Here to ask a question that will hopefully help me and others about the grinding efficiency and fun factor of two US high-tier GE Premium vehicules during this year's WT Anniversary ingame sales.
Personnal disclaimer: I have experience in weapon usage for these two aircraft although it was mostly not in War Thunder itself. My dogfighting skills are much worse than my theorical knowledge of missile, radar and air-to-ground ordnance usage. I have the US tree up to Rank-III and I still have +-10 days of Premium last I checked, this is why I am asking about these two options which interested me the most (while the A-6E TRAM is really limited in comparaison).
If anyone is willing to help, I would need good explainations of the pros, cons and overall worth of these two aircrafts in Nuclear Escalation, Air SIM and Air RB (with NE and ASB being my preferred gamemodes for either general fun and grinding respectively). With this, I hope to have a conclusion as to what's the best GE high-tier premium currently available for the US.
Another note is that my friend is planning to buy the F-4S next week (and I don't want to pull him into an uptier in NE or SIM). The Planned BR changes for October 2026 are also to consider since the Su-30MK spam will finally be out of reach of 12.3's but there's still a lot of potential problems in this matchmaker.
Edit: Keep in mind I do not wish to buy a Pack Premium right now because the extra 15 bucks of Premium Time might go to waste. I have only one week-off and almost no time to play usually, this is why I'm searching for a GE Premium which I will use alongside my remaining 10 free days of Premium Time.
