* ArtisticLicenseHistory: In reality no T-34-76 tanks served in the Chinese or Korean theaters. They were considered obsolete by the 1950's and were replaced by T-34-65 and copies of the T-54.

* CommonplaceRare: In reality, the Type 59 has seen a long production run of 10,000 units and is still used by multiple nations (upgraded or otherwise) as either standard or reserve. The Type 59 in World of Tanks is one of the rarest tanks, because it is not sold very often (and being a Tier 8 premium, it is quite expensive when it is sold).



* MilitaryMashupMachine: As the name suggests, it's a Type 59 hull mated with the turret of an M48 Patton. It looks rather peculiar, since it [[ArtisticLicenseHistory didn't really exist at all]].

Soviet IS-2 tanks were exported to China in the early 1950s and were used during the Korean War from 1950 through 1953. According to U.S. reconnaissance data, at least four Chinese tank companies deployed in Korea had the IS-2 tank, with five tanks in each company. The IS-2 remained in Chinese service until the late 1950s. Production was discontinued due to a shortage of spare parts and the launch of the Type 59 project. A few IS-2 tanks were exported to Vietnam

Developed in 1928 by J. V. Carden and V. Loyd. The vehicle never entered service in Great Britain. However, it was exported to other countries, including China. In 1937, twenty vehicles of this type fought against Japanese troops at Shanghai. Soviet Vickers-based T-26 vehicles were also exported to China, and 82 vehicles of that type were deployed in South China and Birma in 1941–1942.

Vehicles imported into or designed by the [[UsefulNotes/TheOtherChineseArmy WWII era Chinese states, Taiwan]] and [[UsefulNotes/ChineseWithChopperSupport Communist China, now the People's Republic of China]]. Communist Chinese tanks tend to carry the [[GlassCannon largest possible calibers into battle but pay heavily for the privilege]]. China lacks dedicated Tank Destroyers and Self-Propelled Guns.
