Can you share the screenshots of the new camos of VT-5?
what about armor
Turret is still 100mm KE ~500mm CE
UFP is around 80mm KE/CE
LFP is 40mm KE/CE and 20mm underneath the HHA plate
There might be more armor changes as the dev progresses and they probably will add spall liners (literally tons of photos that indicate they exist.)

I hope the BTA2 round situation is figured out before the update releases: the 105mm M900 round sits at 9.7, and scout vehicles like the 2S25M gets the 120mm 3BM60 round at 10.0
The DTW2-105 with a good reload is no slouch but I feel like at an increased BR with a target silhouette the size of an MBT, it wouldn’t be that egregious to give it its unique round

It got closed as “not enough info” and “photo’s aren’t a source”. Completely braindead

I don’t get it, this issue is literally something that can be easily resolved with a photo
There’s also another source that apparently wasn’t good enough of the chief designer stating it could elevate to +22 degrees

Yeah can the bug report mods get together and figure out a standard for this?
“A photo is not evidence” like alright fine, but then you look at the BTA2 report which is a still from a video (Read: a photo) and that’s acceptable. So are they or are they not?
These mods are very selective in what they accept, and are incredibly stubborn.

Those buggers want even more proof?
Here’s the gun elevation being showcased again while it moves down a slope
Time stamped 0:24 from CCTV Video
Dynamic Demonstration of Ground Equipment Held at Airshow China 2021 - YouTube
Man it’s like these guys who work for gaijin aren’t even trying to find information. Relying on manual slave labor of us poor players.
Another Angle of this same maneuver from New China TV. Time stamped 5:50
LIVE: Dynamic demonstration of ground equipment at Airshow China
The guns isn’t locked and is in stabilization mode, as it moves up and down the slope the gun stays in the same position proving it’s possible to reach a higher elevation angle.
These are directly from 2 separate videos, and not just a crop of a still image.

I’m gonna compile the current list of reports and their statuses so people have an idea of what’s gotten rejected and what’s being worked on:
✅Fixed:
- VT5 should carry 38 rounds of ammunition
- VT5 lacks recon drone
- VT5 should have a 105mm rifled gun
- VT5 should have 105mm rifled gun (2)
- VT5 should have LWS
- VT5 has wrong track model
- VT5 should be a light tank
- VT5 roof machinegun does not rotate
➡️Passed to the devs as suggestion:
- VT5 should have spall liner
- VT5 smoke discharger should be on the turret bustle (not an issue, as the Bangledashi model shows smoke dischargers on the turret sides)
- BTA2 round should be equippable
❓Not enough info:
- VT5 reload should be 3.4 to 4 seconds
- VT5 reload should be 4 seconds or 4.5 seconds
- VT5 should have a reload less than 5 seconds
- Lower frontal plate armor should not be 10mm
- VT5 has a high velocity HE round
- VT5 should have more gun elevation
- VT-5 should have a -5/+22 gun elevation
- VT-5 should have at least +20 degree gun elevation
- VT5 should be able to elevate the gun at least +20 degrees
- VT5 horizontal turret traverse should have 35-40 degrees per second slewing rate
🙋Open:
❌Rejected/Duplicate/Not a bug:
- VT5 does not have a turret basket
- VT5 does not have a turret basket (2)
- VT5 smoke discharger should be on the turret bustle (not an issue, see above)
- Increase VT5 reverse and forward gears to emulate hydrodynamic torque converter
- Turret bustle length incorrect
- VT5 should have a RWS for it’s machine gun (not an issue, as the Bangledashi model does not have an RWS)
- VT5 should have APS
- VT5 should have APS (2)
Seems like not a lot of reports are really passed to the devs due to source scarcity…

So now that I have provided two separate video proofs and a image proof that the VT-5 has 20 degree elevation angle the dev’s should accept it right? I mean it worked for the spall liner, and the Shell.
I really hope we don’t get another Images are not a real source response again.

Good to know, will remove from the overall list
These measurements have been very generous for gaijin. 20 degree elevation should be the absolute minimum for the VT-5.
I’m so sick and tired of their decisions.
I’ve Used the engine deck as the basis for the horizontal, as it should be more or less the flattest part parallel to the ground. Even then all the angles are >20 degrees. So if we don’t get even 20 degree’s I’m gonna go intercontinental ballistic.

Maybe submit the bug report, with the combined interview from the designer, the still photo, the videos as well. There’s no way they would reject something as blatant as this 💀

is the quadricolor unlockable through kills or eagles??
DTW2-105 at 10.7, with BTA2 it should honestly move to11.0 as currently is or 11.3 with it’s armor corrected and adjustable suspension added.
Through GE I think
Unlockable through kills(saw it in a yt video)
