Idk man ho-I can block a lot of shots in its tier plus the gun is a 75 mm so it can deal with angles and it's aphe is pretty good at 2.0 and the heat is a nice touch That means it's good for sniping and brawling,
I started with the British tree and it was really fun till like tier 5 then I became poor. I'm grinding through tier 6 now but I've gone to the German tree because I want to see how much they suffer.
@@moblinmajorgeneral I'll be honest I unlocked all of rank 2 and went for the tiger. Man it's better than I thought it was you've got good armour and a good gun. The Churchill that I'm used to has good armour and crap gun. I've got quite a few 8 kills.
@@ollyclass i did the same After playing Italy , i was enjoying It but gaijin nerfed so much heat rounds , so i decided to get more serious tanks , and God how good are Panthers , i also liked the Tiger 2 p
Cool thing about China is it’s a mix of both USA and Russian tanks. Only downside is they lack any IFVs/light tanks for high tiers as well as SPAA. But low and mid tier pretty solid. ALSO they now get a F-5 xD
I love low tier china. rat tanks like the M8 LAC and the Stuarts, beefy firepower like the SU-76M and LVT-A(4) Zis-2, and a stable medium tank like the Chi Ha Kai
I made the genius decision to pick Britain as my first tree for both planes and tanks. Planes were awesome, but when I went on to tanks I was forced to learn FAST, I had an in depth knowledge on countering german tanks by tier 3
By the time you unlock every tier 3 British tank you could work as a mechanic on German and soviet tanks, you need to do surgery on those fuckers to get every kill and you always get one shot
13:43 for some weird reason as a Japan main when I used the chinese Chi Ha Kai it actually performed better than the Japanese one Probably because you get on the team with the Soviets or the US
As a Brit main, I was to mention two things. British anti air is a joke until the falcon, and secondly, the cruiser tanks which include the avenger and challenger (not the MBT) are not slow and actually comparative to the hell cat
Yeah the British can 100% be used for flanking as they have some really fast if not the fastest light tanks in almost every br e.g Concept 5, Rookiat and the Cromwell (which yes is slower than a couple light tanks but it will pretty much always be the first medium tank at the objective). Also the Churchill … its quite bad - it’s so slow with limited firepower and the armour just does not make up for it just like most of the British heavy tanks (except the Matilda’s - I bloody love those tanks). Another benefit to the British is that they get laser rangefinders quite early on with tanks that have a decent gun(FV4002, Warrior etc)
As someone who just started playing i absolutely love this series and It's nice having a video i can just send to my friends when they are starting to play.

While your cons about the British are true, what I have noticed (for me at least) it forces me to think about where I am going to move to, cos chances are that once I'm there, I'm won't be going anywhere else any time soon. The low armour really makes you think about your positioning and angling, not to mention a much higher incentive to research other tanks' layouts so that you can target crew and ammo. I've found these lessons invaluable when playing other nations at low tier. Playing British or Japanese sort of forces you to learn quicker to be effective, it certainly helps once you get out T1, you have been forced to learn lessons other nations haven't to the same extent. Also one rather important pro that you missed, was that every British tank comes with a kettle for tea (or coffee if you are an American on an exchange). Great vid, really enjoyed by his and part 1.
I love how he combines his analytical knowledge with the humor of almost every war thunder meme there is, it creates a perfect balance between memes and guides.
I just started playing warthunder 3 weeks ago and my friends (all 300+hrs) pushed me into starting with japan so we could play it together and now I'm at the ST-A3 in tier IV. It is really fun but can be really frustrating for new players because you get easily killed or one tapped, but if you don't snap fast when getting killed, japan is super fun
The Japanese Ho-Ni I and II are amazing tanks! I consistently get 5+ kills in games playing them. There like the japanese version of the German Marders.
Can't wait to see part 3. I started War Thunder about 2 month ago and I reached rank 5 with Italy (love Centauro and Sidam 25 for AA) and rank 4 with France and Sweden. Never played other nations.
@@Lewd-Tenant_Isan Premium account and Battle Pass. If not, I think it is impossible to reach top tiers. Today, I am in rank 6 with Italy + Sidam 25 Mistral (rank 7), rank 6 with Sweden, only rank 4 with France because of cost repair Oo and rank 4 with UK Even I have a premium account, I am a medium player so sometimes I lost silver lions
Idk about anyone else but Chi-Ha Kai was so much fun, early tier Japanese can be really frustrating with Ho-Ro and the likes but they can be really fun, because of your weaponry and that you still have decent mobility with Light tanks and mediums.
Waiting for Italy and France, good video, but you did the Chi-Ha-Kai dirty, it has a stabilizer and good pen with gun depression and mobility, had a blast with that thing.
The Hampden TB is underrated as British CAS goes. It's a light bomber, but carries 4x 500kg bombs, individually dropped, and 2x 250kg bombs on the wings. Good enough for at least 5 kills if your aim is good. I've been using the thing way above its BR and it still does good work.
Britain is pretty fun even on later tiers, I grinded all the way to 2F and the only tier that was pain for me was the early tiers with practically no speed
Im watching your videos cos they give me better ideas how to play without saying oh your in this tank you have to go here and do this... Ive played on and off for like 8 years or more and Im still learning!
i noticed you called the type 89 a decent ifv, bro i gotta say as someone who has easily 40+ hours in it, it’s pretty fucking amazing and i think you should’ve mentioned the hydropneumatic suspension but other than that great vid!
As a japanese player i can agree with some stuff. Tier 1 for me was fun because when I played it I was *experienced* and knew where most weakspots were. Tier 2 is good cause you got a good SPAA,Good TD with good pen and the Chi ha is a beast. Same goes for tier 3 other than the fact Chi Ri II is bigger than the Maus and the So-Ki isnt that good. Tier 4 is fun you got heatfs and the ST-A1 and 2 are interesting tanks with good reverse. Most dont habve armour but i have bounced or didnt take damage from most tanks. I got shot by a Jadgtiger in my Type 60 and he didnt even do damage to me. You will get pen by most planes so be prepared to have spaa's. Still havent got tier 5-6 but for the most part its fun.
I started playing with Japan. I didn't like chi ha Kai but I loved Chi He. Now I am spring Chi Nu and it is even better than Chi He. And the Ho Ni 3 is amazing but the Chi Ha LG which comes after that is garbage because it has the same pen as Ho Ni even with a 120mm cannon. Also So Ki is good it can take out aircraft better than other japanese SPAA and it can kill tanks. Because it has no armor, shells fly through you and kill like 1 crew member.
I started with Japan as my first nation and i am currently at 6.7 grinding all lines except AA and it was pain. After starting britain sometime later i wondered why i hated low br japan so much while complaining about the lack of APHE in british tanks then i tried a round with reserve and 1.0 Tanks from Japan again and i remembered while you might have APHE they first have to pen the enemy to be useful.
British experience: Tier 1 and 2: I can't pen shit and I get one shot by everything Tier 3 and 4: I still get one shot by everything but now I can pen things Tier 5 onwards: Powerful, but good luck with your silver lions boy Ps. Brit planes are the only reason to play Britain tbh
The 2 pounder you get in tier 1-2 forces you to surgically disassemble the enemy with your solid shot shells. Quite a painful process, but at least it forces you to acquire a good understanding of penetration for later tiers.
I began playing war thunder in 2018 and stared with British aircraft. It was a nice experience so I went to the British tanks next. I struggled really badly and only just got used to how they play, but their play style is really nice
The Comet and Challenger are quite mobile actually, specially when you will be fighting German cats most of the time, you can almost play them like light tanks.
lmao the british tech tree was the first one I started with and he says its not recommended for beginners. I can safely say he's right since I now play a little russia just to remember what having APHE shells is like. Also he forgot that there is actually one tank on the british tree with APHE; its the crusader. The crusader was amazing for me when i started war thunder and I'd say the same would go for any other British tanks beginner
I also recommend going for the valentine tanks. The may lack in speed and mobility but they make up for it in their decent armor and cannon for their b.r.
I love japan. Driving around and flanking enemies is really fun with these powerful cannons. I'm only at 6.3 tho. Pretty excited to see how the Type 90 performs at top tier.
I really love the Chinese tech tree, yeah sure they’re copy paste but they’re copy paste of very fun vehicles and have some SUPER unique lineups consisting of very good vehicles from each nation. Very fun nation
the cents do have decent armor and the cromwell chassis tanks have really good mobility the cents armor isnt fantastic, especially with the LFP, but its decent
The thing is for ALL low-tier British tanks....they have to deal with the German SPG age around 2.0+. Plus the PZ. III J1's are a thing, and they got some small-shields around their frontal. The British can't compete with them at all, I find it kind've hard since some of us are mainly armed with 40mms and 57's mms lol. I recommend playing low-tier British as a fast-flanker or support for heavier tanks since that's your only support you got or else you'll die.
Gun carrier: average gun At 2.7 that “average gun” can pen almost anything and because of the size of it, it will almost always one shot light tanks and cripple heavy and medium tanks to the point where a follow up shot will do the job
I played usa up to rank 2 and ended up not liking it because of the lack of Apc's, so i looked at all the nations and saw that britan had a good mix of light and heavy tanks, which was why i played it, i just hope the higher tiers are strong enough...
After playing both Japan and France, I think the French have the worst tier 1 line up. The reserve tanks are abysmal. And even up to the Char B1 their cannons lack any real hitting power. The 47mm is entirely inadequate even point blank, and the only domestic low tier tank they have that is any good is the S35. And even then it's only because of the decent armor and mobility. It's an otherwise ineffectual fighting vehicle.
Omg that explains things.... a noob here. I just started playing a few days ago Italy, and so far, I loved it. Japan is my second favorite nation, so here I go to alternate and play a bit more, and OMG Japan feels like I am just there doing nothing, is hard and I thought I was just bad but I mean I do well with Italy and for the worst part decent Japan in the other hand, Pain that's all I feel..... and I love their later tiers. It is just hard now....
As someone who has played the Chinese tree and is currently grinding it, even as an experienced player I've been struggling with it. I think 7 is very generous for beginner friendliness, I would give it probably a 3 like Japan, but that's just my opinion
A Daimler can kill a panther pretty fine, of course before it loses a winning duel with a tiger by getting its engine shot by an m18 behind a bush and everything goes downhill.
I'm Britain main. Churchills and Cruisers are amazing.🇬🇧☕🇹🇷 Fun Fact: You don't need a tank to destroy Tier 1 Japanese🇯🇵 tanks, a 12.7mm machine gun is sufficient.
This right here. APHE feals so braindead to use, the main thing I enjoy with Brits is one shotting everything with a well placed calculated shot. Feels Good!
0:30 England? The UK IS NOT ENGLAND! The UK is England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland combined. I mean, you probably understand this, but I get enraged when I say I'm from the UK and people say that I'm English. Just in case any Americans get it wrong, like they usually do.
I wish I saw this video before I started playing War Thunder as somehow the two tech trees I chose to main and play on as a Noob were apparently aren't very beginner friendly. Now I am worried about British higher tier tanks when I reach them though one thing I want to say is that I disagree with the F rating for tier 1-2 Japanese tanks and I actually enjoyed it mainly for the speed, enough amour, gun depression, HEAT shells and from what I know, pretty good reload speed while the only thing I hated about it was the Tank Destroyer due to their slow reload speed, the type of shell they used and in the Chi-Ha's case, having noing protecting its crew making it annoyingly very variable from air attacks and flanking tanks armed with machine guns. Though not sure how valid my experience is because I just joined War Thunder a few months ago and I haven't played much of the other tech trees.
Ho-Ro is really good, not in 1.3br but in 2.7 because gets alwaus one shot and still one shots everything. Also no need to aim since it has HE shells that can penetrate 55mm of armor.
hey skDoger for when you cover Italy the AS 42 is good for flanking. If you use the best bullets you can pen a lot of stuff, also the Engine is very quite what makes it a bit easier to flank. If you flank you can get some kills before on shell or bullet hits the gunner or driver.
Of course Gaijin adds South Africa right after I make the video -_-

I began playing war thunder in 2018 and stared with British aircraft. It was a nice experience so I went to the British tanks next. I struggled really badly and only just got used to how they play, but their play style is really nice
1:50 Amazing wording right here...
True CAS lineup for Japan that you'll use. B5N2 with 800kg HE bomb -> B7A2 with same bomb -> Fighters with Big rockets for example A7M2
The Comet and Challenger are quite mobile actually, specially when you will be fighting German cats most of the time, you can almost play them like light tanks.
yeah the comets a great tank, takes no time at all to ace it!
Cant wait till part 3 because 2 of my favorite trees are the French and Italy
7:27 "The biggest problem being the firepower", just two words for you, Ho Ro ;D
My Japanese due ask me why there is no HO- RO recommended 🇯🇵
Japanese tree = Chi Nu 2 is what you will use to grind the whole nation.
Nice work bro! I will wait for the third part 😉
lmao the british tech tree was the first one I started with and he says its not recommended for beginners. I can safely say he's right since I now play a little russia just to remember what having APHE shells is like.
Also he forgot that there is actually one tank on the british tree with APHE; its the crusader. The crusader was amazing for me when i started war thunder and I'd say the same would go for any other British tanks beginner
Crusader flanking is beautiful
As a South African I approve of your pronunciation of "Rooikat".
I like how you used the ROCA (taiwan) theme on china instead of the PLA march🤣
Zhonghua Mingguo DiYi 🇹🇼🇹🇼
My three favorite trees are all grouped together last D:
I also recommend going for the valentine tanks. The may lack in speed and mobility but they make up for it in their decent armor and cannon for their b.r.
In my experience the val’s have very inconsistent armor that doesn’t work 85% of the time.
yea the valentine 1 is indestructible in a downtier but in an uptier you bettet angle
I love japan. Driving around and flanking enemies is really fun with these powerful cannons. I'm only at 6.3 tho. Pretty excited to see how the Type 90 performs at top tier.
I have waited for this
I really love the Chinese tech tree, yeah sure they’re copy paste but they’re copy paste of very fun vehicles and have some SUPER unique lineups consisting of very good vehicles from each nation. Very fun nation
Then recommend a lineup for 5.7 please, because I rage quited china due to the fact Germany and the US eat chinese tanks for breakfast at 5.7
@@mexicobasado8177 2 years late but, all the 5.7 vehicles are great:
Both T-34s
M18 and M36
ISU-122
SPAA T-34
All are best of USSR and USA techtrees.
Best Rooikat ive heard in a video.
"Not very mobile"
"Shows picture of Avenger, tha speedy boi"
I mean..... it have shit turning rate
The man is back
the cents do have decent armor and the cromwell chassis tanks have really good mobility
the cents armor isnt fantastic, especially with the LFP, but its decent
1:30
Sad Archer noises(also Achilles as well)
The thing is for ALL low-tier British tanks....they have to deal with the German SPG age around 2.0+. Plus the PZ. III J1's are a thing, and they got some small-shields around their frontal. The British can't compete with them at all, I find it kind've hard since some of us are mainly armed with 40mms and 57's mms lol. I recommend playing low-tier British as a fast-flanker or support for heavier tanks since that's your only support you got or else you'll die.
Gun carrier: average gun
At 2.7 that “average gun” can pen almost anything and because of the size of it, it will almost always one shot light tanks and cripple heavy and medium tanks to the point where a follow up shot will do the job
Just in time, wanted to return to the British tech tree
I started with the United Kingdom at the beginning of the year, it was my first nation, and now I just have the first centurion
I played usa up to rank 2 and ended up not liking it because of the lack of Apc's, so i looked at all the nations and saw that britan had a good mix of light and heavy tanks, which was why i played it, i just hope the higher tiers are strong enough...
British top tier is quite competitive, if you know how to use the tanks they're quite good
After playing both Japan and France, I think the French have the worst tier 1 line up. The reserve tanks are abysmal. And even up to the Char B1 their cannons lack any real hitting power. The 47mm is entirely inadequate even point blank, and the only domestic low tier tank they have that is any good is the S35. And even then it's only because of the decent armor and mobility. It's an otherwise ineffectual fighting vehicle.
Thx for these vids especially the one on rounds ive been playing war thunder for about 3 years now
such professional, much wow
Omg that explains things.... a noob here. I just started playing a few days ago Italy, and so far, I loved it. Japan is my second favorite nation, so here I go to alternate and play a bit more, and OMG Japan feels like I am just there doing nothing, is hard and I thought I was just bad but I mean I do well with Italy and for the worst part decent Japan in the other hand, Pain that's all I feel..... and I love their later tiers. It is just hard now....
Yes we need this
As someone who has played the Chinese tree and is currently grinding it, even as an experienced player I've been struggling with it. I think 7 is very generous for beginner friendliness, I would give it probably a 3 like Japan, but that's just my opinion
Ikr the repair costs high af and the 5.7 lineup is pure pain against germany and the US
A Daimler can kill a panther pretty fine, of course before it loses a winning duel with a tiger by getting its engine shot by an m18 behind a bush and everything goes downhill.
I'm Britain main. Churchills and Cruisers are amazing.🇬🇧☕🇹🇷
Fun Fact: You don't need a tank to destroy Tier 1 Japanese🇯🇵 tanks, a 12.7mm machine gun is sufficient.
Lack of APHE probably help to teach player to actually aim at certain spots
This right here. APHE feals so braindead to use, the main thing I enjoy with Brits is one shotting everything with a well placed calculated shot. Feels Good!
Bris: If you're lookinf for fun
Me mainly Brit and swede: Where's the bloody fun m8?
Waheres the fooking fun yea m8
0:30 England? The UK IS NOT ENGLAND! The UK is England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland combined. I mean, you probably understand this, but I get enraged when I say I'm from the UK and people say that I'm English. Just in case any Americans get it wrong, like they usually do.
yes. Japan tier 1 was hell. my broken monitor confirms.
To prove the terrible armor on the st tanks I actually killed one with a locust that used up a ton of snail luck.
Flanking is actually a good choice for starter tanks
I'm a beginner, I started with UK tree for both air and ground, AMA.
1:30 *sad archer noises
I wish I saw this video before I started playing War Thunder as somehow the two tech trees I chose to main and play on as a Noob were apparently aren't very beginner friendly. Now I am worried about British higher tier tanks when I reach them though one thing I want to say is that I disagree with the F rating for tier 1-2 Japanese tanks and I actually enjoyed it mainly for the speed, enough amour, gun depression, HEAT shells and from what I know, pretty good reload speed while the only thing I hated about it was the Tank Destroyer due to their slow reload speed, the type of shell they used and in the Chi-Ha's case, having noing protecting its crew making it annoyingly very variable from air attacks and flanking tanks armed with machine guns. Though not sure how valid my experience is because I just joined War Thunder a few months ago and I haven't played much of the other tech trees.
Ho-Ro is really good, not in 1.3br but in 2.7 because gets alwaus one shot and still one shots everything. Also no need to aim since it has HE shells that can penetrate 55mm of armor.
Bruhhhhhhhh, the ctrl, C and V on China's intro! I'm off to hell for laughing at that one!😂😬
I memed HARD with the Type 98 AA truck. XD Killed half a dozen tanks with ambushes.
according to experience, better react faster if u decide to play chief and chally aggressively, they can be pretty decent at it
"The m4a3 can be a nice addition to your line up" WHAT LINE UP
hey skDoger for when you cover Italy the AS 42 is good for flanking. If you use the best bullets you can pen a lot of stuff, also the Engine is very quite what makes it a bit easier to flank. If you flank you can get some kills before on shell or bullet hits the gunner or driver.
Will keep in mind. Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!
You are welcome!
japanese armor mostly sucks but i somehow bounced an m22 point blank with the I GO KO (reserve tank)
