The ZSL-92 is currently underperforming, due to many reasons.
Currently the AP belt it has is inaccurate, it does not fire the same Ammunition as the PG87 25mm Autocannon, it doesn’t even have an AP belt. To fix this, i believe the developers should give it its APDS belt, although this may affect its br placement.
This would fix the issue of dealing with the heavily armored vehicles that you see at 6.7, as then you would have a way to defend yourself.
Another idea is to give the ZSL-92 the ability to Scout, as this would helps its performance greatly.
If it was to receive its APDS, I myself believe that it should go to a br of 7.0-7.3, similarly to the BTR in the Russian tt.
What do you Think of these Ideas?
I agree, I want it to receive APDS
I agree, I want it to receive Scouting
I agree , I want it to receive Both
I disagree, Because… (Please state why)

Haven’t played it yet but it seems to desperately need scouting, It doesn’t seem like a particularly strong AA platform, with it apparently having worse gun traverse than the ZSD63 and having one less gun that the ZSD while said gun having slower fire rate. The only real upgrade from the ZSD63 is that you have a slightly higher ammo count (which still doesn’t allow you to spray as the gun overheats after 50 rounds, while the ZSD63 you can fire the 80 rounds without overheating).
With only scout it should still remain at 6.7, it would at least make them useful to the team when there’s no planes around (it would still be the less capable SPAA besides 40mm ones).
If it gets APDS with 80mm∓ of pen then it probably should go to 7.3, it would still be eaten by XM800T (7.7 with stab 20mm) but on par with BTR-80A (7.3 non-stab 30mm). There’s no 7.3 line up for China though, so it would be used at 7.7 or 8.0 , which could still work, but lack of a stab and thermals would make it rather weak compared to what it faces in that BR bracket (and obviously, it’s AA capability would be completely gone with early cold war jets and helis with ATGM’s).
APDS at 6.7 would probably be too low, BTR-80A only gets APDS at 7.3 while having worse gun handling and worse mobility.
the term ZSL is the same as BTR, making the ZSL-92 an antiair while the BTR-80 is an LT is just a joke, hopefully devs will just make it accurate
also there are many actual SPAA that could be placed on 6.7, like the 301 SPAA or the early PGZ88 with no radar
