The numbers below assume researching everything directly, using a linear (through) path, skipping unnecessary modules.
Tier VIII:
• 🇺🇸Ares 75: 100,000 XP
• This XP can be pre-farmed in advance on the Tier VII 🇺🇸T20
• Unlock becomes available after researching the top gun
Tier IX:
• 🇺🇸Ares 85: 180,000 XP / 300,000 XP
Tier X:
• 🇺🇸Ares 90: 250,000 XP / 600,000 XP
Tier XI:
• 🇺🇸Ares 90 C: 325,000 XP / 925,000 XP
Total:
• 925,000 XP to fully research the entire sub-branch directly with modules, starting from researching the Tier VIII 🇺🇸Ares 75.


Better to spend 1mil.xp on this then on ass shop trash…
damn i already got more than 100k on T20 😀 (which s imo the wrong tank to start this line, but OK)
I will see how I will play this one. I ususaly used mostly the nation thingies to get through quickly, but this mechanic seeems fun. to buy and equip each tank just to play it once however, is also not for me. too expensive…
Tier X wil need to buy and gind anyways unless we have a free XP rate event before then, i have a load of EXP to exchange…
hard choces ahead 😀
