Now that the ZTZ-96B is coming to the game these long standing issues should probably be addressed.
I did a search and found all of the accepted bug reports that have yet to be addressed even with the new ZTZ-96B model.
The images in this post seems to indicate that the ZTZ-96B has noticeably thicker turret cheeks than the ZTZ-96A, I hope this is considered before the tank is released
ZLT11/ZTZ96(A) missing spall liners https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/BJmIZ0IgKa0z
This bug report for the ZTZ-96 spall liners was accepted for a long time, but recently rejected due to some issue with the ZLT-11 image. It should probably be reopened just for the ZTZ-96 family and reevaluated.
some of those reports have 4 years that they were accepted and there is still no indication they are even remotely considered, while both ZTZ96s aren’t really on a terrible spot some of these changes would really be nice to have in game specially the tilt angle on the turret
The 99A should also have the tilt angle forward in its chassis, but ingame it leans backwards.
It’s a problem that affects most CN MBTs but especially the 96 series the most.
The best Chinese tank is the American Abrams. I think the worst tanks in the game are actually Chinese tanks. They’re neither fish nor beef, really. The Chinese wanted to borrow the best from the USSR and the German Leopards. The result is Chinese porcelain, dying at the slightest sneeze. I’m waiting for the Singapore Leopard for China.
I do not play Chinese tanks that much, but I always support players who take the time to make bug reports. And I support players who take the time to collect those bug reports into one post like this. Good job, keep up the good work brother 👍
Friend, need some advice?
Stop playing Chinese crap. I’ve maxed out the USSR and Germany branches, and China’s only advantage is its good helicopter branch. China has only one unique feature: the Laser Training Warning Station. And in terms of player numbers, it’s on par with the Jewish Army.
There are also the Japanese. Their tanks are very good and mobile, and I’m thinking of upgrading mine myself.
I’m unaware, because by the time I got the ZTZ-96A, the tilt was there.
It’s not a lot of tilt, but with the fact the hull leans back slightly, the tilt of the turret itself is clearly there when in the bug report it wasn’t.
Like in the screenshot you show it’s clearly different than the bug report’s state.
The quick screenshot i took wasnt perfect either, but the point is that the 96 turret should be visibility tilted when not aiming forward (The front of the ring is lower than the back of the ring). That currently doesn’t happen in-game.
It’s still Weird that 96B is now Faster than the 99A forwards… even tho it was pretty much confirmed the 99A/B is the fastest MBT in PLA service (with the ZTZ-100’s top speed being unknown)
