Sliding windows may not be optimal for a hard continental climate.
For me it allows to not move anything on the sill while venting the room.

My windows can tilt. Not in the same way, but you can either slide them up or tilt them in. And besides, is being able to tilt your windows really that great?

You’ll get ice on the sides, these can’t be sufficiently hermetic.

only time I’ve ever had ice build up on the inside of a window was when the window was end of life and the AC broke and it was -35 F
