Germany:
Careful German engineering made German vehicles the most accurate around. Use these tanks’s accuracy to their fullest and you will master the battlefield. The famous 88mm L/71 gun boasts one of the best overall accuracy's in game and is available on many of the tanks, including the PzKpfw VI Tiger and the PzKpfw V Panther.
German light tanks are the most manoeuvrable, making it much easier to zigzag and avoid gunfire while trying to penetrate enemy lines.
German medium tanks tend to be larger targets than their counterparts, but if you keep this in mind and stay at a distance, the German guns will make a short work of your enemies.
German heavy tank’s thick armor allows them to tread safely over everything on the battlefield as they creep towards the enemy base.
German tank destroyers are fairly big and thus hard to hide, but have the thickest armor in the game. Combine this armor with powerful cannons and the accuracy of a sniper, and these tanks can destroy higher-tier tanks from across the battlefield.
German self-propelled guns are accurate and very fast, allowing them to quickly change position after launching a shell and dodge any counter-fire lobbed in their direction. They may not have as much firepower as their counterparts, but are unmatched in accuracy and manoeuvrability.

USSR:
Soviet engineers focused on large calibre guns. As a result, their tanks have the highest damage values around. Because the smaller tanks couldn't compete with their counterparts' armor thickness, acute armor slope values compensated, enabling good chances of a shell ricochet. Very cold Russian winters forced the tank developers to use diesel engines to lessen the chances of fuel freezing in the gas tank. This is also why the Soviet tanks' engines have a lower chance of catching on fire compared to their gasoline-powered counterparts.
Soviet light tanks are typically the fastest in the game and, like most Soviet tanks, have a small frontal profile and sloped armor.
Soviet medium tanks are also fast and manoeuvrable, but in order to make the tanks compact, engineers placed ammo storage in very vulnerable places, increasing the chance of ammo rack detonation.
Soviet heavy tanks have the best values for everything except accuracy; their frontal armor thickness and slope make them almost invulnerable from the front.
Soviet tank destroyers make up for their lack of accuracy with brute firepower.
Soviet self-propelled guns are generally quite accurate but don't do much damage. However, they also generally fire their shells in a very high arc, making their flight time long, but able to hit tanks hiding behind rocks and small buildings.

USA:
American tanks are overall great tanks having good manoeuvrability, power, and accuracy, making them exceptionally versatile. American tanks also have some of the highest rate of fire, giving them the highest damage per minute with good accuracy, but they do lack hull armor.
American light tanks pack a bit more of a punch than their counterparts, but do lack a bit in manoeuvrability and speed.
American medium tanks are perfect for variable strategies as they are able to both move quickly and deliver the firepower when needed.
American heavy tanks have very weak hulls compared to their counterparts, but have nearly-impenetrable front turret armor.
American tank destroyers have varied playing styles. The line starts out with typical tank destroyer playing style with great cannons and the tier 5 and 6 tank destroyers have turrets. Higher tier tank destroyers are very well armed and armoured, but are extremely slow, so tread carefully.
American self-propelled guns have good speed, but low acceleration. Their accuracy and firepower land somewhere between the Soviet and German artillery. This mix of speed, fair accuracy, and firepower makes them the best overall artillery.
