War Thunder Marks PLA Day With Tank Discounts and a Flag Decal

War Thunder's latest seasonal event commemorates August 1st — the date the modern Chinese army traces its origins to — with discounts on two PLA-themed vehicles and a themed decal, all running from July 30th through August 3rd (09:00 GMT each day).

What changed

• Type 69-IIa (China > Army > Premium vehicles) is temporarily available at a 30% discount for 5,866 Golden Eagles. The tank is only purchasable during this window.
• ZTZ96B Pack (Rank VII, China) is discounted 30% in the Gaijin.Net store, dropping from 69.99 to 48.99. The pack includes the ZTZ96B tank, 20 days of Premium account time, and 2,500 Golden Eagles.
• A "PLA Flag" decal is available during the same promotional period (the source text truncates before full details are given).

The Type 69-IIa is described in the source as a 1980s export variant of the Type 69, supplied to Iraq, Pakistan, and Sudan, with over 3,500 units produced featuring a more powerful gun, upgraded fire-control system, smoke grenade launchers, and slat armor. The ZTZ96B is noted for improved transmission mobility, a 125 mm gun with APFSDS and tandem-warhead ATGMs, a thermal imager, laser warning receiver, and laser rangefinder.

For players interested in the Chinese ground tree, the five-day window is the only opportunity to acquire the Type 69-IIa at the reduced price.
