Hi, with the sales finally here I’m looking to grab a high-tier premium pack, but I’m totally stuck between USA and USSR. Who’s actually doing better at top tier right now? Just a heads up, I’m only interested in the ground lineups — I don’t care about planes or CAS at all, just want to know which nation has the better tanks and overall meta for ground battles. Which one is more worth the grind for a tank-only player?(I have china 12.3 and germany 10.7)
For very top tier GRB, between RU and US, probably RU.
One big reason at the moment: Pantsir SM-SV.
And then you also have multiple CAS with the Kh-38MT. 4 of the RU planes can carry them.
And their top heli with fire and forget ATGM’s. The Mi-28NM

well american tanks have much better mobility like 10x better but their armour has lots of weak spots. Also the american premium teams at top tier are just bad they are mostly new players who have picked up premiums so winning is also rare. With russia your armour is actually very good, you can survive headon engagements with enemy tanks, and at 12.0 with new american players your armour is actually really worth it but with russia mobility is pain. Your max reverse is 12 kmph (t80ue1) and 4kmph (all t72 and t90s) this prevents you from backing out of engagements. But on the plus side cas wont be much of a problem with the pantsirs and also enemy tanks are mostly easy to pen.
for recomendations i would prefer if you get 10.0-11.0 premiums they will help you till toptier and also you will get less of the cas spam.
for usa- the m1kvt is a good tank with amazing mobility and a good gun which enables it to flank very nicely.
for russia- the t80uds are amazing at offense, their good armour at 10.7 means you will survive a lot of hits plus its engine is decently mobile with good acceleration when going forwards (4kmph reverse and 60kmph forwards), the 3bm42 is also an excellent round.
but if you are looking for something quick with a strong autocannon, you can get the 2s38 or the bmd4 both are excellent vehicles with thermals and good guns with the bmd at 9.0 is extremely strong and can get you nukes easily.
happy shopping :)

+1, this is a fairly significant reality playing US in GRB.
I’ve already grinded China at 11.7 (enjoyed the VT4) and Germany with the Leopard 2A4 and 2PL. Now, I’m looking to try out NATO top-tier properly. CAS hasn’t been a big issue for me so far, but I’m torn between getting the M1A1 HC or the T-80UE-1. My friend, who plays the T-80BVM and Su-34, recommends going for the US tree.
