China Norinco VT series MBTs, History, Performance & Discussion


Anyone know what’s the purpose of this?

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

What’s the ‘30’ they were talking about? I saw 30 in the subtitle

At what time stamp?

I think they are talking about the classification of different tanks based on weight, with 30 tons being a certain threshold

It’s part of the laser warning receiver system

Btw at 8:00min what was the guy talking about? APS?
(Second video)

Prototype VT-5

Yeah they were talking about the APS

But why they showed smoke grenades instead of APS. They did the same thing in both videos. Does that mean it can install APS system in the place of Smoke grenade?

VT-5 can be used with GL-6. It depends on how much the customer pays. As long as the customer needs aps, China will install aps for you to use. :)

Where do you get smoke grenades from? Nowhere it is mentioned in the footage here.

It literally says active protection shell/rocket here.

just before showing the APS clip they showed smoke grenades(First video). Also the tank in that clip isn’t VT-5 it’s Type 90IIM(GL-5 testbed) I think

Well because the VT-5 the reporter interviewed with did not equip the APS, possibly it was too sensitive to exhibit it at the time. The narrator does say it can be fitted into VT-5.

Oh

Both Look pretty good, I’m looking forward to them as I’m interested in the China top tier ground but the only Thing keeping me from committing is the lack of a light tank with good reverse, for a light tank at top tier to be good a decent reverse is non negotiable for me, otherwise I could make the ZTL11 work like the 2s25M lol

This kind of behavior is also useless. Few people who know how to use the forum know that those who submit evidence are even less likely to click on the support. Coupled with Gaijin’s laziness and arrogance, it takes a long time to fix a BUG that can be clearly seen, and the average repair probability is less than 5%. This is one of the most rubbish studios I have ever seen.

This is a laser warning system.

what the hell is up with vt4’s era modeling??? why is the front era divide into 2 large sections instead of the individual plates like normal??? The turret era is also very obviously 2 wedge shaped plates but it comes off as one piece… I really dont understand whats going on here
