What's the best Tech Tree?

[Agent Krasnov]

Not, "Which Tech Tree has the best players", but, "Which Tech Tree has the best vehicles", (obviously excluding Naval)

I say Russia. (Case could be made for Germany or Sweden.)

[Akagi]

Overall I'd say Germany. They always have very potent tanks and planes on almost every br, only lacking at top tier where they are being replaced by Sweden and the 7. br for jets

[Toxa]

USSR.

[Big Mike]

I'd say America, American 6.7-7.7 tanks are a mixed bag with more losers than winners but American air is potent from top to bottom. The squadron vics are powerful, the premiums are unique with a few heavy hitters, and some of the marketplace vics are cool too

"Best" as in highest quantity of overpowered tanks/planes/helis? Russia.
"Best" as in best end game? Sweden.
"Best" as in most fun? A different game.
"Best" as in best naval? America.

[ErickaUnlimited]

Depends on the bracket honestly, as most nations excel in different ones.

Trick question

It ~is~ the players not the vehicles... poor players in "best" vehicles are still poor...

USSR. Increased survivability through sheer ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ makes it better in the hands of the inexperienced and even better in the hands of the experienced.

Doesn't stop the TURMS/2s38/SU25k from dominating high tier. Absolutely awful players in handheld vehicles still win plenty.

Germany beacuse it's got strong and diverse vehicles for every rank. USA and USSR are just filled with same vehicles with same play styles so Germany 100%.

You could describe USSR and USA the same way.

[Hayseed]

For tanks Germany and the USSR are by far the best right now at most BRs IMO. Germany especially has a lot of under tiered tanks like the Panther. Both nations also benefit from having some of the most reliable guns at most BRs. In my opinion the US tank tech tree just has too many over-tiered vehicles to say it is on quite the same level overall. All of the big three do benefit greatly from actually having full lineups though, which can be a game changer.

Edit: Another thing I forgot to add is that Germany and the USSR tend to have an easier time with the stock grind, as their default shells tend to be decent APHE.

Until cold war tiers, USA and Russia
They both have real HT that german lack of, they either have stupid strong Armor thickness, early access of lol pen HEATFS, or stalinium steel which allow both faction stay put in open and tank shots.

Its not so much the thickness of armour with Russians at this period its the sloped armour. I play the T-44 for example. Its mad, everything bounces off.

This is the same at top tier, the slopiness of their armour is what makes them hard to kill. Even the Leopard does not have such sloped armour.

That and Stalinium-lined fuel tanks, capable of completely stopping even ~600mm pen darts.

Russia, in the 9 years I have played they have the best game outcomes. And I have Other full trees, US, Italy and a lot of German. I have had great games w/ US at times. However, Russia is always the best tree. Might have something to do with Gaigin getting the Russian acad. of arts and sciences support? Also data mining demonstrated some interesting issues a few years back.
