Description

The ZPT-98 is the latest Chinese tank cannon and is equipped in its top tier tanks. It fires the same ammo as the earlier Type 88C cannon, but gets access to an improved APFSDS round.

Vehicles equipped with this weapon

General info

Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.

Available ammunition

  • DTP-125: HEAT-FS - Stock round, can easily kill lighter tanks with overpressure, but is not very effective against composite and ERA.
  • DTB-125: HE - Heaviest HE round of all top tier tanks, can oneshot many tanks by hitting roofs and is great at taking out tracks and barrels.
  • 125-I: APFSDS - Same round used on the Type 88C, good penetration.
  • DTW-125: APFSDS - New for ZPT-98, high penetration, better than any Soviet ammo, should be the main round used.

Comparison with analogues

  • Soviet Union - 2A46M-5 - Has superior dart round, lacks any ATGMs

Usage in battles

Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.

Pros:

  • High Penetration for APFSDS
  • Best HE of all MBTs
  • Autoloaded

Cons:

  • Stock HEAT-FS struggles against other MBTs

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

See also

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:

  • reference to the article about the variant of the cannon/machine gun;
  • references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.

External links

Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:

  • topic on the official game forum;
  • encyclopedia page on the weapon;
  • other literature.
