What tree to grind (Ground RB)

[empty siren]

Russia may not be the fastest but it is fun and have good overall tanks.Germany also has great tanks but shit teams that lose every match so I say stick with Russia

You can also grind Italy to 6.3 to have fun

What about sweden ?

[mystic juniper]

USA, RU, GER, and SWE are the top four nations at top tier but they aren’t super quick to grind, especially the big three. China is a solid contender for a balance of good and quick with a lot of vehicles that you will have already played in usa/ru. Italy, Britain, Japan are good through the mid/high tiers when they start to lack a bit, Britain less so. France is a great tree but isn’t very beginner friendly due to solid shot as the primary rounds. I don’t know anything about the Israeli grind

Is the top tier of China any good?

I honestly don't know anything about nations other than US and Russia

How's the top tier situation rn? Last time i checked Russia dominated unfortunately

[tender snow]

Still this, most games go like: win the initial push, find a good spot to wait for the enemy tanks, entire team gets killed by ka50s/52s, 1/4 of the team leaves, 1/4 spawn spaa, 1/4 anti CAS fighters and get nuked by the couple of first spawn pantsirs, the rest of the team spawns tanks and gets decimated because pretty much the entire enemy team respawned

Tbh that is a worst case scenario

Damm

I think sticking with Russia might be the best idea for me

[mystic juniper]

Top tier atm is pretty Russian dominated. Great tanks, great cas, great helis, great counter cas, great spaa. That said, a lot of it is that good players want to play the pantsir and good players also have wanted to avoid playing against the pantsir. Has created a bit of a power vacuum atm. Usa is still very strong. If the players are good and have a lineup they can absolutely be competitive. Sweden and Germany are next up, great ground lineups, especially Sweden, but the ability to cas and counter pantsirs is lacking. China, Britain, and France are next up, all three have good tanks, solid spaa, and decent cas options but lack the support tanks in many cases. Italy, Israel, and Japan round out the nations with the three of them being critically lacking in one or more elements for being good at top tier

[tender snow]

I agree with this, up until the new update it was honestly fairly equal at top tier with a slight tip towards USA winning

It feels like all the good players have gone back to ussr for a bit

[ashen dome]

The Pantsir really messed things up, didn't it?

[limpid mirage]

Sweden is really good, but they suffer because they constantly face Russia and get bombed by cas for no reason.

Especially when I am having a bad game, I just lose mybsecond spawn to some random russian plane bombing/strafing me while leaving spawn

Russa can be really painful because of the lack of depression.

To me, Italy was a really fast and really fun grind up till 8.7

Their toptier is trash though.
If you dont care about toptier, Italy is great

[stray marlin]

dunno whats been said here (except im sure you have an opinion on sweden already from the amount of people talking about it), i've been grinding italy recently and I really enjoy it to be honest

i have 5.0 with the r3 t20 and the sherman tipo ic and the r3 is the funnest vehicle i've ever played

downside is from what i hear, italy top tier is very sub par, even with the new tank

i justy love wheelie boys
