Features:
A destroyer of the fourth series of Project 052D destroyers. Compared to the first 052D models, the subsequent 052DL and DM versions received a number of improvements: a larger helicopter landing pad, an updated radar group including the latest AESA radar and the ability to mount hypersonic missiles. In the game, the destroyer will please players with an open layout for placing various weapons and forming a wide range of possible assemblies. The ship has two double missile slots with YJ-18 anti-ship missiles, a slot with the H/PJ-45B main caliber gun in the bow, and three Type 726-4A bombers on the aft superstructure. For the ship's perimeter defense there are two double slots with autocannon "H/PJ-17", two single slots for the placement of air defense turrets, as well as the latest silo-based anti-aircraft system "FM-3000N", firing 4 missiles at any air targets. The missiles of the complex have an increased radius of operation on targets and quite significant area damage, which will allow to intercept more missiles flying in a dense group.

Armament:
- Type 25-1 aircraft cannon
- CM-401 hypersonic missile
- YJ-91 anti-ship missiles
- Lark-2 anti-ship target missiles
- Anti-aircraft missile PL-17
Features:
Chinese multirole fighter based on the J-11BS, which is a licensed variant of the Su-30MKK. With updated engines and on-board equipment, the aircraft is capable of carrying a wider arsenal of weapons. The main trump card of the aircraft will be the Chinese hypersonic anti-ship missile "CM-401". The missile almost instantly reaches its maximum flight speed and inflicts significant damage on the enemy. The aircraft carries a pair of "Lark-2" target missiles, which develop hypersonic speed. These munitions do not cause significant damage and are primarily designed to provoke the enemy to release the LTC, after which the "YJ-91" anti-ship missiles are used. A barrage of four missiles contributes significantly to the missiles' ability to pass through enemy air defenses. To combat enemy aircraft, there are air-to-air missiles "PL-17". This missile is launched from ultra-long ranges, carries a large charge and is not deflected by heat traps. For close ranges, the aircraft is equipped with a "Type 25-1" aircraft gun of 25mm caliber.

Armament:
- Type 23x115 aircraft cannon
- TY-90 multi-purpose missile system
- CY-3 multi-purpose missile
- Light torpedoes YU-7
Features:
Deck version of the helicopter based on the Z-20. The presented nomenclature of armament makes it a multi-purpose helicopter capable of countering any threat. The powerful "Type 23x115" air cannon fires at both surface and air targets. On board there is a missile system "TY-90", which, like the air cannon is also multi-purpose and fires at medium ranges. The new missile "CY-3" is capable of hitting surface and underwater targets at long ranges and cause tangible damage to the enemy. The helicopter also carries a pair of YU-7 lightweight torpedoes, which will enhance the helicopter's anti-ship and anti-submarine warfare capabilities.
T3, available in the VIP Battle Pass.
Features:
China's fourth-generation long-range multirole system, capable of providing reliable defense against air threats at long ranges primarily, and is also capable of operating against surface targets. Thanks to advanced technology and modern equipment, the missile provides high efficiency and accuracy in hitting targets. In the game, this SAM has a nice feature - in addition to good firing characteristics, it stands out among similar missiles in terms of area damage, as a result, if it hits one of the aircraft in the link, the rest of the aircraft will be damaged by shrapnel. When working on ships, the missile is capable of destroying enemy missiles and bomber ammunition at the moment of their release.
T3, available in the Premium Battle Pass.
Features:
A powerful and reliable Chinese automatic gun built for export based on the H/PJ-17. It is designed to detect and engage surface targets in automatic mode. Compared to the H/PJ-17 in the game, this autocannon has a longer range, higher ammunition velocity, and an increased magazine capacity from 5 to 10 rounds.

This update adds another new season to the Vault of Passes: "Winter Standoff", released in December 2023. Inside the pass you can find valuable VIP rewards, an avatar, camouflages and a missile destroyer from the United States - the USS Michael Monsoor (DDG-1001). The ship is equipped with two torpedo weapon emplacement points, which greatly enhances its tactical capabilities. Rail guns "AGS-155 Block I" of 155mm caliber in the amount of 2 units are installed in the forward part of the ship. This placement of the guns is extremely successful in their overall accuracy and allows you to comfortably play from cover. The guns fire in manual mode, where for one reload you can fire 2 separate volleys of 3 shots each, which allows you to fire at different targets if necessary. The ship's air defense is reinforced with exclusive and advanced RIM-161 Block IIB anti-aircraft missiles.
