New Type98/99 MBT thread

[nemo]

Could someone give me the link to the Ariana Threat Guide?

I searched for it in google and this thread came up on top O_O

It seems Norfolk didn't read his source correctly. To quote Ariana Threat Guide:

The later T-72Ms and T-72M1s are equipped with laser rangefinders ensuring high hit probabilities at ranges of 2,000 meters and below

According to this, the limitation is clearly with fire control, not the gun.

BTW, the link is

there are some talk about the 120mm vs. 125mm tank gun, but one area just as important was the fire control system.
in 1991 back issue of IDR,the reporter interview several ex-west. german official who exam the east german t-72 tank.claim the russian supplied fire control system is mediocre. but admit 125mm tank gun has "growth potential".

Images from Chinese television, showing Type-99's fire control systems, note on the third picture, the range reads 4791,does it mean that Type-99 is capable of engaging targets up to 5km away?

[zaky]

This pictures are from M1 Tank Platoon II computer games, one of the best tank simulator ever.

So the PLA are playing M1 TANK PLATOON II?

[crobato]

You don't expect them to show the real picture do you? They probably spliced in that part.

[maozedong]

many people like to play in the internet, once I saw a pic which showed a Su-27 fighter take off from the way where under the sea inside.

Hmmm dont no why everyone keeps saying things about the Type 99 shot trap issue. To hit the spot its is both hard to penetrate and difficult. That area armour is pretty much thicker then the rest. Only issue which I think should be fixed is the slow acceleration of the Type 99 taking 12 seconds to reach 0-32km/h much slower than the South Korean counterpart taking 7 seconds. With 5 seconds difference you couldv'e evaded enemy fire by then with the extra speed.

?! Where'd you get that information? 1500hp may not be torque, but for such a high powered diesel machine, its torque should be enough to accelerate at a good pace.

Then as someone else said, tanks usually aren't really required to run fast, especially during battle.

With modern KE penetrators, they don't tend to ricochet like the old AP rounds do.

Both engines are 1500HP but the Korean counterpart is heavier yet having faster acceleration time...0-32km/h in 12 second is fairly slow

Hi all here is a 3d model of the type 98, i created the model just to look much realistic as the real t-98 here is a video

we can have discussion about if this tank can or cannont stand aginst the western tanks such as the M1A1 Abrams or the european Leopard II
