Will there be 2 versions of VT-5 or is the armour package a modification?
Thank you for the info cant wait!
BD one is probably going to be premium/squadron. I’m going to be really happy if the bd one is going to be a squadron tank.
Isn’t the add-on armor VT-5 supposed to have a RCWS instead of a manually controlled hmg?

VT5 should be a 35mm grenade+12.7 HMG, maybe gaijin made a mistake. I will submit an issue when VT5 goes online for testing

It should have a 5.8mm QJT 88 coax machine gun instead of the 7.62mm Type 86 machine gun. Remember to include that in your bug report.

I have done a deep dive into the VT-5 specs and it’s really annoying because there’s no official brochures or anything. That photo is pretty much the only somewhat ‘official’ image we have that states the horsepower of the VT-5, but it almost looks like a museum display and AFAIK Gaijin doesn’t like using those as official specifications.
Most sources seem to confuse the VT-5/ZTQ-15/Type 15 because they are pretty similar, but this just makes it really difficult to identify actual differences in things like engine power.
The most solid source I found that seems to be a step above a blog post with decent information, but still has no sources. Here is the VT5 source that seems to be somewhat good and was actually used in the source list from the ZTQ-15 forum post that was passed for consideration
I really want the VT-5 to have the 1000hp engine of the ZTQ-15/Type 15, but at this stage it seems to be in Gaijin’s hands whether they give it the 884hp or 1000hp, because unless someone can find a quality source document, it could sway either way and I personally would much prefer 1000hp@33tons versus 884hp@33 tons.
This is from Bangladesh army’s Military Hardware Display 2024 event.

Translated source 5
There’s no proof of VT-5 having a 1000hp engine. There’s another suggestion for the VT-5 but the author stated that it has 1000hp 8V150 engine but 8V150 engine only produces 884HP.

Is this the only quality source we have (I’m not coping I swear). Because missing out on ~116hp at 33 tons will be pretty bad.
Also we have 2 models datamined and I cannot find a Bangladesh VT-5 with the armour package, only the VT-5 itself as an export version
Yes. There are claims of other VT-5s having 1000hp engine but they dont have any evidence to back their claim.

Add-on armor one might be a TT tank and this one is most likely going to be a Squadron/Premium tank
Do you think the VT-5 with add on armour could have 1000hp? Because VT-5 export (non-Bangladesh) do say 1000hp, but again no ‘good’ sources
Gaijin usually doesn’t like to add something without proper evidence and currently we only have the evidence of VT-5 having a 884hp engine. So it might not get a 1000hp engine.

@Miraz05 Is there any evidence of these 2 stats? I think we may need these prepared in case we need to raise an issue to Gaijin

I’m curious what ammunition Gaijin will give it. My guess is DTW2-105 copied over from the ZLT11.
