I agree. ROCA line should be separated
Depends on who you compare it to, MBTs with better mobility or light tank with better armour. I hope this would be good.
Didn’t they mention M1A2 SEP V2T for ROCA line? Could just get that is rank 8 and I wouldn’t mind, I am most interested in all the Chinese experimental tanks though cause they are like the soviet Object 775 and stuff which are weird but also could be fun to play with, like ZTZ59 with an 120mm better than L44 could be amusing.

Yeah
ZTQ-15 isn’t export tho, VT5 is.

Would be such a meme to not have to grind the USA to get an Abrams paired with ZTZs. Love it.

Also am i tweaking or i correctly remember seeing side ERA/composite on some ZTQ-15s?

Which generation of thermal sight does the ROCA M1A2 have?
Only VT-5s were shown with side ERA. According to some sources China avoids side ERA on their vehicles so that they can fit more tanks in the landing crafts. But if they want they can use side ERA
This one is new, maybe china changed their doctrine on side ERA
We might see this tank on this year’s Zhuhai air show

Honestly hope that happens, they’ve already somewhat reveled this tank or at least the concept of it in a CCTV program showing a specific doctrine.

I meant VT4 since that is currently the top of the line

We only knew that for ZTZ99A since the addition of side ERA will bring it over the 55 ton limit for many Chinese transport systems like I think train can carry 120 or something so 2 ZTZ99A will fit but otherwise wouldn’t. ZTQ15 should be two in transport considering it is 33 tonnes and even if you fit the extra armour it is only 38 so should still be fine.

I really hope so
I was talking about landing craft.
Additional armor depends oncombat requirements.Install grille armor or ERA or NERA.

I think side ERA doesn’t make a difference unless it is with something like the Zubr class since standard landing craft’s limitation is length and weight and not width. Normal landing craft should be one each anyway, but for things like the Zubr it has a 5 metre width so i don’t see how they can really fit more in.
So the middle one does not have body ERA?
