From this vedio,23:06-23:12 and 23:43-23:48,when reloader take and reload shell,it only use 6 seconds,and you can clearly see it can be even faster,since in first one relaod he make a mistake and in second shoot ,its real reload time can easily be 5 seconds(and even can shorter).
I know people will say reload time is a way of balance,but i dont think give ZLT-11 its 6s second reload time，no even ask for 5s as this vedio shows, will make it be too good so op,since now it is kinda sucks with 6.7s .Frist, its huge shells in head and poor armor and now 6.7s reload is enough sucks, and gaijin still dont add its -34km/h reserve speed as reality into game,its mobility also kinda sucks ,its has no way to escape if get hit,even after 3 years gaijin finally fix its huge turn radius,it still sucks.Now this tank is still very rare to see in china top tier.even M1128 and Centaurus are better than this kinda shit.M1128 has totally better no crew head ,which are perfect for scan and sniper ,and much better m900 shells,and its survirty is also better than ZLT11 too ,i always get my shells shoot through it and kill nothing,but it is much easier to kill ZLT-11 since its shells are everywhere and head full with people and shells is very huge and high target .Italy Centaurus has totally better mobility and protection and survirity than ZLT-11.And both of them have their engine in front,while ZLT-11 is on its butt,which also decrease its survivity.
I really hope gaijin can buff its reload time,at least to 6s ,just like italian Centaurus with 120mm gun one ,no way chinese 105mm shells need longer reload time than italian 120mm shells…And it need balance to make it not that rare to see.Even most chinese players dont want to play it .
Since i know gaijin wont buff its reserve speed,i think kinda buff its reload time will not break what gaijin called balance.
I deliver a suggestion of buff its reload time,but gaijin ruler delete it,sad.Hope more people see this,and help us call for buff it to be not that unfun to play.
Both the Centauro I 105 and ZLT-11 have a 6.7 reload, which is standard for 105mm guns. With the much higher horizontal traverse rate of the ZLT-11, it seems balanced (although I do question why it’s not 9.3 like the Centauro I 105).
I guess it’s due to the ATGM, better thermals, and better dart.
The BRs lack granularity when it comes to the 9.x armoured cars, the ZLT is slightly better than the Centauro 105 so it makes sense to be higher, but it ends up sharing the BR with the Type 16 that is all around better save for amphibious capabilities and shell selection.
Arguably the Type 16 could go to 10.0, but the Centauro 105 at 9.3 is already a menace, the ZTL would be no different.
zlt11 mobility and huge high body is not good at all.and its armor also sucks a lot,no reserve speed just make its survirity even worse.That is just why it is not often see as Centurio,even when chinese main players groups is 3 time bigger than italian
i would rather hope gaijin give zlt11 6s/5s reload,give its -34km/h as reality and go to 10.0.Now it is just a big juicy targets that no one chinese love .
The turret traverse is much better on the ZLT-11, though. Also my god I checked what rounds it has and it has a 491mm pen APFSDS, a 750mm pen ATGM, and an HE-VT shell. Ngl that makes its BR make a lot more sense.
Both the centauros and the zlt are pretty similar, the centauro has a slightly better mobility and it is smaller, while the zlt has a better firepower and optics, that being said the zlt has no buisness being 9.3, it is fine at the current br, i dont really know why are you even comparting it with the 9.3 centauro, when it has a dm23 and 1st gen thermals when you have the prem centauro or the romor which are also 9.7 and they are closer to the zlt.
