Stage 2 of Operation Summer 2018 has started on the 3rd of August, and everyone is going
mad trying to grind for the Illusive IS-7.
In this video I'll tell you the most efficient way to grind parts, break down how long it'll
take to unlock the vehicles using my method, and share a special shortcut for console players
and DMM users who can't use the marketplace.
Hello you sexy beasts, and welcome back to war thunder
(intro)
Before we jump into it there are just a couple disclaimers.
This video will be fast and rough, since I need to grind myself and don't have the
time to fully edit it out, so please excuse the lower than normal quality.
I will also be skipping over a lot of the detailed explanations and go straight to the
results, if you are confused or want to know how I got my results, there will be links
in the description to the reddit posts I've made myself explaining everything in detail.
This video is primarily aimed at the players who already have a grasp of the basics of
the event.
Secondly, count this as a trigger warning.
I will be promoting tactics that can be considered as "cancerous" by players who just want
to play the game and don't care about the event.
Thankfully this will all end together with the event on the 13th of August, but until
then expect your matches to be awful.
Alright, let's jump into it
The first question on everyone's mind will be how long you'll need to grind for to
get the T-34E and the IS-7.
Using the efficient grinding mention I'll explain later, it will take you a minimum
of 13.2 hours for the T-34E, and 28.7 hours for the IS-7, for a combined grind time of
almost 42 hours, if you want to go completely free without the use of the marketplace.
Accounting for queue times and breaks, you'd have to play for roughly 5h a day since the
start of the event to pull this off until it ends, it's a massive time commitment.
So, how can you maximise your efficiency of getting part drops, without going insane.
You'll be glad to hear that it is completely irrelevant how badly or well you play, as
well as if you win or lose.
The only thing that matters is the time.
Through extensive testing I've discovered that there is a soft cap that limits your
drops to 1 per 9 minutes.
Occasionally you can get a drop earlier than that, but 9 minutes is the most reliable time.
What this means is essentially this.
If you return to hangar when a match passes the 9 minute mark, you get a guaranteed part
drop.
This also stacks if you play multiple shorter matches.
For example, if you die in the first 3 minutes of a match and are forced to return to hangar
without gaining a part drop, you can then spend only 6 minutes in the next match to
guarantee yourself one.
You can also play three 3 minute matches and guarantee a drop on the third one.
You can play a 5 minute and a 4 minute match, and so on, you get the point.
This does mean that you will have to leave battles early if you want to maximise your
grinding efficiency.
If you spend any more than 10 minutes in a match, you're just wasting your time, since
the quality of drops does not seem to be improved at all by how long or how well you play.
To reiterate, spend 9 minutes total in matches, bail out, and guarantee a drop.
I've been keeping a track of my average material per drop rate, and by using this
method you can get up to 10.7 materials per hour for the T-34, and 22 materials per hour
for the IS-7.
You will need a total of 127 materials to complete the T-34, and 516 materials to complete
the IS-7
Finally, there is a paid shortcut for console players and DMM users, since they do not have
access to the marketplace.
Sadly this does not apply to PC players from the Netherlands and Belgium, you will have
to go through the entire and full grind if you want to get the IS-7, I'm afraid.
Right, the players I've mentioned have access to this box in their workshop.
For 1000 GE, you buy one box which gives you a coupon for an item from stage 1.
It doesn't matter if you own them or not, you can exchange the items you get for a voucher.
And this is where the trick lies.
You can further exchange these vouchers for 30 materials to speed up your grind.
In case of the T-34E, that's a time saving of about 3 hours for every 1k GE spent, but
the return is diminished for the IS-7.
You can almost completely skip the grind this way, but it will cost you over 20 thousand
golden eagles and you still need to get the rare parts as well, which is completely random
and can possibly take dozens of hours of grinding.
Thankfully there is an item that not only makes it much easier to acquire the rare parts,
but can also speed up your material grind for the IS-7 by 30-50%
The metal detector, costing 1K GE for the T-34 and 2K GE for the IS-7, unlocks the ability
to gain a single rare material every time you get a regular material drop.
You can use these rare materials to assemble the rare parts without relying on them dropping
by chance, but this does not block your ability to get them, meaning you can receive basic
materials, rare materials AND a rare part in a single drop.
Now this is useful if you're buying all the base materials for the IS-7, since it'll
guarantee no more than 7 hours of grinding needed to get all the rare parts.
However, it is even more useful if you don't buy the parts.
With the metal detector for the IS-7, you can get up to 6.7 rare materials per hour.
With two of these, you can build the rare part called IS-7 cylinder head, which you
can then disassemble for 5 regular materials.
This boost your material gain per hour by another 15, on top of the 22 you get with
my grinding method, for a total of 37 materials per hour.
This cuts down the time needed to get the 516 materials needed for the IS-7 after you've
acquired the T-34E from 28 hours to 14 hours.
For 2k GE, that is fully worth it.
Finally, I'm not going to explain all the recipes for you, but I am going to direct
you to my Discord instead.
I've compiled a list of all the recipes needed to build each part in a special text
channel there, as well as some useful links.
The recipes are the same for everyone, so don't waste time using the wrong parts.
But this is it for today, I need to get back into the grind.
If you want to see me using the IS-7 gaijin has lent to me to grind the IS-7 for full
Russian biasception, I'll be streaming today on both twitch and youtube, in fact I'm
probably live shortly after this video goes up.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me in the stream chats.
But anyways, good luck with the grind lads, don't forget to stay hydrated and walk around
a couple of times every hour to avoid an embolism, and
stay tuned for an IS-7 guide both for the players, and the people going up against them
in the near future.
My name has been MikeGoesBoom, and thank you for watching!
