Although it was a prominent theatre of WWII and very much immediately prior to the main outbreak, I’m not sure how far a TT for China could go. I mean, the British and Italian armies had way more technology behind them that could constitute a better sub-faction. A lot of China’s weaponary was lend-lease from other countries, certainly during the main WWII conflict, so I don’t know how much of a TT it could have.
That said, I’m no expert on the Chinese-Sino war, so my opinion is most probably moot.
Still nice to hear of it I thought about BR 1-3, as china themselves had own made weaponry, which would be interesting.
Examples i could quickly find, there surely are more:
Chiang Kai-Check rifle
Hanyang rifle
Xiangying rifle
Tsingtao mp (Literally chinese mp18 with a vertical magazine)
Type 36 grease gun
Type 77 pistol
Miaodao saber
It will be as war thunder china, some own equipment and allies/soviet and German equipment, the newcomer faction who let taste iconic stuff of the conflict in one place without multiple factions grind
Problems
Lack of original Chinese gear
Lack of Chinese tanks
Lack of Chinese airplanes
Sorry but a faction that is made up of almost all foreign gear and a ton of copy paste
Just look up wiki WW2 small arms/weapons
France//UK(Commonwealth)/Italy would be far more
The reason people hate subtractions is why
A they play in the same matches thus clutter of separate tech tree
B the create there own ques in which case they split the player base
Example UK used a lot of US tanks like the firefly which was a Sherman with a UK gun
Would it a be in both tech trees
B the UK tech tree
What about the Sherman or the grant and lee tanks
Simply put a Chinese subfaction would just be garbage
I would be in favor of adding China, however, they are going to have the same problem Japan has now. Not enough enemies to fight since they only have Japan. This will help Japan as it gives them another enemy, however, until DF does something to bolster Japan’s level 3 the Chinese faction is going to get screwed with the soft rule, only playing low levels or level 5 like the Allies have to contend with. Adding a couple Soviet/Japanese engagements would also help, but again, it’s going to hose the people who want to play level 3 Soviets when they get Japan as it will be a level 5 match. However, if it lets me play my level 3 Allies more often vs the Germans, then it will be worth it since I know I’m not going to be punked to level 5.
The more the merrier, however until DF gives the Japanese a reason to play level 3 the match making will continue to suffer vs Japan.
I think the Chinese server cannot experience this content due to censorship.
certainly
The more important issue is that most of China’s supplies are purchases and aid supplies
Not many people want to redevelop what they have developed before.
Not many people want to play for a long time with relatively low equipment performance.
The best way is to disperse it among the US military or the Soviet Union
SIG 1920 and 1930 is more like “return” to china, they should be in china TT than japan TT
and there is even local copys with different caliber and magazine direction that can accept 32/50 round mag
so they can have both 9mm import ver. and local 7.63 ver.
For MP34 we can have “MP43 7.63” with different stats
The japan 20 round thompson is also local copy made in china, they makes it 20 round for saving ammo.
The guns you didn’t mention:
Mauser C96 SMG Modification
The “Sichuan made” SMG
A mysterious gun that uses a 7.63 curved magazine
MP18 and MP28 7.63
Basically the same as SIG1920 (More research is needed)
