I’ll check the rear turret protection of the VT-5 whenever my game updates (5gb left) as I lowkey snatched that image from another topic. I’m also going to GE it and give my opinion at the end of today and whether the vehicle is actually good or not.
I don’t think its worth doing that unless you like playing glass cannons. Maybe spend ge after a few weeks, then it will cost less.

I don’t think its worth doing that
Yeah, spending money on this game generally isn’t really worth it but I might as well since I got 14k GE sitting around. I’ve been waiting decades (aka since January) for another 10.7 Chinese vehicle and we’ve finally got it.
I’d buy a premium but I got most of the important stuff in-game grinded, the only TT I really have missing is Japan.
I also do have a hunch that the VT-5 is going to be amazing cl

Gaijin should give this tank a better round in my opinion. This tank is larger than the abrams but it has the armor of a bmp. Since they aren’t going to give it better armor, at least they should give it a better round.
This tank literally explodes if a enemy tank gets ammo racked near it.
I mean… it is a light tank alot of tanks do lol
A lightweight MBT is more fitting, though Gaijin thinks it is a light tank and decided to not give it all of its armor.

after GE the vehicle(trust me I got no financial loss) I would agree that VT5 currently perfome well in the game. It got ok ammo and good enough mobility, spall liner is great and sometime very usefull, armor is…unfortunately yet acceptable, I mean at least it wouldnt be .50 cals from the front, for APFSDS… try not the hit by one.
Yet I mean yet, for a 10.7 light tank in the game, VT5 is capable of doing stf. But it is still not 100% equal to its form in real life, apart from the armor issue that is widely know, the pen of the DTW2-105 should be increase slightly due to the improvement of the 105mm cannon, currently it is copyed directly from ZTL11.
I know it might be a balance reason and it is almost impossible to aquired the specific details but I would not believe ZPL151A(newly developed around 2010s)=ZPL98A(developed around 2000s), I mean they even got two different names. at least make it into a glass cannon when you have only bad armor
I played it quite aggressively by always pushing and flanking yet I still got 1.5kd and a pretty good win rate.
for general view I would recomend VT5 as your best light tank for Chinese tech tree to flank and have some fun, althrough it isnt the perfect form but it is still a good tank, just dont GE it, wait a bit while and maybe when you get it those problems will be fixed

DTW2-105 seems to have bad post pen damage (I haven’t used that round yet)

yes, DTW2-105 vs T80UE-1 LFP at 68m who would win?
of course is T80UE1, my shell pened and do absolutely no damge to anything but the autoloader, it makes me sometimes wonder since when did PLA use sand to make their APFSDSs
I mean the shell goes through gunner’s legs why is he not dead lmao

I hope gaijin will add the BTA2 in the near future. BTA2 should get really good post pen damage
yup, however the BR might be increased to 11.0, but I would take that as acceptable
I don’t think its going to affect its BR. M1128 gets M900 at 10.3 so I dont think adding BTA2 to VT-5 is going to increase its BR.
