Mythbuster: air battles for eyoung players
•
by dan quijote
I could never understand why young players should fight in air battles...
I. Competition
1. There is only one division in air battles and 4 in ground battles. Therefore there are 4 times more players because of this (actually more than 4 times because div 4 has many more players than 1-3).
2. There is only one fight in air battle and 4 in ground battles (please correct me, I thinks my numbers are a bit off). Therefore there will be 5 times more competition because of this.
1+2: in total the competition is 20 times tougher for getting a medal
II. Time needed to be competitive
1. Experienced players already have high rank for air combat, much more energy and can easily buy weapons. A lot of them buy packs. I think maybe after 10 years a new player could get lucky and win a medal.
2. In ground battles, in the lower division there are are still some empty battles. It is quite common for new players to win a few medals just because there was only one player that hit in a battle.
Conclusion: a young player may begin to get medals in air battles after many years of playing. Meanwhile, there are empty battles at D1-D3 where young players can get medals for free...
What is wrong with this analysis? Why do most people recommend eyoung players air battles?

IK players can easily outgun young player : higer rank, higher strength, more weapons and more health.
All they need is a couple of hits usually 🙂
True, but I have 12 BH won because I fought in ground battles. In air I would have gotten nothing...
Yes, but you're D1 and soon D2, then we can talk about it again
Because you have strong acc. in D1-D2-D3 who don`t level up with the help of the infantry pack. And your chance of getting a BH medal is 1%. Better fight in Air battles and rank up, finish all your DO so you can get bars and keep them. When you have good amount of energy bars go for the Air battle medal.
btw. If you are active and want to continue playing this game I would like to help you. We are going to speak soon about this I have some idea. 🙂

Yes, I plan to stick around. What are your plans, send me a pm, I also have something cooking 🙂
Hope your in Discord, i will be online again in 30min so we can speak there.
"What is wrong with this analysis?"
Nothing. eRep is like PSD. Catering to the OLD RICH players and shafting the new young generation 😁
Can you please define PSD? 🙂
haha the romanian Social Democrat party ( supposedly ). in reality they are just a bunch of crooks bribing ignorant people with meager stuff to buy their votes and enrich themselves and their friends.
Similar hoe eRep admins "buy" the whales by giving them medals and e-peen at the expense of the rest of players ( usually the new ones ).
The old generation is literally sucking the lifeblood of the new - same as in this game. The old "fossils" subside by feeding on new blood.
Ma gandeam eu ca la PSD te referi, dar ma pierdusesi cand ai zis ca are grija de batranii BOGATI. De unde? Batranii care voteaza cu PSD chiar isi apara saracia 🙂.
E normal ca adminii sa vrea sa ia si ei un salariu, nu? Asta e capitalismul 🙂. Eu nu am nici o problema sa le dau cativa euro pe luna. Jocul asta nu poate exista daca nimeni nu plateste nimic...
Bogati sunt "batranii" de aici 🙂
Adica au furat din eRo pana s-au imbogatit.
Una e sa dau "cativa euro pe luna", alta e sa faci tot jocul super dificil si enervant pt cei care nu vor/pot/whatever sa dea acei euro.
F2P model works as long as free players don't feel shafted to the extreme. Selling POWER for paying users pisses non paying users to no end and kills the game.
P2W.
Mi se pare ca e o diferenta intre batranii saraci din IRL si batranii bogati de aici. Romania e una din cele mai bogate tari din elumea asta. Una din putinele tari cu bonusurile la maxim. Batranii romani au un merit incontestabil pentru asta.
eu sunt un eroman sarac...
vote 🙂
Nice analysis. o7
For medals you are right, for the impact for the nation in air you can do more damage in some time.
v/s/e/s
Indeed I did not consuder the impact for the nation because that is 0 anyways. I do not think that there is anything a young player can do to have impact for a nation.
In some time, like two months you will have an impact with air. That said, there are so much training wars and so few real wars so the impact for a nation isn't that much important. Most important is your fun. Without fun you will leave the game. So have fun!

Wrong
Excelent answer, but please tell me why! 🙂
Read my comment. After level 35 I think we'll talk about it.
For a ground you need strengh and rank. You have no chance to play with the old players. And by air, you shoud fight only for rank.
That;s the diference.
I wrote "wrong" about this:
2. There is only one fight in air battle and 4 in ground battles (please correct me, I thinks my numbers are a bit off).
3:1
That depend if you pack or not, but if you pack it's not so difficult to win some SH on empty air battle...
What pack would that be? Would it be more usefull for a young player to use a pack or to sell it for CC?
Didn't read comments, but I'll give my answer. F2P players won't get medals but will be able to hit in COs more easily in airbattles since they are not so late compared to ground. They just need food, no Q7 that are out of price.
When it comes to pack players, they can get SHs in a very short time : 2months. They would need several years to have sufficient strength to farm BHs vs Mav packs and long time IK.
What pack is that? I preferred to sell packs for CC, I thought it is more usefull at the beginning.
I did not consider the COs when I wrote the article. It is a good point!
with PP+BP you can get SH with a quite low rank, using houses to have a huge FF reserve. It is funnier than selling packs, and you get far more rank points so you can farm SH earlier.
if you want tke BH and I say that as player that take some, you need to invest time, most of new player just figth without any weapon or thought about anything, so I gess that will be more good if they will figth in air battel, also in air battel with my rank and OC 100K per 1m damage I take arounf 600 cc almost 2 gold, so....
and if you taking about rank in air battle thnk what is in war with strength&rank.
I never thought about making money from CO... This is a very good point!
if they try take BH you rigth but most of them no so....
what should i do? 🙁
It's hard to say, for you just came back in game after 3 years offline... You're like a new now.
yes newbie here.. 🙂
100k strength and level 30? I would say it is pretty straightforward to go for the ground battles...
even without packs?
I don´t use packs and I have 12 BH. A few of them were a complete surprise... There are many players with 200k hitting in D1, but there is room for everybody 🙂.

This is an excerpt from the Announcements Release when the Air Battles were introduced
New Industry and Aircraft Battles
"Dear Citizens,
The eWorld is evolving. A new era begins, in which every man counts when standing up against enemies and where even the most inexperienced soldier can fight in meaningful wars. Roger that, eRepublik community?"
You can find it here https://www.erepublik.com/en/main/latest-updates/0/272
The Air battles and industry were supposed to level out the gap between players. I know it was stated just like that when it was released, but they probably removed it because it was a LIE 🙂
With the industry it is even funnier: I bet a lot of young players are loosing money because they have companies.
No, its wrong. After two years of 2-clicking without any airstrike-engagement == zero airstrike-power I started in March 2017 investing into airstrike. Since March I got 50 SH-medals!!
What you need for SH-medals are a BP and a MP for the energy you can collect, otherwise you have to invest many EBs, and you need phases of high activity waiting for your chance. If you start and continue hitting without scanning the situation you will lose.
1. And without packs?
2. And if you would have bought packs for ground battles and fought in ground battles, how many BH do you think you would have won?
1. Without packs you have to collect many EBs before you try a SH.
2. I got ~ 100 BH since March 2017. Depends on acitivity, much more were possible. But as D1-Player it's more difficult, there are some guys on the road with IP-stopped level, but high damage and rank, they try to grab every D1-BH.
its not completely wrong ofc you have no chance in fighting for medals against someone with like grope captain rank and 4k FF but when we say its better for new players to fight in air we mean you can make more money with co and you can be more effective in important battles
don't use weapons. they aren't worth much extra, but if you have a factory, sell them instead.
I would give the opposite advice: use only q7 weapons. 🙂
