the gap has been pretty much sorted out on the 99. the combo of era and composites may not be as good as choubham, but can own any taiwanese tank. what i want to know is if it has blow out panels And/or armored compartments on the 99.

Point to be made because They have yet to build a FCS Tank to state that it would be weaker is groundless. All we have are projections and ideas both of which are fluid and open to change. It would be like me saying Your Child will be a Moron even though you Have no children. the weight limit of the FCS is going up meaning it could be a better Tank in terms of armor

Second ERA is not built to stop a Tank round. a good penetrator will cut through.

Well, most countries can't easily get air superiority.

Plus, some countries don't support the idea of choppers, some don't even have proper ground attack planes.

150mm gun? You are kidding........ You don't need that to knock out a tank......

For the type 98(in comparison to the Leclerc), the chassis is OK, it was owned by the T-72, and has the mobility and speed, at 65 km/h, as provided by the 1200/1500 hp engine.
The gun is OK, but the armor is rather bad. It had a gap in the 98, and had to rely on ERA(not good) on the 99. I doubt its armor is as good as the others.

For the FCS, it's most definitely worse than those of Leclerc.

I don't think the turret is the problem, the rubber side skirts need to be addressed. Are the blocks on the Turret and front of the type 98G passive armor blocks or heavy modular ERA.

vangaurd I am not sure, I know the Type98 has been used as a major test platform for the PRC. I am sure both reactive and passive armour are being used. If the blocks you are looking at are smaller in form then they are prob filled with explosive.....cheers ute.

thats what i mean. if passive armor is needed, say against sabot, it will be used. if the enemy is using heat, they will put era on.
