Great tech tree vehicle just before the ZTZ99-II/III. I’d keep it 0.3BR below the current ZTZ99-II/III; yes, the ZTZ98 doesn’t have the ERA but with the MANPAD’s it becomes slightly more versitle against low flying aircraft/heli’s. An improvement over the ZTZ96A, none-the-less.

But please change the title, the type 98 designation is certainly wrong and you never find Chinese source call it type 98. To be consistent with the names of the 2 Type 99 already in the TT, this should be named ZTZ99-I.

This variant, which was made around 1993, wasn’t called ZTZ99 Phase I, as that only came around 2001. (Also there is a Phase 1 suggestion already here)

I’d love to see this an an event/BP vehicle, its highly unconventional design is well suited for that

As mentioned above the current consensus is that “ZTZ98” and “Project 9910” are bogus names, although I can see why you’d refrain from calling this vehicle a ZTZ99. Personally I’d call it Project 123 (1993) or WZ123 (1993).
Also last time I checked it’s still up for argument whether the tubes on the vehicle were meant to be MANPADS or APS launchers.
I dont think APS would be that long. Also it appears to have a mechanism for vertical movement which is quite odd for a APS of this generation.

Besides the obvious how does this compare to the ZTZ-99?

If you mean the current ZTZ-99s ingame, well, it doesn’t have any ERA. I think it should have slightly worse armour, and I’m not sure if it could carry the DTC shell, as idk what year that was made.

It is acceptable for me to name it WZ123 (Air Defense Experimental Model). Let it out quickly. My hair is white.Considering that it is the prototype of ZTZ99, because it has no reactive armor, and its anti-aircraft missile performance is relatively backward. Radar has no independent rotating device, can only follow the turret rotation, can only lock about 45 degrees in front of the turret aircraft, and only one. Then it can be used as a 10.0 ~ 10.3 gift pack tank.

Yes because MANPADS would solve the CAS issue.

Without that DCT 10 shell it would likely end up sitting at 10.7, unless the manpads etc forced it up (which it may) , would be nice for the T80UD to have a partner but alas, then we couldn’t use the likes of the J7 with it.
Though maybe for balancing it could get the round. and be an 11.0 squadron vehicle? gives it something unique with the manpads etc and lack of ERA.
