When I buy premium time, I only buy 6 months at a time because I like to play other games. You can get a full year for $40 USD, or you can get 6 months for $20 USD. Premium goes on sale 2-3 times a year for half price. It will benefit you no matter what you like, and give you time to figure out what you enjoy most in War Thunder. I would recommend at first that you buy Premium time. What game mode you like (Tanks, planes, etc), and what kind of vehicles you are good with (Heavy Tanks, bomber planes, etc). What to buy in War Thunder really depends on you. It is essentially a free premium vehicle for War Thunder and could be tanks or planes, probably boats in the future too. The more active your Squadron, the more XP you will get towards your vehicles. You can only get these vehicles by using Squadron XP, which you get for being in a Squadron. There are several tanks and planes that you can get for each country in War Thunder.

You can also ask a friend for their invite code and it’ll get Golden Eagles for you and your friend. The vehicles are all low level, but they’ll give you a little extra help leveling when you’re just getting started. Usually a low level premium vehicle and some Golden Eagles (the premium currency in War Thunder which we’ll cover later). Several content creators have invite codes that will start you off with some free stuff for War Thunder (look in the YouTube video description). Before you sign up to play, look for an invite code.
