In the upcoming economy update we will focus on the overly expensive repair of heavy bombers. Repair prices, awards for base bombing and costs for suspended weaponry will be corrected and all this will make flying out in heavy bombers much less risky and more affordable for average players. This will of course have an effect on any kind of bombing attack from all bomb capable aircraft.
In addition to the automatic balancing (manual adjustment being done regularly after major updates) of Battle Ratings in War Thunder, there is also an automatic algorithm that is responsible for the game economy. Among its tasks are also the adjustment of repair prices depending on the average earnings of the specific vehicles. Bombers possess base destruction as a unique goal which brings greater income, however, heavy bombers find themselves in a situation over time where prices for repair automatically increase to a substantial amount. This has made flying out in them an economically risky business for players.
Repair cost of some bombers will be reduced !
To solve this problem it would not be enough to simply reduce the award for base bombing and therefore the repair cost because even within one rank the aircraft may have very different carrying capacities which would result in a situation where lightweight bombers would receive a low amount of awards. We believe that the optimal solution is an algorithm that adjusts the award value for base bombing based on the current bomb load. This in turn will reduce the repair cost of some bombers and will not affect the total income of the vehicles even with a low bomb load in any battle result.
For example: a Tu-2S-44 (BR 6.0) with 2,000 kg of bombs will receive a decent award for successful base bombing and the B-24D-25-CO (BR 6.0) with 3,600 kg bombs in turn will not reflect twice the repair costs of the Tu-2S.
The algorithm will affect only awards for base bombing and will not affect other battle awards in any way. So bombers will still retain the ability to provide their pilots with stable Silver Lion earnings.
Full table
The data presented in the table is preliminary and may change during the development process.
We constantly revisit and revise economy changes and will look again at all areas. For now we plan to make these specific changes that affect all bomb capable aircraft at the beginning of October. We would be happy to receive your opinions and suggestions on this topic.

they just keep messing everything up. this is not how u care for a game, u know? that's horrible, gaijin, trully disgusting.
Well that's it for me i will not renew my premium account (though still have 244 days lol) as this spells the doom of WT i can still make enough in fighters but that is not the point. The list of slap in the face piss in my pocket is getting longer and longer. (though i also blame players complaining because they cant play lack skills stuff.. bombers were fine before people went on about the cost when it wasn't an issue. So now we have this, Gaijin try to hide a nerf is a fix that was not needed
if done to force me to spend money and get premium it has done the opposite as i was after every vehicle;e in game and so i have premium and would get prema vehicles but it still put a strain on my lions ... this added loss to lions only slows me down (i make 6oo to 800k a day but am still needing 3 to 4 mill to get some the last top vehicles let alone spade them) I don't even get the time to enjoy the ones i have... thanks Gaijin you at last broke my will
My biggest problem with flying bombers was the repair costs. I do not fly bombers for the SL but for the team win. In saying that, the reward was never enough to cover the cost of bomber repairs, especially the 217s.
Well, the TU-4 (China) and its Russian counterpart still are WAYYY to expensive to fly out if shot down, "How so?" Gaijin might ask, well, the TU-4 for China costs 104,022 SL to repair, no thank you, not paying it, and its Russian version is roughly about 60,000SL to repair, so, this I'm afraid, is not a fix at all.
they havent done it yet, but so you know as is with that cost is ok as you can easy make so much more, well unless your and idiot and dont know how to use it and never try new ways... you never could see the bigger picture and you focused on that 1 number, well thanks to people like you they have done this
The repair costs of all vehicles should stay the same just increese the amount of lions people get each game because every type of plane, jet, tank you can not make a profit at high tiers using anything above T4 just dieing in 1 vehicle iv had a 14k repair cost and i hardly ever see 14k silver lions even in a good game
No
