Must be the angle or editing but the gun looks waaay too big.

This is a Type 100 support tank
We also have ZTZ99B. I think Gaijin should first add ZTZ99B

Yes though theres not much different aside from new and more powerful gun. Its APFSDS specs got leaked last year. Its better than DM53 but nothing special by todays standards. In any case, we should discuss that in a thread about the ZTZ-99 tank.
what’s this new gun you’re talking about? I’m genuinely curious
Updated unmanned weapon warfare
We don´t know its name yet, just that last year we got full leaked specs on a new APFSDS “DTC-201” (we got declared dimensions of penetrator, weight and muzzle velocity, will post L-O below) stated to be compatible with “ZTZ-99A-1” and “ZTZ-99B”, achieving extremely high muzzle velocities in both and even a bit higher in the latter, indicating that both tanks are using a more powerful gun with differing barrel lengths.
So, penetrator is 650x22mm and MV from 99B is a whopping 1860 m/s. Which yields:
And this is the last I write here derailing the thread, which is about Type 100.
This was leaked?
It has APS I think
This is the forward-pushing projectile design for the DTW-125. It was a suggestion previously submitted in the issue section, but it was removed due to confidentiality concerns.
yeah thought as much, the 99B doesn’t look like it has a new gun so it magically getting a whopping 60m/s more (which is huge btw) seems dubious, even on sinodefence they already came to the conclusion that this is just something people cooked up
They could just buff the currently used DTC10-125; its already almost as strong as the DM53 IRL with around 680mm of penetration but in-Game just has 570mm 'cause Gaijin can’t have Chinas Stuff be better than Russias too i guess

Didn’t see any APS on the ZTZ99s during the Parade even tho some did had APS on them when they arrived to Beijing and some older pictures exist too with 99Bs having APS equipped but only on one Side for whatever reason.

680mm would likely be its ‘line of sight’ 60° pen, at some distance
Ingame, for the WZ1001’s L/54 cannon, the 60° LOS pen is 680mm at 10m, 632mm at 2000m
From what i can see the WZ1001 only has max 588mm penetration in-Game

Why doesn’t it have any ATGMs? They seemed quite eager to slap Missiles/ATGMs and APS on everything but no ATGMs for the IFV nor APS on their MBT seems odd.
From 10m, its 588mm at 0°, 680mm at 60°
You have to remember to double the 60° values to convert from vertical pen to LOS pen
Real world sources use LOS pen, war thunder displays the stat cards in vertical pen

Lol didn’t know that, why doesn’t Gaijin use LOS Pen when its what is used everywhere else?
Just the way the game calculates the pens internally I think
They could probably change the stat cards to auto convert it
maybe just for test.ZTZ-99A/B should disassemble one side turret ERA and basket to lift the power pack. And if it has APS, it will be a nightmare for maintenance staff
