- The Type 69-IIa is an improved export version of the Type 69, equipped with a 100 mm rifled gun from the Type 59, a laser rangefinder, and a two-plane stabilizer. With a wide range of ammunition, an improved fire control system, night vision devices, and smoke grenades. This tank excels in long-range duels, but is still nicely versatile across the board.
- The Т-62 №545 is a captured Soviet vehicle tested by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). Fairly agile, with good turret traverse, speed and robust frontal armor, this MBT excels in the second line of battle. Its stabilized 115 mm gun can fire both APFSDS and HEAT rounds, and its compact size allows it to be effectively concealed behind cover.
- The ZTZ96A (P) is a prototype of the ZTZ96A, equipped with the JD-3 EKP, a variant of the Soviet Shtora anti-tank missile system, capable of defending against enemy ATGMs. This is a capable MBT with good protection, a thermal imager for the gunner, and a 125 mm gun with an APFSDS round that can penetrate up to 400mm of armor!
