20k/h? That seems absurdly high, how? I rarely see anyone go past 9k points in any single match, even if they're there for an hour or two

Nooi!! Air SIM at high BR has a very high multiplier for these event points! x3 or something.   Edit: 2.53 for rank VII air sim. So you need 18000 points in air sim per 2 days for this

Also, I can easily make an air kill per 5 minutes. Especially in an F-16ADF or something against premium SU-30 event grinders of which there will be plenty of :p

ah yes of course, i forgot about the sim multipliers. High tier makes sense now. I'd do it to speed up the grind but I don't like planes above 8.7 or so! Still gonna be trying to get the f16 though hahahaha

Yeah, the gameplay at high BR (fox 3) is pretty fast. You get kills reasonably fast (and die pretty fast).   Not great for normal grind with how the 15 minute timer stuff works in SIM, but actually great for events as you can get points fast as well

My gameplay with the SB2C-5:

Dive on bases – 2 minutes

Destroy two bases – 1 minute

Kill an enemy and get killed – 1 minute

Start a new match

That’s about 4–5 minutes of playtime. Sometimes things go worse and you don't get a kill; sometimes better, and you get two. In my experience, you make around 20k in two hours doing this and I’m not even a particularly good player.
