I wonder they gonna add VT-4 Thailand version (First customer of VT-4) or upgraded ERA like Pakistan version, there is a version with hard-kill APS system also.
Been having a blast with this vehicle, and its also got me excited for later additions like the VT-4 which is just a direct upgrade in every way. China shall grow larger
Still don't understand why they didn't just make a new "Export" line, instead of putting this after the mainly Taiwanese vehicles ... and than also moving the ZTZ99A Prototype aka WZ1001 over there, that makes even less sense, besides forcing people down that line Export line kinda like this: ZTZ59G, ZTZ85's, MBT-2000, VT-4 The Taiwanese line could have been nicely topped of with the M1A2T
I totally agree. They kind of ruined the historical progression and made it awkward to add further ROC vehicles in that line. Also the LCT should go after the 99A it’s the same tank. The export line could branch from the ztz-96 and they could add a whole other prc ifv Line. I think In a year or so China will rival ussr for best tech tree
@@danysainz-gootenberg7809 absolutly, higher-tier content wise they could easily overtake literally anyone besides Russia, if Gaijin wants to and I gotta say, recent updates do make it seem like Chinese tech-tree players might be in for a treat. And when we start to dream a bit, a North Korean sub-tree isn't out of question Heck, even the Aircraft tree could start to become intresting now
Because there are not enough space. In the future, Gaijin will split light tank line with Taiwanese/export line. This line will go like MBT2000 - MBT-3000 - VT4A1 - M1A2T, and the experimental 99A will probably be moved back to behind 99A
Although m1a2 is powerful, many people just don't want to play Chinese tech-tree because that it has too many copies of Russian and American tanks. Even some Chinese dislike this either. So gaijin need something original.
I dunno they already gave a nerf to its armor, i don’t think it’s mobility alone is justification for an increase 😅 China has access to 125-I at 9.3, I could see a push to 10.3 probably to lessen its power in a Down tier possibly
@@wifi_soldier5076 No, that would be the ZTQ-15 light tank. Which has an improved license-built version of the 105mm L7 gun, fully compatible with NATO ammunition. It has blowout panels and even an APS, which is not very common for light tanks.
The MBT-2000 is a sister-vehicle to the TZT-96. Both were developed from the Type 90-II tank. The ZTZ-96 being a version that incorporated elements from T-72's obtained via Romania, while the MBT-2000 was a further continuation and improvement of the Type 90-II, called the Type 90-IIM, which was intended for export. The Al-Khalid is essentially the same tank, but with a 1,200 hp Ukrainian engine and better optics and night vision. A further developement of the MBT-2000 is the MBT-3000 which has a new 1,300 hp Chinese engine, an improved autoloader that can load more potent rounds, an ERA package based on the ZTZ-99A's and an APS. Edit: Alterations to improve clarity and avoid confusion.
ZTZ-96 has nothing to do with Type 90-II. It's the domestic version of Type 85-2AP which is developed from Type 80 or WZ-122 chassis, while Type 90-II comes from the 1224 testbed and BK-1871 prototype.
Everyone when he get's a nuke: J and jump into the nuke-bomber. Me when i get a nuke: Nah, we're winning anyway, it's nice here on the ground, no need to J out. B-)
The positioning of the MBT2000 is a third-generation tank that is even more advanced than the 99 III. Prior to the emergence of the more advanced VT4, the MBT2000 had always been a flagship product of China's foreign trade export tanks. I don't understand why Gaijin wants to weaken the armor and firepower of the MBT2000 and put it at 10.0. This is very untrue and does not reproduce. The actual ability of MBT2000 has a complete value of 10.7-11.0. I don't know when Gaijin can restore the true performance of MBT2000. Gaijin also weakened the armor and thermal imaging of the Leopard 2PSO, which was improved from the Leopard 2A6EX, and having stronger armor is certain. But Gaijin doesn't want to give them, hoping that they can restore their true performance in the future.
Dude it's surreal to be watching this and see my name pop in Playing the q-5a 😂 razzwolftv Great plays though Justin we brought that game back with good teamwork! 12:21
Feel like this will get the plt02 treatment where it moght stay at 10.0 for a while before going 10.3 then 10.7 or they move it 10.3 or 10.7 next update Although even if the tt change i cant agree that it sits in the taiwan line with the wz1001, feel like wz1001 shoulda been foldered with ztz99a and mbt200 should branched off the ztz96a or a squad vehicle
I mean if there’s plans to add the next variant the MBT 3000/VT-4, honestly that’s definitely going to be at a higher BR and the 2000 could possibly stay 10.0
In your defence, anytime i think of pushing tanks into the water, or off a cliff, its always with allies... (usually alloes who are being dicks to either me or someone else but still)
Compared to this guy, T-80B is now a true joker with worse firepower and mobility. MBT-2000 should get better armour or better APFSDS and go to 10.7 to support the twin ZTZ-99s.
Shout out to Gaijin for adding the Dutch Orange Leo 2A6 skin to Sweden for some fucking reason instead of the German 2A6. Its not like we share our panzer division with Germany directly or anything...

Like your content but that is a bit of an L take, it is fine at 10.0. The only thing it brings to the table is mobility and turret cheek armor. Right now the UFP is completely bugged and everything can pen it, even at spots where the effective thickness is over 900mm...
