with the exception of the vt4 decision, in general China is an extremely boycotted nation in War Thunder.
Especially in the air, China is always 2 to 3 patches behind Russia, the only exception was the "Dance of the Dragons " patch.
We can say that China and Israel are the nations most hated by the gaijin.
China is still treated by gaijin as a minor nation when it should be a major nation like the US and Russia (especially in the modern period).
With the amount of aircraft that China could receive such as Su30MKK, Su30MK2, J16/D, J15/T/B/D, J11BG/D (prototype), J10B/C, F-CK-1 A Ching-kuo /F-CK-1 C Hsiang Sheng.
China did not receive anything in this patch, the last edition was J11B which is a plane similar to the SU27SM but China received it almost 1 year after the SU27SM.
Russia is receiving the second SU30 and China has not received its SU30. (there is even a mk2 version that China also operates, in fact the mkk and mk2 version was made for the Chinese market).
China was supposed to be on the same level as the main nations (US and Russia), but for some reason the gaijin neglect it.
I understand and often support the revolt of Chinese players, I feel the same frustration as them regarding China within the game.
