T-26 Model 1933s were supplied to the Chinese National Revolutionary Army by the Soviet Union during the Second Sino-Japanese War. These tanks served with the 200th Mechanized Division, operating from Shanghai to Burma during the conflict and subsequently seeing further service in the Civil War against Chinese communists. Most were lost during these wars, but a few somehow survived until the fall of Nationalist forces in mainland China. Photographs suggest these surviving tanks were relocated to Taiwan, but no further records document their fate; they were likely scrapped and replaced by US-supplied tanks like the M24 and M41.

Introduced in Update 1.91 "Night Vision", the Chinese T-26 is identical to the Soviet version. While its overall protection is somewhat lacking, even for a light tank, due to its boxy design, flanking enemies and ambushing targets allows the 45 mm gun to effectively engage opponents. It serves as a good starting point for learning basic tank warfare tactics applicable to more advanced combat vehicles.
