Real talk: we all know the only reason they released Italian planes is because after doing the Italian tech tree repeatedly for years, the UI guy started getting restless.

you arent going to make money in carb.

they lowered jet rp considerably a while ago, at the same time reducing vehicle rp and upping mod rp rewards at the end of a game. So tanks tank forever, jets a little less long.

I'm still coasting on the ~1.4 mil refund from however many tech tree changes happened in the 18 months or so I wasn't playing but the minute I decide to buy something in BR5+ (and get out of arcade hell) it's right back to the silver mines.

Will Italy have ground vehicles?​
Answer: Yes, we plan this. For the time being, we can’t say when the full ground vehicle tech tree will appear, but we are not ruling out a vehicle-by-vehicle addition. As happened with the British tree, for example. This will allow you to use Italian assault aircraft in mixed battles.

I can't remember much from when Brit tanks were added, did they fill the tree piecemeal or is this just a reference to the gated tiers?

You can easily make gamebux with anything, provided it has sane repair costs. Generally those tend to jump way high on tier 4 and upwards. Doing T4+ tanks is a pretty solid way of losing money, generally speaking. But, I say this every time this gets brought up, you can make good money playing CARB as long as you spawn yourself a plane, because then you have the plane's higher rewards and a playerbase that is several times more willing to fly braindead and give you easy kills.

My current easy go-to method of making silver lions is playing arcade with the two P-47Ds and some other plane with the same BR. You're generally put into a game like Front Line where there are tons of soft ground targets you can kill easily with rockets or your guns as well as some harder targets you have to kill with bombs but make you more money. Along with that, the P-47Ds have the flamethrower tracer belt and it's pretty easy to get air kills with them. I usually get around 10k each time I play this without too much trouble. Of course I'm not very good at this game and I'm sure there are people here who can easily rack up more money reliably playing certain planes in realistic but whatev.

They added a rather sparse but full tree that was about 3/4 of the current tree that they're still adding vehicles (then again they're just adding vehicles to all trees) and then it was like the current Italian tree: unless you gave them cash you had to wait to get more than just the reserve stuff as they unlocked vehicles for the unwashed masses bit by bit.

As a side, I fully expect just about every nation's ground tree to explode when they start adding more armored cars.

Talisman a good tank like the M36 or buy the Super Hellcat on the next 50% sale, then use them with P-47s if you want to both play tanks and make money. Make about 40-70k per game if you don't die right away. You will die right away about 25-30% of the time if you're dumb like me, but the other end of that spectrum where you murder everyone is about as likely.

P-36s have actually always been bonkers. Surprising the gently caress out of Russians with that thing's insane turbo-elevator has always been a good time.

The best way to deal with IS-6 continues to be "cap point, spawn AD-2 before anyone else is flying, bomb all of them"



That was 4 + T-44/100 and basically changed the outcome of 2 of the caps. That game also included a ram on a Do-219 that flipped him inverted but killed neither of us outright, and it actually gave me credit when he hit the ground! Ram was required because I'm dumb as hell and forget how fast the F8F-B guns jam without the upgrades.

CARB is just a means to piss off Wehraboos and Russians with airplanes. The tanks are merely a platform to reach the end goal.

Bonus points for the Super Hellcat because it makes them extra angry.

This, but use stealth belts on your t-bolts, and throw on a Thunderer or Battle Victory wager at max stakes to really print money. AB 3.0 Americans is free wager money to the tune of a half mil a go on the wagers. With the rewards from the missions thrown in as well, you're looking at 1-2m lions from a Thunderer wager, easily.

The G.50 used to be good when it was a rarely seen aircraft but I guess everyone is way more clued into Italians these days.

Also there's no real point to the C.200s when the C.202 is at 2.3
