Hi all, I created this topic for sourcing unique ground vehicles for China that could be added to WT, especially ones for lower ranks of the tech tree, focusing on basically anything moving with at least some anti tank capability.
If any of u have suggestions, comments, or more sources on these do let me know. I will be expanding this list too whenever I see cool vehicles/etc that haven’t been added already or aren’t well known about.
Light Tanks/Vehicles
List
(ROCA) BA-3
During the Sino Japanese War, China received a lot of much needed Soviet equipment. China also had many of their own armored cars but the BA-3/6 is likely one of the only ones viable for WT given it has a viable anti tank gun.
(Manchu puppet state) BA-10
One BA-10 was captured by Japanese during the battle of Khakalin Gol from Soviet or Mongolian army and put to use by the Manchu puppet state, the 2nd photo shows a painted insignia. Like the BA-3 this also has the 45mm 20K gun.
(ROCA) Type 65
ROCA prototype light tank
(ROCA) LVTH-6
Light amphibious vehicle with 105mm M49 howitzer
(PLA) Type 62 (301 Anti Air Gun)
