater / Coastal fleet trees. In the below example, this account has research bonuses for the Army trees in Germany, Japan, China, Italy, France, Sweden and Israel. On this account, 2 battles have already been played for Germany, which is why theres 1 left. For the other nations, theres still 3 battles that can be played with research bonuses.
On this same account, for the Aviation portion, this account has 3 research bonus battles for the USA, Germany, USSR, Japan, China, Italy, France, Sweden, and Israel.
A daily bonus research icon is also shown on each nation and can be hovered over to see which vehicles are receiving bonus research.
Bonus Research Points are catered towards the mid to higher ranks, where the amount of research points required to unlock a vehicle is higher. This means that ranks I, II and III will not have any research bonuses. These are the following bonus numbers:
Table of research bonus numbers for each tree type and rank This information can be seen by hovering over the new research icon on a vehicle that youre researching. This icon will only appear on a vehicle that youre currently researching in a tree that is receiving research bonuses.
Once youve played the 3 research bonus battles for a nation and vehicle type tree, the reset happens at 00:00 GMT everyday (the time shown in-game is specific based on your local time). The bonus amount is calculated on the base Research Points gained in a battle, the same as how Skill Bonuses work. For Enduring Confrontation (EC), every 30 minutes spent in one battle will count as an additional battle, similarly to how Boosters work. However, unlike Boosters, the length of the battle only determines how many bonus battles you spend in it. It doesnt affect the bonus size, as it is always calculated as a percentage of the whole base RP. So, for example for a 3-hour long EC session your reward would be increased for the same percentage as a usual battle, even though you have spent your bonus battles before the end of EC session.
Research Bonuses work in any random battles game mode, and will be applied if a vehicle of this kind was used in it. For example, the bonus for aircraft will also be added to the base reward acquired with aircraft in Ground and Naval Battles, not just in Air Battles. If you played a battle and received 0 mission points and 0 base RP with a respective vehicle, for example a helicopter in Ground Realistic Battles where the battle ended and you had no time to do anything, you will not receive any research bonus to helicopters. The research bonus battle for helicopters is also not spent, so youll not waste 1 of the 3 research bonus battles for helicopters in a nation. So, youve played a battle and got research bonuses for a nation you havent researched much of yet. Nice! The bonus you receive is shown in the My results screen under New nation research bonus as well as in the Battles section in the messages area.
As mentioned above, you can log into the game now and try out everything that weve explained above. Give it a go!
[expand type=details] Here are some real-life like scenarios and answers. Please feel free to ask any questions that you have. Q: I only play German ground vehicles and have a rank VIII ground vehicle unlocked, the Leopard 2A7V. But for Great Britain I have nothing in ground, Im starting from rank I and would like to try them. Will I have any bonuses? A: Yes, but not for rank I, II or III. At these ranks, the daily bonus symbol will be on the vehicle youre researching, but will instead say +0%. When you start researching a rank IV vehicle in Great Britain, youll get +25% bonus, and the respective amounts for each rank (as mentioned above) going up. Q: I only play one nation, the USSR. I have a max rank vehicle unlocked and purchased in Aviation, Army and Helicopters for this nation, but have nothing unlocked in any other nation. How many bonuses will I get? A: For the other 9 nations, youll have 3 battles where youll have bonus research points when researching them at rank IV or higher. For example, 3 for USA Aviation, 3 for USA Army, and 3 for USA Helicopters and so on, and the exactly same for each of the other nations too. Q: I only play the USA, and I have every single plane in the USA tree researched and purchased, but only up to rank IV for their ground tree. Will I get bonuses for the ground tree? A: No. Bonuses only apply to their respective vehicle type trees. Since you have rank VIII USA aviation unlocked, youll get bonuses starting from rank IV in all other nations aviation trees if you dont have a top aircraft unlocked for them yet; not ground. Q: If I dont plan to play with a vehicle from a nation that has a research bonus available, can I disable the display of the bonus icons? A: Yes. You can toggle the display of the bonus icon in the research branch using the Show remaining bonus in headers option.
Q: If a new top vehicle is added to the tree, will I be able to research it using the bonus? If I got a top vehicle in a tree, will I never be able to get a bonus? A: The bonus status will be updated when new vehicles are introduced. You can either lose it or get it. If you have a top vehicle for only one nation, and this nation gets a new top vehicle right after the one you have, then your bonus will be lost until you acquire the new vehicle. If you have a bonus from several nations, and a new top vehicle is added to one of the trees right after the only top vehicle you have there, then this tree will receive the bonus again. [/expand]

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.

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.
