ZLT11’s reversing issue was discovered three years ago during the Chinese consultants related incident. And since the game added spall liners, the issue of many older models missing them has been put on hold.
Understandably the dev team has a limited amount of energy, they need more detailed modelling for new vehicles all the time now. And we’ve also seen that updates to SPAAs models have been pretty much done. But for the lesser-visited vehicles like the ZLT, it’s like their problems will “never” be fixed. This makes them even more neglected.
As a vehicle at the end of the tech tree, the problems associated with the ZLT11 have led to a complete lack of enthusiasm from some players, many of whom consider the ZBD to be much more fun than the ZLT.
I hope the dev team can focus on these issues that have been on the back burner for a long time. Of course this doesn’t just include the issues I mentioned.I’m sure there are many of us who have been following an issue being accepted for several years. Personally, I don’t want ZLT11’s issues to wait until ZBL08 comes along before they get any attention.
tbh now I don’t even use the zlt 11 anymore cuz the zbd 04 are obviously better，so I suppose change the zlt 11 would be good way for me to use it again since zbd 04 add in game.
every single vehicle in china tech tree feels so wrong and not many people who main other nations cares.
But when ZBD04A was introduced at 9.0 people went rogue just because the very only IFV in the nation being able to turn the tide againts other nations.
(Also i am grinding stock ZLT11 and it’s survivability is sooo abysmal)
Take in the fact that the ZTL11 has a decent reverse gear box but Gaijin said “Nope, Kytay vehicles are copies of Russian vehicles and should follow the Russian philosophy”
I just completed the research for the ZLT-11 but reading the abysmal performance that it has due to mistakes that they refuse to fix well I much rather spend that almost million lions somewhere useful, is kinda sad how the reverse speed change has been passed for months yet it still has 8 km/h like bruh
Unfortunately a few of the ZLT’s problem are not bugs but rather innate.
It’s alright if you already have experience with armoured cars and rigorously adhere to a fairly conservative playstyle.
The big positive of the ZLT is it’s firepower, with an excellent dart and a varied selection of rounds, although I unfortunately haven’t had much success with the BTM-1 as an anti light vehicle shell.
It also gets good gunner thermals, and a LWS.
Everything else ranges from alright to outright bad.
The big issues are that it’s the size of a Maus, and that the setup of WT strip it of it’s purpose.
Not having a 9.7 lineup also means that you’ll have no backup vehicle to speak of, or that you’ll uptier yourself to 10.3 where you’ll start meeting MBTs that’ll invalidate your speed to the point that you’d be better off playing the ZTZ-96 anyway.
If you go to 11.0 and up, there is no reason to bring the ZLT-11 over the VT5 if you have it.
tbh i agree. thought a replacement as zbd04a sitting at 10.0 with weaker armaments especially the atgm has much more performance ratio. Plus ZLT11 is a mistake to be added and should have not existed in the game for being a explosive coffin
