Description
The PTP86 (86式100毫米滑膛反坦克炮) is a smoothbore anti-tank gun made by NORINCO based on the 115mm U-5TS found on T-62 and the later reverse-engineered PTP73 based on Soviet T-12.
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
General info
Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.
Available ammunition
PTP86 has quite some options for its ammunition: two types of APFSDS- the infamous 1-73-85 and the later DYW-PT-86, Type 83 HEATFS and a HE round for infantries.
Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.
Usage in battles
Since the gun used newer technologies, although PTP86 and Type 69 shared the same caliber and ammunition (notably, the 1-72-85 APFSDS) , at stock they might sound quite the same, but the higher chamber pressure of the former gun shines at its velocity, with the introduction of DYW-PT-86, it turned the gun into a nice sniper from range. But try to keep the gun away from hilly terrain, it doesn't have the required depression to go hull-down.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Stock access of APFSDS
- Powerful HEATFS
- DYW-PT-86 makes short work of enemies with its higher penetration.
Cons:
- Subpar reload time
- Horrible depression angle
History
In the 1970s, after encountering the Soviet Border Troops at Zenbao/Damansky Island and capturing a T-62 from them, PLAGF was in dire need of new cannons to handle the possible masses of Soviet armoured brigades assaulting Mainland China. From that T-62 they developed their own version of T-12 anti-tank gun - the PTP73 100 mm smoothbore AT gun, while the HEATFS was universal between all the 100mm guns found in Mainland China and came available at that time, this gun came with an underwhelming APFSDS with subpar penetration to many AT guns at the same era.
After the introduction of L7A3 from Austria under license, PLAGF also earned the technologies and alloys that was needed to forge a domestic L7 105mm rifled cannon, therefore they put that technology into good use and upgraded PTP73 with these innovations, thus having the PTP86 as a field towed gun to took down possible Soviet armoured brigades assaults.
Later when Factory 256 at Chongqing has developed the WZ551 wheeled APC for export back in 1987 and seeing the performance of NATO forces' wheeled assault gun in the Gulf War, PLAGF attempted to mount this very gun onto WZ551, turning it into PTL87 and PTL97 and eventually, the fruit of these two vehicles was the mass-produced PTL02, serving as a quick response vehicle for possible assaults on battlefield with extensive road network; with the introduction of tube-launched ATGMs and newer APFSDS in the late 2000s, this old gun can still serve its purpose on handling tanks while having the mobility to change position.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
