Can anybody tell me why this type 99 looks soooooo sexy

[Juice]

A Leopard may be "sexy" this looks like a Yugo ....

I am not an expert on this topic but my guess would is that either you have a thing for hardware or it could be the long nozzle in semi erect position.

Whats wrong with this guy then ?

Mind expanding on that?

Russian design philosophy,t-90 and t-84 oplot.
This is the base composite armour.Over which ERA would be placed.
T-90A/S and T-84M Oplot turrets, the same principle of hiding the weak side turret armor, behind strong frontal armor, within vehicle frontal 60-70 degrees arc.
As a comparision, western tanks have thick side turret armor to achieve desired protection levels within their frontal arc.

The higher right image clearly shows that edges and turret side are vulnerable from front slant shots,because they are not covered or hidden behind frontal armour arc as in russian design philospohy nor have extensive side armour like western MBts.

Lower right image-Red area is the one with base composite armour on chinese mbt and black colour base composite armour on russian design.Shows that despite bigger turret,chinese design philosophy offers lesser composite armour on frontal arc base armour.Base frontal composite armour in rusian design is thicker and guards the rear and turret sides well.
Now both sides add modular composite array[for chinese] and Heavy ERA ARC [for russian] over base armour.

The higher left armour pic shows question mark on frontal bolted armour.

Difference with t-90.NO vulnerability to slant shots,well covered by frontal arc.

Weakzones in type-99.Terribly vulnerable to angle shots.

More design flaws in chinese turret,exposed large sloped roof.Completely vulnerable to straight shots or even pesky old rpgs.
This design flaw is a result of copycat chinese designer trying to blend in both t-72 design with western design in one tank without understanding completely the design philiosophy,result is a tank that is bigger and has more volume but offers no increase in protection.
NOTE:This last flaw has been somewhat rectified in latest models of type 99,though is still present in earlier models of type 99 and the standard type 96 MBt of PLA.

Current Al khalid's turret has same weaknesses as type 99 as it is a chinese design philiosophy product,its vulnerable to slant slots as frontal arc doesn't cover angles.
It has exposed gently sloped roof like in most chinese MBTs except latest models of ztz-99.
Its ERA coverage is also inconsistent,leaving areas on frontal arc exposed.
Probably expect PA to rectify most of these problems in al khalid 2.Except slant shot problem,for that you would have to ditch chinese design philiosophy altogether and either adopt western[usually results in large weight of mbt] or russian design philiosophy.

Al khalid's current strengths are excellent mobility,electronics,CMS,hunter killer tracker and thermal viewers all of which give superb accuracy and firepower.Plus mobility.
Its armour design suffers from inherent flaws derived from its chinese origin.

the pics i posted are of AK 2 !

 

[AUSTERLITZ]

the pics i posted are of AK 2 !

I doubt that.Probably al khalid-1.Not the base al khalid.Still turret seems exactly same as chinese design,no chnage.Thats not AK 2 i think.AK2 hasn't been revealed.Probably around 2015.
