So, you want to make a localization mod, but you don’t know where or how to start. Well this is the all-in-one guide for them. This guide is here because, though the standard localization instructions and localization guidelines on the wiki have some great information, they are missing some key information too. Information about file structures, what texts are in which files, how to add files, and how to rename vehicles and weapons are all missing from it. So, to remedy that issue, here is a better guide.

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.

So you know that weird, fugly boat tank that looks like an M18 and a Ka-Chi had a kid and then went to the store for milk? Let’s talk about that.

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.

Designed as a joint venture between Romania and Yugoslavia, the IAR-93 Vultur (known in Yugoslavia as the J-22 Orao) was their answer to the SEPECAT Jaguar. First taking to the skies in October of 1974, the IAR-93 was the primary strike fighter of the Yugoslav and Romanian air forces for a time, and even today is still in service with Serbia. In War Thunder, the IAR-93B is a good strike platform, but can also be a deceptively capable fighter if played correctly.
