What are the strengths and weaknesses of the three nations tanks?

Germans: Accurate guns, reasonable armour.
Russians: Guns pack a punch but not as accurate, most tanks are quite fast, good armour (a lot of people moan they are op, cus the game developers are Russian)
USA: good all round guns, reasonable armour (there heavies haven't got the best hull armour but the turrets are nigh on invulnerable)

On the whole German tanks are generally snipers, Russians are rushing close in fighters, and Americans probably a mix of the two.

American tanks have uber front armour and fuckall side armour.

I wouldn't say they have uber frontal armour tbh, it's average their side armour is slightly lower, but on the whole thats to make up for the super strong turrets.

Their tank destroyers are more along the lines like that until you get the t95. American tier 7 and 8 Heavies are also like that.

Quite frankly, tier 7 and 8 heavies have the best armor overall compared to their counterparts which is why I loved them.

Their TD's have good armour, The T-25, has better armour than both the Jagdpanther and SU-152, on everywhere except the rear.

Oh ya definitely, however. The tank destroyers before them tend to have shit side armor but great front armor, t28 also doesn't have good side armor but great front armor.

My Easy 8 has been printing credits this weekend cause of Sherman's birthday or whatever. Gets like 50k per decent game, pretty much premium tank levels of cash. Is awesome.

Himmelsdorf loading music reminds me of enemy at the gates lol

Been nailing this special weekend, made ~2.5mil credits in my Easy 8

Bought the T20, T-34-85, researched and bought the 122mm for the T34, researched and bought the KV-3 and put improved vent on most tanks too

T34 us heavy, T32, M12, M41, KV, KV-3, T-34-85, T20, SU-100, hoping to get the IS-4 before they swap it to tier 10 but doubt I will, should get the T30 though.

When they do make the changes to the us and russia lines I should get a free KV-2, KV-4, M103?(t9 us heavy), T110 and then obviously the free slots/crew, plus the T34 premium should be good to earn money with

Yeah might be able to, will be a bit of a grind to get there though when I start my new job.

The T32 with the upgraded turret is one of my fav tanks, look forward to that

When the IS4 gets replaced by a different tier 9 tank that will get added and is4 becomes tier 10, when kv3 gets replaced by a different tier 6 tank and kv3 becomes teir 7, when kv gets split into the kv 1 and kv 2 tanks, when t34 gets replaced by m103 heavy tank and t34 becomes a teir 8 premium, when t30 gets replaced by t110 and t30 becomes a tier 9 tank destroyer. Unfortunately, the devs aren't going to make these changes anytime soon. The release plan I posted a few posts above may not actually be the times the tanks get replaced, but I think it is pretty much accurate considering it takes devs forever to add new shit in.

Edit: Russians will have 2 separate Heavy tank branches just like Germany has now.
