Hi I'm an old-timer who have played some WT several years ago. I wanted to try it out again, but heard that there was a controversy because Gaijin is a scumbag. Was this problem solved?

To be clear those are both for realistic- part of why the grind feels better in air realistic is that you only get the single plane. So to upgrade you really only have to research the next one. Whereas for ground you're probably going to delay until you can field a full new lineup unless it's a very small BR jump.

They're meant to be doing some foldering sometime soon, and reducing the RP needed for foldered vehicles. When that happens I expect ground will be much much better.

I hope so, because this grind grind grind aspect really pushes a lot of players away. (This is the case for me)

Well, good news. They released an update about that foldering I mentioned in my earlier comment just a couple hours ago showing the changes they were going to make sometime in September, and it looks pretty great. They're adding a lot of folders, and the foldered stuff will cost half as much to research.

Oh my that sounds great. Does that apply for the free users too?

Yep, they're changing the tech trees directly which will affect everyone.

Exactly how large the buff is depends on the country you play.

reduce the required amount of Research Points by 50% for these grouped vehicles, except the first in the group.

This sounds great, and it will be applied to aircrafts as well, as it seems, although It's baffling that there are more USA Rank IV premium planes that free ones. Wow Gaijin.
