While I too would love to find information on the Chinese Army’s use of the 30mm APFSDS, the DTC041A-30 is probably the best ammo available for this gun. It’s a better armor-piercing round than the DTC10-30 and DTC04-30, but it’s generally considered to be an APDS as well. there are many rumors that the PLA has developed an APFSDS superior to the 3UBR11 and that it’s already in service, but it’s never been exposed in the media.
However, for vehicles that will not be equipped with APFSDS, DTC041A-30 will be a better ammo than 3UBR8 and DTC10-30.
Hey, I just made the Suggestion for the VN-20, and I’m interested in making sure I have all the info I need to prove that the autocannon used by it is a better one than on the QN-506. Would you be willing to share the documents and name if this autocannon with me, either in the VN-20 thread or through DM’s? I’m very much interested in this new autocannon and it’s name.
You can directily copy what I post here, and edit the information in VN-20. These are all what I find, no other information in these 2 files, like ammo, accuracy, amo storage, etc. And, no name, only “new type revolver autocannon”. In november, when the Zhuhai Air Exhibition open, we may know.
would you be able to share the original document? If i cant prove the documents authenticity then i cant make a bug report about it if gajjin ever models the autocannon wrong
Some update, VN-17 may uses HJ-16 instead of HJ-12(look the cap of the package), which is bigger, some say it’s similar to QN-502 which is 1000mm pen while HJ-12 is 750mm.
update: some sources say QN-502 is the export version of HJ-16.
RA-12 is a small missile, opposed to Javelin, with about 750mm pen, while HJ-16 which similar to QN502, is much bigger, and about 1000mm pen. This would be much more useful in game, one problem with the F&F missile in game is that they got low pen, can’t pen mbt’s main armor.
@soviet_MoonMan@Miraz05 I think I made a big mistake, the auto cannon data I found, is for the LD-35’s 35mm gun, that explains the unusual high rpm for a IFV cannon, and matches the data of LD-35.
hard to say, this kind of barrel with ribs is seen on almost every modern cannon. Ribs are used to Increase the stiffness of the barrel, make it more accurate. The answer could be anything between a ZPT—99 with new barrel or a completely new gun.
