Best Plane Nations in War Thunder
Tire List
 A+ Tier (Best) : USA , Germany
 A Tier (Good) : Russia, Japan, Great Britain, Italy
 B Tier (Average) : France, China, Sweden

The A+ tier comprises the best planes, the strongest and most balanced in all
aspects of the game. Players can play the game with these nations as per their
choice, and they can be dominant. New players can easily obtain these Tier 1
nations and be lethal on the battlefield.

The A Tier comprises good planes with different capabilities. In this tier, some
planes are good at armour while others are good at attacking and defence
mechanisms. However, when it comes to the battlefield, all planes are equally
worthy. This tier provides many options to choose from in the tech tree.

The B Tier comprises average planes. They have very few or very minimal
qualities, and some are very situational. These planes are not designed to
handle every situation that may arise during gameplay; you should not rely on
them. The planes in this tier are generally small, offer no armour, and can be
easily destroyed by the enemy player. They have decent speed, which keeps
their value in the game sustainable.

Best Plane Nation in War Thunder


(2023)
War Thunder offers nine planes to play as nations. They are the USA, Germany,
Russia, Great Britain, Japan, China, Italy, France, and Sweden. Among all the
planes, some are strong, and some do not offer good gameplay and will waste
your gameplay time. This guide will help you choose the best Plane nation in
War Thunder. The following is a brief overview of Plane Nation:
USA

USA Nation has 154 aircraft in total. Almost every plane in the United States
carries 50-calibre or 12.7-mm missiles and machine guns. Players can witness
excellent lineups for aircraft, especially in later ranks. The defence and
attacking mechanisms are pretty good, and players can easily take down
enemies. When it comes to climbing, they are not much better than German
aircraft. While in the air, the United States provides above-average air support
and destroys enemy bases.
Germany

Germans have an incredible amount of energy when it comes to aircraft. Even


in the early ranks, players have a plethora of options for selecting the best
planes. German aircraft have cannons with numerous modifications, including
13-mm machine guns. Example: BF 109. They also offer gun pods and better
zoom tactics.
Russia

If you wish to choose a perfect nation for your first gameplay in Plane Nation,
Russia will be a good start. They offer the best low-altitude fighter planes,
medium bombers, heavy bombers, and ground attackers. Large aircraft have
an unlimited ammunition-carrying capacity. One disadvantage to Russian
aircraft is that they can sometimes not withstand Spitfires.
Great Britain

The United Kingdom has 127 aircraft in total. They offer spitfires, considered
one of the hardest hitters in War Thunder. Sometimes, when you climb to a
certain altitude, your engine may get heated up, so you must maintain and
pace yourself accordingly. Britan’s planes are quite easy to play but not ideal
for new players.
Japan

Japanese planes have one of the best defences and attacking mechanisms.
They are light in weight and excellent climbers. Japan Plane Nation does not
offer planes with high speeds, so they lose against fighter aircraft with higher
speeds. They offer aircraft with medium cannons and machine guns.
China

China’s aircraft lineup is a mix of nations like the USA, Russia, and Japan. They
are either borrowed or captured from other nations. China will be a great
choice if you have trouble choosing a nation.
Italy

Italy’s aircraft comes with a greater force. They offer a premium vehicle, the
premium choice for most players named G.55S. The planes can be used in any
type of battle and will also dominate it. They are good at close air support and
can be equipped with lethal cannons.
France

The French aircraft are mostly borrowed from the US lineup, so you don’t see
many different aircraft in this nation. They have good boom and zoom tactics,
as well as a bomber that is good, better, and best. Some planes carry machine
guns and cannons, so they are not bad either.
Sweden

The Swedish aircraft offer a good lineup, for example, the A21-A3 and the
J21A-2. However, the nations lack aircraft for close support; hence, they are
good at close range. The firepower is also not up to par in starting lineup, and
the repair prices for the aircraft are too high at higher levels. Players mostly do
not consider it beginner-friendly.

obtain these Tier 1 nations and be lethal on the battlefield.

The A Tier comprises good tanks with different capabilities. In this tier, some

mechanisms. However, when it comes to the battlefield, all tanks are equally
worthy. This tier provides a plentiful number of options to choose from in the
tech tree.

The B Tier comprises average tanks. They have very few or very minimal
qualities, and some of them are very situational. These tanks are not designed
to handle every situation that may arise during gameplay, and you should not
rely on them. The tanks in this tier are generally small, offer no armor, and can
be easily destroyed by the enemy player. They have decent speed, which
keeps their value in the game sustainable.

The C Tier comprises the worst tank nations in the game. Except for a few truly
exceptional tanks, Chinese tanks provide no advantage on the battlefield. It’s
not like all tanks are bad; some of them are good and can be considered.
Choosing China as a tank nation may result in defeat during gameplay.
Best Tank Nation in War Thunder
(2023)
War Thunder also offers nine tanks to play as nations. They are the USA,
Germany, Russia, Great Britain, Japan, China, Italy, France and Sweden. Among
all the tanks, some are strong, and some do not offer good gameplay and will
just waste your gameplay time. This guide will help you choose the best tank
nation in War Thunder. The following is a brief overview of Tank Nation:

USA

This country has an abundance of medium tanks but not enough heavy tanks.
They are well-rounded tanks with mostly good armour and firepower. The
light tanks in the United States are more mobile and numerous than those in
other countries.
It also has the T95 and T28, which are super heavy and have different armour
mounts and cannons, and also has powerful open tank destroyers. These open
tanks have turrets, which is something that other nations like Germany and
Russia do not have. The mid-tanks can fire accurately up to 24 kilometres per
hour while moving, which is a huge advantage when used properly.

They have excellent armour and high-explosive penetrating ammo. The tanks
in USA nation offer good, reliable all-rounders; they can flank tanks when
angled properly and spank enemies pretty well. If you like to play with
medium tanks, they have the best ones. They offer good stabilizers when tanks
are moving faster, unlike other nations.

Germany
Germany provides the most accurate high-velocity guns for their tanks.
Despite the size and weight of the tanks, many of the 40+ tonne tanks,
including Panthers and Tigers, move as though they were very light. They do
not have turrets and are typically lower to the ground, but they have better
armour and a more powerful cannon. They have heavy armour and firepower.

Germans have a lot of heavy and medium panzers, panthers, tigers, and
leopards. They also have some low-weight tanks that are not up to the mark.
This nation is suitable for any mission, as each tank is proficient in nearly every
aspect of the game. But players have to learn to position their tanks efficiently
to reduce the damage taken.

Russia

The Russian tanks are powerful, efficient, fast, and full of power. There are an
estimated 135 tanks in Russia and they offer gameplay in a balanced manner.
Russian tanks are heavily armoured as well as accurate.
Players can ride all sorts of tanks, like anti-air, anti-tank, medium, or heavy
ones, and they are good at both defending and attacking. Russian tanks,
unlike German tanks, are built with a slope and can easily withstand damage.

Great Britain

It has one of the largest tech trees in all of War Thunder, so you get plenty of
options. They offer heavy and bulky tanks as well as light tanks and fast-
runner tanks. The tanks have high penetrating power and explosive firepower.

The tanks have high penetrating power and explosive firepower. Players
require a good weapon to take down their enemies. Tank support positions
for capture, as well as some additional tactical advances. This tank nation is
only for players who have prior War Thunder experience.
Japan

No Japanese tank has more than 75 mm of armour until the mid-levels. They
are lightly armoured tanks that are just poorly armoured in many cases.
Players must reach 7.0 level to buy a main tech tree vehicle with more than 75
mm of armour.

They are not fast and can be attacked by enemies easily. There are very few
tanks in Japan’s national tech tree. They have decent cannons, which pretty
much do the work.
China

China has a variety of semi-native light tanks as well as mid-to-high tanks.


They have lots of medium tanks and a lot of good all-rounders. Players can
easily capture points, kill enemies, and take damage depending on their
preference. The tank’s lineup is noticeably copied from different nations,
making the game less enjoyable for the players.
Italy

They have wheeled vehicles and are lightly armoured, including advanced
vehicles as well as a good number of familiar American tanks. Italy is excellent
at capturing points and flanking. Their light armour limits their frontline
effectiveness, but they are kings on urban maps with paved roads. They have
very little armour and defence, so they are mostly outplayed.
France

France has powerful cannons, though they can be inaccurate at times. They
have a few World War II-era vehicles for obvious reasons. The offered tanks
have decent speed and also possess a good arsenal. France’s Tanks
are balanced from lower to higher tiers, making them excellent all-rounders.
Sweden

The Swedish nation’s tanks are based largely on defensive doctrine. They have
relatively light armor and unique tank designs. They are generally fast tanks,
but not too agile, as they do not turn well. The Swedish role is to play a very
effective defensive role while also being a powerful offensive tool. Swedish
tanks can be used to ambush enemies and perform hit-and-run tactics.

Conclusion
This brings us to the end of this War Thunder best plane and tank nation 2023
list. Since the game is quite challenging, choosing the correct vehicle for your
battles is important. If you wish to choose the best, then only choose nations
from the A+ tier list, as they are the most powerful and can carry ready
ammunition, assisting you with a victory every time you use them.
