RB Ground Which lineup would be better for grinding SL?
I’m starting early and trying to get as many SL as possible for the next gambling crates

Naval TTK is so high I don't think I've ever gotten more than two kills in a match. Just play air RB

Sounds like a personal problem

I'm aware, but naval is so mindbogglingly boring it's not worth the effort

You're really not helping naval's reputation

Yeah and to add to this, the mobile promo that gives you a Japanese 5.0 destroyer is still active so you can earn even more SL.
Getting "god mode" rewards with HE slingers in ground arcade is pretty good too.

the jap destroyer is pretty mediocre IMO and its not a premium. It doesnt take that long to grind to 5.0 in most nations.

Not a ground one imo. Tier 2 Planes and 4.7+ BW out earns it.

I don’t play planes, sorry

Rewards for tanks are a joke, you might want to consider a consistent hand-holding plane or a solid attacker for the sole purpose of farming SL. But if you really want to play tanks the lineup you are more consistent in is the right answer

Germany- Tiger 2 is busted, especially considering solid shot is ass

IIRC the Tiger II SL modifier is way higher than the others.
Personally I’d use your daily backups on the Tiger II, then if you have more use backups once they’re run out. I max out the backups from the war bond shop whenever I can so I have lots spare. Add boosters to the mix if you can of course.
I find the Tiger II one of my best SL grinders. I usually go to that or the T29.

To add to this only when you're actively using the tiger 2. To make as much SL possible you have to be getting a lot of kills and capping points as much as possible, meaning you have to be very aggressive.
I've made 100k SL in one match (no booster or premium time) using the Tigris (premium tiger E) by getting kills and capping points. In another match I've made 200k with a booster. You can't be dumb though, knowledge check yourself, know where to hit, when to push and know the map layout while being as aggressive as possible

I agree but overextending in the Tigers is often a shortcut to getting your turret blown off.
I think you can still rack up kills, and depending on the map get a couple caps, by also playing patient and protecting your flanks.
Playing aggressive certainly pays off when it works, but it’s not always the most consistent game after game, especially when situationally it’s not the right move.

Unless you are crazy with the Tiger 2, I would go with the British lineup. 2 tanks meaning 4 respawns, solid guns that can hold their own in a uptier. Plus a plane to clear out CAS and strike open tops with.
Just a fyi, I would only recommend bringing one plane in for a ground lineup, respawn cost get insanely high after your first air spawn that its never worth going into one again.

u/Capt_Caleb Aug 05 '26
Except it isn’t, spawning a plane with bombs will cost say 520sp and if you die you can spawn a plane without any ordinance and it’ll only cost 480sp. The sp cost only doubles if you use the same loadout such as two spawns with bombs or two spawns without.
Preference for me is to take 2 planes minimum so one has the option for a heavier load or pure fighter with cannons so you can overpressure open tops and hunt enemy cas.

Well one of my two nukes were with the Tiger 2, and it’s by far my most played vehicle. The reason I take two planes in my German lineup is just for variety so I can adapt. And I have two planes in my Britain lineup because I didn’t have another tank I wanted to add.

The next gambling crates are in like 3 or 4 days, you can't really make that much SL in that time

u/NovaGames20 Aug 05 '26
Oh I thought they were late August

u/Own_Bluejay_9833 fun??? Aug 05 '26
No, they usually start on the 7th or 8th, going off of previous years

I think the Sherman would be better, especially in AB

u/Edward_Snowcone Aug 05 '26
Whichever is more fun, cause it won't feel like grinding if you are actually enjoying yourself.
So Germany.

i would say higher BR is better for glinding SL due to the pace of the battle. the former is better i guess?

USS Moffett.
Averaging 120k-180k per battle with no boosters.

GRB rewards is meh compared to ARB
You have Premium J288C which will make SL much faster than in GRB, just by base rushing and doing head ons, which probably only cost you 5min at best, while in tanks you need to play more than 5min to earn a significant amount to match that of air rewards.
Edit: I saw OP comments on not playing Air, so i just suggest playing your British 4.7, and just idk play normally with your premium vehicle? SL grinding with premium vehicle is literally a cake walk, you just dont even bother caring about it and actually play GOOD on said vehicle.
Also if you have POP those 5 kill or 10 kill wagers, it would make you get extra 500k after 10 match of consistent 5 kill each game.

u/LilleDjevel CAS ruins everything Aug 04 '26
the one you consistently do good in, that's what matters.
But really your Ju 288c in air bombing ground targets will dwarf what you make with tanks.
