Cool thing about China is it’s a mix of both USA and Russian tanks. Only downside is they lack any IFVs/light tanks for high tiers as well as SPAA. But low and mid tier pretty solid. ALSO they now get a F-5 xD
I love low tier china. rat tanks like the M8 LAC and the Stuarts, beefy firepower like the SU-76M and LVT-A(4) Zis-2, and a stable medium tank like the Chi Ha Kai
I made the genius decision to pick Britain as my first tree for both planes and tanks. Planes were awesome, but when I went on to tanks I was forced to learn FAST, I had an in depth knowledge on countering german tanks by tier 3
By the time you unlock every tier 3 British tank you could work as a mechanic on German and soviet tanks, you need to do surgery on those fuckers to get every kill and you always get one shot
As a Brit main, I was to mention two things. British anti air is a joke until the falcon, and secondly, the cruiser tanks which include the avenger and challenger (not the MBT) are not slow and actually comparative to the hell cat
Yeah the British can 100% be used for flanking as they have some really fast if not the fastest light tanks in almost every br e.g Concept 5, Rookiat and the Cromwell (which yes is slower than a couple light tanks but it will pretty much always be the first medium tank at the objective). Also the Churchill … its quite bad - it’s so slow with limited firepower and the armour just does not make up for it just like most of the British heavy tanks (except the Matilda’s - I bloody love those tanks). Another benefit to the British is that they get laser rangefinders quite early on with tanks that have a decent gun(FV4002, Warrior etc)
13:43 for some weird reason as a Japan main when I used the chinese Chi Ha Kai it actually performed better than the Japanese one Probably because you get on the team with the Soviets or the US
I'm new to the game and I think you have done a great work with this video. You're very clear but not boring. Please make nation guide for planes you're very helpful!

As someone who just started playing i absolutely love this series and It's nice having a video i can just send to my friends when they are starting to play.
While your cons about the British are true, what I have noticed (for me at least) it forces me to think about where I am going to move to, cos chances are that once I'm there, I'm won't be going anywhere else any time soon. The low armour really makes you think about your positioning and angling, not to mention a much higher incentive to research other tanks' layouts so that you can target crew and ammo. I've found these lessons invaluable when playing other nations at low tier. Playing British or Japanese sort of forces you to learn quicker to be effective, it certainly helps once you get out T1, you have been forced to learn lessons other nations haven't to the same extent. Also one rather important pro that you missed, was that every British tank comes with a kettle for tea (or coffee if you are an American on an exchange). Great vid, really enjoyed by his and part 1.
I just started playing warthunder 3 weeks ago and my friends (all 300+hrs) pushed me into starting with japan so we could play it together and now I'm at the ST-A3 in tier IV. It is really fun but can be really frustrating for new players because you get easily killed or one tapped, but if you don't snap fast when getting killed, japan is super fun
I love how he combines his analytical knowledge with the humor of almost every war thunder meme there is, it creates a perfect balance between memes and guides.
Can't wait to see part 3. I started War Thunder about 2 month ago and I reached rank 5 with Italy (love Centauro and Sidam 25 for AA) and rank 4 with France and Sweden. Never played other nations.
@@Lewd-Tenant_Isan Premium account and Battle Pass. If not, I think it is impossible to reach top tiers. Today, I am in rank 6 with Italy + Sidam 25 Mistral (rank 7), rank 6 with Sweden, only rank 4 with France because of cost repair Oo and rank 4 with UK Even I have a premium account, I am a medium player so sometimes I lost silver lions
The Japanese Ho-Ni I and II are amazing tanks! I consistently get 5+ kills in games playing them. There like the japanese version of the German Marders.
Idk about anyone else but Chi-Ha Kai was so much fun, early tier Japanese can be really frustrating with Ho-Ro and the likes but they can be really fun, because of your weaponry and that you still have decent mobility with Light tanks and mediums.
British experience: Tier 1 and 2: I can't pen shit and I get one shot by everything Tier 3 and 4: I still get one shot by everything but now I can pen things Tier 5 onwards: Powerful, but good luck with your silver lions boy Ps. Brit planes are the only reason to play Britain tbh
The 2 pounder you get in tier 1-2 forces you to surgically disassemble the enemy with your solid shot shells. Quite a painful process, but at least it forces you to acquire a good understanding of penetration for later tiers.
Im watching your videos cos they give me better ideas how to play without saying oh your in this tank you have to go here and do this... Ive played on and off for like 8 years or more and Im still learning!
Waiting for Italy and France, good video, but you did the Chi-Ha-Kai dirty, it has a stabilizer and good pen with gun depression and mobility, had a blast with that thing.
The Hampden TB is underrated as British CAS goes. It's a light bomber, but carries 4x 500kg bombs, individually dropped, and 2x 250kg bombs on the wings. Good enough for at least 5 kills if your aim is good. I've been using the thing way above its BR and it still does good work.
As a japanese player i can agree with some stuff. Tier 1 for me was fun because when I played it I was *experienced* and knew where most weakspots were. Tier 2 is good cause you got a good SPAA,Good TD with good pen and the Chi ha is a beast. Same goes for tier 3 other than the fact Chi Ri II is bigger than the Maus and the So-Ki isnt that good. Tier 4 is fun you got heatfs and the ST-A1 and 2 are interesting tanks with good reverse. Most dont habve armour but i have bounced or didnt take damage from most tanks. I got shot by a Jadgtiger in my Type 60 and he didnt even do damage to me. You will get pen by most planes so be prepared to have spaa's. Still havent got tier 5-6 but for the most part its fun.
I started playing with Japan. I didn't like chi ha Kai but I loved Chi He. Now I am spring Chi Nu and it is even better than Chi He. And the Ho Ni 3 is amazing but the Chi Ha LG which comes after that is garbage because it has the same pen as Ho Ni even with a 120mm cannon. Also So Ki is good it can take out aircraft better than other japanese SPAA and it can kill tanks. Because it has no armor, shells fly through you and kill like 1 crew member.
I started with Japan as my first nation and i am currently at 6.7 grinding all lines except AA and it was pain. After starting britain sometime later i wondered why i hated low br japan so much while complaining about the lack of APHE in british tanks then i tried a round with reserve and 1.0 Tanks from Japan again and i remembered while you might have APHE they first have to pen the enemy to be useful.
The Comet and Challenger are quite mobile actually, specially when you will be fighting German cats most of the time, you can almost play them like light tanks.
I love japan. Driving around and flanking enemies is really fun with these powerful cannons. I'm only at 6.3 tho. Pretty excited to see how the Type 90 performs at top tier.
Britain is pretty fun even on later tiers, I grinded all the way to 2F and the only tier that was pain for me was the early tiers with practically no speed
i noticed you called the type 89 a decent ifv, bro i gotta say as someone who has easily 40+ hours in it, it’s pretty fucking amazing and i think you should’ve mentioned the hydropneumatic suspension but other than that great vid!
the cents do have decent armor and the cromwell chassis tanks have really good mobility the cents armor isnt fantastic, especially with the LFP, but its decent
Omg that explains things.... a noob here. I just started playing a few days ago Italy, and so far, I loved it. Japan is my second favorite nation, so here I go to alternate and play a bit more, and OMG Japan feels like I am just there doing nothing, is hard and I thought I was just bad but I mean I do well with Italy and for the worst part decent Japan in the other hand, Pain that's all I feel..... and I love their later tiers. It is just hard now....
The thing is for ALL low-tier British tanks....they have to deal with the German SPG age around 2.0+. Plus the PZ. III J1's are a thing, and they got some small-shields around their frontal. The British can't compete with them at all, I find it kind've hard since some of us are mainly armed with 40mms and 57's mms lol. I recommend playing low-tier British as a fast-flanker or support for heavier tanks since that's your only support you got or else you'll die.
After playing both Japan and France, I think the French have the worst tier 1 line up. The reserve tanks are abysmal. And even up to the Char B1 their cannons lack any real hitting power. The 47mm is entirely inadequate even point blank, and the only domestic low tier tank they have that is any good is the S35. And even then it's only because of the decent armor and mobility. It's an otherwise ineffectual fighting vehicle.
Gun carrier: average gun At 2.7 that “average gun” can pen almost anything and because of the size of it, it will almost always one shot light tanks and cripple heavy and medium tanks to the point where a follow up shot will do the job
lmao the british tech tree was the first one I started with and he says its not recommended for beginners. I can safely say he's right since I now play a little russia just to remember what having APHE shells is like. Also he forgot that there is actually one tank on the british tree with APHE; its the crusader. The crusader was amazing for me when i started war thunder and I'd say the same would go for any other British tanks beginner
I began playing war thunder in 2018 and stared with British aircraft. It was a nice experience so I went to the British tanks next. I struggled really badly and only just got used to how they play, but their play style is really nice
I played usa up to rank 2 and ended up not liking it because of the lack of Apc's, so i looked at all the nations and saw that britan had a good mix of light and heavy tanks, which was why i played it, i just hope the higher tiers are strong enough...
As someone who has played the Chinese tree and is currently grinding it, even as an experienced player I've been struggling with it. I think 7 is very generous for beginner friendliness, I would give it probably a 3 like Japan, but that's just my opinion
A Daimler can kill a panther pretty fine, of course before it loses a winning duel with a tiger by getting its engine shot by an m18 behind a bush and everything goes downhill.
I'm Britain main. Churchills and Cruisers are amazing.🇬🇧☕🇹🇷 Fun Fact: You don't need a tank to destroy Tier 1 Japanese🇯🇵 tanks, a 12.7mm machine gun is sufficient.
I wish I saw this video before I started playing War Thunder as somehow the two tech trees I chose to main and play on as a Noob were apparently aren't very beginner friendly. Now I am worried about British higher tier tanks when I reach them though one thing I want to say is that I disagree with the F rating for tier 1-2 Japanese tanks and I actually enjoyed it mainly for the speed, enough amour, gun depression, HEAT shells and from what I know, pretty good reload speed while the only thing I hated about it was the Tank Destroyer due to their slow reload speed, the type of shell they used and in the Chi-Ha's case, having noing protecting its crew making it annoyingly very variable from air attacks and flanking tanks armed with machine guns. Though not sure how valid my experience is because I just joined War Thunder a few months ago and I haven't played much of the other tech trees.
Ho-Ro is really good, not in 1.3br but in 2.7 because gets alwaus one shot and still one shots everything. Also no need to aim since it has HE shells that can penetrate 55mm of armor.
I also recommend going for the valentine tanks. The may lack in speed and mobility but they make up for it in their decent armor and cannon for their b.r.
I really love the Chinese tech tree, yeah sure they’re copy paste but they’re copy paste of very fun vehicles and have some SUPER unique lineups consisting of very good vehicles from each nation. Very fun nation
T3 Japan does not have best cannons. They face Jumbos, which are impossible to kill from the front using their 75mm. Your main advantage is having rounds that kill *if* they penetrate, but that's not possible with many tanks like the Jagpanzer IV/70, trolly panther mantlet, and even hetzer. Jumbos, Churchill's, KV220s, and many other targets will give you bouncy troubles.
Agreed, I love the jp tanks but they definitely struggle against some targets like you mentioned, ho-ri especially is just absolutely awful in every regard from experience but in the video he says it is great, which confuses me as it is by far my least favorite Japanese vehicle.
Of course Gaijin adds South Africa right after I make the video -_-

I love japan. Driving around and flanking enemies is really fun with these powerful cannons. I'm only at 6.3 tho. Pretty excited to see how the Type 90 performs at top tier.
Britain is pretty fun even on later tiers, I grinded all the way to 2F and the only tier that was pain for me was the early tiers with practically no speed
i noticed you called the type 89 a decent ifv, bro i gotta say as someone who has easily 40+ hours in it, it’s pretty fucking amazing and i think you should’ve mentioned the hydropneumatic suspension but other than that great vid!
My bad, forgot about the suspension. Thanks anyway though :)
My three favorite trees are all grouped together last D:
1:30
Sad Archer noises(also Achilles as well)
Crusader II and III are such good tanks
1:50 Amazing wording right here...
My first time playing war thunder I started with the British tank tier and still enjoy play them for the South African tanks
Bruhhhhhhhh, the ctrl, C and V on China's intro! I'm off to hell for laughing at that one!😂😬
Cant wait till part 3 because 2 of my favorite trees are the French and Italy
I have waited for this
the cents do have decent armor and the cromwell chassis tanks have really good mobility
the cents armor isnt fantastic, especially with the LFP, but its decent
Omg that explains things.... a noob here. I just started playing a few days ago Italy, and so far, I loved it. Japan is my second favorite nation, so here I go to alternate and play a bit more, and OMG Japan feels like I am just there doing nothing, is hard and I thought I was just bad but I mean I do well with Italy and for the worst part decent Japan in the other hand, Pain that's all I feel..... and I love their later tiers. It is just hard now....
The thing is for ALL low-tier British tanks....they have to deal with the German SPG age around 2.0+. Plus the PZ. III J1's are a thing, and they got some small-shields around their frontal. The British can't compete with them at all, I find it kind've hard since some of us are mainly armed with 40mms and 57's mms lol. I recommend playing low-tier British as a fast-flanker or support for heavier tanks since that's your only support you got or else you'll die.
After playing both Japan and France, I think the French have the worst tier 1 line up. The reserve tanks are abysmal. And even up to the Char B1 their cannons lack any real hitting power. The 47mm is entirely inadequate even point blank, and the only domestic low tier tank they have that is any good is the S35. And even then it's only because of the decent armor and mobility. It's an otherwise ineffectual fighting vehicle.
Crusader flanking is beautiful
Gun carrier: average gun
At 2.7 that “average gun” can pen almost anything and because of the size of it, it will almost always one shot light tanks and cripple heavy and medium tanks to the point where a follow up shot will do the job
lmao the british tech tree was the first one I started with and he says its not recommended for beginners. I can safely say he's right since I now play a little russia just to remember what having APHE shells is like.
Also he forgot that there is actually one tank on the british tree with APHE; its the crusader. The crusader was amazing for me when i started war thunder and I'd say the same would go for any other British tanks beginner
Japanese tree = Chi Nu 2 is what you will use to grind the whole nation.
I began playing war thunder in 2018 and stared with British aircraft. It was a nice experience so I went to the British tanks next. I struggled really badly and only just got used to how they play, but their play style is really nice
such professional, much wow
Thx for these vids especially the one on rounds ive been playing war thunder for about 3 years now
True CAS lineup for Japan that you'll use. B5N2 with 800kg HE bomb -> B7A2 with same bomb -> Fighters with Big rockets for example A7M2
Best Rooikat ive heard in a video.
I'm a beginner, I started with UK tree for both air and ground, AMA.
I started with the United Kingdom at the beginning of the year, it was my first nation, and now I just have the first centurion
I memed HARD with the Type 98 AA truck. XD Killed half a dozen tanks with ambushes.
yes. Japan tier 1 was hell. my broken monitor confirms.
"Not very mobile"
"Shows picture of Avenger, tha speedy boi"
I mean..... it have shit turning rate
I played usa up to rank 2 and ended up not liking it because of the lack of Apc's, so i looked at all the nations and saw that britan had a good mix of light and heavy tanks, which was why i played it, i just hope the higher tiers are strong enough...
British top tier is quite competitive, if you know how to use the tanks they're quite good
so next guide in like what, 5 months?
😠
@@skDoger not like anyone plays Sweden or Italy unironically anyway
@@NikodemHild imagine playing Italy lmao
@@NikodemHild sweden is pretty good
@@tinchorb1340 lies
As someone who has played the Chinese tree and is currently grinding it, even as an experienced player I've been struggling with it. I think 7 is very generous for beginner friendliness, I would give it probably a 3 like Japan, but that's just my opinion
Ikr the repair costs high af and the 5.7 lineup is pure pain against germany and the US
To prove the terrible armor on the st tanks I actually killed one with a locust that used up a ton of snail luck.
A Daimler can kill a panther pretty fine, of course before it loses a winning duel with a tiger by getting its engine shot by an m18 behind a bush and everything goes downhill.
Bris: If you're lookinf for fun
Me mainly Brit and swede: Where's the bloody fun m8?
Waheres the fooking fun yea m8
I'm Britain main. Churchills and Cruisers are amazing.🇬🇧☕🇹🇷
Fun Fact: You don't need a tank to destroy Tier 1 Japanese🇯🇵 tanks, a 12.7mm machine gun is sufficient.
I wish I saw this video before I started playing War Thunder as somehow the two tech trees I chose to main and play on as a Noob were apparently aren't very beginner friendly. Now I am worried about British higher tier tanks when I reach them though one thing I want to say is that I disagree with the F rating for tier 1-2 Japanese tanks and I actually enjoyed it mainly for the speed, enough amour, gun depression, HEAT shells and from what I know, pretty good reload speed while the only thing I hated about it was the Tank Destroyer due to their slow reload speed, the type of shell they used and in the Chi-Ha's case, having noing protecting its crew making it annoyingly very variable from air attacks and flanking tanks armed with machine guns. Though not sure how valid my experience is because I just joined War Thunder a few months ago and I haven't played much of the other tech trees.
Ho-Ro is really good, not in 1.3br but in 2.7 because gets alwaus one shot and still one shots everything. Also no need to aim since it has HE shells that can penetrate 55mm of armor.
"Move up to your allies"
bruh the British tank can move?
Either you go half the speed of sound or you can’t get out of spawn before the game ends
Thank you so much!!!
You are welcome!
I also recommend going for the valentine tanks. The may lack in speed and mobility but they make up for it in their decent armor and cannon for their b.r.
In my experience the val’s have very inconsistent armor that doesn’t work 85% of the time.
yea the valentine 1 is indestructible in a downtier but in an uptier you bettet angle
The man is back
You said rooikat right, love this
Just in time, wanted to return to the British tech tree
Yes we need this
I really love the Chinese tech tree, yeah sure they’re copy paste but they’re copy paste of very fun vehicles and have some SUPER unique lineups consisting of very good vehicles from each nation. Very fun nation
Then recommend a lineup for 5.7 please, because I rage quited china due to the fact Germany and the US eat chinese tanks for breakfast at 5.7
@@mexicobasado8177 2 years late but, all the 5.7 vehicles are great:
Both T-34s
M18 and M36
ISU-122
SPAA T-34
All are best of USSR and USA techtrees.
You don’t get the first 17 pounder at the firefly,it’s actually at 4.0 with the Achilles
Actually it’s the Archer at 3.0.
*sad archer noises*
T3 Japan does not have best cannons. They face Jumbos, which are impossible to kill from the front using their 75mm. Your main advantage is having rounds that kill *if* they penetrate, but that's not possible with many tanks like the Jagpanzer IV/70, trolly panther mantlet, and even hetzer. Jumbos, Churchill's, KV220s, and many other targets will give you bouncy troubles.
Agreed, I love the jp tanks but they definitely struggle against some targets like you mentioned, ho-ri especially is just absolutely awful in every regard from experience but in the video he says it is great, which confuses me as it is by far my least favorite Japanese vehicle.
3:38 Pov: Boris catches you not social distancing...
No Armor + Cannon salvaged from the fucking Yamato
Glad I picked Britain as my first nation >.
