All this talk about the Type 625E has made me want to play Chinese ground again, since it’s one of my favourite SPAAs and Chinese vehicles.
Or gaijin might go the funny route. Not model IIR at all, do not add LOAL, and give SLS no TWS, so you have to aim manually the lock circle in 3rd person (no sight)

Same XD
Thus making it worse than even the ADATS for the most part.
This one (Type 625E) uses a 30mm Gatling Gun (it can also use a 25mm Gatling Gun as an option), it should have AHEAD equivalent as well.
The base Type 625 is a 25mm Gatling Gun but carries more ammo.
AHEAD ammunition for 35mm, 30mm, and 25mm:
Chaparral, but you know where the plane is (you cant slave, as there is no sight on it)
The biggest problem with these systems is that, assuming they don’t get anything like LOAL or TWS, within range they’ll be amazing, however outside that very short range, they are useless to stop the things they’re being added to combat.
Lets be real here. SLS will not counter the most cancerous planes it faces. 12km max is very much the range KH 38 launcher will turn back to rearm. When it comes to other planes, they have to get closer, but still will be able to survive the SLS if they are focused on it. If they get closer to ~6 they are most likely dead.
Assuming SLS gets the lock.

should get apds aswell right?
Yup, it will have APDS. Whether they slap a 25mm or 30mm Gatling Gun on it, it will have APDS and AHEAD.
whats the radar on the type 625e?
I think 12.0, cause terminal phase it is essentially IR. 25mm AHEAD will be nice though. An edge over Pantsir lol.
30mm, not 25mm. Only the base Type 625 has a 25mm gun.
I’m not sure, I couldn’t find specifications on it but it’s probably going to be a micro version of the HQ-17’s RADAR, similar capability but less range.
I posted the ammo options for AHEAD a few posts up and up from that lists the differences between the 625/625E.
I don’t care as long as it provides TWS it’s fine. Only thing is if the tws is too easy to be fooled by chaff.
Actually, the gun for the Type 625E is probably going to be the 25mm version. Looking and comparing the two further it’s likely the version we see mostly for the 625E is the version with the 25mm with the 30mm as an option for export. The 30mm version WAS SEEN during the 2022 airshow which is noticeable due to the water jacket surrounding the full length of the barrels unlike the air cooled 25mm. We’ll see which one Gaijin picks but either way APDS/AHEAD are available for both. I didn’t see how much APDS or AHEAD belts it can carry however, I also didn’t see any limitations like on the Gepard 1A2’s ability to carry limited APDS so might be able to just delete whatever with a steady beam of lead.
As for the RADAR, it’s a Phased RADAR that’s listed as being capable of targeting multiple contacts which means as I said earlier, likely going to have similar capabilities to the HQ-17’s RADAR but less range. I’ll keep looking for specs but here’s the two suggestions:
I really hope it’s the 30mm version.

Gaijin should fix this bug (floating smoke canisters)
