I have noticed that the Chinese ZTZ-99/Type 99 lags somewhat behind the times in-game, in terms of fire control and possibly ERA/APS. More specifically, I am talking about the ZTZ-99A1 and ZTZ-99A2.

Public sites such as sinodefence, army-technology or armyrecognition mention fire control improvements both for the A1 and A2. A1 is mentioned to possess some kind of ERA while A2 is mentioned to have an Active Protection System. What specialized sites like Jane's have to say about this, I do not now, I don't have a subscription.

Still,it stands out that a Fire Control value of 40 remains constant between ZTZ-99,ZTZ-99A1 and ZTZ-99A2. This is contrasted by the improvement of the armor scheme, as does the improvement of the main gun's penetration.

Would it be over-estimating the capabilities of the ZTZ-99A1 and A2 if I were to propose the standard FC improvement increment of 5 between eras? 45 for A1, 50 for A2?

Also, would ERA on A1 and A2 and an APS on A2 merit a good look, or is it just hype without base?

I wouldn't mind seeing such a change. As it is, the top Chinese MBTs are way too expensive and provide too little. IMO it would be better to either increase the capabilities/stats of them or decrease the price. I can't see how Chinese tanks can be so much more expensive than (I think) all their Western counterparts.
