35:31 Everything wrong with tank fights in Squad. Abrams had the knowledge and positioning advantage but still attacks the ZTZ head on. Abrams gunner doesn’t know or doesn’t care that he is hitting the strongest part of the armor and doing no damage (short lasting light sparks are sign of deflection). He *STILL* keeps shooting the same spot and dealing no damage. Abrams driver just sits there instead of taking initiative and maneuvering or retreating. When they are on their last hit the driver decides to drive forward, staying in the ZTZ’s sights, instead of using the Abrams superior reverse speed. And the cherry on top the ZTZ having Xi-Jinpilium armor being the only tank in the game that cannot be penned by anything in the front hull amor.
To be completely fair, ZTZ can be penned frontally, but they are really unreliable. You can hit a side of the ERA box and pen it. And there is a small thing above tracks, that can be penned. Also some weakspots on turret And yeah, abrams did really bad
Honestly the only bad things here were that both abrams decided to sit there and not have at least one flank/moving so at least they’d have a better chance armor for the ztz wise it can be penned front easily abrams crew is js ass
@@Kweizimbzambza Tons of weak spots on the front now... But You have to know them... They both just kept aiming turret/camera on the ZTZ which does like 5%... Its the price you pay with unexperienced people in the tanks.
I was gunning the ZTZ who survived the first tank 2v2, and ended up dying to anti-tank in Niva upper... I'm glad that my first MoiDawg appearance was good!
i played against this faction in a game the other day, i was in a bmp-2 side on to an already smoking ztz, i hit him with 4 tows, 2 in the side of the hull, one center mass side of the turrent and one in the rear of the turrent as he faced the other way, the ztz didnt die from all that even after 2 russian mbts got him tracked and smoking, a tow fob was built and hit him in the face, still not dead. i went back to re arm the tows and when i got back they had just built a repair station for him. No one can convince me after that game the ztz isn't broken. Still beat em though so they sucked.
I want to play/see a Tallil Invasion with Turkey attacking with the armor squad against the INS armor squad defending. It would be 3 T60s vs 3 T62s and 2 BMP1s. Hopefully Turkey wouldnt have TOWs either. I think it would be a unique fight.
the abrams is basically the same tho, you basically cant get a pixel perfect shot on its ammo frontally. Hull down abrams is way superior and in a close range engagement, abrams still wins because of not only the sights telling you where the 100m and 50m shots will land, but the lower inner turret cheeks become pennable. stop coping its more than possible to be a solo abrams against chinese armor as long as you communicate with your AT and hold the information advantage
@@itsericzhouabrams is not the same you can easily ammo rack it in 3 different spots you js suck tbh and even at close range js cause the sight is a lot more user friendly doesnt make it better abrams can easily be ammo racked from any distance
It's not battle tested and anything made in china's military is suspicious. I have a feeling it's a shitty Abram's clone and not nearly as impervious to tank shells in real life as it is in this game .
The Front hull is not pennable. However it has the second weakest tank turret. The mantlet, camera and the cheeks beside the barrel are easily penned in the typical engagement distance.
@@chrisstopher2277 yup, there's usually 3 or 4 seats per MBT depending on the faction Driver, Gunner, Commander (with RWS or not) and if there's a 4th it will be an exposed MG
just skill issue on the abrams, atleast the first one, the second one barely had any chance. It´s not hard actually, one has to aim for the mantlet or turret ring.
Loved the video @MoiDawg! Can't wait for the next video man! Nice to see Some Squad Gameplay with the Marines against the PLA. Sadly, if this battle were to happen after 2022/2023, The Abrams would be nowhere to be seen as the Marines Transferred the Last of their M1A1 and M1A2 SEP V2/V3 Tanks to the Army as part of their Solely Focusing on Amphibious Operations come the Next Decade. The Army's 82nd Airborne Division is currently the Sole Operator of the LAV-25's as well, as the Marines are replacing them with the Recently Accepted Cottonmouth Armed Reconnaissance Vehicles and the AAVP-7A1's are being Replaced with the Newer Amphibious Combat Vehicles (ACV's) as well. Overall, this game is a Classic W for the Marines Prior to the Biden Administrations Arrival, But Afterwards you'll have the Army taking these types of Victories. I wasn't sure until to had zoomed in on the Chinese Infantry as they were passing the Huey "Venom" but it's nice to see the PLA's Type 19 or Type 21 Xingkong (CN: "Stary Night") Camouflage Pattern Uniforms here as well, nice added bit of Detail. It would've been a Bit Trippy yet slightly immersive if anyone on the Chinese Team actually knew and Spoke Chinese LMAO! Let me know what you think about this and I'll catch you in your next video man! Also, Imagine if the Map of GTA V became a Map for SQUAD!
The only tank ive reliably killed the ZTZ with is the Challenger and Leopard although with the leopard it took about id say 6 round of which 3 were when it was side on Also the ammorack placements dont really make sense since the ZTZ should have it in the bottom hull like the T72 but LFP wont ammo rack
Should the the crew tool kit be able to damage enemy vehicles like the repair tool in battlefield? If it can be used to fix your tank, why not to take one apart?
Man the fact that the abrams crew probably knew that the ztz front armour is glitched and takes like no damage but still enaged them from the front multiple times🤦♂
@@marshalljulie3676 Perhaps, however American military exceptionalism in video games does not come from a de jure governmental ownership/regulation the way it does in the PRC. They literally have it as a matter of law that you cannot portray China as incompetent or evil in video games. Remember them banning Battlefield 4? A game made in Sweden by the way.
@@speedevil22same thing happen with Homefront, the dev had to change the ennemy faction as North Korea cause the poor CCP piglet where gonna ban the game in China, which we shouldnt care about China market
Terrible situational awareness at 20:00. No one communicated(?) that the Hab was just damaged by airstrike. 3 Chinese 15 meters away and not one goes to rebuild it.
Playing against a chinese armor faction, your best chance is to just play infantry and cap the objectives in force. Also the .50 cal is almost useless now against medium armor. It needs a damage buff. Playing as Turkey, I put a full belt from an emplaced .50 cal into the side of an engined LAV-6 and it did nothing.z And FFS when are they gonna fix that audio glitch?
I am confused how a lighter ZTZ keeps winning these fights in head to head fights. I mean, it just seems too unrealistic. Than again, I don't play Squad so I may not know anything about the game. Maybe the modders made that way to balance the Chinese PLA in the game.

They still haven’t fixed the hit box or something?
Right, they feel artificially strong compared to other tanks.
The Front hull is not pennable. However it has the second weakest tank turret. The mantlet, camera and the cheeks beside the barrel are easily penned in the typical engagement distance.
Thoroughly entertaining round! Crazy that the two halves (inf/armour) of both sides had very different perspectives of the round! :D
Those tanks at the start what were they trying to do?
How do tanks operate in this game? Are there multiple people in it?
@@chrisstopher2277 yup, there's usually 3 or 4 seats per MBT depending on the faction
Driver, Gunner, Commander (with RWS or not) and if there's a 4th it will be an exposed MG
Devman, can we maybe do something about the ZTZ front armour. Its invincible.
The ZTZ needs to be debuffed. It’s crazy how many hits they take compared to other MBTs.
just skill issue on the abrams, atleast the first one, the second one barely had any chance. It´s not hard actually, one has to aim for the mantlet or turret ring.
@@cstylar.official still ztz shouldnt be this overpowered
That’s alright, they have the worst rifle to get balanced

20:20 yep that was me trading hahaha (Esper)
Chinese Armor played very really. USMC INF did well too. Good stuff.
ZTZ should not be as OP as it is, it’s ridiculous. Also if you’re gonna pair ZTZ99 then you should give USMC M1A2
A cheeky British gameplay wouldn’t go amiss
“Enemy trees”

Should the the crew tool kit be able to damage enemy vehicles like the repair tool in battlefield? If it can be used to fix your tank, why not to take one apart?

WTF is with the invincible Chinese tanks. I call bs on the game mechanics
It's Chinese owned game. Of course their tank is invulnerable.
Just like in US games everyone else is weaker 🤷
