Yeah almost all chinese tanks can use ERA.Probably due to weight we didn’t buy ERAs for it.They are going to be deployed at a hilly region.
Also our VT-5s lack RCWS.We use manually controlled HMG for it.
You can try finding some information on Pakistani defence forums.They usually have lots of information about chinese tanks.
Yes.
As far as I know, the VT5 purchased in Bangladesh is a low-end version that has undergone a lot of castration, and of course, its price is also quite cheap.

ZTQ-15 export versions have add on armor kit and extra options like aps (actieve protection system) on the VT-5 tank.

China is not stupid to export high grade and sensitieve hardware to countries that have good relationship with America. China downgrade export weapons like tanks, jets, helicopters, ship, subs so they are usefull but not against China.
VT5 is not an export version of ZTQ-15, their relationship is a competitive one. However, the prototype of VT5 failed in the bidding process for ZTQ-15, Prototype car of ZTQ-15 which was adopted by PLAA, while the VT5 prototype shifted to foreign trade
Yes, during the joint military exercise between Türkiye and Myanmar, the UAV exported by China will automatically return to the take-off place when it is close to the Chinese border.

With any luck we might see the VT-4 in the December update, as we know it was being worked on in the files.
I feel like the only way too make the VT-4 a really meaningful addition at this point tho would be too make it one of the most modern versions, with FY-4 ERA, APS system, and the improved engine. That would it would actually be able too compete with other 11.7 MBT’s.
Also still not clear too me if the Hull composite armor was upgraded in any way…

You can use skins from live.warthunder for now.Hopefully gaijin will add them in the future.China could get a Bangladesh+Pakistan subtree in the future.

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.
