== Description ==
''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.''

=== Vehicles equipped with this weapon ===


* {{Specs-Link|cn_ptl_02}}

== General info ==
''Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.''

=== Available ammunition ===
''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).''

=== Comparison with analogues ===
''Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.''

== 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.''

'''Cons:'''

== 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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template.

-In the 1970s, after encountering the Soviet Border Troops at Zenbao/Damansky Island and [[T-62 545 (China)|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 100 mm 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 of the same era.

 After the introduction of [[L7A3 (105 mm)|L7A3]] from Austria under license, PLAGF also earned the technologies and alloys needed to forge a domestic L7 105 mm 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 take down possible Soviet armoured brigades assaults.

-Since the gun used newer technologies, although PTP86 and [[Type 69 (100 mm)|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.

-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.
