Although I don't play Final Fire as much as other games in the same genre I have, I believe it could really be a nice alternative, if it wasn't for the language barrier. Despite receiving a Steam Greenlight almost two years ago, it is still only available in Chinese. However, experienced players of World of Tanks and Armored Warfare can still navigate around the menus, using the visual queues to make "best guess" selections.
Nevertheless, I have made modest progress and now have arrived at the Type 69. In reality, the Type 69 (also known as the WZ-121) is an evolution of the Type 59 and credited as China's first homegrown developed tanks (USSR and China relations had deteriorated in the early 60's to the point the technology sharing and sales was cutoff altogether).
The first Type 69 prototypes were built in 1964 and the model would be produced in three major variants, ending with the Type 69-III (also known as the WZ-121D/Type 79) sometime in the 1980's. Type 69's would see combat in the Iran-Iraq War, the Gulf War (Operation: Desert Storm) and the Iraq War of 2003.....
....where most didn't survive engagements with Coalition Forces. Kinda like how my first battle with mine turned out....
