Pla Test1

why though? china already has around 1500 type 96's. i beilive a 125mm gun version of the type 59 was already introduced to the export market, but the pla did not adopt it. i think china should keep building 96's to keep its tank force strong.

Well, if PLA has around 1500 Type 96's, then it would be reasonable not to spend a lot of money on the T-55's. I forgot PLA had that many Type 96 tanks.

I find the Al-Zarrar upgrade really nice. If I actually upgrade 59/69/79s (They should've upgrade the 79s, not 59s......) into Al-Zarrar config, I would keep them until the day they really become fully dead. I wouldn't put a 125 on it though. The recoil can be a hemi, and if the loader doesn't get out of the way quick enough (Especially in such a small tank.) I'd keep the 105 instead.

If the Al-Zarrar can take a lot of RPGs, I'd say it fits in with an urban battle.
How much does it weigh?
