Don are you thinking along the same lines that I am to avoid redundancy that maybe we have
2 Chinese variants
TYPE 08/09 APC (With 12.7mm MG) and
TYPE 08/09 IFV (With the turreted Chinese 30mm AC)?
We can do the same with the
VN-1 as well since the sites I've found for both, refer to the
export version of each as the
VN-1.
We did this with the
T-72B3/B4 and nobody's complained about that in the
intervening years since we included it in the game.
Just a thought and it might lessen the workload by a couple of "degrees" especially as I posted the differences between the 2 are inconsequential.
PAKISTAN: Has
only confirmed plans to induct the
VT-4.
From
JANE's, "No details were provided as to
when the tank will be officially inducted or how many
units have been (or will be) ordered." That puts this tank at
least a year out.

Another for the above Pakistan I believe I posted on but is in my MBT Folder is now inducted, the
Al-Khalid-I MBTs. Have tracking this and originally thought induction would during the
4th "calendar" Qtr. of this year or latest, 1st of 2021.

GERMANY: More on the
LEOPARD 2A7V with some "
projected" dates. The process has
already started on the conversions to the type. I'm looking at first unit
FOC in/by
OCT. 2021.
