Chinese Type 96 fails to impress in 2014 Tank Biathlon World Championship

Russia is using the latest version of T72B3, with a 1130 hp engine. New FCS, panoramic system, automatic gearbox... So yes they definitely have a huge advantage, when compared with the rest of the participants. Especially those with T72B, which doesn't even have a FCS in a full sense of a word, and engine is only 840hp. Chinese tank has a FCS on par with a T72B3, and 1000hp engine.

So we have:

T72B - 44.5t-840hp - 18.87hp/t
T72B3
- 46t-1130hp - 24.56hp/t
Type-96A
- 50t-1000hp - 20hp/t

So yes Type 96A is inferior to T72B3 in hp/t ratio, but it's clearly superior to T72B. And when we talk about FCS, only two tanks with a real FCS in this competion are T72B3 and Type-96A. Armenia, Kazakhstan and Russia had practically the same hit rate as Chinese team, and two of those countries are using inferior tanks.

Hit rate after the first part of the competition:

China - 77.77%
Armenia - 77.77%
Russia - 66.66%
Kazakhstan - 66.66%

Chinese team is simply put slow. Why are they so slow? I would say that their crews are not that good. Because on the paper Type-96A is clearly superior to T72B. And let's not forget that god FCS means a lot in this competition, because every miss, adds a penalty time.

I personally expected this to be one sided competition between China and Russia.

And now i cheer for Kazakhstan :D

And here are some nice pics from the sprint:

Unfortunately the T-72 with FCS moving like a turtle when shooting:omghaha:
I have corrected you for the engine power of type 96A but you used the wrong number on purpose. Anyway, Serbia is not our customer, and serve yourself with lie.

I used the data i found on Army Recognition and Military Today, and many other sites specialised for military data claimed the same. And yes i used that on purpose, because i can't be sure that what you said is true. For me you are just some Chinese guy on PD forum, and for you i am just some Serbian guy you dont know nothing about. But since other guys from China claimed the same about Type 96A engine power, i accept that i have been wrong.

Anyway, Serbia is not our customer, and serve yourself with lie.

Customer in what way?
 
the video is impressive, thanks for the competition, otherwise we fans wouldnt be able to see 96A awesome moves
