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.

ZTZ-96/A/AP has a turret ring tilt angle

The ZTZ-96 platform has a natural forward tilt to increase forward depression. (See report for more images)

ZTZ96 series incorrect turret composite

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 turret is missing and the upward tilt of the vehicle body is very severe

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.
