Type 625E necessary addition to fill 9.3 - 11.7 SPAA gap

China has a 10.7 lineup but no support vehicles.

The QN506 addition despite being an event vehicle will at least continue to fulfill the role of IFV, the AFT-09 is a very functional missile carrier.

Where are the SPAA options?

Drones are enabled 10.3 onwards yet there is no radar tracking SPAA option. We are stuck with 10G SAMs

which kind of ammunition does this cannon fire?

I was really curious about this vehicle as I felt it would make a great SPAA for China and apperently it’s real name is PGL-12 (Type 12) Anti-Air Gun-Missile System. I really hope someone considers making a suggestion for this vehicle.

Your thinking of the IFV version which uses a different autocannon. This vehicle is based on an already modified SPAA version of the platform that uses the 35mm autocannon, hints why it’s called the Type 12.
The Type 12 is actually just a modification of the type 09 anti air reconnaissance vehicle, which in turn is based on the IFV version.

oh sry my bad. I thought you r talking about ZBL08

All good, I should of specified what exactly I was talking about.


what about this?

I think this would fit perfectly at 10.7, basically a Type 81 C.

Should definitely make a suggestion thread in it, if one doesn’t already exist

If anybody wants to do a suggestion, feel free. I dont really know how to make one and I also just recently found out about it, so I dont know much more about the missile then whats on that brochure.

Just wanted to share, maybe somebody already has more information then I could find with a quick google search.

@soviet_MoonMan if either of you feel like helping get information i will make it, rn i dont have the time on my hands to dig.

I found a reddit thread asking for it from 2 years ago and already has been added to some excel list from a mod, so I guess we dont need to anymore.

I spoke to a suggestion mod and he told me to redo the suggestion here on the forum, since reddit and the forum are separate entities.

Ive already made the suggestion and send it in for review, I will post it here when it gets accepted.

so if somebody has some info on it i would greatly appreciate it.
