When i started to play warthunder and picked sweden i thought that sweden sucked until i got the BT-42 and Strv-42. Edit: Strv-42 can mostly penetrate most things in it’s tier with some decent armor.
In my opinion USSR are struggling with gun depression and long reload. USA with low pen and mediocre armor but have stabs. Germany no stabs as USSR good gun good pen more for sniper play style. I would suggest go with Germany or USA
I disagree, don't pick germany ad a new player. Sure, the tanks are good but every new player picks germany. You will loose a metric shitton of games because of that.
but if you master the ussr tanks you can just snipe the weakspots of tanks and instakill them and you also dont really have to worry where to aim with aphe when you flanked an enemy
This goes amongst all nations (Except Israel) I would Highly recommend that you remain around 5.0 / 6.0 Tiers to effectively enjoy War Thunder to the fullest. In my opinion I Main USA and I've learned that USA is best for Strategic Ambushing. Because USSR & Germany tanks are horrendously weak on their side armor & some are very slow. - Best way to deal with Tigers & Panthers, DO Not fight them head on and flank around... Their turret speed are Awful and side armors are weak as Germany is known for their sniping capabilities and High Caliber rounds that are able to penetrate any Armor (Except for the MAUS) Maus can only be penetrated by Hyper-shot calibers. USA suffers as their penetration is not as optimal so HESH or HEAT rounds are best solution against them and don't go for the Kill... Just disable their tank and keep them at Bay the best you can without getting destroyed yourself. - USSR VS USA ~ Frankly I believe USSR tanks until you get the IS-1 - IS-6's tanks are likely going to cause you biggest problems. However USA is capable of penetrating majority of the USSR tanks as they are not designed as "Sturdy" as American tanks such as the Famous Sherman tanks. They pack a wallop and can easily penetrate frontal Armor plates on USSR tanks. But in Contrast USSR has better Caliber HEAT rounds. Germany VS USSR: Depending on the tank both nations go against each other quite Balanced as their tanks are equally matched in some regards... But both nations are likely to team up with the opposing teams. (But I have a better opinion below). Personally, Just take the time to learn about your strengths and weakness's for example... The best Caliber shot for USA tanks is the M67 Shell. It's Aerodynamic and capable of penetrating side armors of any tank it doesn't matter what and because of the compartment depending on the tank it will guarantee kill if you try to aim for Ammo or side shots. There is a problem with USSR & Germany tanks. They are heavy hitters and pose a balance and yes I agree it is annoying that people spam the vehicles such as the MAUS... One match I got into had over 5 Maus's and absolutely dominated the gameplay... Rendering the game not enjoyable. (This is why I wish that Gaijin would revaluate what tanks you can take out than just willy nilly).
My first nation was Great Britain and I'm still maining that nation. Pretty fun but it punishes the player with not having the explosive filler Update: Britain has defence??
level 14 gives better info to beginners than gaijin itself. i got an abysmal amount of hours and waaaayy too much money spent and i couldn't agree more with most things said. BUT the key to getting better as a beginner is not just the nation you've chosen , the most important things are positioning, shot placement, knowing what your tank/plane is best at and knowing the map, which will only come through playing the game (and DONT BUY PREMIUMS, ITS A TRAP TO ROB YOU OF ALL YOUR MONEY)
@@Spartacus1134 haha thanks. Yes gaijin don't really have a good tutorial for new players. So that's why I share my experience with other beginners. And what you say is totally correct.
German main here, definitely germany. Dont liste to the "germany suffers " what we do suffer from is over powered guns. They take skill to master but once you catch enemy weak spots. Germany definitely takes the spot
I think that Swedens the best currently because the rat tanks in their tree are top tier but I will admit Sweden 8.0 sucks like it’s bad besides vidar but the fact that their low tier tanks get sabot and the sav 20.12.48 just make it built different (side note) I thought the Sherman stabilizer worked up to like 32 after spookston but reported it.
@@Thinkpancakes Sweden is good yes, but for a new player who never played it and want to give the game a try I personally recommend Germany. And I think some stabilizers are different, because I had a tank that only work up to 22kmh, but most of them are 25kmh.
I disagree, honestly. the cheese wedges are hard as hell to kill and deadly when hull down. the VIDAR is great, and the uparmored/gunned cent they have can do a lot of work. purchase both the strv 103-0 and VIDAR and 8.0 becomes a money printer lineup akin to Sweden or Russia 10.3/10.7.
if i didn't belived in that bullshit of starting up with ussr becuz it was the "best toptier", my god. germany is much easier to play since it has very good firepower and somewhat good armor at longe ranges. point and click most of the time
@@ShotTanker usa is a solid choice. And I like the Thumbnails theme. But I'm making changes to my channel in a few days where I won't be doing that anymore haha
for new players, (i am a so called more experienced player and i have 1000 hours in the game): 1. don't spend your money on top vehicles and don't bother to get to the tiar - big i understand maybe you dream of buying or getting to such a vehicle but believe me you don't want to, the bigger tiar's take an extraordinarily big experience to get used to, any mistake is punished with your death, it doesn't really matter if you have an ambrams or any other vehicle all mbt's are destroyed equally fast and you have to shoot in the same place to destroy it, mbt's have projectiles with exorbitantly high speeds and have thermal cameras and stabilizers at enormous speeds so if you come out of cover and are exposed to an enemy you are finished. - learn the places with little armor on tanks with a lot of armor (phanter, tiger, jumbo etc) you can see where to shoot in the protection analysis section, it appears when you see your tank's armor (under the tank specifications table) - turn on the sound in the game and turn your engine to minimum so you can engine the vehicle, it's like cheating many players don't pay attention to the sound or listen to music while playing. - don't take all your bullets at the beginning of the match, believe me you won't need that many (you can reload your weapons from strategic points) - don't leak secret documents. - enter with friends or alone in a match from "custom games" and learn the maps (many maps have open places that are good to avoid,) this way you can learn routes that enemies take, good places to snipe, and others. - in the game there is no Russian bias I give stalinum, germanium etc as in this video each country has its advantages, but beware of all nations except russia, germany and usa. - learn bullet types it will help you enormously. - look at how other players play (you can see the games played in the game). - do not leak classified documents, - if you have armor this does not make you invincible, in the game especially players of German vehicles have the impression that their tank is invincible (there are no invincible tanks in the game all have weaknesses all can be penetrated frontally if you use the right type of projectile). - look around do not run from the first minutes of the game in the iamic territory alone, enemies can be anywhere. - do not leak classified documents. - learn the tank you are playing in, take into account the map you are taking as a fast route, you don't want to end up in an open field full of enemy tanks surrounding them, - learn to flank (meaning go to the enemy team with a tank and take them by surprise) always put yourself in cover and be careful of your location. - when you are in an open field and you have fired once at the enemy (except if the enemy has crew members in sight or is a tank with paper armor and you have a caliber machine gun) don't shoot the machine guns at him, believe me you won't deal more damage to the enemy and in addition you give your location to snipers and planes, - keep your eyes on the sky, dying from a bomb is bad, so when you hear bombs, explosions or airplane engine sounds forget if it is from your team or not (this rule is also applied to helicopters for players who are higher in rank). - don't leak secret documents. - and one more thing that helps you keep your interest in the game for a long time, look at most vehicles in a teak tree, and forget if tanks are good or not, look at the specs on yt videos or you can watch players playing with them. that's about it.... there are many ideas but you can take them into account or not, and most of them are ground beteles, now an idea for German players if you have reached tiar 4 and have Ferdinand I noticed a bug or maybe it is intentional, in the game there are artillery tanks that shoot gigantic HE projectiles that can knock you down in one hit and Ferdinand is somewhat immune to such projectiles (if the projectile hits the front where the cannon is) there is the engine room which if you are hit the damage will only be a fire I am not alone if it is due to the thick walls that separate the room but it works so you can calmly attack such a vehicle (artillery) as long as you are immune..... (however if it shoots at the roof, on the side there are some plates above the tracks, or below you will receive damage)
Keep playing sweden or move to Germany that’s what I did and I started Sweden and Germany is really fun because the armor on their tanks is something you rarely get with Sweden
Comment down below what nation do you think is the best in War Thunder?
it's clearly france. totally not saying that as a france main
When i started to play warthunder and picked sweden i thought that sweden sucked until i got the BT-42 and Strv-42.
Edit: Strv-42 can mostly penetrate most things in it’s tier with some decent armor.

I have been playing war thunder since 2014 and let me say that new players don't choose minor factions at your first , go for USA or USSR or Germany.
