Which War Thunder nation is best for someone who likes both tanks and aircraft?

I'm trying to decide which nation to focus on, but every recommendation seems to be "pick this one because it's the best."

I enjoy tanks and aircraft, so I'd prefer a nation where I can explore both instead of getting bored after unlocking a few vehicles.

Is there a sensible way to compare the trees without spending hours looking at every single vehicle?

See comparing War Thunder nations, choosing a ground vehicle tree, and choosing an aircraft research tree.

Start with the vehicles you actually like. The best tree on paper isn't necessarily the one you'll enjoy playing.

Check the lineups at the BR ranges you're interested in. One vehicle looking great doesn't mean the entire lineup will be balanced for your playstyle.

I picked a nation because its tanks looked cool. This is apparently how serious strategic decisions are made.

Honestly, that's a perfectly valid reason. You're playing a game, not choosing a university degree.

Also compare aircraft if CAS is important to you. The ground tree alone won't tell you everything.

And don't worry about researching every nation eventually. You can explore other trees later when you know what you prefer.
