China Early Access Event Tasks

The first stage of the global event for early access to the Chinese ground forces tree is now live. By completing tasks, players can earn up to 15,000 Lunar Bonds.

Lunar Bonds can be used in the special Lunar New Year event store starting today and remain available until the event ends.

Daily Gifts

Log in to the game every day from February 12 to February 17 (update at 10:00 GMT) and receive great gifts – fireworks, Silver Lions, Golden Eagles, and boosters!

You can shoot off fireworks in tank and ship campaigns. After using fireworks, one random player in the battle will receive a match award and a bonus of 10,000 Silver Lions after the battle no matter the result of the battle.

Event Store

The special Lunar New Year event shop opened on February 12. Its inventory includes general items such as avatars, decorators, titles, keys, Season bonds, and boosters, along with one vehicle for each campaign.

Please note: the vehicles available in the shop rotate every hour. Check back often to spend your Lunar Bonds on the tank, ship, or aircraft you’ve been waiting for!

Holiday Vehicles

Special holiday vehicles in themed camouflage are now available in the shop. The PLZ05 tank, Type 053H ship, and P-38L-1 aircraft can be purchased for a limited time, until the end of the event.

PLZ05 (Rank VII)

The Chinese PLZ05 is a 155 mm self-propelled howitzer equipped with an autoloader and strong mobility for its class. Its key advantage is the BEA1 semi-armor-piercing shell, which penetrates up to 166 mm of armor and can reliably destroy enemy vehicles when striking their side or rear.

Type 053H (Rank VI)

The Chinese Type 053H is a missile-armed destroyer equipped with two twin SY-1 launchers that fire 760 mm anti-ship missiles, supported by twin 100 mm main guns. Its lock-on interruption system disrupts incoming missile guidance, allowing it to disengage and engage targets from a safer distance.

P-38L-1 (Rank V)

The Chinese P-38L-1 "Double-Bodied" is a heavy fighter with devastating firepower: a 20 mm cannon and four 12.7 mm machine guns that can literally tear an enemy apart with a single burst. With its high speed and excellent climb rate, it can dictate the terms of engagement – just don't linger under fire.

Lunar New Year Battle Pass

The celebration will last longer than you expect! On February 19, a themed Battle Pass launches and runs for a full week. Didn’t complete all the first-stage tasks, or want even more rewards? Advance through the stages and claim valuable new prizes.

Hangars

To celebrate the holiday, our artists have created stunning Eastern-inspired hangar decorations that unite cultural elements from regions where Lunar New Year holds deep meaning. Step into a serene atmosphere filled with promise and victories ahead.
