+As part of the composition of the ZBD04 and 04A's turret system, ZPL04 (ZPL04式100毫米滑膛炮) is the licensed variant of 100 mm [[2A70 (100 mm)|2A70]] from the introduction of 2K23 turret systems alongside with its [[ZPL02 (30 mm)|30 mm autocannon]]; thanks to the domestic improvements on FCS and autoloader, players can enjoy a more reliable gun system while having sufficient protection to survive non-fatal blows more often.

+[[2A70 (100 mm)|2A70]] - its Russian cousin, shares mostly identical performance but having access to more advanced ATGM; rate of fire varied vastly by autoloader depending to vehicle.

-''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.''
+The overall tactics and specifications of ZPL04 is mostly identical to 2A70; but this time with consistent 4 second reload for any ammunition. This also means much better flexibility than BMP-3 without having to stop for half-a-minute to reload missiles for MBTs, although engaging MBTs up front is asking for quick demise, the upgraded protection in some cases can save the turret crews and the more advanced FCS also ensures quick acquisition of enemy targets. Leave the HEFS for light vehicles or other fellow IFVs unless all 8 missiles has depleted, then aim for MBT's road wheels or optics for maximum possibility to take down enemies.
