Wargaming announces the version 8.3 update for World of Tanks is now live in Europe and Southeast Asia, and that this update adding Chinese armor to the MMO shooter will come to North America on January 17th and to Korea four days after that. Here's word from the company formerly known as Wargaming.net: "The game's latest evolution adds 17 steel machines used by the Chinese People's Liberation Army in the mid-20th century warfare. The lower tiers of the new tech tree feature a hotchpot of various foreign designs, including the first Japanese-made tank in the game - the Type 97 Chi-Ha. Heavy Soviet influences are reflected in the top-tier tanks, which also include a number of original Chinese models, some of which never went into mass production."
