Tip: if you want a Phantom in a top tier lineup, use the F-4C instead of the F-4E, the F-4C has cheaper repair costs, while largely having the same air-to-ground loadout and access to CCIP (ballistic computer).
That is the absolute dumbest advice I have ever seen given... Take the F-4C that has no countermeasures, only carries unguided bombs/rockets. Instead of the F-4E which has CM, AGM-65 Maverick missiles, and TV guided bombs....
I wanted to play US and my friend with now over 10k hours suggested we play RUS. He said "do you want to have fun, or do you want to have an abrams?". Best advice ever 😂
Russia isn’t even that fun sometimes If there’s ANY elevation to the map you’re fucked thanks to no gun depression and around 6.7 your 85mm does basically nothing
@@j_tha_panther I started as russia, grinded up to tier 4 and I was hating it so much I bought 2 top tier premiuns just to get destroyed but I grinded fast the T72. now I started playing US and its been so much fun, I dont even bothered getting the M1 KVT or the M1 CLICKBAIT.
I am genuinely just confused. I know the average player is terrible but the US tree tanks are far from bad, the battle ratings aren't even up to date anymore since this video is years old
9:34 you know there's an m46 in the regular tech tree right? It's the exact same as the premium except for no premium booster. Also if you don't want to use the A2D-1, you can use the F-3D which is an amazing replacement.
I'm in rank IV of the u.s tech tree and just finished researching my first rank V tank(the M46) before watching this video, now I feel totally discouraged lol
After using Jumbo and facing t-34-85 and IS-1 and some kind of german tank, and killing one by one crewmate out of their tanks and them doing nothing to me, I realised, that the time of stalinium at this game was over, and the age of Democratium has begun
Regular M1 should be 9.7 IMO. Americans are definitely one of the big 3, but my opinion has always been that they are included only because of the sheer amount of vehicles they have meaning there is bound to be something for beginners, instead of actually being all around beginner friendly. Compared to the German or soviet trees I think America is actually fairly challenging and for that reason I think it is the better tree for beginners because it holds your hand less.
@@lucascarpenter4365 if the American M3 90mm had it's actually shells and pen values it would be less teethpulling, gaijin magiced out ~50mm of pen from the apbc (t33) and it also got a tungsten adps (that was used in WW2) that has something like 305mm at 500m
I started ground forces by playing Japan, it's still my main nation but it is objectively worse than US, USSR and Germany. Germany and USSR are the easiest nations to play, especially early on, but after having played Japan and got into US ground tree I can say the US tanks are in no way as bad as people say they are.
@@deadeyecpt.7765 i don’t think they’re bad but i do think they’re generally overtired in comparison. whether they are over tiered or the things the face are undertiered is a discussion to be had though
@@deadeyecpt.7765 Their pretty bad at 6.0-7.7 up to 5.7 and after 8.0, it gets pretty diverse in terms of tech and pretty fun. The main problem is German/Russian mains getting borderline coddeled with nonsensical BR changes, leading to alot of US tanks and aircraft being blatantly overtiered.
It is a useful thing to have two critical opinions that differ , allowing us to make an informed decision without forcing us to take one view a gospel. Furthermore, this series is the natural progression from stand alone vehicle reviews, and will be a welcome addition to Sako's content.
There is a boon to the row of identical M4-76s at tier 5. You gain the ability to create a full hangar of virtually identical tanks, allowing you to swing back into battle again and again.
Sako great vid and gj on starting on the American tree ! Some constructive feedback : In future videos could you include the vehicle icon/thumbnail (this includes vehicle name and BR) or text with the same details while you are talking about it ? This makes searching for a single vehicle through the long video easy (through the thumbnail while hovering) and will also give context to people who are watching this video in the future with potentially different BRs for the same vehicles. Thanks.
As an American main , you get heaps of variety (good too) at end game compared to any other nation but at that cost you will suffer from late 5.0 all the way up until 8.0
I couldn't handle 5.0-5.7 mid teir, but 6.0 with the m41a1 was magnificent, and i did fine before and after 5.0-5.7. Im at 7.7 and its great aside from the atgm hell that is Germany
Germany and Russia certainly are the two top contenders for "most AGMs fired in Warthunder", it's really annoying when you somehow match against both of them and all you hear is WIZZ WIZZ WIZZ of a Marder, BMP-1, and BMP-2 shooting missles across the map and hitting 3 of your teammates with an instant kill missile lol
I had battles in arcade where I killed 22 enemies from the flank when the M26 was new. The M82 round is so amazing at popping king tigers from the side…
@@felek092 can you tell me how i can angle or some shit so that i don't get clapped while trying to aim at their weakspots? Because while i have to carefully aim with my tanks they seem to pen me wherever they please to shoot, not a single piece of my tanks seems armored to their guns
@@davidtv2224 angle at around 45-30 degrees angle and for ex before you peek a corner you can TRY to reveal your extremely angled front armor, they'll bounce or shoot your track depends what tier ur at
I think that gaijen needs to do 1 of two things for the Americans. 1. They can move the German tree up a little in B.R 2. The better option, is moving all American tanks DOWN a little. I know I sound selfish, but I am speaking for all the American players. Facing German tanks is just not fun at all. You get penned by every single one and one shot every single time. People then say, oH tHen jUsT taKe yoUr StOopId JuMbo ouT thEn! But don't realize that once you get to 6.0, EVERYTHING can still pen you. At 6.0 every German tank can pen your SLANTED FRONTAL armor that is also ANGLED. And your tank can't do anything about it. America truly suffers the most.
@@pablo-os3xy Yeah that's true. I decided that I was not having fun like you said and stopped playing ground RB. I just started grinding the American aviation tech tree and it is going a lot faster and I am having much more fun.
to be fair, gaijjin doesnt have much to add in terms of tanks for the US, since the US mostly just went with "whichevers practical" since forever lmfao.
I love the shermans and am currently enjoying the T series of American tanks(just unlocked the T34) and I'd have to agree with what you said in this video it's not a tree for everyone but if you can master them, they are amazing vehicles consistently giving all the other nations a run for their money at least in my opinion. And I mean, muh Abrams one of my favorite tanks( I got to try the US, German and Russian Top tier MBTs at a friend's house and maybe surprisingly I had the most fun with the Abrams, yes even over the Russian Top tier MBTs)
I do love the American tech tree. While it does get outclassed quite a bit, it essentially makes the player learn how to exploit the weaknesses of other nations and their players.
M4a1, and M4a1 76 w i really like for shooting across the map up to 1000m or more at some points but at that point you need a lucky angle or really good patience
INterestingly, im having a blasst playing 7.3 with the americans now. My win rate is considerably higher than my 9.3 lineup. I have almost all the vehicles researched, except the m60s, and i sincerely believe that 9.0, 9,3 was the most frustrating fighting against G91s, radkampfwagens and leos 120.
rank 3 in 2024 has been a HUGE pain in the ass to grind through. premiums dont help because you're almost always uptiered. battle ratings make no sense and the T14 is a useless premium because of what it gets matched against. So rough.
Love this new series idea. Might want to update the outro for this series, since you ask what we think about the vehicle even though you didn’t go over a single vehicle but a whole tech tree. It’s a small thing, but it might be worth fixing.
17:10 For better or for worse, the M901 is no longer completely invulnerable when only exposing its turret. It can actually be ammo racked very reliably by shooting the missiles in the launcher, or even by shrapnel impacting the missiles in the launcher.
This pretty much explains all my struggles i have had with each ranks vehicles. And my line ups just so happens to use many of thses vehicles. Though I prefere a 1.0 point progressions for set-up s starting at 3.0 and up. Side Note: I avoided using the t32's because they share of many heavy tanks prototypes late and post ww2(The t32 I beleive was a 1945-1946 prototype). Too strong for things lower, but easy prey for the developing mbts above them. Also wasnt our heavy tank program kept alive after ww2 just to combat the Russian js's and the millions of potentially rushing t34?
Yes premium vehicles definitely help, however the reason the tech trees take so long to unlock is more people not being able to play for more than an hour at a time due to just getting fed up of getting destroyed by sweats within moments of getting into games, I used the premium A10 to grind the American aviation tech tree and it was an experience, fast but painful. Tanks I'm debating a premium however after playing for 4 days I'm now on rank 3, it's more play time than anything else, and getting the occasional really good matchup of chill players who play with actual strategy, if there's no concrete strategy there's room for error which 9 times out of 10 will happen
Been grinding the patton series(m47 & m48) every match was painful and frustrating as I wanted to perform. Now I know these tanks are bad. So, I am at peace with my poor performance. 😌
if u think about it, US vehicles were made out of practicality, and more as IFVs in WW2. Afterwards, America tried to specialize their tanks since they were spamming M46s anyways lol
super pershing is a really fun tank to play imo. great armour great firepower. it only lacks in mobility and reload speed. i usually only spawn it when i know i gained enough sl from my previous tanks to cover for the repair cost.
The 76mm M4s got hit hard by gaijoobs "balance" hammer. Ridiculously over tiered and repair costs are ball slappingly stupid. It's obvious they don't want people playing the damn game. Because they punish success as much as failure.
I would argue that 6.7-7.0 US is one of its strongest lineups... Lights or heavies both are good and the m26-46-47 play like mobile heavy tanks more than mediums
@@zohaibtariq7351 The armour and penetrations at about 5.3 to 7.3 of America especially the mid tanks are not good, but the American low tier and high tier are ok or even good. So it depends on can you play until high tier without getting tired.
@@zohaibtariq7351 Well, I am now trying several tree. As power and armour, German is the best for beginners. Soviet are also good. Swedish have great fire power and Italy have great speed with weak armour. The others like British and Japan also have some great armour and penetrations. If you still want to play America, play mid tanks before 5.3 then play heavy tanks after 5.3, or you can change to Israel after you have 6.0 American tank.
@@zohaibtariq7351 bit late but I fully agree with what April said. You suffer a lot at 5.3 I’m not done with it yet and I’m starting to play Germany with a tiger II and I have alot me fun with that tree. The US is not a starter tier it’s more like a second tier you grind after Germany or Russia
6.3 USA is also very strong. There is the T25, M26 and T26E1 trio and of course the mighty M41. In terms of CAS there is the F8F1B with 3 1000lbs bombs and 4 M3 cannons ( can pen panthers fron top) and the AD 4 Skyraider with excellent bombs and rockets.
I'd like to offer some constructive criticism: Please don't include premium tanks in a sample lineup for a beginner's guide. A beginner isn't going to be buying even 1/4 of those premiums, so the sample lineups you made only show maybe 2-3 tanks and 1 plane that are useable to F2P or beginner players. For example, take the 6.7-7.0 lineup at 9:33. You're essentially telling the beginner player that without spending $39.99 on the T29 pack and 20,470 GE on premium tanks and planes, their lineup should be the T34, the M56, and the P-51H-5-NA. That doesn't sound like a very good lineup to me. I know this video's over a year old, so perhaps it's time for an updated video showing what a good lineup is for each rank (and possibly each BR within that rank as well, ex. 5.3-5.7 and 6.3-6.7 would each get their own lineup in Rank 4). You could still include what the best premiums are for each rank, just perhaps list them after the F2P lineup (or you could put the F2P lineup side by side with a lineup that includes premiums too). Overall great content and I do appreciate the hard work that goes into your Beginners Guide videos, I just really wish that more WT content creators would keep the fact that most beginner players mainly use the F2P vehicles until much further on in their Warthunder career.
Other than Britain (reaching tier 4) I have reached tier 3 with America, Germany and Russia....and I know what Forrest Gump meant when he said "I'm tired. I'm going to go home now."
6:09, the repair cost for the f4u-4b imo doesn't make it an ideal choice for a fighter of its type. A p-51 or F4u-c would fit it better with less repair cost.
I still cannot understand how XM-803 and MBT-70 are currently any good. Sure they are quick but they have no thermals, no armor, no survaivability (who tf thought that putting every crew member into turret is good idea?), poor APFSDS, atrocious reload (KPZ-70 on the other hand has much better reload speed and it has same BR), their lineup is also whatever. To be honest, since Rank 5 it was pure pain to play USA tanks. I ditched them for now and try to grind Italians that consistently getting nerfed every update (poor Arietes...)
Rank 1: Pain Rank 2: Pain Rank 3: Pain Rank 4: Even more pain Rank 5: Pain and suffering Rank 6: Excruciating amount of pain Rank 7: Slow grind and lots of pain Rank 8: What have I done with my life
can you do a "should you grind the Starfighter"? I´m a about to unlock the german 104 and I´m not sure if its worth it to put my money into that. Love your Videos!
the question may sound silly but I am relatively new to this game. When you talk about adding planes to your deck, are you talking about Arcarde mode decks and do they have to be unlocked through the plane battles?
For Ground RB you need to directly place the planes into your lineup and spawn them like a tank. It's not a popup menu or the like, and so you do need to grind out the plane line.

Yall got the bruh but i got the methè mr whiter
The channel Intro is significantly louder than the rest. my ears hurt now
17:10 For better or for worse, the M901 is no longer completely invulnerable when only exposing its turret. It can actually be ammo racked very reliably by shooting the missiles in the launcher, or even by shrapnel impacting the missiles in the launcher.
Thank god I’m not the only one that thinks the jump to the m6a1 is despicable
Wasn’t the m3a3 Bradley out already
I ground out the entire American tree, and honestly, I highly regret it, I just reached rank 6 with russia, and I like it a hell of a-lot better
This pretty much explains all my struggles i have had with each ranks vehicles. And my line ups just so happens to use many of thses vehicles. Though I prefere a 1.0 point progressions for set-up s starting at 3.0 and up.
Side Note: I avoided using the t32's because they share of many heavy tanks prototypes late and post ww2(The t32 I beleive was a 1945-1946 prototype). Too strong for things lower, but easy prey for the developing mbts above them. Also wasnt our heavy tank program kept alive after ww2 just to combat the Russian js's and the millions of potentially rushing t34?
French next please!!!! So many people don’t understand how French stuff work.
Just had a vontaur kill six players in one carpet bomb followed up by another six in the second
Sounds good
Yes
Thanks, Very helpful.
I like how in rank 4 he acts like we are made of money
Another good video to watch during breakfast
I need more of this
where is the m41a1
This makes me feel bad about grinding to rank 3 in USA.
Yes premium vehicles definitely help, however the reason the tech trees take so long to unlock is more people not being able to play for more than an hour at a time due to just getting fed up of getting destroyed by sweats within moments of getting into games, I used the premium A10 to grind the American aviation tech tree and it was an experience, fast but painful. Tanks I'm debating a premium however after playing for 4 days I'm now on rank 3, it's more play time than anything else, and getting the occasional really good matchup of chill players who play with actual strategy, if there's no concrete strategy there's room for error which 9 times out of 10 will happen
Been grinding the patton series(m47 & m48) every match was painful and frustrating as I wanted to perform. Now I know these tanks are bad. So, I am at peace with my poor performance. 😌
id even say the m46 is much much better than m48
Get the magach 3. it helps with the grind.
Personally I'd say the Patton's are pretty good. Better than the 76 Sherman's imo
Im waiting for the French tech tree : the best but the more expensive ( tier 4 oof )
You gotta agree, no matter how high you go in br, there will be one poor soul using the m22😂
It's a force to be reckoned with😂
M4a3 (105) is underrated, I got 2300 in my first game with it. Keep in mind this is a 105mm on a jumbo chasis at 3.0.
It's not a jumbo chassis my friend...
I don't even play the game but I love these videos.
I am at 5.7 in the American tech tree and depression is an obstacle that can be bounded by american mains once you get through it you can make it
Top tier is great; it's just the 5.7-8.7 grind that is horrifying
As a wehrboo, i can confirm U.S ground vehicles are the easiest to use.
if u think about it, US vehicles were made out of practicality, and more as IFVs in WW2.
Afterwards, America tried to specialize their tanks since they were spamming M46s anyways lol
Me who just got into tier 5 hoping it’d be good
My advice is to avoid the Super Pershing completely. That thing is pain mentally, physically and financially
Glad it wasn't just me that thought that. I am starting to like it more now that I'm not a noob though.
I like the super pershing when it's top br but up br not I don't touch it
super pershing is a really fun tank to play imo. great armour great firepower. it only lacks in mobility and reload speed. i usually only spawn it when i know i gained enough sl from my previous tanks to cover for the repair cost.
Yeah, the super pershing is good as an anti-Tiger 2 H tank, but it's more of a placeholder that you use until you get the T34.
e1-1 pershing is actually goated, the e5 is fucking dogshit
The 76mm M4s got hit hard by gaijoobs "balance" hammer. Ridiculously over tiered and repair costs are ball slappingly stupid. It's obvious they don't want people playing the damn game. Because they punish success as much as failure.

Thanks! Good tutorial.
17:30 What is that BT-5 doing there? Lol
You forgot to mention that playing American heavies around 7.0 gets you broke
I would argue that 6.7-7.0 US is one of its strongest lineups... Lights or heavies both are good and the m26-46-47 play like mobile heavy tanks more than mediums
This is maybe the best WT vid I've watched.
Not yet😄
Hehehehe I chuckled when you said workable armor
I choose America as a beginner, after few years, I gave up now
why??? I am new player and I have chosen america too can you tell what is bad with american tree??
@@zohaibtariq7351 The armour and penetrations at about 5.3 to 7.3 of America especially the mid tanks are not good, but the American low tier and high tier are ok or even good. So it depends on can you play until high tier without getting tired.
@@apriljoke1357 Which tree are you playing now??
Can you tell best tree for beginners
@@zohaibtariq7351 Well, I am now trying several tree. As power and armour, German is the best for beginners. Soviet are also good. Swedish have great fire power and Italy have great speed with weak armour. The others like British and Japan also have some great armour and penetrations. If you still want to play America, play mid tanks before 5.3 then play heavy tanks after 5.3, or you can change to Israel after you have 6.0 American tank.
@@zohaibtariq7351 bit late but I fully agree with what April said. You suffer a lot at 5.3 I’m not done with it yet and I’m starting to play Germany with a tiger II and I have alot me fun with that tree. The US is not a starter tier it’s more like a second tier you grind after Germany or Russia
6.3 USA is also very strong. There is the T25, M26 and T26E1 trio and of course the mighty M41. In terms of CAS there is the F8F1B with 3 1000lbs bombs and 4 M3 cannons ( can pen panthers fron top) and the AD 4 Skyraider with excellent bombs and rockets.
It gets uptiered to 7.3 95% of the time now that the Leo 1 and T-54 were downtiered
@@SAKOSNIPER Yeah. Its really hit or miss. Gaijin fucked up again
why sb2C-1c, not the next one? its better and has rockets?
I'd like to offer some constructive criticism: Please don't include premium tanks in a sample lineup for a beginner's guide. A beginner isn't going to be buying even 1/4 of those premiums, so the sample lineups you made only show maybe 2-3 tanks and 1 plane that are useable to F2P or beginner players.
For example, take the 6.7-7.0 lineup at 9:33. You're essentially telling the beginner player that without spending $39.99 on the T29 pack and 20,470 GE on premium tanks and planes, their lineup should be the T34, the M56, and the P-51H-5-NA. That doesn't sound like a very good lineup to me.
I know this video's over a year old, so perhaps it's time for an updated video showing what a good lineup is for each rank (and possibly each BR within that rank as well, ex. 5.3-5.7 and 6.3-6.7 would each get their own lineup in Rank 4). You could still include what the best premiums are for each rank, just perhaps list them after the F2P lineup (or you could put the F2P lineup side by side with a lineup that includes premiums too).
Overall great content and I do appreciate the hard work that goes into your Beginners Guide videos, I just really wish that more WT content creators would keep the fact that most beginner players mainly use the F2P vehicles until much further on in their Warthunder career.
Other than Britain (reaching tier 4) I have reached tier 3 with America, Germany and Russia....and I know what Forrest Gump meant when he said "I'm tired. I'm going to go home now."
I just started grinding USA and I’m on rank 2. The Sherman’s are pretty fun so far
I finished my 10.0 lineup 🤑🤑🤑
6:09, the repair cost for the f4u-4b imo doesn't make it an ideal choice for a fighter of its type. A p-51 or F4u-c would fit it better with less repair cost.
i've discovered sako just complains a lot
Console gets an exclusive Corsair at 5.7 with a low rebuy and the premium boost
what should i do im at american 6.7
I still cannot understand how XM-803 and MBT-70 are currently any good. Sure they are quick but they have no thermals, no armor, no survaivability (who tf thought that putting every crew member into turret is good idea?), poor APFSDS, atrocious reload (KPZ-70 on the other hand has much better reload speed and it has same BR), their lineup is also whatever. To be honest, since Rank 5 it was pure pain to play USA tanks. I ditched them for now and try to grind Italians that consistently getting nerfed every update (poor Arietes...)
3.7 american is so good
Very very informative
Gaijin really suck at balancing those mid tiers.
Rank 1: Pain
Rank 2: Pain
Rank 3: Pain
Rank 4: Even more pain
Rank 5: Pain and suffering
Rank 6: Excruciating amount of pain
Rank 7: Slow grind and lots of pain
Rank 8: What have I done with my life
bro wtf you doin at 14:32? tryna get beat up or somethin ??
anyway nice vid tho, subbed !
Rank one lineup:
Manages to put 2 rank 2's in it.
So?
It fits the BR range
Quick guide to American tech tree:
Suffering
can you do a "should you grind the Starfighter"? I´m a about to unlock the german 104 and I´m not sure if its worth it to put my money into that. Love your Videos!
Top 5 reason why I love American tech tree
1 . *OIL*
2. *FREEDOM*
3 *SPEEEEEEEEEEEEED*
4. *MOAR
5 *MURICA*
this video is very well done.
the question may sound silly but I am relatively new to this game. When you talk about adding planes to your deck, are you talking about Arcarde mode decks and do they have to be unlocked through the plane battles?
For Ground RB you need to directly place the planes into your lineup and spawn them like a tank. It's not a popup menu or the like, and so you do need to grind out the plane line.
I did enjoy that US amphibious tank :D Crossed a river in it and surprised some enemies, lol.
Nice one!
