I’d like to see the Chinese Type 85’s and Type 90 to flesh out the tree some more.
The Type 96B foldered with the A would be nice too, more tanks for the 10.0 line-up would always be nice.

At least it’s an autocannon, and it would be quite unique. Still, I don’t see it higher than 1.0.
Maybe they mean it fires ammuntion that’s based on the same principle as AHEAD?

I really want an entire update based on 8x8 platforms. As someone who likes a good looking tank, the current crop of NATO/NATO inspired 8x8 are all very very nice to look at

probably russia has something similar but still dosent mean it fires AHEAD its like im saying the 125 from china fires 3BM60 from russia because its a similar gun with similar shells

It looks to me like that metal plate was shot at with APDS at high RPM (like from a rotary barrel cannon) and not with AHEAD.
I would expect AHEAD to have a very consistent pattern of spread. Plus, that gun doesn’t appear to have programming coils around the muzzles in order to even program AHEAD ammo.
yeah plus AHEAD is not being sold to any country yet, less china and even so if it was something like a similar shell the pattern and size of the holes would be different too
the metal plate is shot by apds. I’ve seen the video, it has AHEAD, and shoot a drone.
Though AHEAD is not being sold to any country, but it doesn’t mean nobody can develop one by their own, it’s just most people are accustomed to calling it AHEAD, not a programed time-fused ammo.
It can be down in gun chamber. muzzle coils are better, but it’s a gatling gun so it can’t have.

its proxy fuse then
The 625E and 630E don’t have any export orders right now, but hasn’t Rheinmetall already sold AHEAD ammo?I’m not sure.
In the vehicle’s introductory video, it twice shoots down drones by firing munitions that explode in the air.
This munition operates by timing its detonation based on the number of revolutions it makes after it is fired.It is programmed by the fire control computer at the time of firing, not at the time of discharge, so there are no programming coils, the downside of this method is that the muzzle velocity of the munition can’t be measured to allow it to be detonated more accurately.
For this reason, many believe it should not be defined as an “AHEAD”.It was accurately referred to as the “Programmable Prefabricated Fragmentation Ammunition” on the display boards and was shown as the same type of ammunition as the 35mm AHEAD.

no, proxy fuse is too large for 25mm or 30mm ammo, no space for the charge.
it’s programmed airburst ammunition.
There are many types, some like the original AHEAD, little charge to spread sub-projectiles, some are programmed he-frag
