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.

At last, there shall be now, at top tier, a proper EAST VS WEAT Matchmaking! USSR+China VS NATO! Yaaaaaaaay!!!
WEST*
never hear of sino-soviet split?
comradeeeee here is idea: Copy and paste US and USSR vehicles and call it China techtree !!!1"!!!!!1!!! VERY NICE IDEA KOMRADE ))))))
I will drink a beer each time all of you whiners out there say "Copy and Paste"
Fungusar_DK, it is copy and paste
Yes! A copied and pasted MiG-17 that has AAMs as a tech tree's premium, a copied and pasted Soviet T-62 that has no difference in appearance, a nation that is filled with copied and pasted vehicles (licensed)! That is totally what we have expected you to do gaijin! Well done pissing us off!
Yeah but Chinese players will LOVE it, and there is potentially a LOT more of them than you whiney yanks.....
lola06, chinese players play on chinese gameservers for the most this nation add is pointless, Gaijin will see it sooner than they think.
Neat. I shall meme there now being a Type 69 and entirely ignore this tree.
Finally, the Soviets can have some allies in SB
The only real benefit to this Dev Blog in my opinion! :D
DodgerRoger, Oh yeah so great for SB qith american and Brittish planes flyign along side soviet ones, cant see that causing aaany problems......
So, can we now have proper NATO MM? No Germany vs US friendly fire?
Magnitude 10 Bruh Moment detected.
This was just made to make a nation really quickly using already in-game assets and flips some packs to make a quick buck. Creating more "hype" for a nation with vehicles we already have and played to keep our attention away from the whole "fix the game please" movement going on at the moment. This is extremely sad Gaijin. I wish you'd just listen to the community for once and stopped pretending to be the all-knowing being you think you are. It's almost like none of the employees play the game.
Gaijin: *Sees #FixTheGameIn1.91* So what you're saying is you want a new tech tree?
With what looks like 3 new vehicles in the entire tech tree, HYPE TIME!!!
80% or plus the vehicles is already in the game, -YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS A BRAND NEW NATION TO WAR THUNDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is kinda joke... -Community: Fix the game in 1.91 -Gaijin: No, what about a "new" nation with almost all the vehicles we already have in the game? No more than 12hours of work?! -Community: Oh sht, I'm hyped!! Some chinese tanks looks like cool, but its like grind 10 or so tanks I already have, to use one new...
the only chinese vehicles that are were not bought or captured from foreign nations, or that are not simplified copies of soviet vehicles started to appear in the last 20-30 years - and WT doesn't really cover the last 30 years, so... WHAT'S THE POINT? (ok, chinese market is huge and stuff, but again, WHAT'S THE POINT?)
Money, lots of it.... lots of Chinese players gonna buy the sheet out of this abundance of premium packs that is coming in 1.91 update. sad stuff, but they do it for the money, not for the players, ultimately.
并不是这样的，中国政府不允许出现现役装备的内构图，可以使用外观，像坦克世界那样，但不允许出现像战争雷霆这样的，gaijin在中国历史文件和外贸型中建造的模型，当然99系列坦克估计是不会与现实相符合，因为这些事国家机密，就如美国M1A2一样，现役装备是不会泄露出任何参数
