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.

I'm all for new nations that could help with the SB match-up at top tier and add variety to the game overall. But when everything in that nation is quite literally a direct copy of vehicles already in the game, with any genuinely new and unique vehicles being marked as "soon" or "planned" it just goes to show how complacent the publisher/devs are becoming. Rather than grabbing a quick buck could you not have held back on the release so that the "new" nation would actually come with new vehicles?
That said it would be nice to see the new vehicles when/if they release.
Oh wow, you took vehicles from all the other nations, smashed them all together and put a different name on it.Barvo! Look I get that you're trying, but just stop for once in your life and listen to the community for once. I know you're trying to fix all these problems, but just devote 1-2 months on improving the game rather then just hiding the problems with new stuff, the problems are still going to be there. Look i fell in love with the game back in 2016 and id hate to see it destroy itself..
we need type96 VT4,VT5,type99a!
and type15
Great Awesome Job Gaijin play as the Chinese and with Soviets Russia that be great for SB modes finally they get a ally to team up with :D
I thought we were getting a Swedish tech tree, like you talked about not too long ago. RIP my hype.
copy paste tree that will make RB even worse, horrible idea...
let alone SB...
just need M48 Brave Tiger(CM-11 Brave Tiger)
What a mess.
It's a shame that the majority of the player population in this game are millenials. Nearly every dev blog is filled with complaints. Most of them being omg why did you put that in and not this or how about. Omg why are you putting more stuff in instead of fixing this. It's like you folks are living in your parents basements and having a seriously hard time reaching a 1-1 kill to death ratio.
Hang on a sec. Will the type 59 adding something called “The second generation shell” which can be launched by a 105mm rifled WITH 600 penetration at 2000 metre? What about the smooth bore 125? Similar as the Soviet data?
Oh, actually 500mm at 2000m
