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.

Every single vehicle in that tree is already in the game but guess a fresh coat of paint means people will overlook that
Ctrl+C Ctrl+V for profit
It’s ok I’m glad to see them added because China has a large military presence in the modern world.
Swedish tree soon? : )
Hopefully
Agreed. Something that actually have UNIQUE tanks, aircraft and ships.. But hey - copy past existing stuff instead! Whata waste..
Thanks, I hate it.
yes thank you gaijin for making all my rare event vehicles worthless by making a tech tree anyone can access with all the event vehicles in it.
Exactly iIfinally just got the LVT(A)(4)ZIS-2 after opening the battle trophy 6 times and here it is for everyone for basically no effort at all.
WARNERwinsGAMING, Tbf, it's your fault you decided to open 6 battle trophies for it. Not gaijins.
Chinese server - Copy Global server - Paste Done
Eew I don't like this
Imagine China getting a super sonic before the brits
They do, look at the aircraft tree, Chinese Mig-21
CrazyJow, what the actual *!%&)£" )%!&*%&! )&!£ (* *70&£*^* ^£ &!£^ )£)^ &*^)&* ^!£&)*^^ THEY DO
This is the point where we truly know this game is lost...
AliciaStark, We very much hope that you will spend all of your money on copy paste premiums until the server-shutdown.
ThaisS, it's their choice isn't it? Just like it is your choice not to touch the Chinese trees if you don't want to.
YEEEEESSSSSS YEESSS
No
alexlaza, Yes
nooo come on why china? sweden has your own vehicles. china will be an other germany with the sme case american and russian vehicles but china has less national vehicles. why china, not sweden?
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.
Because they didn't need to put any effort into this, it was already on the Chinese servers so they just ported it to this instead of making completely new vehicles, doesn't mean Sweden won't come in the future now though as that pretty much the only major nation left they could add
