Currently, what are the 3 best nations in GRB and the 3 worst that you have played since the update, in top tier
Best probably Germany, Sweden and US
Weakest probably Britain, Israel and maybe China?
(Italy use to be pretty bad but now they 1x Leopard 2A7 and the Arietes were made into very decent glass canons, they’ve scraped a slightly better spot, at the very least in terms of MBTs, they also do not have a single top tier SAM, which must suck, so overall they are probably fighting that spot with China)
What about France in all of this?
I think France is pretty average. Not the best MBT but also not the worst.
Lacking a decent top tier IFV (though its not the only one)
Does have a half decent top tier SPAA
Has the meta CAP and second best CAS jet in the game and has a heli with FnF AGMs.
So it has strengths and it has weakness. Id rank it maybe 4th or 5th. Which spot depends on how you want to rate Japan and Soviets
I share the same opinion as you.
Germany, Sweden and US/Russia. The last one depends on the player. Imo for a less experienced/worse player Russia will be more powerful, but in the hands of a more experienced/better player the US will take that third spot instead.
In the hands of a good player US top tier ground can absolutely change battles, their tanks are both fun and capable enough. However at the same time for a less experienced player the T-80s can be more forgiving and top tier Russian CAS can still be game changing even with the new AA.
I don’t think there is a “worst 3” anymore.
Arietes use to be bad before DM53 and a reload change, but now they’re honestly a bit better than Leclerc despite having less armor.
China has a great overall lineup.
France has a lineup of Leclercs that are M1A1 equivalent [the 11.3 one], as well as a Leopard 2A5NL and 2A6NL [which a Dutch man has illustrated are unique models to me]. While 11.3 equivalent tanks at 12.0 aren’t “the best” 12.0 is already heavily decompressed [which is a good thing] so I don’t know if I consider it inherently bad.
USA retains among the strongest if not the strongest since 2019.
I can’t speak for other stuff because I’m a MBT main, so I’ll just limit my list to those:
- S-Tier: Leopard 2A7V/2A7HU, Strv 122’s
- A-Tier: M1A2 SEP, Type 10
- B-Tier: Leopard 2A6/2A5/PSO, T-80BVM, Leclercs, Challenger 2E, M1A1
- C-Tier: T-90M, Challenger 2, 2 (2F), Ariete, T-72B3
- F-Tier: T-72B3A, Challenger 2 OES, TES
Obviously not set in stone, and there’s a few here that I haven’t played so their ranking might change if I did get the opportunity to play them a bunch.
Russia and Germany, as usual since some time. France and Sweden according to player skill, but lower because spaa and heli situation
Then the rest
