The ZTZ99A also has a hard kill APS (allegedly), Gaijin isn’t the best at modelling Chinese vehicles - the cover of the APS has never been spotted without the cover from my understanding.
My point was they didn’t need the round, other nations have been awaiting stuff for a while, its about time the stop riding Germany and Russia for a moment.
U.S. in that case also doesn’t need any new ammunition, iirc they received two darts within a span of a year because their win rates were so low.
US got a tandem heat shell this year and m2829A2 was added 3 years ago, still cant pen k5 as well.
Don’t Chinese MBTs have a sort of laser APS that blinds optics of enemy vehicles?
Now, you also can add ZTZ-99A with APS
Merkava 4 with Iron Fist
Maybe smth else, but I cant remember
Correct, the ZTZ99 does have a laser like APS which is meant to blind missiles but this however isn’t present on the ZTZ99A.
The APS on the ZTZ99 is also capable of blinding and damaging other tank sights so if implemented in-game it would be busted, from the enemies POV they’d be completely blind and rendered useless.
A update which focuses on MBTs with APS systems like the ZTZ99A 2024?, T-72B3 Arena-M and M1A2 SEP V3 Trophy would be nice to see (and especially the T-72B3 Arena-M, that looks dope).
We’ll have to see the new specs of the ZTZ99A’s APS as they’re not listed yet. There’s no name of it yet either, maybe at the airshow in November we’ll see more. We do know it uses the same RADAR as GL-6. It’s probably called GL-7 but who knows.
I wouldn’t worry about that here. You should try and get the armor fixed on the Abrams as a whole so that whatever RU ammo it receives doesn’t matter, at least frontally.
You talk about M1147?
Here is a video of this system being tested.
I had this video in the Imagery/Media section when I made it but I moved it to the main part of the post so everyone can see it. 🤙
Also, changed the BR to 12.0 to reflect the new changes coming up for Battle Ratings.

During the same photo release, a T-72B3A as seen in the post is also getting outfitted.
Here is a T-72B3M obr. 2025 equipped with Arena-M amongst other things as shared by @Raiden_Black:
Also, here is the completed T-90M with Arena-M:
