To the esteemed developers and community managers of War Thunder,
For years, the “PLA Officer” avatar has stood as more than just a digital portrait in our hangars. It is a symbol, a piece of in-game history that pays homage to a legendary figure known to every dedicated commander: Major General Man Guangzhi, the revered “Wolf of Zhurihe.” His name is synonymous with tactical brilliance and relentless innovation in modern military exercises, embodying the spirit of a formidable OPFOR (Opposing Force) commander. This avatar represents not only a specific individual but the essence of strategic cunning and respect earned on the virtual and theoretical battlefield.
However, as our game evolves, so too should our icons. We have witnessed beloved elements like the “Meritorious Tank” decal receive splendid second generations, offering veterans a way to showcase their legacy and new players a chance to connect with the game’s rich tapestry. The “PLA Officer” avatar deserves no less. It is time for this legend to receive its rightful upgrade.
Therefore, we humbly propose the introduction of a premium “Zhurihe Wolf Pack”—a special bundle that elevates the legacy of General Man Guangzhi to new heights. This package would not be a simple re-release, but a definitive, enhanced tribute, worthy of both the figure it honors and the commanders who seek to honor him.
Proposed Bundle Contents:
- Avatar: “The OPFOR Commander - Man Guangzhi (Legendary)”
- A completely redesigned, high-detail portrait. Imagine a more dynamic pose—perhaps a confident stance with a tactical map in the background, his gaze sharp and knowing, capturing the piercing intellect of the master strategist. The art style should be bolder, with more depth and texture, making it instantly recognizable as the superior, “evolved” version.
- Avatar Frame: “Wargame Nexus”
- An ornate frame surrounding the avatar. Its design could incorporate elements like subtle digital hex patterns (echoing C4ISR systems), minimalist topographic map contours of the Zhurihe training grounds, and sleek metallic accents. It should convey a sense of advanced command and control—a window into the mind of a modern warfare maestro.
- Title: “The Wolf of Zhurihe”
- A prestigious in-game title displayed alongside the player’s username. This phrase, “The Wolf of Zhurihe,” is instantly recognizable and carries immense prestige. It tells a story of cunning, adaptability, and being the ultimate test for any “blue force” opponent. For the commander who earns or acquires it, it is a badge of honor and strategic acumen.
We understand the value of such a curated, high-quality package. We are fully aware that this proposed “Zhurihe Wolf Pack” would be a premium offering. A slightly higher price point is not only expected but would be considered justified for content of this nature—a definitive collector’s item that celebrates a unique part of modern military history within the War Thunder universe. It respects the legacy of the original while providing substantial new value.
This bundle would serve multiple purposes: it allows long-time players to renew their connection to a classic icon in a grand way; it offers newer commanders a chance to acquire a piece of celebrated gameplay history they might have missed; and it enriches the game’s lore by deepening the narrative around one of its most intriguing real-world inspirations.
In conclusion, we believe the stars are aligned for the return of the Wolf. The community’s respect for historical figures and their in-game representations is stronger than ever. By releasing this “Zhurihe Wolf Pack,” you would not only fulfill a persistent player desire but also create a new benchmark for special avatar bundles—one rooted in respect, strategy, and undeniable style.
We eagerly hope to see the legend retake his command. Thank you for your continued dedication to War Thunder and its community.
Sincerely,
The Commanders of War Thunder
