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

Yes. ZTQ-15 and VT-5

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
If you have proof I’d love to see it so we can keep it, but from everything I’ve seen it has the same transmission already found on the PGZ-09
I only have video evidence but that doesn’t count as proof sadly
It’s still something, could you link it?
China Norinco VT series MBTs, History, Performance & Discussion - #195 by soviet_MoonMan this post is everything I’ve accumulated on the type 15
The name of the transmission is the CH700B
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
Can anyone translate this?
Since the VT5 is an export tank, shouldn’t their reverse speed be advertised?
Probably but I dont think they show reverse speed in brochures. Most of the brochures I have seen so far didn’t show reverse speed.
The video itself only talked about its usage of a turbo charged diesel engine, with its power to weight ratio plus the maximum forward speed of 70 km/h, no mention of its reverse speed
oh
