<p>U8477849: /* Pros and cons */</p> <hr /> <div>== Description ==<br /> &lt;!-- ''Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.'' --&gt;<br /> The ZPT-98 is a 125 mm Chinese tank cannon equipped on its top tier MBTs. It fires the same ammo as the earlier [[Type 88C (125 mm)|Type 88C]] cannon, and gets access to an improved APFSDS round.<br /> <br /> === Vehicles equipped with this weapon ===<br /> &lt;!-- ''List out vehicles that are equipped with the weapon.'' --&gt;<br /> <br /> * {{Specs-Link|cn_ztz_99}}<br /> * {{Specs-Link|cn_ztz_99_w}}<br /> <br /> == General info ==<br /> ''Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.''<br /> <br /> === Available ammunition ===<br /> &lt;!-- ''Describe the shells that are available for the weapon and their features and purpose. If it concerns autocannons or machine guns, write about different ammo belts and what is inside (which types of shells).'' --&gt;<br /> <br /> * '''DTP-125''': HEATFS; stock round that can easily kill light tanks, but is not very effective against composite armour and ERA.<br /> * '''DTB-125''': HE; high-explosive round with a large explosive filler, it can take out many tanks in a single shot by hitting roofs with overpressure and is great at damaging tracks and barrels.<br /> * '''125-I''': APFSDS; armour-piercing dart with a good penetration for use against composite armour and ERA.<br /> * '''DTC10-125''': APFSDS; improved armour-piercing dart with higher penetration.<br /> * '''GP125''': ATGM (tandem)<br /> * '''DTB12-125''': HE-VT*<br /> <br /> {{:ZPT98 (125 mm)/Ammunition|DTP-125, DTB-125, 125-I, DTC10-125, GP125, DTB12-125}}<br /> <br /> === Comparison with analogues ===<br /> &lt;!-- ''Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.'' --&gt;<br /> <br /> * [[2A46M-1 (125 mm)|2A46M-1]] and [[2A46M-5 (125_mm)|2A46M-5]] - Similar Soviet/Russian cannons with similar performance that also have access to ATGMs.<br /> <br /> == Usage in battles ==<br /> &lt;!-- ''Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable opponents. Please don't write a &quot;guide&quot; - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.'' --&gt;<br /> Since the gun was based on the earlier [[Type 88C (125 mm)|Type 88C]] cannon, players of the Soviet and Chinese tech trees might find themselves at ease using the ZPT98 cannon, as they share many traits and flaws. It has overall higher velocity and access to HEATFS, as well as slow (albeit still faster than the former) traverse speed and subpar reload compared to NATO manually reloaded guns. Its velocity and penetration help players knock out most of the targets it may face thanks to the 125-I and the later DTW-125 APFSDS. DTB-125 HE is also worth mentioning with its explosive mass and penetration which can make enemies be extra cautious to not get overpressurized by this shell. Overall the gun is very similar, if not the same as later 2A46 guns found on many Soviet/Russian tanks, and the playstyle should be similar as well.<br /> <br /> === Pros and cons ===<br /> &lt;!-- ''Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.'' --&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Pros:'''<br /> <br /> * Access to 2 high penetration APFSDS shells<br /> * HE shell has the highest explosive mass of all MBTs<br /> * Autoloaded<br /> <br /> '''Cons:'''<br /> <br /> * Stock HEATFS round struggles against other MBTs<br /> * Long reload of 7.1 seconds<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> &lt;!-- ''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 &quot;/History&quot; (example: &lt;nowiki&gt;https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History&lt;/nowiki&gt;) and add a link to it here using the &lt;code&gt;main&lt;/code&gt; template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;ref&gt;&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;, as well as adding them at the end of the article with &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;references /&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;.'' --&gt;<br /> <br /> With the success in making a new 125 mm gun for future PLAGF MBTs, NORINCO decided to take a step further and lengthen the previous [[Type 88C (125 mm)|Type 88C]] from 48 calibres to 50 calibres, further enhancing its anti-tank capabilities with new munitions like advanced APFSDS and possibly tube-launched ATGMs.<br /> <br /> The new gun then came into commission with &quot;Project 9910&quot; aka Type 98 as stated by the USDoD; later modifications of ZTZ99s based on the Project 9910, as well as the latest ZTZ99A also saw the use of the same gun, serving as the spearhead weapon of PLAGF elite armoured units.<br /> <br /> == Media ==<br /> ''Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.''<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> ''Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:''<br /> <br /> * ''reference to the article about the variant of the cannon/machine gun;''<br /> * ''references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.''<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> ''Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:''<br /> <br /> * ''topic on the official game forum;''<br /> * ''other literature.''<br /> <br /> {{China tank cannons}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Tank cannons]]</div>

Originally, seven ships of the class were planned to be constructed, three of which were ordered and laid down right away. However, the German occupation of the Netherlands in 1940 abruptly ended the construction of the already laid down ships, with pending orders for the remaining ships getting cancelled. Following the occupation, all three uncompleted warships were captured after falling into German hands.<br /> <br /> The Kriegsmarine decided to continue construction and to complete all three of the captured warships for use in the German war effort. Thus, the K-1, K-2 and K-3 were all subsequently completed by 1940/41 and were put into commision with the German navy by 1942. The three gunboats primarily saw service in Norwegian and German waters, performing patrols and other low-profile missions. K-1, the lead ship of the class, was sunk right at the end of WW2 in 1945 off the coast of Denmark. The К-2’s back of the deck was damaged by a torpedo during another air attack of the allies. The vessel had been towed back to Germany but was never repaired till the end of the war. After the war she was towed to the Netherlands where it sunk for unknown reasons, it was raised from the seabed and scrapped in 1946.K-3 was the sole survivor of the class, being recommissioned into Dutch service after WW2 under the name “Van Speijk”. K-3 remained in Dutch service until 1960, after which she was sold for scrap.<br /> <br /> ''- From [https://warthunder.com/en/news/5612-fleet-development-kanonenboot-k-2-the-dutch-conscript-en Devblog]''<br /> <br /> == Media ==<br /> ''An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.''<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> ''Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:''<br /> <br /> * ''reference to the series of the ship;''<br /> * ''links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.''<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> &lt;!--''Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:''<br /> * ''topic on the official game forum;''<br /> * ''encyclopedia page on ship;''<br /> * ''other literature.''--&gt;<br /> <br /> * [https://warthunder.com/en/news/5612-fleet-development-kanonenboot-k-2-the-dutch-conscript-en [Devblog&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt; Kanonenboot K-2: The Dutch Conscript]<br /> <br /> {{Germany boats}}</div>

Originally, seven ships of the class were planned to be constructed, three of which were ordered and laid down right away. However, the German occupation of the Netherlands in 1940 abruptly ended the construction of the already laid down ships, with pending orders for the remaining ships getting cancelled. Following the occupation, all three uncompleted warships were captured after falling into German hands.<br /> <br /> The Kriegsmarine decided to continue construction and to complete all three of the captured warships for use in the German war effort. Thus, the K-1, K-2 and K-3 were all subsequently completed by 1940/41 and were put into commision with the German navy by 1942. The three gunboats primarily saw service in Norwegian and German waters, performing patrols and other low-profile missions. K-1, the lead ship of the class, was sunk right at the end of WW2 in 1945 off the coast of Denmark. The К-2’s back of the deck was damaged by a torpedo during another air attack of the allies. The vessel had been towed back to Germany but was never repaired till the end of the war. After the war she was towed to the Netherlands where it sunk for unknown reasons, it was raised from the seabed and scrapped in 1946.K-3 was the sole survivor of the class, being recommissioned into Dutch service after WW2 under the name “Van Speijk”. K-3 remained in Dutch service until 1960, after which she was sold for scrap.<br /> <br /> ''- From [https://warthunder.com/en/news/5612-fleet-development-kanonenboot-k-2-the-dutch-conscript-en Devblog]''<br /> <br /> == Media ==<br /> ''An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.''<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> ''Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:''<br /> <br /> * ''reference to the series of the ship;''<br /> * ''links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.''<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> &lt;!--''Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:''<br /> * ''topic on the official game forum;''<br /> * ''encyclopedia page on ship;''<br /> * ''other literature.''--&gt;<br /> <br /> * [https://warthunder.com/en/news/5612-fleet-development-kanonenboot-k-2-the-dutch-conscript-en [Devblog&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt; Kanonenboot K-2: The Dutch Conscript]<br /> <br /> {{Germany boats}}</div>
