Russia isn’t even that fun sometimes If there’s ANY elevation to the map you’re fucked thanks to no gun depression and around 6.7 your 85mm does basically nothing
@@jthablaidd I started as russia, grinded up to tier 4 and I was hating it so much I bought 2 top tier premiuns just to get destroyed but I grinded fast the T72. now I started playing US and its been so much fun, I dont even bothered getting the M1 KVT or the M1 CLICKBAIT.
I am genuinely just confused. I know the average player is terrible but the US tree tanks are far from bad, the battle ratings aren't even up to date anymore since this video is years old
Tip: if you want a Phantom in a top tier lineup, use the F-4C instead of the F-4E, the F-4C has cheaper repair costs, while largely having the same air-to-ground loadout and access to CCIP (ballistic computer).
That is the absolute dumbest advice I have ever seen given... Take the F-4C that has no countermeasures, only carries unguided bombs/rockets. Instead of the F-4E which has CM, AGM-65 Maverick missiles, and TV guided bombs....
I'm in rank IV of the u.s tech tree and just finished researching my first rank V tank(the M46) before watching this video, now I feel totally discouraged lol
After using Jumbo and facing t-34-85 and IS-1 and some kind of german tank, and killing one by one crewmate out of their tanks and them doing nothing to me, I realised, that the time of stalinium at this game was over, and the age of Democratium has begun
9:34 you know there's an m46 in the regular tech tree right? It's the exact same as the premium except for no premium booster. Also if you don't want to use the A2D-1, you can use the F-3D which is an amazing replacement.
Regular M1 should be 9.7 IMO. Americans are definitely one of the big 3, but my opinion has always been that they are included only because of the sheer amount of vehicles they have meaning there is bound to be something for beginners, instead of actually being all around beginner friendly. Compared to the German or soviet trees I think America is actually fairly challenging and for that reason I think it is the better tree for beginners because it holds your hand less.
@@lucascarpenter4365 if the American M3 90mm had it's actually shells and pen values it would be less teethpulling, gaijin magiced out ~50mm of pen from the apbc (t33) and it also got a tungsten adps (that was used in WW2) that has something like 305mm at 500m
I started ground forces by playing Japan, it's still my main nation but it is objectively worse than US, USSR and Germany.

Sako great vid and gj on starting on the American tree ! Some constructive feedback : In future videos could you include the vehicle icon/thumbnail (this includes vehicle name and BR) or text with the same details while you are talking about it ? This makes searching for a single vehicle through the long video easy (through the thumbnail while hovering) and will also give context to people who are watching this video in the future with potentially different BRs for the same vehicles. Thanks.
I couldn't handle 5.0-5.7 mid teir, but 6.0 with the m41a1 was magnificent, and i did fine before and after 5.0-5.7. Im at 7.7 and its great aside from the atgm hell that is Germany
Germany and Russia certainly are the two top contenders for "most AGMs fired in Warthunder", it's really annoying when you somehow match against both of them and all you hear is WIZZ WIZZ WIZZ of a Marder, BMP-1, and BMP-2 shooting missles across the map and hitting 3 of your teammates with an instant kill missile lol
M4a1, and M4a1 76 w i really like for shooting across the map up to 1000m or more at some points but at that point you need a lucky angle or really good patience
I love the shermans and am currently enjoying the T series of American tanks(just unlocked the T34) and I'd have to agree with what you said in this video it's not a tree for everyone but if you can master them, they are amazing vehicles consistently giving all the other nations a run for their money at least in my opinion. And I mean, muh Abrams one of my favorite tanks( I got to try the US, German and Russian Top tier MBTs at a friend's house and maybe surprisingly I had the most fun with the Abrams, yes even over the Russian Top tier MBTs)

rank 3 in 2024 has been a HUGE pain in the ass to grind through. premiums dont help because you're almost always uptiered. battle ratings make no sense and the T14 is a useless premium because of what it gets matched against. So rough.
I think that gaijen needs to do 1 of two things for the Americans. 1. They can move the German tree up a little in B.R 2. The better option, is moving all American tanks DOWN a little. I know I sound selfish, but I am speaking for all the American players. Facing German tanks is just not fun at all. You get penned by every single one and one shot every single time. People then say, oH tHen jUsT taKe yoUr StOopId JuMbo ouT thEn! But don't realize that once you get to 6.0, EVERYTHING can still pen you. At 6.0 every German tank can pen your SLANTED FRONTAL armor that is also ANGLED. And your tank can't do anything about it. America truly suffers the most.
@@pablo-os3xy Yeah that's true. I decided that I was not having fun like you said and stopped playing ground RB. I just started grinding the American aviation tech tree and it is going a lot faster and I am having much more fun.
to be fair, gaijjin doesnt have much to add in terms of tanks for the US, since the US mostly just went with "whichevers practical" since forever lmfao.
Love this new series idea. Might want to update the outro for this series, since you ask what we think about the vehicle even though you didn’t go over a single vehicle but a whole tech tree. It’s a small thing, but it might be worth fixing.
6.3 USA is also very strong. There is the T25, M26 and T26E1 trio and of course the mighty M41. In terms of CAS there is the F8F1B with 3 1000lbs bombs and 4 M3 cannons ( can pen panthers fron top) and the AD 4 Skyraider with excellent bombs and rockets.
INterestingly, im having a blasst playing 7.3 with the americans now. My win rate is considerably higher than my 9.3 lineup. I have almost all the vehicles researched, except the m60s, and i sincerely believe that 9.0, 9,3 was the most frustrating fighting against G91s, radkampfwagens and leos 120.
Yes premium vehicles definitely help, however the reason the tech trees take so long to unlock is more people not being able to play for more than an hour at a time due to just getting fed up of getting destroyed by sweats within moments of getting into games, I used the premium A10 to grind the American aviation tech tree and it was an experience, fast but painful. Tanks I'm debating a premium however after playing for 4 days I'm now on rank 3, it's more play time than anything else, and getting the occasional really good matchup of chill players who play with actual strategy, if there's no concrete strategy there's room for error which 9 times out of 10 will happen
I would argue that 6.7-7.0 US is one of its strongest lineups... Lights or heavies both are good and the m26-46-47 play like mobile heavy tanks more than mediums
The 76mm M4s got hit hard by gaijoobs "balance" hammer. Ridiculously over tiered and repair costs are ball slappingly stupid. It's obvious they don't want people playing the damn game. Because they punish success as much as failure.
Been grinding the patton series(m47 & m48) every match was painful and frustrating as I wanted to perform. Now I know these tanks are bad. So, I am at peace with my poor performance. 😌
Just going to throw this out there... I am a noob in the game.. Tier 1 was fun, but I am enjoying tier 2 much more. Also, i can suck at the game at times, I move too quickly and do not scan around the map.. I do not know the maps at all.. But i race to the base to try to secure it for those points and for the team.. Rarely does that work.. Seems like it is best to run slow and low.. Stay in the valleys and take the time to be aware of everything around you. Also there is a different game mode where everyone is on a base and your objective is to hold the base and not led the red take it.. So you are up against wave after wave of Bot tanks.. My suggestion is to play that a few times.. you learn how to find spots and attack from those spots, also how to keep your head on a 360 degree swivel.... It is a fast-fun and intense game mode.. And you learn tactics from playing it..
Other than Britain (reaching tier 4) I have reached tier 3 with America, Germany and Russia....and I know what Forrest Gump meant when he said "I'm tired. I'm going to go home now."
can you do a "should you grind the Starfighter"? I´m a about to unlock the german 104 and I´m not sure if its worth it to put my money into that. Love your Videos!
I still cannot understand how XM-803 and MBT-70 are currently any good. Sure they are quick but they have no thermals, no armor, no survaivability (who tf thought that putting every crew member into turret is good idea?), poor APFSDS, atrocious reload (KPZ-70 on the other hand has much better reload speed and it has same BR), their lineup is also whatever. To be honest, since Rank 5 it was pure pain to play USA tanks. I ditched them for now and try to grind Italians that consistently getting nerfed every update (poor Arietes...)
Rank 1: Pain Rank 2: Pain Rank 3: Pain Rank 4: Even more pain Rank 5: Pain and suffering Rank 6: Excruciating amount of pain Rank 7: Slow grind and lots of pain Rank 8: What have I done with my life
super pershing is a really fun tank to play imo. great armour great firepower. it only lacks in mobility and reload speed. i usually only spawn it when i know i gained enough sl from my previous tanks to cover for the repair cost.
Nice. But i don't get why you don't recommend the T14. I got this from warbonds 2 days ago, I played exclusively toptier since one year now and wanted to do grind the US tech tree. I assumed get bullied much, I am very good at toptier but this doesn't proofed to be right. I put 15 Backups and a 10 % RP Booster for 20 Games on the T14 and got my first Rank III tank after exactly 16 games. I am really impressed however good his armor and stabilizer perform, not mind that my crew was Level 1. It was a really smooth start.
I like the fast tanks I just wish there was one with low damage high pen so I can disable a tank and keep moving so my team can finish them I bought the super hellcat and it’s about as good as I can get to run and gun but it doesn’t have a stabilizer so it’s run and gun to a position pop off a couple shots and reposition
the question may sound silly but I am relatively new to this game. When you talk about adding planes to your deck, are you talking about Arcarde mode decks and do they have to be unlocked through the plane battles?
For Ground RB you need to directly place the planes into your lineup and spawn them like a tank. It's not a popup menu or the like, and so you do need to grind out the plane line.
How to play US tanks (according to 80% of US players): 1) spawn in 2) drive along the edge of the map, avoiding any engagement (important) 3) hide next to the enemy spawn (or better yet, behind it) 4) spawnkill 5) revenge bomb after you get killed (ideally using a P47) 6) remember to crash your plane into a mountain after dropping your bombs So there you have it, the most common strategy of US players in War Thunder
How to play german tanks (according to 100% of wehraboos) 1) spawn in 2) go to the cap zones 3) get shot by a tank 4) get penetrated in the front and die 5) quick reddit post, that germany suffers 6) spawn in a Stuka ( no bomb fuze tho) 7) revenge kill and crash 8) go to reddit again, and complain more about Tiger being not historical 9) Spam "TIGER TO 4.3!!!!"
@@zohaibtariq7351 The armour and penetrations at about 5.3 to 7.3 of America especially the mid tanks are not good, but the American low tier and high tier are ok or even good. So it depends on can you play until high tier without getting tired.
@@zohaibtariq7351 Well, I am now trying several tree. As power and armour, German is the best for beginners. Soviet are also good. Swedish have great fire power and Italy have great speed with weak armour. The others like British and Japan also have some great armour and penetrations. If you still want to play America, play mid tanks before 5.3 then play heavy tanks after 5.3, or you can change to Israel after you have 6.0 American tank.
@@zohaibtariq7351 bit late but I fully agree with what April said. You suffer a lot at 5.3 I’m not done with it yet and I’m starting to play Germany with a tiger II and I have alot me fun with that tree. The US is not a starter tier it’s more like a second tier you grind after Germany or Russia
in real life it is absolute one of the best tanks in the world; mainly down to its sensors and battle management systems. In war thunder, we dont have any of that, so it compares pretty badly compared to some of the other tanks in game.
if u think about it, US vehicles were made out of practicality, and more as IFVs in WW2. Afterwards, America tried to specialize their tanks since they were spamming M46s anyways lol
I’m at 9.3 with xm-1 gm, xm803, and t95e1 plus m163 and ah-1g I’m grinding for the m1 abrams after the first Abrams what should I do like go for all the Abrams or go to the m60a1 aos and get up to m60a3 tts or t-92 and grind for the Bradley orrr grind the m36 and get the m1128?

Not really. Shermans were good CQC/Flank tanks, but everything else is wierd. Long range maps are shitty for the US. But medium range is where it shines.

rank 3 in 2024 has been a HUGE pain in the ass to grind through. premiums dont help because you're almost always uptiered. battle ratings make no sense and the T14 is a useless premium because of what it gets matched against. So rough.
I think that gaijen needs to do 1 of two things for the Americans.
1. They can move the German tree up a little in B.R
2. The better option, is moving all American tanks DOWN a little.
I know I sound selfish, but I am speaking for all the American players. Facing German tanks is just not fun at all. You get penned by every single one and one shot every single time.
People then say, oH tHen jUsT taKe yoUr StOopId JuMbo ouT thEn! But don't realize that once you get to 6.0, EVERYTHING can still pen you. At 6.0 every German tank can pen your SLANTED FRONTAL armor that is also ANGLED. And your tank can't do anything about it. America truly suffers the most.
@@pablo-os3xy Yeah that's true. I decided that I was not having fun like you said and stopped playing ground RB. I just started grinding the American aviation tech tree and it is going a lot faster and I am having much more fun.
American tech tree in a nutshell: you research the exact same tank again and again
to be fair, gaijjin doesnt have much to add in terms of tanks for the US, since the US mostly just went with "whichevers practical" since forever lmfao.
As a devoted m50 main, that thing has some insane capability, people will always hit ur coax for some reason
Love this new series idea. Might want to update the outro for this series, since you ask what we think about the vehicle even though you didn’t go over a single vehicle but a whole tech tree. It’s a small thing, but it might be worth fixing.
New sub, love your content.
Keep them coming!!
Sounds good
Yes
6.3 USA is also very strong. There is the T25, M26 and T26E1 trio and of course the mighty M41. In terms of CAS there is the F8F1B with 3 1000lbs bombs and 4 M3 cannons ( can pen panthers fron top) and the AD 4 Skyraider with excellent bombs and rockets.
It gets uptiered to 7.3 95% of the time now that the Leo 1 and T-54 were downtiered
@@SAKOSNIPER Yeah. Its really hit or miss. Gaijin fucked up again
French next please!!!! So many people don’t understand how French stuff work.
Just had a vontaur kill six players in one carpet bomb followed up by another six in the second
INterestingly, im having a blasst playing 7.3 with the americans now. My win rate is considerably higher than my 9.3 lineup. I have almost all the vehicles researched, except the m60s, and i sincerely believe that 9.0, 9,3 was the most frustrating fighting against G91s, radkampfwagens and leos 120.
6.3 was my American hell
6.3-7.3 was hell for me.
8.0 gets all better
Great vid man, the new series is quite interesting. Is there any chance Germany is next?
Yo u got some of that Bruh?
Ayo I need some bruh
Meet me at the regular spot
Yall got the bruh but i got the methè mr whiter
Thank god I’m not the only one that thinks the jump to the m6a1 is despicable
Yes premium vehicles definitely help, however the reason the tech trees take so long to unlock is more people not being able to play for more than an hour at a time due to just getting fed up of getting destroyed by sweats within moments of getting into games, I used the premium A10 to grind the American aviation tech tree and it was an experience, fast but painful. Tanks I'm debating a premium however after playing for 4 days I'm now on rank 3, it's more play time than anything else, and getting the occasional really good matchup of chill players who play with actual strategy, if there's no concrete strategy there's room for error which 9 times out of 10 will happen
Thanks, Very helpful.
Another good video to watch during breakfast
I need more of this
Thanks! Good tutorial.
I can’t wait for the review of the Japanese tree
I would argue that 6.7-7.0 US is one of its strongest lineups... Lights or heavies both are good and the m26-46-47 play like mobile heavy tanks more than mediums
I don't even play the game but I love these videos.
The 76mm M4s got hit hard by gaijoobs "balance" hammer. Ridiculously over tiered and repair costs are ball slappingly stupid. It's obvious they don't want people playing the damn game. Because they punish success as much as failure.
Very very informative
This makes me feel bad about grinding to rank 3 in USA.
Been grinding the patton series(m47 & m48) every match was painful and frustrating as I wanted to perform. Now I know these tanks are bad. So, I am at peace with my poor performance. 😌
id even say the m46 is much much better than m48
Get the magach 3. it helps with the grind.
Personally I'd say the Patton's are pretty good. Better than the 76 Sherman's imo
I LOVE THIS
Hehehehe I chuckled when you said workable armor
This is maybe the best WT vid I've watched.
Not yet😄
Pro-tip for using US stabilizer: learn how your manual transmission works.
Just going to throw this out there... I am a noob in the game.. Tier 1 was fun, but I am enjoying tier 2 much more. Also, i can suck at the game at times, I move too quickly and do not scan around the map.. I do not know the maps at all.. But i race to the base to try to secure it for those points and for the team.. Rarely does that work.. Seems like it is best to run slow and low.. Stay in the valleys and take the time to be aware of everything around you.
Also there is a different game mode where everyone is on a base and your objective is to hold the base and not led the red take it.. So you are up against wave after wave of Bot tanks..
My suggestion is to play that a few times.. you learn how to find spots and attack from those spots, also how to keep your head on a 360 degree swivel.... It is a fast-fun and intense game mode.. And you learn tactics from playing it..
this video is very well done.
Other than Britain (reaching tier 4) I have reached tier 3 with America, Germany and Russia....and I know what Forrest Gump meant when he said "I'm tired. I'm going to go home now."
I just started grinding USA and I’m on rank 2. The Sherman’s are pretty fun so far
I finished my 10.0 lineup 🤑🤑🤑
showing an AA decimating a mbt when introducing the York
6:32 rank 3 line up
I like how in rank 4 he acts like we are made of money
can you do a "should you grind the Starfighter"? I´m a about to unlock the german 104 and I´m not sure if its worth it to put my money into that. Love your Videos!
so you just going to skip the T95
* sad doom turtle noises*
M4a3 (105) is underrated, I got 2300 in my first game with it. Keep in mind this is a 105mm on a jumbo chasis at 3.0.
It's not a jumbo chassis my friend...
I still cannot understand how XM-803 and MBT-70 are currently any good. Sure they are quick but they have no thermals, no armor, no survaivability (who tf thought that putting every crew member into turret is good idea?), poor APFSDS, atrocious reload (KPZ-70 on the other hand has much better reload speed and it has same BR), their lineup is also whatever. To be honest, since Rank 5 it was pure pain to play USA tanks. I ditched them for now and try to grind Italians that consistently getting nerfed every update (poor Arietes...)
Gaijin really suck at balancing those mid tiers.
Rank 1: Pain
Rank 2: Pain
Rank 3: Pain
Rank 4: Even more pain
Rank 5: Pain and suffering
Rank 6: Excruciating amount of pain
Rank 7: Slow grind and lots of pain
Rank 8: What have I done with my life
You gotta agree, no matter how high you go in br, there will be one poor soul using the m22😂
It's a force to be reckoned with😂
My advice is to avoid the Super Pershing completely. That thing is pain mentally, physically and financially
Glad it wasn't just me that thought that. I am starting to like it more now that I'm not a noob though.
I like the super pershing when it's top br but up br not I don't touch it
super pershing is a really fun tank to play imo. great armour great firepower. it only lacks in mobility and reload speed. i usually only spawn it when i know i gained enough sl from my previous tanks to cover for the repair cost.
Yeah, the super pershing is good as an anti-Tiger 2 H tank, but it's more of a placeholder that you use until you get the T34.
e1-1 pershing is actually goated, the e5 is fucking dogshit
Top 5 reason why I love American tech tree
1 . *OIL*
2. *FREEDOM*
3 *SPEEEEEEEEEEEEED*
4. *MOAR
5 *MURICA*
Me who just got into tier 5 hoping it’d be good
3.7 american is so good
I ground out the entire American tree, and honestly, I highly regret it, I just reached rank 6 with russia, and I like it a hell of a-lot better
Nice. But i don't get why you don't recommend the T14.
I got this from warbonds 2 days ago, I played exclusively toptier since one year now and wanted to do grind the US tech tree.
I assumed get bullied much, I am very good at toptier but this doesn't proofed to be right.
I put 15 Backups and a 10 % RP Booster for 20 Games on the T14 and got my first Rank III tank after exactly 16 games.
I am really impressed however good his armor and stabilizer perform, not mind that my crew was Level 1.
It was a really smooth start.
The channel Intro is significantly louder than the rest. my ears hurt now
I am at 5.7 in the American tech tree and depression is an obstacle that can be bounded by american mains once you get through it you can make it
Top tier is great; it's just the 5.7-8.7 grind that is horrifying
I did enjoy that US amphibious tank :D Crossed a river in it and surprised some enemies, lol.
Nice one!
I like the fast tanks I just wish there was one with low damage high pen so I can disable a tank and keep moving so my team can finish them I bought the super hellcat and it’s about as good as I can get to run and gun but it doesn’t have a stabilizer so it’s run and gun to a position pop off a couple shots and reposition
the question may sound silly but I am relatively new to this game. When you talk about adding planes to your deck, are you talking about Arcarde mode decks and do they have to be unlocked through the plane battles?
For Ground RB you need to directly place the planes into your lineup and spawn them like a tank. It's not a popup menu or the like, and so you do need to grind out the plane line.
Im waiting for the French tech tree : the best but the more expensive ( tier 4 oof )
How to play US tanks (according to 80% of US players):
1) spawn in
2) drive along the edge of the map, avoiding any engagement (important)
3) hide next to the enemy spawn (or better yet, behind it)
4) spawnkill
5) revenge bomb after you get killed (ideally using a P47)
6) remember to crash your plane into a mountain after dropping your bombs
So there you have it, the most common strategy of US players in War Thunder
How to play german tanks (according to 100% of wehraboos)
1) spawn in
2) go to the cap zones
3) get shot by a tank
4) get penetrated in the front and die
5) quick reddit post, that germany suffers
6) spawn in a Stuka ( no bomb fuze tho)
7) revenge kill and crash
8) go to reddit again, and complain more about Tiger being not historical
9) Spam "TIGER TO 4.3!!!!"
@@certifiedmonke you may be right, but that doesn’t mean I am wrong.
I wasn’t defending wehraboos
@@Krypton2658 nobody said you were wrong. I just made a similar joke, just with the german players:)
I choose America as a beginner, after few years, I gave up now
why??? I am new player and I have chosen america too can you tell what is bad with american tree??
@@zohaibtariq7351 The armour and penetrations at about 5.3 to 7.3 of America especially the mid tanks are not good, but the American low tier and high tier are ok or even good. So it depends on can you play until high tier without getting tired.
@@apriljoke1357 Which tree are you playing now??
Can you tell best tree for beginners
@@zohaibtariq7351 Well, I am now trying several tree. As power and armour, German is the best for beginners. Soviet are also good. Swedish have great fire power and Italy have great speed with weak armour. The others like British and Japan also have some great armour and penetrations. If you still want to play America, play mid tanks before 5.3 then play heavy tanks after 5.3, or you can change to Israel after you have 6.0 American tank.
@@zohaibtariq7351 bit late but I fully agree with what April said. You suffer a lot at 5.3 I’m not done with it yet and I’m starting to play Germany with a tiger II and I have alot me fun with that tree. The US is not a starter tier it’s more like a second tier you grind after Germany or Russia
Rank one lineup:
Manages to put 2 rank 2's in it.
So?
It fits the BR range
Quick guide to American tech tree:
Suffering
The P-47-M-1-RE isn't available apparently?
What plane would you replace it with?
@SAKO SNIPER , is this still relevant in Oct 24’? Thanks 😁
Dang one of the best battle tanks in the world the Abrams and this guy makes it sound like it’s a tuna can. Good video though.
in real life it is absolute one of the best tanks in the world; mainly down to its sensors and battle management systems. In war thunder, we dont have any of that, so it compares pretty badly compared to some of the other tanks in game.
As a wehrboo, i can confirm U.S ground vehicles are the easiest to use.
if u think about it, US vehicles were made out of practicality, and more as IFVs in WW2.
Afterwards, America tried to specialize their tanks since they were spamming M46s anyways lol
I’m at 9.3 with xm-1 gm, xm803, and t95e1 plus m163 and ah-1g I’m grinding for the m1 abrams after the first Abrams what should I do like go for all the Abrams or go to the m60a1 aos and get up to m60a3 tts or t-92 and grind for the Bradley orrr grind the m36 and get the m1128? Which is best and how do you play properly with the xm1 and xm803?
@@allena5545 yeah true lol Sence premium I have the ipm1 I just need money for the crew and have the m1 should I go for m1a1 for go to Bradley lol
@@allena5545 I think ima start going for the Bradley I think 10.3 ipm1 and m1 would be good and when I get the m3a3 Bradley or the hstvl I’ll go back getting the Abrams tanks
@@abram4806 did the same thing, Bradleys are enjoyable
i have is2, t54 100, which are suggested to be most op tanks in the game for its lineup
but i get way more fun and kills on m24, m4a2 and other usa stabilized low tier tanks, is it skill issue of enemies, or whiners are wrong?
USA has great cqc tanks but good luck on long range maps at least at low brs
Not really. Shermans were good CQC/Flank tanks, but everything else is wierd.
Long range maps are shitty for the US. But medium range is where it shines.
