China's Type 99 | The Beast From the East 

Warning：This video may be uncomfortable for you，hahahahahahahaa Why does having “China’’,invite bad manners.don‘t worry.

Type 99. Is a t 72 body on a new turret

The T72b3m is better lmao

@@Thememelord134 type 98 is based on T-72 chassis but type99 has new chassis that is more compact & shorter. The game video depicted is Type 98G, not the latest ZTZ99A2.

What game is this

Both have Gen 3 thermal and Hard kill APS but ZTZ99A has better ERA and better Turret and better Transmission,9 degrees of depression and what you said

@@sovetskyskaiyastrigon1750 Idk if it has 9 degrees but looks about 7degrees to me

@Sen That too

Or perhaps an egg roll with tracks......

@Sen INNN the flesh, Quai Chang!

No.. it’s definitely a variant. It’s the same chassis

You say that, but we've yet to see modern Chinese equipment in combat. Totalitarian systems of government are not known for backing-up their outlandish claims very consistently, for the same reasons we see playing-out in Ukraine. Who wants to tell the President-for-Life that his baby kinda sucks?

And given the state of equipment in their foray into the Ukraine, you wonder how well kept the nukes in their arsenal are. Surprised one hasn't gone off accidently somewhere.

@@JB-yb4wn John Oliver did a segment on America's history with its nuclear arsenal, and holy shit, is it terrifying, right up to today. One can only imagine what nations with far fewer resources and far less oversight are up to.

@@JB-yb4wn I would be honestly surprised if more than 10% of Russia's arsenal actually made it out of its silos in the event of a full nuclear exchange. Broken, joke of a nation lol.

So far as we know.

I'd rather be in my LC200 than in a T90 in a warzone.

​@@misutatomasu At least your truck can reverse, right?

@@Liberty_or_Ded And not break down every 300 kms

@Xi Biden Because Indian T72s are upgraded with western and Indian systems and Indian Army is the largest volunteer force with lot of training and battle experience?

​@Xi Biden The answer is they are not, most of the time running out of fuel.

"ZTZ-98" does have a official name, it's the engineering prototype tanks of project 9910. You can see it on the banner for its handover ceremony. (note project 9910 itself include a entire suite of weapon systems, not just the tank) imgur.com/a/DiGDBlh The final product does become ZTZ-99, however, it does have a significant number of differences from the prototypes paraded in 1999 other than the ERA. Particularly regard to its fire control system.

@@WangGanChang I meant that "ZTZ-98" was never its official designation AFAIK

Wow, u did a lot study

Just say type 99 not zitz

@@osmacar5331 Actually you should say ZTZ type 99, ZTZ is the first three letters of the latin alphabets of Mandarin pronunciation of "armoured vehicle. tank. main battle", in Mandarin "armour", "main" and "battle" all start with Z

I’d be very excited to see more domestic Chinese tech arrive. The only real reason War Thunder players get irritated by the Chinese tree is that you have to grind through vehicles you’ve already played in their own tree with practically nothing new to offer, unless it’s something like the F-5A which SHOULDN’T be unique to the Chinese tree. But there are such an enormous number of options for domestic Chinese tech, which I can’t wait to see

It gets a bad rap because of its copy paste vehicle from rank 1 to 4, but people forget you can create the most well rounded line up with China thanks to its mix of US and Soviet vehicles between those ranks.

@@ArmorCast that’s why I played the Chinese tech tree after I got to 6.0 BR USA and I wanted Russian tanks but it’s a crowded grind. I also liked American tanks so I ended up going with China to take a break and ended up loving the Chinese tech tree! I’m now at 7.7BR and I have only a few complaints. Such as adding the Z-10W and Z-11W helicopter

Same the ZTZ99/A are my second favorite MBT after T-72/90 series

@@zazzyboy8592 YESSSS I want my Z-10W and and Harbin Z-9 with weaponry

too bad the c1 ariete is outdated in real life because its such a pretty tank

Gay

Chinese engineers: Enjiniering 100🗿

Combine the best of both worlds. What not to like.

Engineer gaming irl

But do it in a way that somehow exacerbates the problems in both designs.

The Chinese does it the easy way. Just copy everything!

Not the new Abrams variants . The armor is only as good as the Chinese says it is and the optics may not be up to western standards either.

Reeeeeiiiiinced

Junk

China reminds me a bit of those infamous Kyber Pass Copies: China cobbles weapons and vehicles together from multiple sources, they'll make a fighter using stolen American stealth tech from multiple fighters, Russian fighter designs, European engines and materials, and then glue it all together using bits of natively produced odds and ends, and then slap a "Made In China" label on it.

@@arthas640 i mean if you guys let your stealth aircraft secrets get out, you guys deserve a slap on the face and a lesson called "how to keep a secret", because lettign out a secret that important is on you. you guys are stupid if that happened. also if youre talking about the j20, it could be stolen but you cant prove it, and i dont see whats copied about it

@@arthas640 Europe has stolen ideas and inventions from other nations and each other for hundreds of years. And the United States stole many ideas from Europe, like the water mill sewing factory. They have no leg to stand on when it comes to stealing blueprints. China Is borrowing what works, like how the other mentioned Nations have done so in the past.

@@arthas640 Theoretically if you can reflect the merits of each reference in your design, then this design will undoubtedly be excellent. At the end of the last century China was already one of the world's top10 industrial countries, they became an industrial country in the 1960s because of Soviet aid, if some technology if they could be purchased by them, it would be easy for them to master and further develop, please note that I said purchase, 60s in last century China and the Soviet Union were at war, NATO actually provided a lot of technology, technology stealing is just the main means of media hype to attack China in recent years, I don't believe Chinese intelligence department is so strong, just like the CIA can be so weak. Today China's STEM capabilities are well known among today's industry practitioners, i'd say they have long been able to make decent products on their own

yeah

And dangerous as well

That would certainly be a good idea, but a system akin to the T-90M’s would be much easier to implement on a future Type 99 upgrade, which is “reportedly” in development, although don’t believe everything you hear!

I think they will use the vt5 light tank's turret bustle autoloader on type 99s in future. you know China is observing the things happening in Ukraine where Russian tank turrets are flying high.

@@Adk6954r4 yea, not a fan of the country's policies but their vehicle design is a really interesting mixture of eastern and western style

They chose Russian 2A42 in the 1990s, that is the only reason they use carousel. You can search PTZ-89 or ZTQ-15 , Chinese use urret bustle style autoloader for their own 120mm cannon or L7.

Sexist looking t72 in my opinion.

@@aksmex2576 T-80BVM

They make the best pop-off turrets

Deflection is a non issue for modern ammo types. Chemical rounds would just explode as normal and be neutralized by the ERA. Kinetic rounds don't deflect like that, they shatter and break. The shafts of modern APFSDS rounds are so rigid and under so much stress at the moment of impact that if they fail to penetrate they quite literally shatter. So either the round acts as normal and it's a kill or the armor package stops it. In modern combat there is basically nothing in-between.

@@LSgaming201 But why even have that "wedge" in the first place?

@@user-uy1rg8td1v So the turret doesn't hit the drivers hatch. Also so the turret can rotate while the drivers hatch is open.

that is only the outer layer ERA, emm. the NERAs and the base armor tilt backwards, just like what you can see on ZTZ-99 prototype or ZTZ-96.

Your wish came true, say hello to 4.0 and 5.0.

I support this idea. 👏

The Arjun is a horrible tank. India does not like it.

and all the other tanks in the world as well in this scenario

as a chinese i can confirm im also russian as well

I really dont get what there is to enjoy, but then again im not grinding them. I dont see the point because i have already played most of the things in the tree

@@blacklynx24 low height, decent turret protection, decent gun and unique look. But yep, I am not grinding it because I don't want to play us and russian vehicle at all.

lol,china tank in war thunder ,lol

Maybe not with that hardkill system. Also maybe there's an upgrade, armor over the ammo, blowout pannels inbetween the tracks and an armored door that opens when reloading, both pieces of armor able to withstand the fire and stuff.

Never were like that lol

Thinking back to ww1 they were never meant to take the role as a leading part of the army, they were moreso meant to break the line for the rest of the army to move through

It’s Gen 2, pretty sure it’s either the Type 15 or VT5 that has Gen 3, probably the Type 15.

VT5 is just export type 15@@iterationfackshet1990

That video would be the shortest video ever with title "Worst tank ever made"

China is so laughably shameless about stealing anything that isn't nailed down while simultaneously pretending to be a self made nation. They're kind of like those millionaires who claim to be self made despite getting a $10mil loan from their parents to start a company, screwing over their partners, and then seizing control of the company and taking all the credit. Their rifles, other small arms, artillery, tanks, and aircraft are all based off Russia or Soviet designs, their recent aircraft carrier is literally Soviet scrap they rebuilt using Russian tech, most of their radar, computers, stealth tech, and aircraft use stolen American technology, and even most of their military training, tactics, and doctrine is based off stolen western ideas combined with outdated soviet ones they're starting to replace. You know when _Russia_ and the _Soviets_ are pissed you've ripped off their tech that you've got a serious problem. China hasn't had a serious self made military since the 18th century, first they imported French and German weapons, got German and British officers to train their men, then imported Soviet equipment and Soviet trainers and experts, and now they're devoting their entire economy and intelligence network to stealing from every country on earth. If they had to develop their own weapons and technology they'd be like North Korea: 50 years behind the rest of the planet and relying on human wave tactics to solve every problem.

@@arthas640 I mean it works right? Who cares if the tank you are using is built with foreign tech, it works. And the outdated tactics worked ok with Korea and India, not so much with vietnam. Military seeks to be on par with their competition. And it is not like other nations just magically developed technology that happens to look the same, it is just because china started the arms race much later that they have a lot of bad examples to not learn. By the way a lot of so called "stolen" tech are pretty legal, weapons like the L7 105, 35mm oerlikon, and various tech was imported during the 80s. They are trying to build an army, not an essay.

There are a lot of nations that reverse engineer other's equipment.

@@gryph01 pretty much all of them probably. There is a difference between reverse engineering to see what your competition has and reverse engineering in order to make a copy.

@@randyhavard6084 Having worked in industry, particularly in manufacturing parts for diesel engines, I can tell you that it happens there. At one time, I made parts for DDC, Cummins and Caterpillar at the same time. I know for a fact that each company buys engines from their competitors and RE them. If they see something they like, they incorporate it into the next generation... as long as it does not violate patents. China is playing catch up on technology. But do not think that all they do is copy. China graduates more STEM students annually than the U.S. Their engineering knowledge is growing rapidly. Since they are a closed society, they may not be willing to share their research openly. Food for thought.

Same in Japanese

So it would be Mark99 ? I can imagine that that might be the case if the designation was literally translated but Mark is usually only used when its a different version of the same machinery so the translation could be correct from the word but not from the meaning because there are big differences between this tank and earlier versions let alome that this is clearly not the 99th version of this tank. If they did an upgraded or changed version it could be the Type 99 Mark 2 for example

@@l.h.9747 You misunderstand the Mark designation logic, it's not the 99th iteration of a tank, that'd be M1a99. The M99 means it's the 99th tank platform adopted. Better example is with US rifles, the M1 Garand is the first rifle in the Make designation system

@@bruni5289 i would agree with you but the Type99 isnt the 99th tank platform adopted but because it was presented in 1999

@@l.h.9747 My explanation was a guess as to the method of their system, I thought it was more like the modern American system but apparently not. It's still the same logic, just with the date instead. For example, the US rifle M1917 which was adopted for second line service in 1917

Yeah A2 designation is completely false. No such version only ZTZ99A

I’ve not looked much into Armored Warfare, but if they list a Type 99, Type 99A AND Type 99A2, then yes they have a fake tank. If they’ve only got the two variants though, then they’re just using the wrong name... kind of like “Type 98”, which was never used officially

@@ArmorCast YEP the tier 8 is the 99, tier 9 is the 99A and the tier 10 is the 99A2 lol

it's soo funny because the description of the 99A2 acknowledges there is no such thing as the 99A1 and 99A2 yet the tank is still in the game hahaha

The answer is right before your eyes. The last war China fought was 40 years ago.

You missed the part where improving sino-american relations meant that the west had shared many technologies with China. If it wasn't for China's financial problems back then, the army would be likely fielding Leopard 2s

The cause of detonation is directly correlated to the extra ammo stored around the tank. Challenger does the same thing, it's why modern Russian tanks ONLY use the auto loader.
