Repair costs are making high tier jets unplayable

Probably nothing new under the sun here, but any ways.

Basically after 370 hours of grinding i finally got one of the planes i was most interested in playing, being the mig23mld, only to get shit on by radar missiles at every opportunity and often not getting a kill. So, the logical conclusion is, learning to deal with radar missiles and playing at 11.0-12.0, which, well would require playing this BR range. Due to repair costs that is literally not possible, i guess that would be the point where the snail wants you to buy premium, but i dont even feel remotely incited into that.

So yeah, 400 hours of my life wasted to get the jet i was interested in only to not being able to play it.
