The gun caliber is said to be 25mm, most likely be either the ZSD89/90's 25mm or a licensed copy of the American Bushmaster 25mm which was once considered for the Type 86A. The Type 86A's 30mm 2A72-derived autocannon is also a possibility. From the pictures, it could be seen that their water jet propulsion systems have been removed.

Teslashark 73 Report post Posted October 30, 2019 Apparently, there are more units made - 705 and 707 are spotted in some promotion events by nationalized real estate developer Poly Group.

tiger7742 260 Report post Posted September 3, 2020 This would be a rather cool add to the game, but I'm not sure what tier should it be at. It has one auto cannon and one auto cannon only, which means that it would be hard to fight other tanks, unlike the BMP 2 that has a ATGM launcher.

Interesting conversion though, kind of reminds me of a Type 86G without an ATGM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
