However while most Chinese tanks have (comparably) poor hull armor their turret armor is unparalleled, sometimes even surpassing the hull armor values of heavy tanks.Ĭhinese Light Tanks are fast, agile, and have good penetration and alpha damage. They also have very poor module health, and their modules are densely placed, resulting in frequent crew loss, destroyed tracks, fuel tank fires, and ammo racks. However, they have very poor gun depression, even worse than German or Soviet tanks, and arguably the worst in the game. They still play as you would expect but can often change their combat role a bit when necessary. The premiums Type 64 and M41D were produced and developed by the ROC from Taiwan, which strongly resemble some USA light tanks characteristics, being somewhat agile with a fast firing gun.įor the most part Chinese tanks have unparalleled mobility, good camouflage values, and sloped armor, making them very flexible regardless of if they're heavy, medium, or light. The Type 59 main battle tank and Type 62 light tank were the first Chinese tanks to be mass produced. By the late 1950's China began developing its own tanks by making modifications and improvements on the Soviet T-54 design. In the early 1950's China was heavily influenced by vehicles of other nations, notably the T-34 and the IS-2, which were provided to China by the Soviets together with design and fabrication assistance for local production. Chinese tanks through Tier IV represent this period. Prior to 1950 China relied on foreign-made tanks purchased from or supplied by France ( Renault NC31), Britain ( Vickers Mk.E B), and the USA ( M5A1 Stuart), as well as tanks seized from Japan at the end of WWII ( Chi-Ha). These tanks tend to carry the largest possible calibers into battle but pay heavily for the privilege.Ĭhina's tank development consisted of three phases. Vehicles imported into the 20th-century Chinese warlord states and Republic of China that were used in WW2 and Chinese Civil War in early tiers, and the vehicles designed by People's Republic of China (Communist China) and Republic of China (Taiwan).
