CN Type 039C submarine

T3, available in the free part of the Battle Pass.

Armament:

1. YU-10/039C torpedo launcher [1x1]🔒
2. YU-10/039C torpedo launcher [1x1]🔒
3. Yu-7 torpedo launcher (324 mm) [1x1]
4. Yu-7 torpedo launcher (324 mm) [1x1]
5. Yu-7 torpedo launcher (324 mm) [1x1]

Features:

CN Type 039C is a modern Chinese submarine of the Yuan Class, which has several improvements that make it unique. First, an increased oxygen tanks compartment, allowing it to undertake longer underwater missions. And second, the submarine has a new anechoic coating, which additionally reduces its visibility for enemy aircraft and ships. And what those two factors give us? A true silent hunter from the deeps! Armaments include 3 free slots for any torpedo launchers you want, and 2 slots with unique YU-10C torpedoes, which deal area damage and have advanced tracking systems, allowing them to ignore decoys. In addition to all that, the new sub is quite maneuverable and fast. Utilize all the advantages that CN Type 039C has to offer and dive into the battle (quite literally), surprising your enemies with powerful underwater strikes!

J-36 Strike Fighter

T3, available in the VIP Battle Pass.

Features:

Chinese sixth-generation strike aircraft. The aircraft features a tailless aerodynamic configuration and V-shaped tail design to enhance stealth capabilities and conduct preemptive strikes. The J-36's armament begins with a powerful long-range airborne missile AG-1000, which is suitable for engaging surface targets. In addition to those, there are long-range anti-radar missiles LD-8A, which are based on the PL-15 design. Finally, there are long-range KD-21 (Nuke) hypersonic missiles, which travel at very high speeds and deal tremendous damage, while ignoring heat decoys! Such a set of missiles won't leave any surface target without a devastating reminder, that J-36 always look down on them with a haughty grin.

AFGS Autocannon

T3, available in the VIP Battle Pass.

Features:

AFGS is a unique autocannon of the Chinese Navy. It represents a defensive grenade launcher system with a drum designed to counter torpedo threats in a fully automatic mode. AFGS is capable of engaging enemy torpedoes in automatic mode at close ranges, relieving the crew of the necessity to track and counter such underwater threats manually. Can be very useful as an additional defensive measure for ships' overall survivability, or as an effective countermeasure in submarine-dominated waters.

CH-T1 Drone

T3, available in the VIP Battle Pass.

Features:

The modern Chinese drone CH-T1 combines cutting-edge technology with deadly power. This unique vehicle, operating on the principle of a ground-effect craft (ekranoplan), glides just above the water’s surface at high speeds, remaining difficult to detect by radar.

Key features:

• Self-detonation with damage: For the first time in Modern Warships, the CH-T1 uses a contact-based detonation mechanic, dealing significant damage to enemy ships.
• Powerful armament: Equipped with a self-detonating charge and torpedoes, making it an excellent choice for eliminating large surface targets.
• Tactical flexibility: Can be directed toward a target and detonated either automatically or manually by the player.

DF-31AG Missile Battery

T3, available in the Premium Battle Pass.

Features:

New version of the Chinese DF-31 missile design. The modernization affected the missile's stats positively: it flies on a very high trajectory; the casing of the hull was also strengthened to increase the chances of penetrating even the strongest AA systems. The new modification also includes tweaks to its warhead, which received an increased charge with separable combat elements and now deals significant area damage.
