    I have over 130 million SL and I am preparing to spend several million on the several dozen vehicles I unlocked over the prior 12 months, as soon as the half price sale starts in early November.

      @@invictusmaneo4587 Don't confuse the cart with the horse. Doing that is the reason I can afford to buy them several times over. I'm 58, retired and I have been playing War Thunder for over 10 years. I learned to play the long game a *_long_* time ago. Last year I spent 16 million buying everything I researched over the previous 12 months. The year before that, it was close to 24 million. I never 'grind' anything. I get my war bonds every day and retire.

    I have to say that since the last economy update, with sl being added to your repair cost per minute of survival, gave people who dont pay for premium account a very good chance to "survive" the games economy. I for example play decent top tier ground rb battles with a average kill to death ratio and get 3 times more sl back, than i have to pay. Well done gaijin and nice video Tankenstein!

    To be honest, this video was much less helpful than most the ones you put out. Someone looking up a silver lions guide is unlikely to do so because they needed to know you can spend them on buying new tanks. They want to learn the best ways to earn them and not just... "Kill stuff and use boosters". What tier and mode is best to grind at? What premium vehicles in particular are good for it? Is it more efficient to bomb in RA, or dogfight in quick AA matches? What about doing assault arcade and at what BR? And so on.

    I have never spent a single cent on this game and I have 3.4 million SL with my only premium vehicles being the DB-7, D.371 and the pansarbil m/40. I got these silver lions by avoiding repair costs (i.e. not paying for the repairs), using 10 kill wagers and victory wagers and a fuckton of seal clubbing with the pansarbil m/40.

    Speaking of grind, especially at this time of year, there are HUGE sales, usually 50% SL sale over the board, at Gaijins birthday. So you might as well save some SL to spend it then.
    I personally am grinding the Gepard right now, just grinded ~700k and I'm waiting for the sale to buy the Gepard and Alouette and some more planes I haven't had the chance to buy.

    A good way to save SL is to turn off auto repair. Instead of thoughtlessly losing 4k SL to autorepair, maybe you wait and go play another lineup or nation. Check back in a few hours and see how much less your repair cost is. Ive waited several days between playing some vehicles because I'm waiting for repair cost to go down a bit

      An easy way to make credits is when you have a lot of bombers unlocked, you basically take them out 1 by 1 without repairing them. Each game will bring in 20k, do 5 games that's 100k. You can probably do that in 1 hour.
      Playing lower tiers is a sure way to make credits, like tier 3 or so.

      Several months later, you get seduced back in by the CZcamsrs, and on your first rusty match you get top of team in a winning battle with an active 600% SL booster that you got earlier. YAY!!! You start another game. There you are in the latter half of the match, at spawn in your Wirbelwind, you see the fleeing Pe-8 that nuked you seconds before. He comes back after rearming, flying at the edge of your practical range. You line up a very far-lead trajectory and manage to instantly clip his wing off with the first burst. "YES I AM A GOD!!!" you say. Thirty seconds to a minute pass, and there are two more Pe-8s side by side in the exact same flight path as the first. Remembering the old lead, you line up and again, instantly clip off one's wing. Wasting no time, you switch to the other one, clipping off a wing tip and setting fire to everything burnable on that side of the plane before having to reload. You've reloaded, but the damaged bomber is out of sight but should crash any second. 3... 2... 1...... nothing, no explosions, no "Enemy Kill Assist" or "Aircraft Destroyed". Despite the confusion, the dopamine level keeps you aware and you spot a tank, but there's a problem, it's driving into the sky? Then you see it, the red text of death "CONNECTION TO SERVER LOST". Following the standard protocol of staying still and waiting fails, and you are kicked to the menu. You relaunch the game to see if you can rejoin... Nope, not happening... As you stare deeper and deeper into the screen, your soul leaves your body as you realize that the rewards and replay didn't transfer either... You close the game and then go back into the hermit box of anime... never to be seen again...
