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.

Right what we needed right now instead of fixing the game.
Right? After all adding two more tech trees in the game right now will surely improve the balance
You people still don't get it, do you? Adding new vehicles or trees isn't going to slow down rebalancing and bug fixing at all, and spamming gaijin with the same message on every devblog they release won't do shit. Maybe you should go to the forums and make a thread about it. Half the people in this community contradict eachother and then claim that everyone agrees with them. It takes a little while, but if enough people agree on an idea on the forums, gaijin will almost certainly listen.
Fantastic, so we are getting a "new" techtree filled with american (and some english) stuff followed by russian stuff followed by copies of russian stuff... yup a new techtree i will not touch at all. Well done.
Remember it's to cover up the maus and how broken shell mechanics are currently...
and japanese and german stuff too!
Well... the copy/paste trees are here. Admit Gaijin, you made that in one weekend?
Not even a weekend... more like one shorter all-nighter.... disappointing stuff, actually!!
They didn't make it. It was a port from the Chinese server.
A mix of Russian and American vehicles... It's not a new tree, it's boring...
Then don’t play it. Nothing is forcing you to play it.
kamikazi21358, did he said anywhere he going to play it?
CHINA WILL GROW LARGER
IS THAT CnC REFERENCE?!?!?!1111
WE WILL LIVE IN PROSPERITY! BATTLEMASTER TANK REPORTING! WE ARE THE RED GUARD!
Yeeeeeeeeah, a nation comprised of copy paste vehicles, the community deeeeeeefinetely wanted this, we definetely didn't want any other nation but this one. Well done gaijin!
It's true, they have finally stopped listening... Just more paywall vehicles, broken shell mechanics and absolutely no idea what most war thunder players want. Fair matchmaking, Fix the trees, anything that can't fire heat or sabo should be 7.3 or lower. Anything that packs propper heat or sabo should be 8.0 upwards. There I fixed the problem.
*M4D_MARK_XTr3Me, what´s with 7.7?
Sdkfz 222 before Germany... M8 Greyhound when US only has it as a event vehicle.... M4A4 before the UK.... T-62 Premium despite China never putting the T-62 in service....
Yeah, how about the LVT (A) (4) zis-2 that I finally just got after opening the battle trophy in the warbound shop 6 TIMES!!!! So glad i wasted all of that effort grinding when now they're just giving it away.
WARNERwinsGAMING, u make someone rich :)
Can't wait to see all of you people grinding for vehicles that you already have in other trees. This is an out-of-season April Fools joke.
Players choice
Imagine paying for a mig you already have to grind a mig you already have, I won't play this for a second and the only thing I'll miss out on is having an m18 and t34 85 in the same lineup
Thanks Gaijin. I hate it. Guess I'll stop playing the game now. (Im serious)
k bye :)
Cya, one season player down
It's literally all copy paste
Well at least the USSR might have more friends in SB mode! )))
