An Agonizingly Long Development History of the ZTZ96

The ZTZ96 is China’s most advanced second generation main battle tank (MBT). But its history actually extends well before the ZTZ96 actually appeared and its development history is extremely messy (not that any tank development project is ever neat), filled with several weird prototypes and secretive vehicles. So, let’s take a look at the history of this tank’s development, its main variants, and all of those weird 1-off prototypes that never made it to production.

Sd.Kfz.222 – The Speedy Scout

The Sd.Kfz.222 was a German armoured car used during the Second World War. This vehicle had a great deal of history and was deemed very useful during the early years of World War II. With its very high speeds and effective 20 mm cannon, this vehicle was very useful for quick close-combat situations. This article will explain this armoured vehicle’s history, armaments, mobility, and gameplay.

The Legendary Gongchen Tank – The History of the first PLA tank

The Gongchen tank would become the first tank in service with the People’s Liberation Army. It helped the army of the Chinese Communist Party in numerous battles, including the siege of Jinzhou. A symbol of the PLA’s humble beginnings and its triumphant, hard-fought revolutionary spirit, paving the way for a modern armored force.

A-5C | The History of the Export Fantan

The A-5C (Q-5III/强-5III), NATO reporting name: Fantan, is the export version of the Nanchang Q-5 during the early days of China’s paid military sales in the 1980s. China was in desperate need of funding after economic reforms, and since previous aircraft exports were essentially given as aid rather than sales, military factories were also searching for a means to generate funds for their new projects.

T-26 — British Communist

The British Vickers Mk. E had an unusual fate. In its home country, it never entered service or was produced in significant quantities. However, it became known as one of the best tanks of its time thanks to its production in the USSR under the designation T-26. Soviet tanks saw action in Spain, Finland, and China, and more than 10,000 were produced.

The Knowledge about Decal “Super Over-Limit” Sign

April 2026's Monthly Decal collection included one from China: the “Super Over-Limit” (CN: 超级超限) sign. This article will introduce some relevant knowledge about this decal to all the readers. The content of the article includes the decal’s meaning, function, common situations, and so on. I will also show some methods and wagons used for transporting the vehicles through the whole of China.

History in a Hurry: CW-21

The Curtiss-Wright CW-21 was a fighter designed in the late 1930s for export. It saw service with the Republic of China and the Netherlands, with both using it against the Japanese, and featured a very impressive rate of climb.

The baby P-47 – A history of the P-43 Lancer

The Republic P-43 Lancer, introduced in 1940, was a transitional American fighter that bridged the gap between prewar designs and the more advanced aircraft of World War II. It offered respectable high-altitude performance for its time, along with decent armament, similar to its more popular successor, the P-47 Thunderbolt. The P-43 provided valuable experience in high-altitude operations and combat testing, with some serving in China under the American Volunteer Group and later the Chinese Air Force.

Object 122MT "MC": China's Unique Hybrid

The Object 122MT “MC” is a unique tank that perhaps unfortunately, often flies under the radar for many players.

PT-76 — Its a floater!

The PT-76 is a legendary amphibious combat vehicle designed by Soviet engineers specifically to cross Europe’s rivers and other water obstacles. Unfortunately, in the game, its amphibious capability is rarely useful, and this comes at the cost of extremely thin armor. On the other hand, this machine has a two-plane stabilizer and HEAT shells that can punch through almost any armor. So, how can you make the most of this unusual “swimmer”? Read on!
