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.

Well... China tech tree, nice gaijin, wdnmd A nation full of vehicles from other nations, that will be fun indeed, looking forward to it : )
YES! Thanks Gaijin!
Why does the fricking CHINESE get a tech tree M8 Greyhound and an M4A4?! HOW THE HELL DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? Why does a common armored car built and used in very large numbers by the US become a premium, whereas the ROC, who were lend leased a few hundred get it in the tech tree?
So you can moan because you missed the event. That's the reason.
Very usefull tech tree absolutely splendid.
NICE both the M8 scout car and the 222 are in their normal tree while the M8 was a premium event vehicle and Germany doesn't even have a 222
No matter what, I think 1.91 can be the greatest patch ever.
No
Me too
Wow, yesterday I said add China, North Korea and Israel, and today, we have China. How about add North Korea tomorrow?
Add a 3rd Soviet nation? No, thanks. What about fixing all the bugs instead copy and paste other's nation vehicles?
Wow, an entire new tech tree. I honestly didn't expect such a large patch xD
Entire new tech tree? 90% of the vehicles are just reskins of ones we already have.
Sweet. I think that the diversity is good. It allows people to represent their perspective country. I just wish the USA tech tree got all of the USA planes designed for/by them.
Thank you Gaijin!
