Daily reminder that Chinkshit is garbage fueled by corruption and State-run propaganda and online, wumao $.50 Shills.
How the fuck do the Chinese manage any foreign sales?
>>31003389
They sell very simple items and ripoffs originally created by others. The rest is just Bribery.
Anything that they have originally designed is always pure and utter shit. Planes, tanks, ships, subs, missiles, etc.
>T-72 hits something and not only breaks the idler wheel but cracks open the hull
Accidents happen.
>ZTZ-96 hits something and loses a roadwheel
HAHA FUCKING CHINKSHIT!!!
>>31003454
It didn't hit something it just went over basic road bumps. If it hit something really that hard the whole thing would crumple like paper.
>>31003479
The road bumps were what made the roadwheel finally give, that T-72's idler wheel didn't fall off right away either.
>>31003454
Losing roadwheels due to the terrain is not something that should be happening to a tank.
>>31003479
>>31003541
We had this thread yesterday,
Going ~50mph climbing ledges, hitting bumps, doing sicc skids, and catching some air will eventually cause some damage
It shouldn't have fallen but it still functioned and went pretty fast. They managed 2nd place without it.
>>31003454
Here's a shocker:
We think both are shitty
>>31003900
It functioned for all of a few seconds after the trial.
Doesn't mean it isn't wasn't going to have a catastrophic failure or slip a tread entirely minutes later.
>>31003378
To be fair, all 4 tanks competing broke in some way during that final phase.
>>31003928
>We think both are shitty
>We
Chinese themselves are pretty chill about it.
After all, the T-72s all broke down repeatedly and were switched out as well. And they still did 2nd place.

Tank Biathlon 2015:
While the Chinese tank only lost a idler wheel, the T-72B3 then lost a critical sprocket wheel.
A tank losing an idler still can run, but a lost spocket will immobilize it.
Which is what happened with the T-72
Save this pic for future anti-troll BTFO solutions.
>>31003881
It is if the roadwheel was previously damaged from hitting something.
>>31004243
>>31004253
Throwing a track is a tried and true hobby of pretty much every tank since the British Mark I tank.
Breaking off an idler wheel is testament to shitty manufacturing.
>>31004385
Throwing off tracks over flat terrain with little speed is still testament of the failure of the Japanese manufacturing, which is more meme than reality.

The J-10A of 1998 was already equal.
F-2 still has the shittiest 1st gen AESA ever developed, putting its range below that of a 70's twisted cassegrain made by the USSR.
>>31004522
More Japan quality (which is, in extension, American quality since the Japs are totally dependent on the US for everything).

No, it wasn't. And that is not even addressing Chinese engine issue.

Do you want to imply that the Japanese had any own engines back then? F-110 by GE.
The J-10A uses the specially modified AL-31FN.
And the range of the Type 1473H pulse doppler with its initially 120km range (now 160km) is still better than the J/APG-1 (kek, Japs have to put a "J" into every shit they have, what self important wankers) with its 30km range.

>>31003454
To be fair to the slavshit, the tanks the Russians use at the event are upgraded versions of very, very old T-72s (they wouldn't even be equipped to combat brigades) and probably have taken a beating over 30+ years of service.
Why are China threads always filled with baittastic posts?
Half the posts are just accusing each other of shilling
why?
>>31004637
China's rise rustles quite a few jimmies.
People simple cant talk objectively about China.
Imagine that kid in school everyone considered to be a gay faggot, was bad at everything and was the casual daily bully target #1?
Imagine if he lifts weight and got swole, suudently gets straight A in everything but ethics and religions classes, and openly declines any hastily sent out invitation of his former bullies who now want to have him in their circles and clubs, so that they can feel reassured that the old 'newcomer' isnt going to get his revenge?
Problem is, he is out to get his revenge. And no amount of sweet words will sway him in his path. That bullied kid is now an edgy would-be school-schooter and he has, over the years, assembled an impressive arsenal of weapons and ammunition, reaches out to other bully victims to join him and does everything to undermine the previous pecking order of that school.
Now you know why you cant talk about China.
China is an existencial threat to the old bullies who fear for their lives.

Just like how the J-20's IRST can pick up a F-22 at more than 150km.
>>31004695
this is a dumb post
China-posters please go away
Like the edgy teenager you describe, china's bizzare complexes that it developed due to it's strange political choices, made in the 1940s through 1980s made it politically isolate itself from anybody.
China's choice to not follow the rest of the world into modernity until very late in the game was not a western betrayal, it was poor leadership. This is straight up anti-western propaganda.

You might want to look at what happened during the century before 1940 before you say anything about western betrayal.
>>31004243
Throwing a track is not even remotely comparable to an entire fucking road wheel shearing off the hull. Tanks throw tracks all the time. Road wheels don't fall off unless the tank is shoddily built.
>>31003378

because the windows are made of rice paper.
whats better

>>31004317
China used serial Type-96 and they had troubles with tracks (quality control). That T-72 also was serial. Russian team useв then and uses now custom T-72B4 model, it can be called T-72B3M. In this year China had custom Type-96 too, Biathlon version. More powerful engine, e.t.c. That's the thing - not serial tank broke, custom tank for biathlon broke on biathlon.
Anyway, I don't really think, that overweight Western tanks will be able to compete with light East models in such competition.

Yep. They increased engine power to 1200-1300h.p., and looks like even more lowered roadwheels weight. And that's what they've got.

It's probably not a part of the main pressure hull and is designed to have equal pressure inside as the water does outside. It's probably not supposed to be occupied during underwater operation. Just speculating though.

>>31006011
I'm not sure how you got to your conclusion there.
I'm pointing out that the Chinese government has a pretty legitimate beef with the west from a historical standpoint. They've made loads of terribly bad decisions within the last few decades, but much of those decisions are shaped from the lessons they've experienced a century beforehand.
>>31007171
RAWNIN IN DA NINETIES!
>>31010972
The CCP didn't exist during the 'century of shame', hid from Japan's occupational army and largely erased traditional Chinese culture.
>>31011020
I'm not sure how the communists not existing has anything to do with the shit kicking China received during this time.
>>31011068
You are right, the CCP existed during the latter half of that time period.
The CCP used foreign intervention (it wasn't just the West) to its advantage, which makes it quite amusing to an outside viewer when the CCP uses the humiliation China suffered to validate their own existence.
>>31011429
I still don't follow your logic. Just because the CCP wasn't in power or wasn't existed doesn't mean that people who are part of the regime are somehow not Chinese and have no history?
>>31011576
>the Chinese government has a pretty legitimate beef with the west from a historical standpoint

It's pretty simple.

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're getting at, are you saying the communists came into power using the argument that western ideology is bad and that they were fighting against it? I guess I can sort of agree to that.
If not I'm don't know what you're trying to say, that the west somehow put the communists in power?
>>31003378
Everything i buy from China breaks too.
>>31007167
the fact that the tank went through the wall means it may have not been able to climb it
that's a problem for the tank

It's like you fucks have never actually worked with armored vehicles. Shit happens, hit breaks. I have seen an M1 Abrams sheer the outer drive sprocket off while drifting in the fort knox mud. Hard use and stuff will break it's just the way the world works.
>>31006161
I think the russians are using normal T-72B3 this year
and the new chinese tank was accepted for army service i.e. serial while the T-72B4 was not
>>31012203
>shear the outer drive sprocket off
The sprocket or its bolts? That's actually the result of reusing old bolts during sprocket maintenance; they're always supposed to use new ones. Old ones that have been loosened to replace a sprocket aren't within spec anymore and will shear.
>>31012203
s-stope ruining our circle jerk
>>31012203
I saw the same thing happen with a Leopard.
Leopards are some of the most irreliable tanks
that I have the misfortune to work, especially
those that are 20-years and above.
I don't see the most modern Chinese Tank, the
Type 99, taking part in this competition. So
yeah even the Title itself is a misnomer.
>>31012550
>Keep Jerking, Grunt
>>31012559
You don't need to spam newline so much.
>Leopards are some of the most unreliable tanks that I've ever had the misfortune to work on
Are you telling us that the Internet memes about the Leo being so much more dependable than the M1 aren't true?
>>31012559
I think that's more so that shit is just complicated as fuck. When you consider how big, fast, and complicated modern armor is and then factor in that they're probably not getting the maintenance that they need, plus after long enough shit just wears out, it's not surprise that stuff fails once in a while.
>>31012566
Yes, not sure about the newer models though,
never worked with any of them
The engine issues with the older ones (The
2A4s) however can fill a goddamn library.
I lost count how many breakdowns the Tanks had every deployment and had to be towed
back to base.
>>31012576
Could be.
I am pretty curious on whether the other MBTs (Challenger/Type 98/T72/M1A1/Merkava/Leclerc) had the same issues.
>>31003378
But everyone knows that the Type 99 is the current "new" Chinese tank.
>Thinking the Type 96 is new.
>>31012559
>>31012780
The 96 >B< is the latest Chinese MBT in a very literal sense. China also apparently intends to standardize on it, which makes this relevant.
>>31004243

>>31012852
>track tension is an inherent function of manufacturing quality
W-What.
>>31012907
why put money and effort into a vehicle you barely use? They rather use APCs and even use wheels on them.
>>31012549
the bolts sheared off and the sprocket itself also cracked so it could not be reused. Another tank had to be used to rescue it so we could get it unstuck enough to get the track off and replace the sprocket. This was back in '02 when I was there as a student.
>>31012928
Bolts shearing sounds pretty typical for reused bolts; the sprocket cracking could be a result of the violence of coming off afterwards, but that's still bad, yeah.
>>31012980
The way I figured was mud was building up between the track and road wheels and as the tank went into a turn (while accelerating) the lateral pressure combined with the track being stretched caused it to break lose one one side first, crack and bend slightly then shear off the rest. It was a real fun time trying to recover that bitch.
>>31013008
That's certainly possible. You were there to personally inspect the sprocket, so you're probably in a better position to judge what happened than I am. I was just offering an alternate (and probably too common) explanation.
Don't reuse your bolts, folks.
