The floatplane event made me play again. Can someone explain the research system to me?

Also, mixed battles (ground and air) are in again.

[Aseaheru]

Research system: Doing things gets you Research Points, which are used to both research upgrades for your aircraft and a aircraft you select from the research tree.
Same for tanks.

[Sheb]

Are they the same RP? Can you research more than a plane? I have a fucking bajillions convertible points, those I worthless until I pay real money, right? Can you RP tanks with a plane, or vice-versa? What's does "this plane is better at research rank x aircraft" actually means?

[Aseaheru]

Same RP.
Yes, parts.
Well, they do give you some eagles, but mostly yes.
No.
I think it has a multiplier applied when R&Ding that with the particular aircraft.

Tanks and planes use separate RP, you cant research tanks by flying. You can only have one reaserch at a time (one plane/one tank) per nation. Convertible points are useless. Most planes are good at researching the following plane (you will research slower if you are one flying the chaika and want to research the mig15)

Let me explain it.

Module research points and plane research points are not the same. One unlocks modules, the other unlocks planes/tanks, and they're not interchangible. What Aseaheru means is that the amount of module RP you get is the same as the amount of Plane RP, before modifiers.

You can research only 1 tank or 1 plane at the same time. As the matchmaking uses the highest BR (battle Rating) amongst your planes, I suggest researching planes of equal battle rating and moving your way up.

Convertible (or free RP, as it was called a few updates ago, is useless.) Unless you convert it, you get nothing. ((Btw, don't convert them. If you want to spend Eagles, buy a premium plane or Talisman instead. More RP for your money)). Speaking of which, some (short) tutorials award you Golden Eagles (premium currency), so you should do those.

Now, I mentioned modifiers earlier. Mostly, these are ignorable. Using a Rank X plane means that you get 100% RP for Rank [X-1 to rank X+1] planes. For the next Rank difference, it's 90%, and afterwards I think only 50%. As such, try to limit the rank spread between your craft, and the one you're trying to research. Using the preferred research plane (Ie, the one in the rank below researches at 110%).

Also, you can't research planes by flying tanks or vice-versa, but the 2X daily bonus is shared. (So if you get a tank victory, the bonus is used up and you can't use it for a plane match)

Thanks.

I just had a derp moment when playing the Float event. My H6K just unlocked torpedoes, so I was eager to try them. I make a first pass, and launch a torpedo from relatively far away, since the cruisers aren't moving anyway. I then circle around, rearm, kill two more cruisers, then someone capture the A point. The Cruisers turn allies. At that moment, my very first torpedo hit. I was charged 6000 lions for friend kill. 

[Aseaheru]

Ooh, thats amusing.

Hey Sheb, want to get in a squad?

[Sheb]

I'm in the =Bay12= squad already. Is there another one?

Also, I just did a mission with the Stuka, but since I actually haven't unlocked it yet, it seems I lost the RP.

[10ebbor10]

What mission? A test flight doesn't do anything (being just that, a test flight), and I wouldn't know where you would get the thing from otherwise.

[Sheb]

You have single player missions, that let you use a variety of plane on some predetermined scenario.

[Aseaheru]

It says the squadron does not exist.
And I was asking about joining up in a group to fight together.

[Sheb]

I'd love to, but I really, really suck. What do you have in mind?

[Aseaheru]

teir one shit, probably realistic for aircraft and sim for tanks...

[Sheb]

Do you have an in-game squadron?
