Protection[]
Protection map of "ZTZ99A" at close range and neutral angle. Shooting from angles and longer distances may affect armor values. For reliable penetration at most angles aim for "<550mm". T62 (115 mm cannon) can only penetrate "<550mm".
Note how the front ammorack area is mostly covered by "ricochet". This makes the ZTZ99A one of the stronger tanks in-game, similar to the M1.

Gameplay[]
Gunner view[]
The gunner view has five Chinese character indicator lights at top, corresponding to the type of weapon selected. From left to right:
- 烟 (yān in Pinyin) is the smoke launcher.
- 破 (pò) is Armor-Piercing Sabot.
- 穿 (chuān) is High Explosive Anti-Tank.
- 榴 (líu) is High Explosive.
- 机 (jī) is the coaxial 5.8mm machine gun.
There is no indicator for the ATGM.
The zoomed-in reticle show three sets of bullet-drop compensation markings. The P set corresponds to pò, i.e. sabot. The C set corresponds to chuān, i.e. HEAT (probably works for HE too). The J set corrsponds to jī, i.e. machine gun.
At the bottom, there is a four-digit laser rangefinder display. The 首 and 末 (meaning "start" and "end") indicators dim when the range exceeds the rangefinder reach.
At the top there are two indicators. The red light on the left glows when the gun is ready to shoot. The green light dims when the round is reloading.
Commander view[]
The remote weapon station is relatively simple. At the bottom left, an inset rectangle shows the weapon's name and the distance to the target in meters. When zoomed in twice, a bullet-drop compensation line is visible.
