Chinese Air and Ground Forces - Become a tester!
A large army needs a major debut! China’s aviation and armoured vehicles arrive in War Thunder! We are beginning the closed beta testing.
During CBT the possibility to research and purchase the Chinese vehicles will be limited. Players that achieve a status of tester or purchase the packs specific to this CBT will be able to research and purchase new vehicles.
How to become a tester
From 11:00 GMT on the 11th of September until 11:00 GMT on the 20th of October.
Get 12 “Tester stars” of one of the forces types to get unlimited access to the Chinese research tree in aviation or ground vehicles. You can obtain 1 star per day for each force type (ground and air).
“Tester star” for tankers
- Win 5 times with a game activity of 60% or higher whilst controlling ground vehicles of rank III-VII.
“Tester star” for pilots
- Win 5 times with a game activity of 60% or higher whilst flying aircraft of rank III-VI.
For example, by getting 12 “Tester stars” for pilots in the “Chinese aviation CBT” you will get access to the research and purchase of all Chinese aircraft.

Why test vehicles that have been in the game for over 3 years?
ha ha ha ....
Yeah No, Come back when you Fix the Camo of the Chinese Tanks so they don't break Simulator Battles
lol or maybe pay attention to tank markings
Achronicdeth, you realise not everyone puts markings on their tanks, right? not only that, but marking are pretty much invisible past a certain distance.
No worst they gave china a Tu-4 at br 7.3 that thing decintigrates jets at 8.0 but at 7.3 were f5/ked
No, I most certainly wont be a "tester" for this. Get them out of sim, no one wants to have the same vehicles on both sides.
this update is a flop
If there will be more high rank Chinese vehicles like ZTZ96 and ZTZ99,you will change your mind.
Imo "The Art of War" would've made a fantastic name for the update. Even better than "Night Vision"
And that's a fact!
SaltyWound, Must be the intended update name until night vision actually worked...
That's a nice one!
Gratz Gaijin, you messed the game up even more, THANK YOU A LOT!
How?
All answers (2)tinygerman26, How indeed, maybe give an actual viable solution and state what the issue is instead of complaining - just saying it's bad doesn't help
Why Would I Want To Test Vehicles We Already Have? And Besides, Give Vehicles A Distinct Camo. Or Make Every Nation Get Historical Camo. Japan Never Had That Kind Of Blue On Their Vehicles You Seem To Love So Much.
To use an M18 agaisnt M18s while having russian vehicles at the same time- basically to have a meme nation
*EmyR_11, they just managed to literally throw their game away. Germany/China, why play anything else? eventually these 2 nations will get the best vehicles in the game if Gaijin somewhat how don't make NATO/Tawian x Warsaw Pact/GDR/China
Who on earth would test vehicles that have been in the game for years? Let alone vehicles with incorrect flags.
This is awesome! I'm really stoked you guys actually went ahead and added China to the game. Honestly, I doubted you would with all the naysayers and haters about. I'm definitely going to be testing both air and ground Chinese forces. Terrific work, Gaijin! o7
trying to keep your status from dropping i see
All answers (1)blackbeard_teach, He plays only AB, the "developer game mode". That's why he doesn't understand why the game is broken
I guess you are an arcade player.
ThaisS, lol sounds like one
plz just remove the copy/paste techtree from sim - or split them to the corresponding side - it´s just a mess
the tech tree will be empty
US+USSR+Japan+UK+France=China ?!?! No thank you.
Don't forget their also getting a German anti air
