In other words: This is a wonderful update for the PLA of PR! Nice work, Sicario!

The type 96 is the standard MBT for the PLA ( the latest versions look pretty similar to the type 99 ) The type 99 will only equip certain divisions.

And these "certain divisions" are probably the ones that we are playing as in PR, right?

I hope so - Apparently the armour on them can take 7 125mm rounds and sustain very little damage - maybe not be true, but who knows. Alot of people put down the PLA, but Im pretty sure this would be a mean opponent to any western tank.

"7 125mm rounds",that sounds waaay to un-true to me...I don't even know if any other tank can take that many 125mm...

Source on the "7 125mm rounds"-thingy?

And yes, this one would cause a lot of trouble for any western tanker. It's powerful, uses a big and mean gun and moves very fast. Since its main opponent (at least with the current maps) is that British monster I think its only fair to give it all the advantages it has IRL.

And yeah, keep the gunner inside if that's how he is IRL.

Dont laugh - its on wikipedia. Theres plenty of sources which say the armour is equivlent to 1.2-1.5 of steel armour. Apparently it has ERA and cobham type armour as well.
If the tests were done with HEAT rounds then from my understanding of how they work, theuy cause very little damage on the external surface - its the inside which blows off and destroys the tank/crew - 7 rounds does sound like BS though.
Other cool things this tank has are laser countermeasures/warning system, which warns that its being targeted and can then blind enemy tanks and helicopters. It also carries 4 A-11 anti tank/helicopter guided missles - it would be great to have some A-11's on it in PR as well.

So i guess judging by your R-CON status, this has been taken under the DEVs wings? And that we will not being hearing anything about it unless they approve, which they never do

his long awaited con tags, hes done stuff for the factions and I think the mod it self. Good job! I hope this gets done soon
