Hi guys. Do you recommend China air tree and ground tree? Do you think is worth it?
Not really.
Haven’t really play China air but for ground its mostly meh with a bunch of copy pasta untill u reach rank 5, that is where it get good.
What have you played so far?
Have you ground out an entire tree yet?
What BR’s do you mostly enjoy?
Why do you play? (like do you try to be the best in the team every match, do you play odd vehicles for the fun or do you enjoy historical vehicles, etc, etc)
It’s kind of hard to recommend anything unless i know what type of play you enjoy and have played so far :)
if you can stick with it till you reach around 8.0 ground and 11.0 air then yeah its pretty fun
Thank you for answering, answering your questions, I play almost all countries except Russia, Israel and China, on average I have the trees in Tier 5 and airplanes too, I ask about China because I heard that their helis are very good, jets, but In mbts they falter, I don’t know which nation to focus on and that makes the grind eternal I know it’s all about having fun but my goal is to reach top tier in everything no matter how empty it is hahaha but in a good nation with decent mbts, helis and jets to be able to have fun in the present and future. Clearly I like to be the best on my team but I’m not going to cry about being eliminated 2 minutes into the game either. I don’t play Russia for the Russian Bias, I love Merkava tanks but I know they suck, and I know China is copy and paste. You can see my statistics if you want any advice I would appreciate it.
oh if you dont play russia then you wont even notice the copy paste in china

If you want the grind to be a bit easier you can focus on one tree and reaching the top of it to unlock the research bonus ( Following the Roadmap: Vehicle Research Bonuses ) for all trees of the same type (if for example you have top Air vehicle in USA then all air trees get the bonus RP when you play the air vehicles in those nations). You get 5 matches per day, per tree, per nation.
The best tip here is to look for a tree that has fewer vehicles needed to unlock to reach the top. Some trees you can skip entire lines and still be able to unlock enough vehicles to progress. The USA air tree is an example where you can unlock the center line and the line to the right of the center to reach the AV-8B Plus and unlock the bonus rather quickly. The USSR ground is another one where you can unlock the two lines far left and right to reach the Pantsir and get the bonus (though the next major update might add vehicles that change this as Gaijin teased a new Russian anti air vehicle to be coming).
There are likely other trees where you can do similar things, look for how many vehicles are required to progress (in the circle to the left of the tree) and compare to how many you unlock in each line for each rank and you can find trees that are easier to reach the top with.
As for what tree to play in general it sort of depends on your playstyle for the ground trees, some nations favour more aggressive play while others have more of a “camping” playstyle.
For air it doesn’t matter much if you play air only but can matter for CAS in some BR ranges.
Honestly, the best trees to go for is likely USA, USSR or Germany as those are the biggest ones and mostly have easier vehicles to learn new mechanics in once you progress to more modern vehicles. Some nations (like Sweden for example) have odd vehicles that are way harder to play unless you know how to play them and have played the game for a while already and know the mechanics, i don’t really recommend those “odd” trees for new players but they are a lot of fun later on when you’ve played the game for a while and want some variety and something different and funny/fun.

so the point is to investigate a nation as quickly as possible in order to unlock the research bonuses?
If that is your goal then yes, that would make the grind in all other nations easier.
If you just like playing for the sake of just playing and don’t think about the progress then you can play however you like :)
The bonus was introduced for those players that played only one nation and didn’t start a new one because the thought of having to go through an entire three again felt to big of a task. So if you have reached the top in one tree then the other trees of the same type becomes easier.
Edit:
I forgot to mention something important, not all top vehicles in the trees give the bonus! Look at if there is an arrow below the vehicle that points to the bonus information at the bottom of the tree, if there is no arrow towards the bottom then that vehicle doesn’t grant you access to the bonus!
In USSR for example only the Su-30SM and Su-34 will unlock the bonus.

You should also realize this:
The research bonus applies only to free RP income, boosters etc. It does not apply to premium or talisman effects. So it is most noticable for free players. For paying players, it is just a tip on top.
