VT5 still has composite armor module on its turret while ZTQ15 actually does not, so generally VT-5 is better protected in fact.

I’m just curious what the actual protection values are for the VT-5 and type 15, or atleast the best guesses for them

It is generally believed that VT5 is mainly used to counter the D-10TS main gun (3BM8) of the T54M in Vietnam

most people speculate that Type 15 mainly defends against 30mm guns

That’s most likely the case.

Still that composite armor is really thin to provide any considerable protection.
I would rather use ERA in it.

So then for the VT-5 we would be looking at around 300mm KE protection and maybe over 100 for the Type 15

type15=light tank, VT5=lightweight MBT.😂

VT5 in bangladesh can provide better protection by installing additional armor, but its weight will increase by approximately 4t.

Yeah that’s why they are never going to use that add on armor.We needed a light weight tank that could engage targets in the hill tracts. Probably that’s why they didn’t apply any modular armor.

i think they have the composite because the overall effectiveness of armour increases when in tandem with composite and ERA. in wartime conditions, we can expect ERA to be mounted onto the front

nah we call ZTQ15 lightweight MBT, too

Personally I hope we get too see both the type 15 and VT-5 both come too the game, as there are definitely enough differences for them too be classes as different tanks, even if there is overlap in capabilities

VT4B is coming!

Is it just the VT4A1? I think there is no variant named VT4B

EMMM, I am also searching for information now, but I have not found the so-called VT4B

this?
