      French is worse but to be fair, you don’t play the low French vehicles expecting to be the best player. You play it because they look absolutely ridiculous. French might be bad, but it is a fun bad. You play not to win, but to have fun and dink around in your tank. And if it does get a kill, it is extra gratifying.

    In my opinion, the French is worse. Japanese tanks are hard but not bad. Besides, this is what happens when the Army and Navy literally fights for resources and the Navy wins

      This only goes for the starting tanks, and maybe into 2.3. But I love 2.7, and as you get higher up and better with solid shot, it gets way easier. 3.3, 3.7, 5.7, 6.7, and even 7.7 are amazingly fun tiers for French tanks and all of those lineups also have wonderful planes that fit into them.
      TLDR: French gets better the higher you go, and if it doesn’t, that’s a skill issue

    As someone who started grinding Japan three days ago, I can say besides the M16 & M24, I want nothing to do with their ground forces below 4.7. Currently at 4.7 I have fun with them but before then not so much, it helps that I endured low tier UK so getting through painful stuff is something I can deal with

    I started as a Japanese main, and I'm grateful for that. If there's one thing playing Japanese tanks taught me well, is the importance of not getting hit, and how to avoid getting hit in the first place.
    When you translate those skills to tanks that actually can take hits, you'll be quite tricky for your opponents to defeat.

    I wound up playing Japanese after the Brits and really feel like those are the two trees to play if want to test how good you are. The Americans, Germans, and Russians almost always had enough explosive filler save you if you didn’t take a second to point the gun at the crew or critical components.

    For me personally, ww2 era japanese tanks are so underrated, sure they are far from the best and they have considerable flaws including little armor and crappy machine guns but i usually have alot of fun playing with them. I dont know why i just... Do. Some of the later ones have decent guns and just feel simple to play and i consider myself one of their few fans

  • @vaughanharrop3902
    @vaughanharrop3902 День тому +1

    It's not that much that these are absolutely awful, they just don't have any real strong points. Other reserves/1.0 vehicles have equally poor armour, worse mobility sometimes, and some have even weaker cannons, but all of those tend to have something to make up for it. US, British and Russian ones have better guns, French have armour, German Pz.IIIB is similarly mediocre, although the IIIE can at least bounce a few weaker guns when angled. Italy has autocannons on its 1.0 vehicles. Not beginner-friendly because you have to actually know where to shoot some of the tanks you meet, or which ones you can only really disable, like some French tanks.

    Low tier Japan is pain, I'll be honest. And I survived France, before they got buffed.
    The 37mm is serviceable for 1.0, but the problem is just above it.
    The short 57mm is useless, 47mm is tethering on being woefully inadequate.
    And most of the tanks on early ranks can be machine-gunned to death with a .50 cal or even .30 cal sometimes. And your own machine guns are pretty terrible with abysmal magazine capacity.
    Frenchie weirdo tankettes at least have this strange charm to them. There is something hilarious in firing a 37mm WW I gun with penetration capability of a semi-competent machine gun. And you AT LEAST have the luxury of being impervious to machine gun fire yourself.
