The VT4 main battle tank still does not have side explosive reactive armor up to now; it has never had it since its introduction. However, in fact, there is already add-on explosive reactive armor available on the VT-4 tank. Looking at the 90M Arena, after its second major update, explosive reactive armor was added.
It is worth mentioning here that the soft-pack explosive reactive armor of the T-90M tank is actually welded on rather than mounted as applique.
Different variation of the VT-4A1 not employed, not the same in-game, only on trails as far as I know. My speculation from news medias without local sources, photos and terrible quality videos is that dedicated to Algeria, Algeria is or had trailed the VT-4A1 with this new armor package with great success. Definitely not going to be added, if added in the first place, in the same vehicle, it will be probably follow as next vehicle in the line.
This is the name; however, you will find through certain means that in the game, its configuration is actually called VT-4B rather than the currently displayed VT-4A1. This was a subject of some controversy when it was first released.
This can be selected according to your customization, just like the Su-30MKK, Su-30MK2, Su-30MKI. In fact, China only displayed the VT-4, VT-4A1, VT-4A1 (APS), and VT-4B.
I will refrain from commenting on this point. I personally believe that the VT-4, as a tank for foreign trade export, could be sent to any tech tree without surprise, and it should not be unavailable simply because Thailand is a sub-tech tree of Japan.
关于这一点不予置评,我自身认为VT-4作为一款外贸出口坦克发给任何科技树都不为奇,不应该因为泰国是日本的子科技树所以不能获得
I wasn’t trying to ruffle any feathers. Generally speaking the more trees something goes to, the more accurate and the more detail is added. As well as the more it gets. Look at the Abrams- it went to three trees, so of course now it gets more accurate models, more access to certain rounds, etc. etc. etc.
What you said is indeed correct, but I still believe it belongs to a single model, as this is a different improved version under this branch of the model.
Indeed, this is the case because the configurations ordered by different countries are basically not the same, which has resulted in a large number of different models appearing.
