Nothing to do right now so i figured i write down the, in my Opinion, best and most needed Ground Vehicles for Chinas Tree which could/should/must be added - maybe theres a Developer who reads it or some more of the Community becoming aware of some of this Vehicles so we can make more Noise for them to be added together.
The List isn’t in any particular Order. Please make sure to vote and Comment for the ones you like to see!
IFVS :
(1) VN20 (IFV)
(1.2) ZBD04 with SW1 Turret (IFV)
(1.3) CM34 30mm (IFV from RoC / Taiwan)
(1.4) VN22 (IFV)
(1.5) VN12 (IFV)
ANTI AIR :
(2) LD35 (SPAA)
(2.1) FK1000 & FK2000 (SPAA, de facto Chinese Pantsir)
(2.3) Yitian II (SPAA)
(2.4) Type 625E (SPAA)
MAIN BATTLE TANKS
(3) ZTZ99-I
(3.1) ZTZ-96B (MBT)
(3.2) ZTQ-15 / VT5 (LIGHT TANK, i couldn’t find the Link for ZTQ-15)
(3.3) VN12 with 105mm Gun (LIGHT TANK)
(3.4) ZTZ99A1 (MBT; the current existing one in the Game is the latest Variant afaik, the former could be added as another Top Tier MBT)
(4.1) PLZ45A4 (Howitzer like the incoming PLZ05 but more modern)
(4.2) PLL09 (Wheeled SPG)
(4.3) SH11 (Wheeled SPG with an 155mm Gun)
(4.4) Hunter Leopard (wheeled 105mm Tank from RoC/Taiwan)
(4.5) ST1 (Like the ZLT11 / WMA301)
(4.6) AFT10 (Multi-Purpouse Anti Tank Missile System)
(4.7) ZDF89 (Kinda like a tracked Version of the in-Game AFT09)
(4.8) WZ141 (Two recoilless 105mm Guns)
Spend way to much time with this but got nothing to do anyway, this is my favourite List / Wishlist of all the Suggestions / potential Vehicles for China.
There is no 99G MBT, both 99G and 99A2 are common Western false designations. The designation of the most advanced MBT in PLA service is just ZTZ99A. There are indeed some minor variations in appearance over the years but the official designation is still ZTZ99A.
Although the current task of Chinese ground trees should be to continue supplementing FIVs, there are still many MBTs that can be added, and the vast family has many different variants
Here is a list of my own making, with some more detailed markings.
There are still roughly ~40+ vehicles missing from this list but this is the largest possible photo that I am able to work with without employing professional image software.
Bad news, currently all modern Chinese MBT models have serious problems.
The 96 series does not have a turret ring tilt. The gun shield was hollowed out.
The chassis area of the 99 series is incorrect, with the 99A being the most exaggerated. The chassis has been increased by 1/4, looking like a challenger.
The 99A gun shield was hollowed out and the width was incorrect.
The armor of VT4 is missing a portion, and all ERAs are stuck together
In this situation, I hold a pessimistic attitude towards any Chinese vehicles added by gaijin
I would be rolling on the ground while laughing like no tomorrow if someone’s tank got hit by this behemoth of a ATGM and suddenly its turret went up flying
It’s interesting to say that even jet players who fly helicopters or stay at frontline airports are not safe. I even heard that it is equipped with VT fuses
This is an introduction video from CCTV official media
Ye but for Clarification / easier distinction i think just calling them ZTZ99A1 and ZTZ99A2 etc. would make sense.
And some more Top Tier Vehicles, like most from the List are, are really needed.
And why i included another ZTZ99A on the List or think it would be needed is because China only has three 12BR MBTs with the ZTZ99A, WZ1001 and VT4A1 whereas France will have a total of six 12BRs MBTs with the next Update with four Leclerc’s and Leopard 2A5 / 2A6. So i wouldn’t mind them copy+pasting another but older ZTZ99A with some minor variation in appearance into the Game as another 12BR MBT for China.
But the most needed for Chinas Tree really are Top Tier IFVs and SPAA, and Stuff like the AFT10 would just be awesome to hunt down Helis like with the PUMA VJTF Spikes or MBTs at a distance.
