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.

So rp rewards will stay the same?
Yes.
Yes give the bombers lower repair cost so there is no need for them to land in SB EC. Bomber already ruined the Sim Mode and made a lot of SB players quit and leave the game and you keep handholding these ABusers.
They will in some cases earn 70% less than they did before based on the chart, Tu-4 got a huge nerf, so there may still be some hope. Even with the reduced earnings they will still be earning more than the best fighter pilot on the team, which is just nonsense, these ABusers need to go back to RB because they have ruined SIM.
fix the f4 it is so buggy plz ): ): ): ): ): ): ): ): ): ): ):.
what about the Ta152s i know they are not bombers but plz just lower the rep cost on those 30k for a fighter is a little much if you have to increase the BR that's ok just do it we would rather have that than high rep cost. else this is a really cool and nice change! thanks gajin keep it up!.
Happy with this change but my thoughts too! Quite a few fighters could do with a huge repair cost reduction in SB. I would much rather play an overtiered plane at a higher BR, than just never get to fly it coz of insane repair cost. Like wtf is up with the Ki61 Hei's 26k repair? It's a 4.0, with 2.3 performance, the cannons of a 2.7 german fighter, and a repair that's almost 4 times the cost of jet fighters (one ki61 = four F84G's?). Hopefully they do this same revamp for fighters too...
Very good news!
So happy for this change. Love flying bombers, but the repair cost was just to prohibitive.
Awesome to see. Now when are we making it so a ground kill is actually worth the money to fire the shot? Theres no reason that players with a 8-15 kill game should still be bringing in a mere 12k RP with a premium account and premium tank.
Why !!! I love play bomber but why did you lowered the bombing reward !! No gaijin Its not what we wanted , why dont you just augment the spawning altitude of bomber ? To augmenter is survavibility . I prefer to gain more Rp per game and pay more repair more Than 3000.
good
can you do same for fighters some have uneceserly high repair cost like k4 or ta 152s most players dont know how to use them and get claped so in rage they go to rank 1 to club new players its not good for game getting new players
I agree that some fighters have a very high repair cost...But, I haven't had any problems staying positive for most battles in any ta, and the k4 isn't that expensive IMO (anything below 20k is affordable). They need BR decompression and altered BR's so they can lower the repair cost. but they would suck against jets so they won't do it.
