VT-4A1 should get Side ERAs to become not so garbage as hell in next update

Is it a combat package like AWV and UBH? It could be added like the Additional side ERA like in the T-90M as motification and keeping it at same BR.

It’s an option that customers can add onto the tank purchase. The VT4 and the VT4A1 are able to be customized to the customers needs/wants. The additional ERA is an option they can select. Therefore it should be added as a modification. The lack of the ERA just shows the devs bias since Russian tanks get additional ERA mods for the different configurations of the tank but the VT4A1 is missing it despite product brochures showing the configuration and actual images of one in said configuration.

It’s a rather good tank. You’re spoiled by the mobility of the ztz99a, which makes you think it’s bad. But it’s still a rather mobile tank, it has good armor (better than the merkavas, type 10’s, challenger 2’s, arietes, and lecleres, and on par with the Abram’s). The pen isn’t phenomenal but the post pen is rather good and the gun handling is fine. It’s not the best 11.7 but it’s nowhere near the worst, and when gaijin gets around to it it’ll get spall liners. I’m not saying it shouldn’t get an option for side era but you seem to just suck with it or something cause it’s not a bad tank as is, it’s actually rather good.
TLDR: skill issue.

yeah, just like Challenger 2 : ) , even worse.
the armor thickness is also missing.

the worst firepower. poor armor. mobility without any advantage. It’s really powerful.

this is also a piece of s( )t made by gaijin
equally bad armor, equally worst firepower.
mobility does not bring any advantages.

Considering that the VT-4A1 comes after the WZ1001 which is superior in almost every manner, I think a side ERA isn’t a huge stretch to give it a leg up over the previous vehicle in the tech tree. Maybe add it in as a researchable module so people can choose if they want mobility or armor.

when will gaijin correct this mistake?

The biggest problem it is currently facing is firepower. The loading time should not be 7.1. DTC10 should not be 577, it should be 635

It is gaijin, they are more likely to let Chinese players research a new TT vehicle, instead of buffing the original one…😫

No longer, they nerf it recently.

i dont know how gaijin dare to put this shit to a line end after WZ1001E ,it is even worse than ZTZ99A

but i think gaijin will deny my issue,Trizz wont be happen too see a bug report to buff chinese mbts though,they always say NOT A BUG ,and need we give books sources.But it is very hard to find a books always leak chinese now using mbts datas .The only book i can find to support VT4A1 side ERAs are Norinco introduction book of Chinese vehicles and armos ERAs in my articles of FY-2s and VT-4 introductions.When it is russian tanks,vedios will be enouch evidence to be accepted as sources to add side ERAs,when it is chinese,they just double standard and very strictly ask us give more books details.I feel sad.VT4A1 is already the shittest 11.7 ,next updates it will lagging even later.And gaijin still improve its br,sad.

if you say VT4A1 mobility is good,means you never ever played it at all.Data on card means nothing.

any way,it is just shit as hell now.Add side ERAs is the only thing i can do and find enough datas

although i cant understand what is missed,but hope you can give more datas to support .i doubt gaijin really want these tons of issues on vt4a1 be fixed.

dreaming gaijin buffed chinese apfsds longer than russian is just meaningless,gaijin will never make that happened until gaijin died.

lol.meanwhile VT4A1 is even worse than its WZ1001E front.

Its just that the thickness of composite armour is supposed to be way more, around 1/5 more armour for UFP.

The turret armor eats a ton and the hull armor takes people by surprise. The mobility is fine, middle of the line, and it definitely doesn’t have the worst firepower. Pen wise the leclercs are worse and post pen wise basically everything is worse. And if the front armor is wrong then bug report it. The aps is super helpful late game too.

Well let us think, turret armour for any tank but ariete is good, hull, basically among the worst and firepower, same as any T72, worst to say safely, slower reload then anything worse pen, which matters minorly, and most tanks have faster reload and pen. APS helpful late round but other than that good luck with getting much done.

I’m currently aware that the DTC10 is underpowered due to… some documents floating around that Gaijin will likely not take into account due to the nature of said documents, but what’s the reload time for the VT-4 in reality?

I’ve seen some numbers being thrown around for the ZTZ99A/WZ1001/VT-4A1 but I don’t know which one is real or credible.
