Generally, Russia is a pretty good nation all around. There are definitely some places where is struggles, but it is pretty good.

Also it is pretty user friendly, so you shouldn’t need all too much help. But there are plenty of YouTubers like Defyn, Thecodmineman, etc. They all have videos on Russian vehicles and lineups.

Also quick tip, I encourage you to use periods

what do you mean with periods?

Those, the entire OP paragraph didn’t have a single sentence and for me it was kind of hard to read at first because it is just a blob of text without any breaks

Tanks are great from reserve up to 10.3. WW2 tanks are great, and Cold War tanks are great too, but at top tier it’s kind of boring because the tanks have poor mobility and gun depression. Otherwise, it’s all okay.

haven’t played WW2 Russia that much, so I can’t really say anything about it. But Cold War jets are damn good. Their guns are kind of shit, but if you play them right, no one can catch you. Top tier is also great, and CAS is kind of OP.

No idea , heli grind is too painful

Good all around. Have some rough spots but you really can’t go wrong with USSR/Russia especially if you want planes, tanks and helis.

The grind will take a while because the tech tree is huge, but the tanks themselves are quite good. It’s so funny when you kill someone and they keep saying something about “Russian bias” lol

the probkem with heligrind is, you want for top tier ( 9.0) helis, but you also want to grind tanks/planes. But you can resarch helis by tanks. But how? you need to finish tank tree, air tree, and the time when your fisihed, you dont wont to play helis anymore. But teh heligrind is actaully easy like tanks, if we forget about grinding actaull tanks

This is probably one of the only problems on their jets, except roll rate on something like a MiG-15.

I swear to God though, the GSh-23L has to be the WORST airborne firearm of all time. What person thought a water gun was a good idea to shoot down planes, and then on top of that put it on almost all Soviet aircraft

Not so sure about this…several russian tanks have some “quirks” sometimes like low depression, “low” mobility and higher reloads…which make it less user friendly. You can play russian and have fun for sure…just a friendly warning that some tanks need patience to use…

Thanks for this warning

Well the gun depression thing isn’t all too big of an issue and the mobility only becomes and issue at 8.0+

Infact their WW2 tanks have really good mobility, like the KVs, T-34, and IS (to an extent)

Glad to be of help, enjoy your grind (if you can lol)

I prob will enjoy I enjoy Russian vehicles also do you recommend any youtubers or youtube clips that help me know how to play Russia

Don’t research the tree past 9.7 in ground, unless you have Mi-28NM and Su-30SM. Otherwise, it is a waste of time as most of the tanks are straight garbage until 12.0 with the BVM.
