The USA is the classic starting nation. Its tech trees are deep and flexible across ground, air and naval, so you rarely lack a good vehicle at any Battle Rating.
In the air, American props reward simple boom-and-zoom energy tactics, while the jet line runs all the way to the F-14 Tomcat. On the ground, US tanks favour mobility, good gun handling and reverse speed over thick armour.
If you have never played War Thunder before, the USA (or the USSR) is the safest place to learn the ropes.
