Will grinding China make me regret it?

Currently my line up is:

P-40, T34-85 GAI, T34-85, ZSD63, M24. (5.7 BR)

ZSD63 is incredible, i can’t even find words for it but tanks are meh. I’m only playing with M24 and ZSD63 because it’s easier even in 5.7 BR.

Should i continue? Will China make me regret it? I’m new btw, i tried couple nations but didn’t like it.

Well it depends on what your previous countries were. Lots of the initial Chinese tech tree is just US or Russian tanks. If you played US, or USSR then, no you won’t like it.

Otherwise it’s just like any other nation. There are lineups that work, and some that just don’t. I have all the nations, and I play specific BR lineups depending on my mood or country.

For China 5.7ish lineup: I play the M64 or M18 (both @ 6.0), the awesome ZSD63 and La-9.

For 8.0 lineup: T-69 (laser range finder and stabilizer), WZ305 (HE-VT is great), and a jet is a decent lineup.

After that you get into the more uniquely Chinese designed vehicles.

I grinded USA, Sweden, Germany to 5.7 then i quit because game felt hard to play.

In 5.7 BR with China, feels hard too but because of ZSD, it’s more tolerable. I most likely getting 5-6 air kills, 2-3 ground kills in 1 game.

The air is going to be amazing in the future to go along with their amazing top tier tanks that will also come. its going to be more unique than most euro nations because of things like the eurofighter or gripen being shared, but china has domestic designs.

Well it won’t get easier just because of a change in country. German and Sweden have decent vehicles.

Once you get more experience in game or find vehicles that fit your play style then the game may become enjoyable.

If SPAA work is what you are enjoying then I’d say the 5.7 zone is the sweet spot where you can still be effective against CAS and help your team. It’s just in that zone where Ground vs Air is still fairly balanced.

I would say. No. Because in this update i am 95% sure that China will get something like the J10A or the JF-17 or both

Edit: just now noticed that yall were talking about tanks. I don’t play a lot of those but i play planes

Oh the tanks will remain in the meh state forever, it’s basically playing russian tanks but you get terrible armor and maybe one slightly better shell to compensate. And the few western vehicles you get at higher tiers are dogshit, with the exception of CM11 which is actually okay in some situations.

I like how everyone is talking like top tier is the only place that matters lol I personally enjoyed their 8.7, their T-54 variants are just the USSR version on steroids, people say T-55AM-1 is king but what about the Object 122? bigger ammunition, an extra 1 degree of gun depression, secondary ATGMs, you can stay at 8.7 and still be happy about it.

Its an enjoyable nation, I’ve pretty much grinded the whole tree. An abundance of Chinese tanks are similar to soviets which will be a recurring theme in the tree but fun otherwise. 6.3-6.7 fun late war tanks, 8.0-9.0 is peak, 10.0+ exceptional vehicles, the higher u advance the more u notice attributes from Western tanks. I’d say give it a try but if the grind starts to feel overwhelming don’t force it.
