Yes I would. Three lines of thought:

One paying for premium is pretty cheap and often half off during holidays. Something like $30-50 for a year. And it makes the grind much quicker. They gotta run their servers and make money somehow.

Two buying premium planes at holidays is fairly reasonably priced, $30-40 dollars. You get exactly what you want the it makes the grind much easier. It gives you a ton more points making life easier. I recommend the Russian mig21.

So for 30$ once plus $30-50 the game isn’t that much of a grind, you support the devs, and you get to play what you want.

Three you can pay to just unlock normal planes you’re researching. I’ve found this to be unreasonably priced and see no reason to do this. For instance for US I’m slowly research the f14. Maybe a couple days and I could have it, but if I paid for the gold it would be something dumb like $60. I think that is never worth it.

I first started playing thinking I would never pay but premium and a good high tier jet are totally worth it. I’ve played almost 600 hours and bought four premiums and prem twice. So for maybe $120 I’ve gotten 600 hours and four exactly jets I want. That’s worth it to me.

Another thought, on the subreddit people often say if you don’t enjoy just playing a the grind to get high tier isn’t fun then you won’t enjoy the game. There is a lot of truth in this. Low to mid tier is actually in many ways more fun. WW1 is hilarious because there are a lot of newbs and the props turn so fast. WW2 is even more fun. I love my early jets like the f8u. So it was annoying to start not wanting to pay and just wanting high tier jets but honestly there is so many fun planes.

I believe I’ve got my monies worth haha ;)

Edit I’ll also add realistic if quite fun. If you want more arma like you might play ground realistic so you can fight tanks and planes.

I prefer FOSS though, don’t wanna use that

I’ve made my life so much easier by only downloading the version with subs. It’s so annoying to find specially for tv

Why did I read this as chartles

Doesn’t that guy run some history thing where they inform people interesting history facts daily in meme form? That son of a bitch

Did not consider that far, good thought! :)

Wonder if India and Central Asia would be Buddhist then.

This is what I was picturing the whole time

How is Logseq going?

Trilium is nice because it runs local first but also has the server side to sync too and work as a web app. Meaning I can access it anywhere and on my phone. I run it on docker on my server then on Linux on everything else.

I run memos on docker on my server as well as a web app. There is an iPhone app MoeMemos but they don’t have offline use yet. Good thing about memos over my notebook is that I can easily tag and search things. Bad thing is my server goes offline and I’m not home then I don’t have those notes. Good thing I send backups to other servers every 10 minutes.

Some other tools I use which might be interesting to you include Paperless-ngx for organizing and tagging PDFs. I use Zotero for work PDFs though because I need the exact citations. I also use Nextcloud to sync my files across devices to make sure the 1000 of notes and PDFs are backed up, though trilium backups well already.

I have had fights with Nextcloud in the past but somehow I got it working well this time. Only using it for syncing though none of their other crap.

I also know of Joplin which like Logseq has offline app note taking on all devices.

Seems rather basic, plenty of similar options!
