I’d prefer if they come before next update, but likely after knowing gaijin

Anyone know the name of this gun? Is this ZPT-98?
What tank is this inside of?
I know this isnt related to this topic but I really need some information about this gun and fire control system(Specially sights)
Skirt armor, (is) steel plate
in 4:42
so im sure that it should be steel plate but not the rubber
vt4 is a pretty mediocre tank in warthunder. A lot of that is due to the awful chassis its built off of. ztz96 by design is very flawed, Inheriting the drawbacks of a t72s ammo storage, but with a massive lower plate weakspot. So at least the gun handling is on par with nato tanks to make up for this, right? Wrong. Not only is the amor layout nonsensical, its still unable to depress its gun more than 5 degrees, so you cant hide the massive lower plate trying to snipe like a challenger. Its a polished turd, but still a turd

Just off topic, could you measure the included angle（in degree） between 73mm gun and the atgm launcher？
Firstly, no I’m not really any good at that, and secondly, why ask me?
It being bad in game does not constitute it being a bad tank irl, for one, the gun depression in game is absurdly wrong

Personally, I’ve found the VT-4 to be a very reliable and good tanks, and have been able to maintain a 1-2 KD in it so far. However, I still feel that it should come before the WZ1001 rather than after, as it’s overall still slightly worse when it comes to armor, firepower, and mobility. In the right situation tho, the VT-4 can outshine all other Chinese MBT’s thanks to the APS, especially when faced with helicopters or ATGM tank destroyers. The location of several fuel tanks around the tank also help, as they occasionally help reduce spalling and protect the crew a bit, although at the cost of fire.
I really hope sooner than later tho that this tank receives its spall-liners as there is now ample evidence and the reports about them have been acknowledged. It could also receive the improved ‘E’ shell in the future as it’s a very modern Chinese tank. The Reload as well should be buffed to its maximum of 6.7 seconds, as the tank could use any edge it gets. With these factors combined, it would help justify its placement after the WZ.

Could China ever get access to a top tier light tank with decent reverse speed?

yes, the two listed also have 4 second reload (I think), and a high penetrating 105mm apfsds
Should have the same transmission as found on the PGZ-09
Plenty of videos confirming the 4 sec Autoloader

Really? What’s the reverse speed of that?
Should be able to check in game, but I think it’s around 10mph
16kmh
VT-5 definitely doesn’t have 10km/h reverse speed. It can reverse way faster than that
