Some Chinese vehicles surely need a buff.
Take the T-34-2 for example, which is hopelessly outmatched by Type 59 in nearly every aspect…
Given their low popularity however, it’s likely that the buff will never come…
Btw I hope they buff Pershing a little bit. I love its “capitalist” depression but its penetration just sucks against the Type 59 horde…
And yes, almost every player in Chinese server has many, many mods installed, even including a mod that removes all the vegetation when you are in the sniper view mode, which is banned by WG iirc.

Still, that won’t be enough to make Chinese tanks popular on CN server. People there are more inclined to play OP tanks and Chinese branch (save the 59) is obviously not one of them. The reason is that on CN server you can assume almost everyone has stats display by default. You WILL be flamed or even TK’ed by some for having bad stats, (or, for simply driving a stock tank).

Only way to make them play the Chinese tree is to buff Chinese tanks.

No wonder why WG is flattening the maps in 9.5

But it’s still MUCH better than some of the largest online game companies in China. They even made a crappy WoT copy recently!
Pay-to-win is the “core value” of most of the online games in China after all.
At least WoT is an exception…for now.

And recently they even gave everyone a three-day Type 59(yes,everyone, but you needed to log in to their website and click a link) to promote sales….
You cannot imagine what kind of horror I had experienced those days when my 59-16 always ended up in Himmersdorf or Stalingrad with 29 or 28 type 59s…

In Chinese server the Chinese regular branch is not very popular I think.
If you play often you’ll find that some high-tier regular Chinese tanks are very, very scarce in Chinese server, because few of us can get along with their “depression with Chinese characteristics”.
And indeed we get too many Type 59s…Some low-pen t8 mediums like T-44 and Pershing are dying out(forget the unicorns please) just because it’s very hard for them to penetrate a type 59, especially when the type 59 angles its front armor(and every type 59 tends to do this…).
