China worth grinding?

[LordBUM]

i been thinking about weather or not to grind it and i'm curious if it will be worth the grind.

China is basically the best planes of America, japan and USSR all rolled into one nation.

When you reach Chinese Rank 5, Rank 6 and Rank 7, you will find the following:

1. Type 59 series tanks, essentially Chinese license-built T-54s, have horrible turret traverse, akin to Pz IVs. You can't track moving vehicles.

2. ZTZ96 series tanks have worse frontal armour than the T-64 and T-72 series. Two of the ZTZ96 have horrible reverse speeds like the T-64 and T-72 series tanks but yet their armour can't protect them whereas for the T-64 and T-72, the armour can generally shrug off a few shots.

3. ZTZ99 series tanks have kinks in their armour, even the basic HEAT rounds can sometimes penetrate them, destroying them. Two of the ZTZ99 tanks have horrible reverse speeds too, only one has a good reverse speed.

4. Chinese rank 5-7 tanks have horrible gun depression.

5. ZLT-11, PTL02 and WMA-301, the Chinese armoured 6x6s and 8x8 have horrible reverse speeds, you can't reverse out of trouble, and they have poor gun depression.

Do be aware what you are getting into.

Oh, I also want to say that I do enjoy playing the Chinese tree despite the flawed vehicles, don't let what I said deter you if you want to sample the vehicles. I want to play the ZTZ89 and AFT09 which I have but have not fielded nor crewed.

China isn't the strongest nations and has a lot of vehicles from other nations, if you have nothing in the US, Russia, or Japanese trees then it isn't a bad way to go. Just note that you will have like almost nothing great.

China gets a lot of good stuff from everyone and since the tree is still relatively small you basically get to zoom through the tiers. Definitely recommend since they get solid vehicles pretty much everywhere
