I mean, you can buy prem time on warplanes which is the legacy premium all wg games except ships use that only has increase xp and credit income without the daily x3 multiplier.
I wish they built a campaign mode for this game. I think that would be quite fun. Having it to multiplayer so you and a couple buddy’s could fly the same campaigns.
While the top tier bombers are very strong and there are multiple overpowered special aircraft for the whales to sealclub free-to-play players, sadly it isn't unique. It isn't an excuse, but compare WoWP to other games in the genre.
WT had things like the Puma (started at 8.3, had to move up like 5 times; now in 10.3 and the Puma VJTF is 11.0!), while the Terminator's hull couldn't be penned by even the Yamato battleship's 460 mm giga-shell to only mention two examples.
WoT has the same problem: they released several tanks so overpowered, they had to remove it (the T18 had insane damage, basically impenetrable frontal armor, was also fast and sat in Tier II, scaring new players away) - this became such a problem that a WoT account now starts at Tier III and WT's entire game design changed after the Puma.
WoWP is still much more balanced than both and aside that the EF 131 is a Tech tree plane, so you could also play it for free (it only takes a few hundred games to unlock it), use Heavy fighters to combat them: the XF-90 is literally made for this and the Javelin has 1200 Hit Points for a reason.
I just lost intrest after I made my B17-G's equippable turret (I can't remember, what was it called) reach over 1000 meters. I could probably still squeeze out a good 100 meter of it, but it became so expensive, and the games gave so little silver, that I stopped.
Was fun until some people showed up. Getting shot down by the same person 5 sec after you get a kill on them, and see them fly by in a new plane. Makes the game just dead for new players. No new players, game dies after the cheaters get bored. People who like the game get screwed in the process.
I'm not happy. I'm sad. Loved it but it I don't argue it deserved it. No support. No new content. No new new maps. No new anything. But while I loved it, I LOVED it
It is quite unbalanced, but I still found it rather fun. Unfortunately, I lost interest in grinding resources in a dead-end game after the split. I don't regret playing it TBH, as I always had a liking for planes since I was a kid. Actually, after the economy split, I also stopped playing WOT, even though I have a lot of resources (3M+ free XP, 300M+ credits, etc.).
Game before last was victory at less points 627-65(?) but because the entire opposing team died, hadnt had that happen since 2022, also havent played much since 2022.
TL;DR: good in any plane, but with the circumstances it is great. Nice work!

Is ~20k Personal Points good?
It depends on the Aircraft, the Player and the Matchmaking.
In an Overpowered Specialized Aircraft using Premium consumables with a Player who flown Tens of thousands of games in a downtier; 20k is the minimum.
In a weak, non-upgraded Tech tree plane flown by a newer player? Very good!
In my book earning over 10000 Personal Points in a non-specialised tech tree Aircraft is always good and 14k (Winged Legend Medal) is very good. Seeing your performance there are only 2 relevant higher Medals: Marseille Medal - 17 kill in a single sortie (Air Defence doesn't count) and Ace (20 kills, but can be shot down), so you almost did everything. Also in that map camping is fine.
The Snowy Shore variant of the Periphreal Mission Map (the one you played) is the best for very high PP in the mid-tiers, because the bots priotitize the large sectors, it is harder to flip and you could get healed between attacks.
A bit more than a month ago I got 25k in the same map and another teammate got over 14k (we both camped the Airfield), so alone it could have been around 30k, but I flown a cannon-armed Multirole with 50% higher Gun Armament rating (and I played much more games), so again, 20k is very good.
Don't measure yourself to others who have a 10 year head start; simply try to be consistent and learn from your mistakes.
I constantly make new accounts and I tell you I wish I could have over 14k (not even 20k) in every game during grinding. The winrate is the same. I just finished two planes in another account like two days ago: it took me almost 50 games to upgrade and specialise the MiG-9 + unlock the MiG-15bis (without equipment or gold) with almost 70% winrate - I tought "damn I'm good" (I don't like LFs). Than I did the same with the Bf 109 Z in 30 games and I got sub 50% winrate...
If you allow me, seeing the planes you flown I also have some suggestions:
- keep the P-40 instead of the P-51A as the former is basically the same plane 1 Tier lower, with more firepower
- don't waste time attacking ground targets with the Heavy Machine guns in the P-51D as it is a High Altitude Light Fighter.
- if you want to do a little bit of everything (attacking Ground and Air), try the American Navy line or the British Multiroles (the low tier MGs suck, but from the mid-tiers the cannons are sweat, they are easy to fly and the Tier IX in the US (F-94D) and the Tier X in the UK line (Hunter) are good.
- the US Light Fighter line is very samy - basically every plane plays the same (great altitude, good manuverability and speed with weak Heavy MG weaponry), so if you liked the P-40/51A/51D, it will be more of the same, even at Top tier.
Although it was an all-bot game, you performed well!
The Akamatsu Medal means you did your job very well and almost never shot down; the Legendary Wings indicate that you contributed a lot on the battlefield, and the Guardian medal means that you defended very well.
However, having zero capture points means you haven't been actively involved in the attack, focusing primarily on defense. Perhaps in other battles you can try attacking other key positions. Attack or defend depends on the current situation on the field.
The T3 Blenheim is an excellent bomber. Try practicing on that. Try focusing on practicing more on tier 2, using planes like xp-31, shkas, i7, ar68 till you really get good. Personally I practiced on the ar-68.
That's a battle against bots only and it seems you are the only player. Also, most bots in that are average to bad at best given their pp and stripes. Hard to judge performance like that. A better yard stick is your own overall performance and how much it deviates from 50%. If you have a relatively high winrate, say over 55% over a few thousand battles, then I would say you're ok.
