China Norinco VT series MBTs, History, Performance & Discussion

Which is 5 seconds

Idk why but for some reason I had always assumed it was 4 lol. I guess 5 seconds just feels faster than I expected. Either way a 5 second Autoloader will be amazing, especially when you consider it can carry 8 missiles instead of just 4

The BMP-3’s HE is 4seconds.

But yeah, the zbd04a should be very fun to play.

They also need to fix its vertical and horizontal targeting speed to at least BMD-4 levels since the original ZBD04 has a turret based on it, but the new 04A has a completely new upgraded FCS which should be better than it. But I would settle at the BMD04 levels of speed.

Sort of unrelated, but has anyone noticed the gaping hole in the ztz99ii-iii’s breach armor??? Like theres the mantlet but behind that, 400ish mm of NOTHING. no other tank in game has a huge empty space like that. Very strange

The Abrams does not have an “integrated” spall liner, as that would defeat the purpose of a spall liner. No such thing exists. It’s just a massive misconception created by a very large, outspoken, and delusional group of people infatuated with the Abrams.

Recently, while collecting photos of Chinese vehicles, I discovered more errors that can greatly affect the survival and competitiveness of vehicles in the game. The 99A even made at least three serious errors. I will post a theme later.
this may take a few days

good work, but its very hard to affect change unless the ceo of norinco and xi ping himself signs your documents. Even with photos i dont think gaijin will take it unless backed by extremely thorough documentation. Good lucky though

It’s about modeling problems. Photos is enough, but change models will take a long time.

Best way to prove modelling errors is by creating a model yourself and showing the errors. This worked with my bug report on the ZLT’s turn radius showing the model is incorrect. Pictures can work, but I get the feeling they may try and reject it still… I am trying to keep updated on this issue but I may miss something, if they reject the report on the 99A’s lower plate being too large, lemme know and I can try to sit down and do a rough model in Blender to prove it.

This is the first time I’ve seen extra side armor (and what appears to be slat near the engine) on a VT-4.
Thank you very much for posting it.

Is that the GL-5 APS on it, as well?

It’s honestly hard to say, but I wanna say no, as we don’t see the computer/cooling fans mounted in the back like we do with the airshow one.

Hopefully this will be shown off at a show soon so we can see for ourselves

It’s better to add it as a modification I guess.
It was rejected because it was “paper”, only in brochure, but now things changed.
