France is far the best currently. The Leopards doesn’t add much for a solid line-up with four Leclercs, Dassault Rafale C F3 and the ItO 90M,
Japan in second due to the capabilities of the Type 10 MBTs and with the assistance of Thai air vehicles and few other Japanese airplanes,
Sweden for the Strv 122 series, easy to play and effective secondary and air vehicles to play, like the JAS 39 C and CV 90 120.
Israel for equally balanced ground vehicles and air vehicles, Merkavas are very mobile for how much armor it has in-game with good gun handling,
For last USA, I barely played it in reality but from what I’ve seen in some matches, the close air support capabilies is really strong, not to say to the fast paced gameplay Abrams offer.
Believe me once you spawn one or two SU-34 any movement on the op team would reduced to burning verhicles. Your teammate just need to capture the points and the battle is over. In ground is the USSR lacking behind they counterpart like Sweden, France, Germany and USA but with superior airpower compensate a lot of the weak ground forces.
I’ve seen many games where an entire Soviet team spawns CAS to get mauled by a Rafale/EFT doing CAP, with them wasting essentially all of their spawnpoints.
However, I do get your point, but IMO I would prefer to play Sweden, Germany, and France as they have much more competitive tanks.
USSR is only strong as people say because they don’t help themselves, Dassault Rafale C F3 is currently the best plane balancing air-to-air and air-to-ground combat, Su-30SM is a big chunk of flying metal, surely is good but the Dassault Rafale C F3 is far better, the Su-34 is comparable worse than the other two vehicles when having a radar nearly effective as the Su-27SM, and the R-77 doesn’t really help his case, only overshadowed by the Kh-38MT.
My ranking was Sweden - USSR - France - Germany - US, but seeing CAS included I can’t blame people for choosing USSR as their number 1.
I mean they have pretty much the best CAS, the best SPAA, extremely solid helis, MBTs that are solid (easy to play and do well in, although not 2A7/122 level) and a solid support lineup.
Like I said, I still have Sweden over USSR, but I can see why people choose differently.
only the 2A7 and 122 are “much more competitive” than the BVM, the 2A5-2A6 and Leclercs are pretty close to the BVM in performance.
yep agree with that also ussr cas is way to unbalanced just had an match used 16 smoke grenades(was in the smoke) and guess what the kh38mt still went staright through my roof and then people compare agm65’s with kh38mt’s like no the agm65’s are pretty bad compared to the kh38mt’s
France, Sweden, Italy, Germany, USSR, USA, Japan, China, Israel, Britain
France has the best combination of MBTs (Leopard 2A6NL), CAS (Rafale), SPAA (ItO), and Helicopter (Tiger HAC)
Sweden has great MBTs, great CAS (Gripen + AGM-65), good SPAA (ItO), just lacks a heli but nobody plays Helis anyway lol
Italy has the best MBT in game, great CAS (EF + Brimstone or Hungarian Gripen), great support/light tanks (Centauro 120 or Freccia) and good helicopters (A129 with spike)
Germany has the best top tier MBT but lacks good SPAA and CAS is underwhelming. Made up for with best Heli in game slightly.
USSR has bad MBTs but made up for with great CAS, very good helicopters, and the best SPAA in game
The T-80 series are easy to use because you can buy them as prem verhicles facing 10.0-12.0 verhicles you learn on the hard way but gaining experience how to operate other T-serie tank from USSR tech tree if they want to grind them.
