There was a video of PCL-181 performing gun laying or basically doing horizontal firing which artillery units call gun laying I think in English.
The PCL-181 is like a super anti tank weapon in those cases with shells smashing into moving targets. It was an awesome video should have saved it maybe another member knows the one I'm talking about but usually the snippets are footages within 40min programs (1 hour with ads).
Basically PLA has moved to a lot of guided artillery and accuracy and adaptability to changes have gone up significantly. Artillery becomes much more flexible. Guided shells are super expensive but for anti-tanking they are useful and worth it. Just gun laying PCL-181 they can take out moving tanks at like 20km if geography allows and at slightly more elevated angles. Otherwise close range to within tank engagement ranges, even better. Top attack shells always best though for anti tanking.
Artillery since Korean war has been China's strong point and also a focus due to how much emphasis and love PLA Generals have for artillery. Since military reforms and catch up (to US, not just anyone), PLA never really lost that emphasis on artillery.
The change towards higher tech fighting just means artillery became expanded into ballistic missile field and then MaRV and now HGV. All are considered extensions of the idea of artillery for PLA doctrine which is destroying the enemy from long range.
I've written three - THREE - posts on this in the last few hours. Do take a look, before informing me that there are 900,000 Indian troops in the Vale. Or similar.
Are you really Chinese?
Yes I am Chinese. I am not a Pakistani false flag nor an Indian false flag although I understand how common that latter is here (and elsewhere on the internet).
Are you really Indian? I've never met a reasonable India who wasn't talking shit non stop and frothing at the mouth, quite unlike your written material here which is commendable and rather respectable compared to usual Indian material - Dee-Ef-I for example or WION comments and the rest of the spiel. You see your own implications turned on you?
the keyword in the post you quoted and highlighted is the word "some" ... in this case, Beast. One Chinese member who has actually been saying the truth at least how he understands it. The rest can sort of vouch and we do get where he is coming from. It's his manner of talking that others have problem with but that's him. It's also a Pakistani forum. Pakistani members talk their mouth off all the time with nonsense and arrogance beyond Beast (mind you with far less reason to be like that) and far fewer would question it. Again that's here and this is their area I guess. You should know what that's like. It isn't strange for Indian members to also be mistreated here.
As for fairness. I would say Indians Chinese Pakistanis whatever have their share who would act that way so there is no redemption of those behaviors because the country has been victim. Let's dismiss all Pakistan and Pakistanis as one type for the behavior of one. Let's judge all India for behavior of one member? No even here that doesn't happen lol. But with China, as soon as one member says something Pakistani members don't like, it's Chinese members are this that etc etc. Some Chinese members are sensitive, most Pakistani members also are same with Indians, Greeks, Russians, Turks, French, Americans. I guess that is something we all have in common then hahaha.
