After all, because TY-90 was too strong before, many people were crying, Gaijin could only weaken it :(

From what I understand - the VT-5 and ZTQ-15, as separate vehicles, only have one turret.
It’s just that their turret armor is modular.
So, the ZTQ-15’s base configuration is like this:
And then it gets FY-5 ERA on the turret and FY-4 on the hull when fully armored (same as ZTZ-99A):
The VT-5 is much of the same, except it has more different combinations of armor - and they seem to be more composite-focused, like with Western tanks.
The VT-5’s base armor kit is like this:
And then there’s kits on the side and ones on the front of the turret like this:
And another which makes it look quite Western:
The VT-5B is also known to have an APS system.
I hope they all get added soon.

it looks well protected，The turret of this VT-5 makes it look less like a VT-5

Composite armor (which Western tanks use) is well-known to offer very little protection in-game sadly.
I’m sure it would make it a fair bit harder to overpressure, at least. The chemical protection must be quite high.
The ZTQ-15 will probably be far more protected because it uses FY-5 on the turret, which is 250mm vs KE in-game.

Base VT-5 might become a premium tank. Since it’s sold to Bangladesh.

Our VT-5’s have slightly different turret. So is our VT-5 the base VT-5 or the one you shared? This one seems to have more armor. I don’t think it’s the base variant.
I couldn’t find a single picture of a VT-5 with less armor than that, but it appears that you’re correct - as the Bangladeshi ones seem to lack the LFP add-on and some turret armor. That picture you posted must be the actual base armor.
I know the Bangaldeshi VT-5s also got GL-5/6 APS, though. So they’ve got that going for them.
I dont think so. I haven’t seen GL-5/6 on any Bangladeshi VT-5. But in this picture it seems to have UFP ERA?
Maybe LFP has ERA

I can’t find any images of the tank with GL-5 on it, but it seems that the VT-5BD is known to have been equipped with GL-5 APS.
Man these export chinese tanks are so confusing

i’d seriosuly doubt that from the picture i can find (as in "i’m pretty sure those are just smoke launcher’s on the side of the turret , GL-5 doesn’t look like those smoke launcher’s wee can see)

Maybe VT-5s never received any APS. Even the chinese ones shown in defense Expo doesn’t have APS
