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.
Turns out in that video the hull was rotated backwards. So it was actually driving forward. But I think I have seen a picture of it’s gear shifter. I need some time to find it again
