Hey guys is it true that many people get naive in War thunder when they can’t decide which nation to play for air and ground mainly so if you were to pick only one or which is best or easiest and what one would it be and why because many people like get naive with wondering which nation/s to play for only air and ground in only one nation.
For beginners i tend to recommend one of the big three; USA, Germany or USSR.
They all have solid choices throughout their tech trees for both ground and air without any major leaps or gaps in BR ranges, but as with any tree they are going to have BR’s where they have stronger vehicles and BR’s where they have weaker ones.
The smaller nations tend to have more unique vehicles that have odd playstyles and are often therefore harder to play and learn, but they can be more fun if you’ve already played a lot of the three big nations.
in general it’s good to climb one tree at a steady pace and learn all the new mechanics that appears at the different ranks and BR’s, there are some places where the new mechanics can be a bit hard to learn and usually slows down players progression due to the jump in required knowledge to play well. one of those places is usually around BR 7.0 - 8.0 where the complexity of tanks go up and you start getting into jets for air.
For ground i also recommend to not add that shiny new tank into your lineup as soon as you unlock it, the matchmaker uses the highest BR tank in your lineup when it matches you with others so if you still have lower BR tanks in the same lineup they are going to struggle while fighting the now even better and newer tanks. Save up so that you change out 3-4 vehicles at one time so that you have more vehicles for the new BR directly at the start of it.
But if you get stuck somewhere or wonder about any specific mechanic then the forum is a great place to ask players for help :)
Sidenote:
You also then have the research bonus waiting for you once you get to the top of a tree. The vehicles at the top that have an arrow after them down to the bonus will give you a bonus to RP when you play vehicles of the same kind (air/ground/ship/helicopter) for 5 matches every day and for every nation ^^

Thank you so much so you suggest the big 3 nations for air and ground
Yes, then which one of those three depends mostly on your playstyle and honestly what vehicles you think look the coolest ^^

I unironically recommend Britain. Yes, their vehicles aren’t the strongest, but they’re fairly well-balanced, and because of this lack of OP units in the tech tree, you might actually learn how to play the game. Also, Britain isn’t bogged down with a large number of gameplay-homogeneous vehicles, like the “big three nations,” which makes grinding her less monotonous.
To be fair the UK is also kinda big mainly with the air nation compared to Russia I think and their tanks ain’t the best but I just think Russia is a good option even if Russia has horrible gun depression and reverse speed I have tried Britain a bit and I’m okay at Britain
If you’re choosing Russia because of Russian bias, remember it’s only Russian bias when you play against them.

Not really Russian Bias I just like their tanks and aircraft

Yes, it’s also large, but not as monotonous (I’m specifically talking about the ground tech tree).
Grinding the USSR, personally for me, and I’ve grinded almost all tech trees sequentially, meaning not on top-tier premium vehicles, was extremely BORING because they all play relatively the same: you unlock a new tank and you don’t see any gameplay differences from what you had before. The vehicle just became slightly better, and the BR is higher. And… That’s it. Groundhog Day continues.
Good choice.
