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/
Good improvement. Just got a bit disagree with your decision to bringing back the requirement to own sturer emil first =_=
will we get RP back for the vehicles we already researched?
No.
Will tier 4 premiums also be discounted?
What, why? You can unlock rank 3-5 even faster now using T4 premium, if anything, they are even more valuable now.
Wait, so most of the "top BR" Tier Five tanks are now going to Tier Six? Hmm... Interesting. Lets hope it translates into a (MUCH NEEDED) BR decompression... It has potential, Gaijin, we as a community are counting on you, and I sincerely hope to be able to provide you with propper feedback, support, and even constructive criticism (when necessary).
Bought Tortoise 3 days ago, could have been 130k cheaper, nevermind. But I don't get the increase of repair cost in RB from 3680 > 4440. Little pricey especially in comparison with T95 - 3400 > 3400. I think 3680 was high enough, so why the increase?
when will it be implimented?
so increase the repair cost the Begleitpanzer 57 knowing it cannot even perform at 8.7 can we please have the BR dropped in line with the BMP-1P please Thanks :)
you*
Can we get some changes in the EVENTS for SB Low T5?? Now the T95E1 is going to be tier 6 tanks but it still playing in low T5, not that i'm saying that is op because it isn't, but you could move it to high tier 5 and 6, and move to low tier 5 tanks like M48 and M103
No reply means no? :P
Quick question, say I had 70k rp into the Ferdi, when this drops will that stay the same or will it drop as well? Thanks!
Of course it will say same!
Why decrease the amount needed per tank instead of the rp gain which is ridiculous in ground rb.
