The chinese helicopters in game still pretty underdeveloped with incorrect drag values for the suspended weaponry. Considering the in-game meta the current capabilities and battle rating for the Z-10 is really BAD. AKD-10 uses a lofted flight trajectory, which in the game is a really bad attack profile and the missile travel speed is excruciatingly slow compared to the Hellfires and Vikhrs in game, which give SPAA much more time to react and shoot down the Z-10.

Don't forget the Z-19 recon was also added. Heard it had better stats than the Z-10 which I don't know how realistic that is.

Yeah but it was added a lot earlier compared the rest of the gang here and they locked it behind a pay wall.

So you're saying the missile can perform better or on the same level as hellfire?

I remember there was an issue with someone related to the development of the Chinese tree, which would ban anyone anyone who provided proof about the specs of chinese equipment. The guy would even refuse things as manufacturer brochures and would give Gaijin any value he deemed.

I don't remember if it's the same guy, but the old data consultant for the Chinese ground tree was pretty bad and did things that you mentioned. After he got fired, suddenly China got the ZTZ99A and helicopters.

Yeah, that guy. Maybe there is a backlog of old data and new data to sift through and hence why the specs don't match.

Though, if the performance of chinese vehicles ends up being better in some areas, the western fanbase will whine about how their Challenger 2 isn't obliterating everything in the map just like they are whining about T-80BVM lately.

Lol to be fair the challenger 2s are pretty bad in game so they are already complaining about that.

Chinese 8.0-8.7 lineups are really good, but anything after that is just ok at best.

Like at top tier the Chinese helicopters are good anti air until you face anything Russian but pretty mediocre at CAS, and the 99A has pretty mediocre gun handling/reload compared to most NATO/Russian MBTs but has really good mobility, probably the second most mobile one behind the T-80BVM.

I just wish we could get some more light tanks/ifvs.

It is a rather bad tank, so it makes sense.

I'm still stuck at tier 1-2, lol. The economy and research point nerf hasn't made life easy. My most advanced ground line is the Soviet one, but I'm only at 6.3-6.7 after what, 7 years?.

They'll probably start adding the Type-15 and similar soon, seeing that the 2S38 is already being added.

Just a giant, heavy, slow "modern" churchill but obviously becoming very outdated to the competition, maybe their daddy will give them American SEP4s.
