received 3 panels of ERA that were missing and DTC10-125 added to modules but uses the same stats as DTW-125

 

I'm just as impatient for changes but I'm not expecting anything substantial until 2nd Dev server iteration.

Yeah I now it can be impatient for other players including myself because I am too hyped up for this tank!

Do you have any images or sources of the "reliable public sources" for the charge/propellant claims? I looked over your post and didn't see anything besides "it's a reliable public source from mao ming's classes!" In order to get this "flame retardant, low cook off chance ammunition" bug reported you will need more information than that.

 

If you can provide those with translation I'll bug report it as soon as the dev server opens again so we can make sure the tank includes this as a feature on launch.

Unfortunately I'm not the one that did the research, and to be frank I myself never heard about this asides from the post, I simply translated the original post by @PLA19270801 into english.

 

I can contact him and ask him more abt this or just what information he based this claim on.

Nope. They took months after type 10 was released to correct many flaws. Just to name a few:
- They used the same model as type 90, only different skin.
- Mobility was terrible, and it should be good. (Spaded sometimes felt worse than Maus).

- Model problems. Turret cheeks, for example, should be rly good. They were easily penned. Suspension and tracks also modeled wrong.

 

There is a whole topic only about the problems with type 10.

 

I only hope Gaijin don't make the same mistake with 99A. China need more vehicles. But we need them well modeled and functional.

yeah...Type 10 upon launch was a mess and still is a mess, greatly underperforming and many other issues it still has. if i were you guys i wouldn't expect much from gaijin and would be ready to bug report.

Do you think the devs will remove the external fuel drum? It really really ruins the looks, I'm hoping they remove it just like the 96 and 99 series tank.

I hope so but for gun depression over the engine deck.

 

I like the look, though I'll take the practical advantages in War Thunders 99% street fighting map rotation.

 

 

edit: and Gaijin would probably model it where shooting them would cause the loss of the vehicle via Fuel Explosion

Would be great if you could do some digging before the patch goes live.

Hrm I would love to, however I'm afraid I won't have the time to do much of it right now. I'll get in touch with PLA19270801 and ask if he can provide some related sources.

The issue has been finally fixed of the crew members layout inside. We would probably see it in the second dev server! https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/ffZNhiQBSCq0?comment=Csr3LQHKBOnybkEQYDMPEPKr

Very  nice indeed. The drums were also removed apparently.

Ok thanks for letting me know !

As you know the devblog on ZTZ99A dropped today. It confirmed the massive mobility upgrade but no mention on the gun depression, it says

Quote

Unlike its protection and mobility, the ZTZ99A’s firepower however remains virtually unchanged from previous versions. The vehicle still features the familiar ZPT-98 125 mm smoothbore cannon as well as a coaxial 7.62 mm machine gun and a top-mounted high-caliber commander’s machine gun.

Anyone knows if the gun depression is still -5 ° ?

No Dtc shell? dang

[CakeJuniorMan 176]

Danm I wish it has a new one but thanks to the person who leaked it, which caused it either not being able to be added or not having as much penetration.

2nd Dev server opening today. We will see the changes.

Edited June 3, 2022 by IQuitAfter1Death

[jet_17_49 411]

Can someone dig through the files and check whether the in-game dimensions of the DTC10's penetrator align with the expected value of 634mm x 22mm?

Is this normal that the Hull armor from ZTZ99A is worse  than from ZTZ99-III?
