British +1 range out ranges 1/3 of defensive buildings. Can raid without need of tactics +15% loot increase adds up fast. Pretty simple to me. Why work hard when you can play smarter https://youtu.be/G9Koa550Yas
French for me.
Extra +6 alliance troops is great for war both on offence and defense. Faster troop train time also means retraining is pretty fast even without a TB. Special tanks are also really good with my army comp and can chew through most bases.
Have to give credit to the Brits though; so hard to defend against them.
Greeks because of the tanks, both stats and looks. As much as everyone rags on the Greek abilities I definitely find them handy, particularly refunding me extra oil (~10000+) from upgrades. Also get a few hundred thousand gold and food now as well.
In atomic age I can finish upgrades almost an hour early which can be useful for keeping upgrades rolling through to better fit my schedule.
I'd personally love a buff but there's nothing I actively dislike about them either so no real complaints.
There's no need to be rude, I wasn't saying Greeks are amazing or anything, just pointing out that the nation bonuses are a nice little bonus.
Plus I don't rely on the other national advantages to win battles, just tactical experience.
I play as the Koreans and Germans. I like both heavy tank inyourface approach and power of the Germans and I like the rifle power of the Koreans - plus the Koreans base looks nice. Two different styles and I have fun with both.
Your rankings are close. Your top 3 are what most would say are the top 3 in terms of war. I disagree but everyone has an opinion! I'd just slide Germans to 3 bases on the archer meda being so good in this game.
