Respectively my votes were Japan, France, Sweden, Italy and China, in my opinion Japan holds as best ground realistic battles nation due to the recent addition of Thai air vehicles.

Battle rating 9.0 Japan turned to be even stronger with the Thai Alpha Jet A when still having powerful vehicles like the Type 74 E/F, Type 87 SPAAG, Type 87 RCV and Type 89 IFV,

Not to say the same for the battle rating 8.3, battle rating 7.3 and battle rating 4.0 with vehicles like the Type 99, M47 Patton and M44 SPG, not the most numberous line-up options like the USSR battle rating 10.3 but very effective vehicles.

France follows in second with the line-up battle rating 6.7, battle rating 7.7 and battle rating 9.3 and battle rating 12.7,

CA Lorraine and Lorraine 40 T are good examples of how strong can French ground forces be, fast moving vehicle with fast loading cannon, in trade of armor, not to say for some other vehicles like the AMX ELC Bis,

The battle rating 7.7 is where French technology shines, AMX-50 Surblindé, AMX-50 Surbaissé, AMX-50 Foch are the big three of the French tech tree, balancing mobility and firepower in a single machine,

The battle rating 9.3 is not really known for the most strong and resilient vehicles, in this case falls under the same situation of Germany at this battle rating range, it uses the mobility and gun in favor to counter the lack of armor, the AMX-30 Super is a good example of this, yet barely armored, it’s a easy vehicle to use, I’ve managed to get a few Nukes with it,

Same can be said for the line-up 12.0, having four fast MBTs with equally strong weaponry and strong air vehicles like the Dassault Rafale C F3 being the second to first best close air support air plane shows how France been overshadowed by main options of nations by most players.

Sweden is one of the tech trees in-game that hides some treasures, the battle rating 8.7 is my favourite, having the earliest in battle rating close air support plane with ballistic computers for bombs with the SAAB-105G really shows how easy can be to get some points with, the Strv 103C, ItPsV Leopard 90 and the T-55M proves this fact.

Italy also has much to offer but is not experienced by many players, the battle rating 9.3 is an example of how cool and reliable Italian vehicles can be, the OF-40 (MTCA), Leopard 1A5, VCC-80/60, VBC (PT2) and Centauro I 105 is like France and Germany, yet poor armor, it has superior firepower compared to other nations in this battle rating range,

For last, China in my opinion is one of the most diverse tech tree in-game at the moment and by my votes, with most recent additions of latest Chinese vehicles made the tech tree even stronger but it always overshadowed by the problems players point everyday, the Al-Khalid I, MBTA-2000, VT-4A1 and VT-5 are few of the vehicles that shows the strong points in late Chinese technology,

The battle rating 8.0 also offer some cool machines like the M41D, Type 59 and few others with early technologies like laser rangefinding, thermal imaging and single and dual axis stabilization.

Wonder how this will change if only top tier is included.

Nothing would change much, in War Thunder my goals is not focusing on Metas, but how good the experience overall can be.

Obviously you would argue that Germany, Sweden or USSR is the best or something like that, it can be, but the experience overall is very repeating.

Yeah but Chinese reload annoys me so much, and the fact that u are slapped with CAS and u can’t do the same back is also annoying, less so after J11B but I haven’t gotten that yet. ALso just to say most BR ranges China is either copy and paste (US + USSR) or weak.

I just feel USSR not only has great strength at all BR range, but also the fact that it has a load of fun vehicles. From KV2 to 2S19 to Obj.906 and obviously the Obj.775, just such a diverse experience, same with CAS, su 25 dumping S25O is soooo much fun.

I said USSR, Germany, USA, France, Britain. Although I’m biased because those are the nations I play the most by far.
Comparatively I almost never play China, Japan, Israel, Sweden, or Italy.

You may think strong vehicle are fun but in my opinion the fun is vehicles few people plays, usually known for being weaker or unreliable, new experiences is where the fun is. But if you like to play essentially Meta, go for it, I’m not against.

I said USA over Germany cause Germany paid too much debt just for the King tiger BR. A load of relatively weak BRs in cold war. US is more spread out I think.

I did USSR SWEDEN GERMANY USA CHINA. I think that lower tier and high mid tier Sweden is slept on way to much and it has some really good vehicles.

Yeah but at most of the “higher” BR’s they have at least 1 very dominant tank. (Germany)

True. But the fraction of cold war is at least 1/5 and most BR it isn’t that fun, either late WWII just heavily armoured slow vehicles or fast light armoured in cold war.

Me personally I love 8.3-8.7 very good games and it’s pretty balanced too.

Germany is definitely the strongest country from 1.0-6.7. And Rank V is getting a lot better because of some of the recent additions. And Germany goes back to being amazing from 9.3 to top tier.

Honestly I could go either way between USSR or Germany being stronger. USSR has more consistent lineups but worse vehicles as a whole imo.

I think the big separation is the CAS lineup at all BR’s that is why USSR should be 1 becuase stuff like the Yak-9 is really good and then you have some broken early jets.

3.3 to 4.7 USA and Soviets.
5.0 Germany.
5.3 Soviets and Germany.
5.7 Germany.
6.0 USA (due insane adventage in CAS and movility).
6.3 USA and Soviets by far.
6.7 USA.

I would think germany but why USA?

Cause all the Tiger IIs are now 7.0 and the CAS lacks in comparison for the US.

They are 6.7, apart from 105.

The tiger 2s are 6.7 though. Also the Me 262 A-1/U4 is pretty good cas and it has have some really good CAP. Plus some crazy armored tank destroyers and a great light tank.

T26E5, Super Pershing, T34, M50, M56 and insane good CAS around 6.0 /6.3.
Germany is just Tiger 2… all the other stuff aroud Germany 6.7 is the mediocre M41 and useless and slow TD like Jagdtiger or Ferdinand.
USA is by bar more complete and polivalent in 6.7.
