I’ve been playing for 2 years. I spent forever grinding Germany and Russia just because everyone said they’re the best, but I’m bored to death. I started playing the Clickbait and Type 90 recently and it’s a total shift. My KD in the Abrams is 3.0 compared to 1.7 in the BVM, maybe because I’m actually enjoying the game for once instead of just grinding. That 4s reload on the Type 90 is just great.
I want to focus on either USA or Japan next for both ground and air but I’m stuck. For the US, I’m at 6.7 (have Clickbait, getting the AIM soon) and 8.0 air. For Japan, I’m at 7.3 ground (have Fuji) and 9.0 air (have F-2).
I like the F-2 but the AAM-4s feel like they rarely hit anything, I only get kills with AAM-3s. I also read about how Japan air tree has a variety but does not have decent toptier jets. I’m gonna grind both eventually, but I need to pick one to main first.
Which nation is more fun as a whole package, including CAS? I also play air sim, generally top tier and want to play F-15 in sim. So, my question is for both RB and SB.
TL;DR: Bored with Germany and USSR. Want to main USA or Japan for fun but can’t decide which lineup is more rewarding for both ground and air.
Japan ground has good top tier with the best reload but missing/bad armor. Even the Oplot is underperforming with ERA. America has better armored MBT with a better reload than the germans but it still has the turret basket nerf.
Grind Japan if you want to get a variety first or grind USA for the new Aim120D and soon to come F22. Domestic Japan is stuck with F15JM which I think is much better than the F2 for a while so USA will be getting newer not copy paste planes first. But AAM4 is a very good missile, how are you not hitting them especially with F2’s AESA radar?
USA for sure in sim, more bombs and stuff. In RB, Japan because it gets the su30 with KH38.
USA has more variety in ground than Japan. Japan has more variety in air but lacks in current meta. But still strong in 13.7 with F15JM. For ground it depends on if you prefer USA MBT with better armor and descent reload but lacking in cas or Japan MBT with thin armor but better reload and better cas.
Britain, France and Japan would be the best for variety compared to what youve already played imho. All three offer unique aircraft and ground vehicles compared to all other trees.
Thank you all for your response. The thing is, among the unique aircraft that Japan could offer me, the American ones already have better versions in the USA tree (I suppose). I think the only benefit of the Japan air is the SU-30 for CAS, which I already have in the USSR tree. So, I think USA makes sense to grind for air.
For the ground, I am more undecided. In Japan tree there is no light tank other than Type 16 for the top tier. But, it is easier to grind. The USA tree is huge, and it will probably take months to reach top tier, or at least 10.0+ br. But again, as I said, I want to grind both ground and air, and do not want to grind worse versions of US aircraft in the Japanese tree for only CAS.
While writing this message, I realized I’m probably more inclined to grind the USA tree. It’s just that its sheer size intimidates me.
This forced me to grind japan instead. I’m too busy with life and inpatient to spend more of my life on this lazy game. Though I will tell you I had alot of fun grinding Japan both ground and air after finishing Germany. My favorites in Japan are the type 16, F15JM, F2, Mig29N, and the type 60. I find myself playing Japan instead of USA because of its size. Once I get the TKX, I think I will start the grind for USA.
Actually, I can also grind first Japan and then play the USA while waiting for the M1A1 AIM to unlock. But again, the 3 K/D Clickbait (BTW, I have 2 K/D for Fuji) and F-15E for air sim are very appealing :)
That’s the exact same as me! I am one week away from unlocking it. The F15E is great for bombing in sim and the clickbait is very good at its br. You can do the same as me where you finish Japan first so that way you could spend the rest of your time grinding USA.
