These two vehicles are back on sale and will not be going away. Each cost 9,270 Golden Eagles.
When: From January 29 (12:00 GMT).
Where: China > Aviation / Army > Premium vehicles.
- The ZTZ96A (P) is an MBT that features a unique turret armor layout and the JD-3 optical-electronic suppression system. This tank can fire 125mm HEAT-FS, or a heavy hitting APFSDS shell with over 450 mm of armor penetration. Additionally, the ZTZ99A (P) can find enemies with a thermal imager, and fire these rounds accurately with its laser rangefinder, making it a strong tank at rank VII!
- The A-5C is a rank VI export variant of the Q-5, created at the request of the Pakistan Air Force. This attack aircraft features two 23 mm cannons, countermeasures and powerful Matra Magic air-to-air missiles. For ground targets, it features large high-explosive rockets as well as bombs, which can be aimed accurately with the ballistic computer.

Where: China > Army > Premium vehicles.
- The Type 69-IIa is an export variant of the Type 69, created for the Iraqi Army. This tank is better protected and equipped with a laser rangefinder and smoke grenades. Thanks to its 100 mm rifled gun found on the Type 59, the Type 69-IIA is great in the sniper role at rank V!
- The Т-62 №545 is a Soviet tank that was captured by the Chinese Army. It has everything needed for a good MBT — mobility, a two-plane stabilizer that allows you to maintain accuracy, good frontal armor and powerful shells. This tank can be found at rank VI in the Chinese ground forces tree.
