The PLZ 83-130 is an experimental variant of the Chinese PLZ 83 self-propelled artillery vehicle. Instead of using a 152 mm howitzer this vehicle uses a 130 mm Type 59-1 cannon, which in itself is a copy of the Soviet M-46. Its this cannon thats made this vehicle a true tank destroyer! Choose your attack positions wisely and take advantage of the high velocity of your powerful shells to guarantee a hit.

Discounts on purchasing stages using Golden Eagles

Unfinished stages can be purchased for Golden Eagles, but if youre significantly close to completing a stage, its price will now be significantly reduced. Lets say you have earned 85% of the required mission points to complete a stage, then the price of purchasing this stage will be halved. If youre near the finish line for a stage and are at 95% progress, then the price will be reduced by five times. For example, if youve scored 30,000 mission points, then the price for unlocking this stage will be 449 Golden Eagles. If youve scored 33,500 mission points, then youll only need to pay 179 Golden Eagles. Remember to keep this in mind if you cannot complete a stage on time!

When you complete 7 stages, youll receive a non-tradable coupon for the PLZ 83-130, where using it will immediately activate the vehicle onto your account.
