Since we’re getting a Manchuria I think it’d be fitting to get a Chinese squad for the USSR!

Tank

History:
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

BR: 1

How a player can get it: I think it could be an event squad for China.

Why it should be added: Right now the Soviets and Japanese are getting their own front and China did fight in Manchuria so why not take this opportunity to give China some representation in Enlisted!

Why would we want to spam another useless T-26 squad?

It has a roof MG and it’ll give us some Chinese representation.

Whoopdie-firetrucking-doo.

Why Soviet though?

Because they’ll fight in Manchuria where China fought. It is also a Soviet tank that was given to China.

Well, based on the wiki, it also participated in Burma. Plus, Nationalistic forces are already included in the Allied TT in the form of event and premium squads.

Dunno, for once, the Soviets could give the Allies something in return for the dozens of land-lease gear they got before them.

Me personally I would like a Chinese faction but that’ll most likely never happen.

Maybe in a more civilized age.

Also imo it does fit the upcoming update for this to go to the USSR as the upcoming update is Japan Vs. USSR and considering that the USSR just got a Chinese Rifle. But we’re all entitled to our own beliefs.

How about the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army/ 88th Separate Rifle Brigade

Could make a decent Guerrilla Squad and such.

If there are more unique vehicles that could be given to a Chinese squad then that would be preferable, but sure more Chinese squads.

That would make a nice event Guerrilla squad to represent China!

Unfortunately they didn’t really make their own tanks, they did however have German vehicle such as the Sd.Kfz.222 and Sd.Kfz.221

I wont even use it but I voted yes because I play japan a lot so Id like to see some accurate enemy armor

There should be no china for USSR, the only sub faction i can see for it are the poles in berlin, Chinese didn’t fight alongside USSR
imo china should be it’s own faction, plenty of shit it could be given AND then… We could have… JOINT FACTION MISSIONS WITH 2 FACTIONS AGAINST 1 so China players could play alongside USSR

huh?

That’s just part of my old sub faction suggestion. Say you have both Germany and Italy in your lineup, well then you get maps like Tunisia and Stalingrad, but if you only have German squads then you get access to maps like Normandy and Bulge. Italian only line ups get access to maps like Sicily and other battles that only Italy fought in. I technically cut that part out of my recent suggestion for it due to lack of players to split across these maps but I guess that could always be solved with bots so I might add it back.

Would be fun to fight as Italians against Germans as well

Allies could get a TZ-45 Italian Squad but that’d just be copy and paste!

My reason why:

We already have T26. And I don’t really care for chinese representation (as long as there is no sub faction system)
