Update 1.11 Common Test: 122 TM Chinese Medium Tank Introduced

Trying to sneak its way to Update 1.11, the Tier VIII Premium Chinese medium tank 122 TM has been introduced for Supertesters. The tank won’t be ready for this update, and most probably not even for Update 1.11.1, so don’t expect to see it anytime soon. Nonetheless, you can now enjoy the current full stats and the finished in-game model of this vehicle.

In-Game Historical Reference

During the Soviet-Chinese border conflict in 969, Chinese forces captured a Soviet T-62, which had a significant impact on the development of the 122 TM. In autumn 1970, two prototypes were manufactured feating additional armament: four anti-tank missiles on the turret sides and a double-barreled DShK machine gun on the gunner’s hatch. During trials in 1971-1983, the construction proved faulty, leading to the development being discontinued in 1974.
