Chinese MBTs / War Thunder

There are two main approaches to designing main battle tanks. The western way… and the Soviet way. A typical NATO tank is a relatively big vehicle operated by a four man crew and armed with a 120mm gun with good elevation. Soviet engineers usually go for a low profile, a densely packed interior and a 125mm gun with an autoloader. All in all, tanks belonging to different schools of tank design are so different both visually and on a technical level, that, in most cases, you can easily tell whether a vehicle was made in the USSR or in the West just by looking at it.
Sometimes, though, engineers decide to walk the middle path, making good use of ideas and design choices of both schools of tank design. That’s basically what happened in the People's Republic of China, where Soviet tanks were eventually used as a base for original local designs.

I think modern chinese tank design shows some interesting new trends with the type 15 doing away with the carousel autoloader in favor of an autoloader in the turret bustle instead to increase crew survivability is the ammo goes boom.

[@EcchiRevenge]

That's less of a concern when Type 15 has very little armor to begin with(don't care if you have blowout panels if the shot goes through front/back of turret with wall separating crew from ammo being compromised), against mbt-level apfsds ofcourse. Placing it in the turret makes it more likely to go boom in first place since turret is almost never hidden from the enemy, and also requires more armor on side of turret to keep it from getting damaged by every single thing(placing ammo in hull at least allows tracks/roadwheels to be used as some protection). It's probably a compromise in design(terrain requires more elevation/depression than what height-minimized T-series design can provide, so turret is taller) to make use of the extra space in turret and keep ammo safer from landmines.

A man jumped in front, blocking the whole parade. They all stopped..then he jumped on top of the tank, and did some antics. Nothing happened..then he got off. Tank tried to drive around at some point..he kept blocking it. Tank kept stopping.. nothing happened. That's the end of the video. Absolutely zero violence from the tanks or people inside them. What's the point of your comment again? There's absolutely zero evidence either of tanks opening fire or running over anyone in tiananmen square. But there are lots of video evidence of soldiers killed, hung from bridges and burned Cartel style. Then these murderers stole their weapons and even armored vehicles like tanks and started opening fire on the innocent crowds..so obviously Chinese military had to take action at that point after weeks of restraint, and even after dozens of them got killed they still held back. If there were thousands killed it was because it was an armed rebellion and they had armored vehicles, auto matic weapons, even grenades at that point. Thousands killed is already low compared to what would have happened if China did not put an end to it. A civil war with tens, probably even hundreds of millions killed and affected. So Chinese unity and stability is of paramount importance to China and Chinese people.

I appreciate gaijan for showing what did not happen. Hope CCP will not force gaijin to remove this video.

If they force them to remove the video for the scene, they’re basically admitting that the scene is somehow sensitive info, which undermines their whole argument about nothing happening at all, mr. Pooh is in a catch twentytooh

[@empireofitalypsstimfromano5025]

There Were Multiple Schools Of Tank Design But Only 2 Remained. The American One And Soviet One. German One Died In 1945 But Still Slightly Influences Their Current Designs, British Design Got Pretty Much Absorbed And French Design Ended With The Surrender Of France. There Was A Total Of 5 Schools Of Tank Design.

[@ex0duzz]

China doesnt care about your schools, styles or forms. China is the MMA of design. They will use ideas from every school as long as it works for them and meets their needs.

[@robertoarolas4722]

You missed an important variant - the Type-80, which is a T-54 chassis with M-48 suspension and British L7 gun. It marks the turning point of Chinese tank design.

i love how ztz's are t72 that don't look like t72s anymore

[@chihimlam]

They're actually not, the ZTZ96 was based on the ZTZ85 which was based off the ZTZ80/88, which was based as a counter-T-72 for the Chinese after the Sino-Soviet Split. The ZTZ99 is based on the ZTZ96 by the way. So essentially, you can somewhat say they're very distantly related, but most ZTZ85 and on used Western tech more commonly.

[@A_WC_C]

@@chihimlam the Type 85 did receive plenty of parts from the T-72, despite what Bruce says. The Chinese government actually acquired a T-72A from Iran (who got it from you know where) at some point in the early 80s

[@chihimlam]

@@A_WC_C Yes, but most parts of the Type 85 were domestically produced, and also, in contrast with common knowledge, Chinese copies are actually better than the original.

[@yizhenji5564]

They should get rid of the log to get out of the Soviet shadow. Lol! Anyway I like the 96 and 99. Just that the reverse speed is so sad.

[@Huaneyk]

yeah, I'm even wondering if the devs just made up the reverse speed on purpose to form a sense of soviet-inspired characteristic of the 96 series, I have even watched a video in which the 96b (a specific model with 1200hp engine) or 96a or what reversing at way higher speed then what it behaves in game. and for the 99s, -4 kph is breath-taking, literally......
