More about the vehicles:

LVT ZiS-2
(USA Rank II)

Type 62
(USSR Rank IV)

Ki-21 hei
(Japan Rank I)

Me 262A-2a Sturmvogel
(Germany Rank V)

The Soviet super-penetrating ZiS-2 cannon on the chassis of the floating American tank - that’s how Chinese engineers redesigned the U.S. LVT-4. This vehicle will appear at the second rank in the U.S. tree once you compete 6 stages of the marathon.

The classic layout scheme and a very familiar silhouette. The Chinese Type 62 is ideal for Soviet tankers. As a lightweight version of the Type 59 (the vehicle weighs 15 tons less), the Type 62 is known for its mobility and 85mm cannon that will cover not only you, but also your ally.

With the introduction of Japanese ground forces, the Emperor's army needs good cover from the skies. The Ki-21 - a twin-engine bomber, offers great defensive weaponry with no “blind zones”, a good bomb load and is maneuverable enough to destroy half of the enemy team in one raid - just ask them politely to drive close to each other. 

Can anyone win with 30 mm cannons? Yes. What about rocket boosters? Sure. With 48 rockets under the wings? Well, yes. Yes, even with the 50mm cannon. More? Now you can also carry bombs!
“Schwalbe”, gentlemen. Classical "Swallow", which just lost 2 of the 4 30mm cannons for the ability to carry bombs. The finishing touch to a collection for German pilots and players that appreciate the power and beauty.
