Research and purchase requirements reduced for rank 3-5 ground vehicles
As we promised previously, we are reducing the RP requirements as well as the prices in SL for vehicles, modifications, repairs and ammo in ground vehicles of ranks 3-5!
As we introduced rank 6 armoured vehicles, we had to rework research progress for the earlier ranks. Initially War Thunder was originally planned to have only 5 ranks, so research progress and game economy was designed in such a way that players would not reach top tier machines too quickly, so that they would understand all the mechanics of battle and unlock rank 5 as an experienced commander. But additionally, the progress shouldn’t take too long either - otherwise the game would be boring.
After the introduction of rank 6 we had to rework the existing system. Firstly we made progress from rank 5 to 6 smoother in terms of RP and SL requirements than from rank 4 to 5. As for the earlier ranks - it took a lot of work to make the whole progress balanced and we are now happy to announce that the changes will be implemented in one of the nearest updates.
These changes actually mean that:
- RP requirements for vehicle and modification research will be reduced
- SL requirements for vehicle and modification purchase will be reduced
- Repair costs will be reduced
- Ammunition cost will be reduced
- Crew training will be reduced
- Expert and ace crew qualification will be reduced
Besides this we are bringing back the requirement to own the Sturer Emil in order to purchase the Jpz 4-5 and also the requirement to own the Jpz 4-5 to purchase RakJPz 2. These requirements were temporarily removed when the Jpz 4-5 was moved to the lightly armoured TDs branch.
The list of rank changes from 5 to 6 are available here
Research points requirements and prices changes
Preliminary research and purchase changes for ground vehicles rank 3-5
When the economy update is released the mentioned changes will affect the majority of rank 3-5 ground vehicles in all nations.
All of the above mentioned changes will come into effect in one of the following updates but the exact date may still change, follow the news!
The list of BR changes for aircraft are available here
Have fun and see you on the battlefield!

Hi guys please continue discussion here https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/389317-development-preliminary-research-and-purchase-changes-for-ground-vehicles-rank-3-5/
old players will get compensation ?? I just research SU 122 54 for 380k RP and 990k SL :(
No.
Realistic Repair cost 7000over? .....why...
what do u meant by repair cost reduced? because most of tanks i see got their repair costs even higher. Tanks like STA-1 cost up to 5000 sl now, like really? That's one of the worst high BR tank mainly because you messed it up and never bother you fix it (wrong gun, wrong mantlet thickness, wrong turret size, wrong reload speed etc). Staying alive in that thing for a whole game is not exactly easy, i just don't get why the repair cost is increased.
There are 3 different sections for Repair costs, Arcade, Realistic, and Simulator. Most tanks got their repair costs reduced. I once saw a player who asked why does the Ostwind cost 7000 SL, I then looked at it and it said 430 SL, then saw the 7000 SL and saw it was for Arcade battles while the 430 SL was for Realistic battles. Look carefully before commenting.
How exactly is the difference on the M26 "Ariete" between no RP cost and no RP cost (because it's premium) 42000? :D
Begleitpanzer 57? Old research cost is the same with the new one? :(
It's Rank VI vehicle, only repair cost is changing for it.
I'm currently researching the Centurion Mk 10, If I get to about 150000 RP when this change goes live, will the excess 30000 go to module research like excess battle rewards do?
No.
well i like the changes but there should be compensation, mainly for the RP, the sum of the differences in all those vehicles can be rather big
you should change the BR to M26 t99, 6.7 is pretty high
War Thunder Vehicle Rank 5>6 Changes : Ground Forces<---What does this part in that post mean?
It means they are moving them to rank 6.
Repair costs on the list aren't really a significant reduction, it looks like the average is almost the same. Anyway pleased to see changes have been done. Not really sure why on some vehicles get a reduction (e.g. t34-85, that thing is too fun and op to be too cheaper!) but whatever *shrug*
