cata Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Just curios, anyone talking or thinking about PLA units? Somehow seems that in 2021 this would be getting more attention, not to mention the size of the market. As the PLA starts to home in on standardized combined arms brigades we can round out the main players, im just going to list a number of most likely units just to throw it out there: Heavy / Amphib CAB: ZTZ-99A ZTZ-96 ZTZ-15 ZBD-04 ZBD-05 ZTD-05 Medium CAB: ZBL-09 ZBD-09 (105) LIGHT CAB: CSK-181 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted August 12, 2021 Members Share Posted August 12, 2021 Well, their arsenal is sizable, so adding just one or two tanks won't cut it. Which is why we have put the whole topic on the back burner. Like Turkey. Pakistan, India, North Korea. At the end of the day, our digital motorpool (less the museum pieces) reflects the demand from our military customers, and I think that all of them are mindful of the classic advice to never start a land war in Asia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse 31 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) I'd be ok with more PLA skins (not skin mods*) for vehicles in game without actually having new vehicles. *Nobody downloads mods so it would look weird when you used a vehicle without a PLA skin.

TankHunter Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Which ones need PLA skins? I seem to recall that there are a rather large number of PLA skins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sim does come complete with 17 PLA vehicle skins, which covers a lot of possible proxies. But I'm guessing the point here was to ask for more to be included in the stock installation -- maybe for some of the newer vehicles? -- because apparently "nobody" can be bothered to download and install separate mods, like those offered by @cata. There's truth to this. Maybe not "nobody", but two or three dozen seems to be the typical download interest in vehicle and infantry skins. Present company excluded, I don't think 'most' players really care what skin or markings SB's troops and vehicles have. And I suppose with thermal optics and long engagement ranges it doesn't really matter anyway. So I'm not sure how it would be "weird" to not have a skin for some odd PLA variant. Skins are only seen on the user's frontend, and if that user is really bothered by an anachronistic skin, he/she will download a mod, if available. Enter cata. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngel Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I made the PLA textures in game. What is it that is missing?. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MO MO Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I think we should pay more attention to foreign trade tanks MBT2000（Pakistan） VT-5 VT-4（Thailand） Image and text irrelevant 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parachuteprone Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I'd be happy with 1 tank, 1 APC and maybe 1 ATGM vehicle . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parachuteprone Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Or even just 1 tank. The BMP isn't too far off for an APC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki765 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Steel beast also has players in China (including me). I hope to add Chinese tanks and armored vehicles in the game in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted August 15, 2021 Members Share Posted August 15, 2021 Like I wrote, it's a wide field. At the same time our current focus is on purring the whole software architecture of SB Pro on a reliable high performance foundation for the coming decades. Once done, adding new systems will become a priority again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hope to add PLA armored vehicles to the steel beast as soon as possible, since Challenger 2 is not suitable for playing ZTZ99A There are also early vehicles available, such as Type79, ZTZ88A/88B/88C, 85IIAP, YW531, ZTL92/92A, which are good armored vehicles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valleyboy Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Nice photo assets from China. They sure do turn up the saturation levels and sharpening in Lightroom or Photoshop though... Those blues and greens look a little too blue and green, know what I mean? Same for some of the definition.
