It isn’t. There is a clear detachable mechanism on the ones without.
Also 30mm CS/SA5s are still called 625Es.

Identical to CSSA5 in game. 30mm, short cannon.
There is a distinction, 625 E was never accepted into PLA service, only 25mm CS/SA-5 with HN6B were accepted into service. Therefore there is no such thing as early or late as they are all basically prototypes and are independent to each other, developed for different customers.

As seen 25mm have different sides.

There isn’t a “clear” detachable mechanism, whether there is one or not I’m not sure but it definitely isn’t a clear one.

Bug report this with secondary or primary sources if this is the case, for simplicity sake I’ll still refer to it as the CS/SA5 until its corrected in-game.

The definition of “early” or “late” in the sense of military usually refers to the year the variant of said vehicles was produced and the cycle in which its produced, multiple variants can fall into this “early” or “late” category and doesn’t discriminate between prototypes and actual production batches - I could’ve worded it better but it isn’t technically wrong.
Most of the information you’ve given to me is news anyways and I do appreciate it such as the Type 625E never entering service and so on.

China does do this a lot; for example the HQ-17 with the PESA array and M1 search antennae, the varying performance of PL-12, and the use of PL-5EII on many of the late 3rd gen jets.
I personally think they should have done the 625E instead of the 30mm since its capabilities are far more documented.

I trust what BVVD said, it will be comparable to pantsir when finished.

pantsir have 12 missiles that reach mach 3.7 in less than 3 seconds as u can clearly see in the video attached to the post or if u go and test it out yourself, with how slow the missile is and how it cant reach it max range properly with awful g pull, it will be just good at best

I wonder how they think this can be comparable to pantsir lmao, its actually ironic seing the poor state of the vehicle, i bet they would acept any 1 page source with 2 sentence issue if it was about russian spaa, like they did with 2s6 when they buffed it g pull and guidance

You shouldn’t have any expectations of what the developer team said.
