KE PROTECTION IS OVER ONE THOUSAND!!!

No idea if it is ture or fake.

 

BUT, until now this claim by Jia Yuanyou in CCTV is the only opened official source related to 99A's protection.

 

There is little information about 99's real protection level because its top secret.

 

When I first heard such info, I also keep skeptic, but now IMO it is possible, according to other information implied by some official publishments (mainly China Ordnance Society), there might be some type of integrated ERA under the face plate of 99's modular composite armor(So there are 2 layers of heavy ERA if taking account the hinged ERA tiles), which can drastically increase the KE protection level..

My mistake. I forget to write frontal.

I mean frontal, yes, but even frontal arc, Chinese design seems unsuited! Armor array is designed in such a way that either the interior is awful or the weakness is exposed in the frontal 60* arc.

 

I realize Russian design is only frontal 60*, NATO include the sides, but China does not. Frontal array is thick but does not cover wider aspect. Like Russian/Soviet & NATO.

Thanks for kindness

you realize Russian design is *ONLY* frontal 60*,and NATO somehow with that thin plate count as" include the sides"?!?!?

now have you realize you are deadly WRONG?!

most almost all of the NATO tank who are only able to maintains protection of the frontal 30 degree cause the stupid manual loader eats extra steel and with the autoloader put in hull as the russian did they don't need that thin plate to protect the none exist loader for god sake.

and the fact the frontal 60 degree maintains equal level of high protection(breech area doesn't count) and dramatically less weight is ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AMAZING

For the Type 99 (A) the front armor's resistance to AP round/sabot is equivalent to 7** mm RHA, the resistance to HEAT round is equivalent to 1***mm RHA....

The top armor's resistance to HEAT round is equivalent to ***mm RHA...

In other words, better base armor than the likes of T-90A, combined with comparable ERA (copy of Relikt?) equals better overall protection equivalencies. Nothing surprising there.

 

That said, im having doubts about M829A4 being capable against this chinese tank.

Autoloader isn't the reason why:

Despite having an autoloader and only 3 crew, the Leclerc's fighting compartment volume is higher than that of the Leo 2.

It isn't about autoloader's, it's about internal volume and the armourweight/volume required to protect this internal volume.

 

You forgot to point out that this means lower elevation angles for the gun, reliability issues for the autoloader, less frontal protection and a myriad of other issues.

Also, that's possibly one of the worst drawn M1 turrets I've seen so far.

Even then, the M1A1 turrets are vastly better in frontal protection than the Type 90 because it's got ~270mm more LOS while also adding more weight in armour going from A1 to A1HA than the Type 90 has total for it's special inserts.

No. The Leopard-2 turret crew compartment is definitely bigger than the Leclerc one. 

The Leclerc auto loader is mounted very forward into the turret. Both crew members are at the middle of the ring (the largest ligne to be seated side by side). And at last, the Leclerc roof is lower. 

So, the turret armoured belt surface is lower with the French MBT than  with the German’s one.

But the actual fighting compartment as viewed from the front is wider, I had some internal volume figures somewhere, I'll see if I can dig those up.

The Leclerc turret ring is very similar to the Leopard one. So, I can’t see how can the compartment be bigger. The Leclerc is not considered as a roomy tank. 

Because both crewmen are seated, the roof is very low. This is why there is a bulge (wich is considered as a balistic weak point). 

And, once more, the armor panel of the autoloader is much more forward than you can image at first.

Perhaps because the crew are placed further apart and closer to the outside.

I'm sure there's a reason why the Swedes decided to render the important area as bigger.

I agree that the actual crew compartment is lower, but the gun certainly isn't and that's still counted as fighting compartment AFAIK.

 

Still, autoloader =/= more effecient internal layout, especially not when you have silly comparisons like that M1 turret vs the Type 90 turret.

Considering that they didn't even test the Ariete I think he's right.

 

Don't forget the Arjun! How dare these Swedes to not test the power of India!!! :ph34r:

Yeah, the mean Swedes! How could they demand their future tank to be reliable, to accurately hit targets and to drive through muddy terrain and snow. These bastards!
