Ni hao, dear friends!
We’re pleased to announce a new nation making their entry into War Thunder update 1.91 - China! One of the oldest civilizations in the world, with a rich and dramatic historical background, especially during the 20th century.
The initial line-up of Chinese vehicles available in War Thunder features tanks, fighter aircraft and bombers which were used during World World II and shortly thereafter, and will show just how turbulent the history of the country’s military in the 20th century was. Players will be able to pilot aircraft employed by foreign volunteers from the Flying Tigers regiment which helped China fight against Imperial Japan, make use of captured Japanese vehicles, and command military imports from the USSR, as well as local variants of Soviet MiG jets and American Patton tanks (which formed part of China’s military).
Each vehicle in War Thunder’s initial Chinese vehicle tree was historically used by the nation of China at some point. The Henschel Hs 123A-1, for example, was imported by the Chinese Nationalist forces from Germany, and was used against the Imperial Japanese Navy during battles at the Yangtze river.
Immediately after the release of update 1.91 “Night Vision”, all players will gain access to an initial selection of Chinese ground-force vehicles and aircraft.
Players who wish to gain access to the entire Chinese tech tree as fast as possible can do so by fulfilling a series of in-game tasks in War Thunder, or by purchasing one of the Chinese pre-order packs that include a premium vehicle, in-game currency, premium account time, and cosmetic items. One of the packs will grant access to the aircraft tech tree, and the other one will open the ground vehicles tech tree.

i dont like the fact that 90% are just copy tanks
Why are you introducing another nation when half of the nations in the game are unfinished british cruiser line ,French low teir medium line ,armoured cars for all nations .Fixes for tanks like the S.35 and its god awful reload that should only be in high tier. So while we scrubs are grinding at the bottom trying to improve we have to start again on another .Yes new nations are great but not at the expense of failing to finish nations already started .either finish them or don't bring more in .
What is even the point of this tree? Its 98% reskins from the American and Soviet trees. And out of the few Chinese built vehicles most are just ripoffs of Soviet tanks. The only feasible reason I could see this making any sense whatsoever is if you were merging the Chinese client with the normal one. But EVEN THAT can't there are Nationalist and Taiwanese used vehicles in there, and I can't imagine the Chinese government would accept that. This is just a massive waste of everyone's time
You people in the comments ought to be ashamed of yourselves. All I see is petulant whining from man children. We've known the tree has been on the Chinese server for years and you knew fully well it was full of copy/paste vehicles. Of course it's all license-built foreign models, it's CHINA! They didn't have an indigenous mbt design until the 1980's. Fixing the game will take time and we will have to wait until a later update, so please start acting like mature adults.
How can they act like adults when most of the are young kids who playing on their parents computer?
What about the He 111 E that was used ?
VI tier premium aircraft, really gaijin? I thought that was the one rule you wouldn't broke, premium top tiers.
Or Rank VIII is also being introduced this update. Mig and Phantom may not be the top dawgz
It's rank 5.
If china will come...there are changes for Yugo , Romania , Hungary too...
Not enough for Hungary
GeT_BaLaNcEd_SoN, Why?
安东我爱你 Anton，I love you
Would love Britain to get an aircraft above Mach 1 this update, a man can dream
at last great news gaijin
