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.

Although Chinese technology tree rank I-IV like a mix of US & USSR, that's because backward industry in China during WW2. Rank Vwiil be Chinese independent research and development vehicles, please trust Chinese military.
China has a military presence in the modern world
*Cought* Ctrl+C Ctrl+V *Boom* New tech tree guys, here you have another copy paste vehicles. Would you like to preorder access to reskinned vehicles just for 20 bucks?
How many trees are you going to fill with U.S vehicles
As a Chinese saying goes "Sherman , son of many" :)
The People's Republic of China never used the 76mm armed T-34. The "Type T-34" is totally made up by world of tanks. That is unless the Chinese tree is meant to encompass nearby communist countries, like Vietnam and North Korea, going by the fact that the Vietnamese Type 65 is there; those vehicles should be marked as such and not have the PRC flag.
im pretty sure type 65 served in PLA instead of Vietnamese army.
What have you done?! This is the worst thing I've ever seen in patch development.
Then you havent seen Fallout 76, Mass Effect Andromeda, Star Wars Battlefront II, Battlefield V or Anthem
1.91 Clone War
I like how this nation has quite a number of vehicles burrowed from other nations that we have ingame but the nations where they actually came from ingame dont have them, Gaijin please do add these vehicles into the other nations tech tree like the SDKFZ 222 in the German SPAA line please
$50 for a pack and it doesn't even unlock both trees???
Why are you complaining? It's Gaijin... We already knew Gaijin would do that.
oh hey, the USASSR tree
japmanusassr*
You know, yea Chinese tanks are 90% copy paste but they also got some ''original'' designes, you guys could copy some tanks from World of Tanks like WZ series
Now that China is on the global client, they will actually bring new vehicles to it, before it stagnated with the same bunch for years in the Chinese client. I don't doubt we'll get more unique Chinese ones down the future.
