    USA or Germany?

    I have started playing war thunder this week again after a long break, looking at the 2 tech trees that i have grinded to roughly 6.0-6.7 BR at this point, and i cant decide which country i sjould settle for.

    My end goal is reaching modern tanks, i also am more drawn to cold war and later eras more than WW2 stuff.

    I know all about how top tier is a shitstorm for most, but im still interested in the experience of others:

    1. How do 6.0-8.0 US tanks fare in games?
    2. Will it be difficult to play US 6.3 with the 76 jumbo and m4 sherman with 90mm gun, considering King Tigers and similar hostile tanks?
    3. Abrams is my favourite tank of them all. The sound and turret ring disadvantages aside, can the Abrams be competitive?
    4. How good is American SPAA?
    5. How do US helicopters compare to German ones?

    These questions are more or less just thoughts ive had. Overall i am interested in experiences from both nations players.

    P.S. Im sleep deprived and typing this, the questions probably are a little goofy at best, but all insights are welcome

    9.3 is not justifiable for this fatass

    Bad flight performance, 2 bad missiles and facing mig-21 and mig-23. Is it justified? Or am I missing something?

    Ground tank engine sound problems.

    Does anyone suffer from the same problem?

    I used to be able to hear enemy engine tanks and determine their aproximate location in the past.

    Now i can only hear tanks when they are around 100m. Once they get closer my own engine sounds get some kind of priority over any other sound (even if enemy engine sounds is at 100% and mine at 27%) and i either hear the enemy tank still far away or i don't hear him at all, leading to him being right next to me, giving me hugs and kisses.

    From being able to use this ability to equalize the advantage over ULQ players, now it's gone.

    EDIT: The vehicle with the most noticeable effect of this is the Challenger 2 BN

    Sweden 3.7 is insufferable

    9 of 10 times, the team with the Sweden players wins. It's just so damn boring. It takes the joy completely out of the low tiers to see lvl 100 players dominate games with broken-ass vehicles.

    Doesn't matter how hard I try, I just don't have a fighting chance. And if I'm on their team, they just hog up all the kills and win the game in 5 minutes. SO. DAMN. LAME. AND. BORRING.

    Please nerf them or something.

    Why don't we have better nuke aircraft now?

    I know i'm not the only one that thinks that a flareless jaguar with no missiles and a shitty RWR is absolute ASS for trying to nuke in top tier. Same thing with the SU-7, all it takes is someone to hover their mouse over you and launch a 30G IRCCM missile at you and your 2500sp all evaporates because someone used 0.1% of their brain.

    I know for a fact we have much better planes in game that are capable of carrying nukes, so why haven't we gotten them yet?

    What my team sees vs what the enemy team sees

    What our team saw

    What the enemy team saw

    I can understand unfair terrain since it's hard to design and fix, but why have the sun blind only one team?

    Lagging/freezing issues

    Since the last patch I've had nothing but freezing/lagging issues on my Xbox one. I know it's not the Xbox as no other game has this issue. I'm in 5.3/5.7 if that matters. I'm just really confused and nothing seems to help so far.

    Should I switch from Rank 5 America to literally any other nation?

    I've realized how atrocious rank 6 america is and I'm not sure if i want to commit all that time to end up with mediocre top tier tanks. I'm thinking of switching to either germany or sweden despite having barely any research in those trees (rank 3 and 1 respectively).

    Horrible map challenge

    Drop a map name in the comments. If it's a bad map (likely) I will state what I believe to be the biggest problem, or just why it's a bad map, and give it a letter grade.

    If it's a good map, I'll drop a ranking of where it belongs in the top echelon

    Additional input welcome
