What are the ERA like things on the LFP? Doesn’t look like any Chinese ERA.
seems more like armor patch, era is more thick. VT-5 uses FY-4? if my memory correct, but Chinese eras are mostly customized shape so shape an’t tell
edit: this version is the most basic version, almost a bare hull

It looks sort of the the add on panels on other light vehicles like the ZLT-11 or ZBD-04A.
The 140 mm gun is still in the trials with the PLA and is not yet a thing on the T-99A.
Btw why are you comparing Al Khalid hull to VT-4? I know MBT2000/AL khalid has same hull as VT-4 but there could be some differences
at that time, I didn’t think too much about it, anyway they were all the same(volume).perhaps only the filling material is different
Which is why we can’t really use this as a source for bug reports, mods wont accept it. However you can use the pictures of actual vt-4 hull. That should make your bug report more believable to the devs.

I have created some pictures based on people’s ideas. I really hope that Chinese tank designers will adopt these suggestions.
especially VT4, its NERA area is very large. but ERA only covers a small part of it.

I think chinese engineers avoided LFP ERA because in reality rarely anything would hit that area. Also the ERAs might get damaged while moving through rough terrain.
Btw when will the Zhuhai airshow start?

maybe they just think it’s not important/haven’t taken this issue seriously.
these ERA do not even cover 1/2 of the VT4 hull armor.
It seems to be from 11.12 to 11.17. I searched on the browser.
perhaps we can try submitting this suggestion to them at the Zhuhai Airshow?

Well you are right but if we look at the Ukraine war, there was only a handful of tank vs tank engagement and it seemed like they didn’t care for weak spots. They just shot wherever they could aim.
IRL its harder to aim at weakspots, so those small ERA gaps dont matter.

yea, but I still hope it can become better.

it’s just crazy
you should understand the game is game, irl is irl. what suit the game may not suit irl, the converse as well
this is just a row of ERAs. I haven’t added much. It doesn’t even affect the weight. this is not crazy.
I just think should make full use of those composite armor. this is a small, simple change.
If according to your idea, this photo is even crazier.

Would that even be possible, that they would listen to the suggestion?
