How to use this tool

In War Thunder you pay repair and ammunition in Silver Lions; spawn points are a separate match resource, not an SL “spawn fee.” Enter the repair you expect for the vehicles you usually lose, plus ammo, then use your own average rewards per kill from recent battles.

Estimate how many kills (or assists) you needed to break even on expected repair plus ammo Silver Lions after a death.

  • Use your own recent kill rewards — they vary by mode and activity.
  • A second death doubles the repair problem.

Limitations

  • • Ignores capture/zone awards, bonuses, and boosters unless reflected in your averages.
  • • Not a full economy simulator.

Repair break-even for War Thunder lineups

Enter expected repair, ammo, average SL per kill, and average SL per assist from your own recent battles. The calculator shows kills needed to cover that cost pile. Spawn points are a separate match resource — not an SL spawn fee.

A second death doubles the problem. Use Lineup Builder to see stacked repairs before you queue, and the Silver Lions calculator for per-hour economy across a full session.

Frequently asked questions

Should assists and kills be combined?
The tool shows kills-alone and assists-alone style targets. Real matches mix both; use your own averages.
Do boosters change break-even?
Only if they change your average SL per kill. Paste realistic post-booster averages when that is how you play.
