Because they just hard no sell their SPAAs. Even though they shouldn’t. So they basically can’t do a damn. And while their tanks are still good, their reload is atrocious. 6 second for an Aced crew. So most folks are stuck with 6.4 and often times longer.
That’s basically Russian autoloader speed. And goes up massively if you take damage. Meanwhile Japan has 4 second ones, LDIRCM helis, and now the KH38MT. And very similar tanks. In current days I’d honestly go with Japan. Even tho it has some painful BRs at times.
Thank you all for the answers.
So I guess i’ll go with japan or france, i imagine they have the same playstile (sniping/flanking)
The armor of the france tank is reliable or is just shit like japan? The are any major difference other than the 1 sec more reload time and a little bit more of armor?
its a little better but im sure you`ll never notice it.
If we only take top tier, they have similar playstyle and pros/cons. Tho the Japan has a better reload and France has at least some turret protection
For some reason they made the leclerc’s mantlet completely hollow, which seems a bit unrealistic having half of your turret protected by 30-45mm of armor, i’ve died to shermans penetrating the mantlet.
The best 2 are probably France and Russia. France takes more skill to pull off, but is more powerful. In the tank department, the Leclerc is one of the better top tier tanks with its 5 second autoloader and excellent mobility. I actually like it over the Abrams because of the turret basket. One underrated aspect is that France has 4 Leclercs and a 2a6 while Nations like Germany has only 1 2a7. For CAS, Russia is better because KH38s are just that much better, but the Rafale is better for CAP. The SPAA department is tied, but the fact that Russia gets Pantsir as its free SPAA is kinda broken
