    Here is a photo of 99A prototype (the official name for this prototype is WZ123B) in 00s. It was based on a ZTZ-99's chassis while have a brand new fully welded turret (which eventually became the production model's turret) and new 125/L52 main gun (this experimental variant of long barrel 125 gun never went into actual production because there are some issues regarding its barrel life and quality control). https://ibb.co/MRWZgGN

    So from what I know, CH1000 and CH1000B all have the same number of reverse gears, the difference is that CH1000 requires manual gear shifting while CH1000B has an more advanced automatic gear shifting.

    Sorry I don't know much about transmission. The comparison graph you posted is from Object 477, I can upload the full graph if you want.

    All variant of 96 and 99 still retains that old autoloader, DTC-10-125 is the best thing they can get with the projectile length limitation.
  5. TINDALOS
    The article in the picture is a perfect example on why most of the contents on various Chinese defence related magazines are pure garbage.

    For now, it is bustle for 15 (with a 105 gun) and carousel for 96/99. In the near future? Probably something similar to the T-14, umanned turret plus carousel I guess.

    In the bullshitery article, the description below reads "This is the UFP of VT4". Howecer, it is in fact VT-4's turret armour module.
  8. TINDALOS
    yes, official data is 680mm RHA pen. And also, DTC-10-125 does not have a ballistic cap (similar to DM53 and M829A3/4)
  9. TINDALOS
    The article in this photo is a total bullshit written by some high school kiddo, Object 477 himself criticized it HARD. Ask him for detail of the whole thing.
  10. TINDALOS
    PS: Which means that DTC-10-125 is probably a little bit inferior when comparing its performance with DM53 and 3BM59, while fanboys on weibo, tieba, and other Chinese social medias and forums just brainlessly repeat: "it can penetrate 1000mm of RHA" again and again....

    And here is that phase 2 and phase 3 side by side photo I'm talking about: https://ibb.co/Qjnvhk0

    For auto loaders, I'm afraid that 96 and 99 all have the same autoloader (at least dimension wise) because there are photos showing even the oldest 96 tank can still use the 125mm sabot phase 3. From a photo wich phase 2 and phase 3 been placed side by side we can see that 125mm sabot phase 3 don't have a significant improvement over phase 2 regarding their similar dimension, also from the official source we know that phase 3's penertration is 680mm around 2km at a initial speed of 1800m/s...

    Here is 15's turret without composite armor module: https://imgur.com/Qbtseue For comparison, here is 99A's turret with out composite armor module https://imgur.com/JcPJiMa You can clearly see that 15 has a pretty pathetic armor, mainly due to the fact that it is not deigned to engage tanks such as T-90S. The amour (composite plus era) was intended to defeat hand held anti tank weapons and medium caliber auto cannon rounds.

    In general, some Chinese weibo blogger such as Monochromelody (he is on SH), object 477 (he is also on SH), and 风味磁能原理样机 are well informed and have some quality information regarding Chinese and Russian AFVs. The rest of Chinese internet is just a huge garbage landfill filled with Chinese nationalists fanboy who tirelessly boasting about their "invincible wunderwaffe" and can't take any critics. They are... furious and ignorant for most of the time. Why did I know? Because I am a Chinese myself.
  15. TINDALOS
    Too bad this thing only has paper armor
  16. TINDALOS
    That was from HJ10 NLOS-ATGM
  17. TINDALOS
    That MAKIFTA looks pretty similar to a Ukrainian RK-3 Corsar ATGM
  18. TINDALOS
    yes the Chinese do looked at the German MTU. At first (in the 80s) when ZTZ-99 was still under intense development they even considered AGT-1500, but for the reason we all knew AGT-1500 didn't become the egine of this chinese tank.
  19. TINDALOS
    also it has an electromechanical stablizer similar to 2E58, while ZTZ-99A still uses a hydroelectrical stablizer
  20. TINDALOS
    Ps: it is also lighter than ZTZ99A, while achieve the same protection level (if the mounted ERA is FY-4)
  21. TINDALOS
    better turret armour layout, better era coverage, lower frontal profile (probably), a RCWS slaved to panoramic sight, modular design (customer can choose which ERA, which engine, and which gun they wnat to install regarding their financial status), and also it looks much more cooler that ZTZ-99A
  22. TINDALOS
    Hello, does anyone have any information regarding russian AGAVA-2 (T01-P02), Progress-2 (T01-P05), and Nocturne (T01-P06)? From public available informations I've read that Agava-2 has a "128 elements matrix", does that makes its general performance on par as WBG-X? @LoooSeR @SH_MM
  23. TINDALOS
    Didn't all Asian 3rd generation tanks have thin side armour?
  24. TINDALOS
    Yes, that is mainly the PLA's issue (they actually want that turret because it looks "cooler", however there are not much of an improvement in protection values between this new turret and ZTZ-99's old turret), not the designers'. The huge turret of ZTZ-99A has been actively criticize for years in China. Also, technically speaking, ZTZ-99A itself can be considered as a MLU of ZTZ-99. Today, the most advanced main battle tank in China is VT-4P (Pakistan variant) instead of ZTZ-99A.

    I mean... Russia managed to get 3rd generation thermal imager (Catherine XP) into production and installed on their tank (T-72B1MS's commander sight), while Chinese tank is still using 2nd generation thermal imager... For wepaon stablizers, the current Chinese one installed on tanks is a hyrdoelectrical stablizer similar to 2E42-4, while Russia already managed to produce 2E58 electromechanical stablizer and install them on T-90M (I might be wrong). For fire power, Gen 2 and Gen 3 Chinese 125mm sabot's performances are largely similar to 3BM59. Imo, the advantage of Chinese tanks is their built-in C4I capability.
