Improved Version of VT-4 MBT / MBT-3000

It appears a few design changes have been made to:
1) Headlights
2) Side skirts
3) Turret add-on armor now resembles that of Type-99
4) Grenade dispensers have been relocated
5) New Commander sight from Type-99A2
6) No remote weapons station on this version
7) Added a milli-wave ballistic radar for Active Self Defence System.
8) an Addition of some sort of (optical) sensor assembly atop the turret between the hatches
9) Re-designed undercarriage structure
10) Additional sensors assemblies can be seen in each turret frontal corner (Possibly cameras and/or milli-wave radars for active self-defense System?)
11) an Unknown sensor on the turret (highlighted with green box).

These are the differences I can spot. If you see more, please point them out.

Chinese Tanks are not looking cool, we could have design and make it look more ferocious and devastator. Personally I like better Israel tank's look

In actual battle, nobody gives a damn about how you look.

HAHA ... the quantity determines the war result, not good-looking.

PLA PLZ-05 155mm SPH training

近日，陆军第21集团军某炮兵旅训练场马达轰鸣，火炮驾驶员李文煦驾驭某新型自行火炮翻土岭、过弹坑，一个极限转弯后疾速冲向预定地域，再次刷新了该型自行火炮的驾驶记录。该旅副旅长陈保峰介绍说：“这是他们积极挖掘新装备极限性能，提升部队实战化训练水平带来的可喜成果。”

Don't underestimate the first impression that you will offer to Generals or soldiers that will operate the machines, ugly machine will have ugly consequence, in case of China, our soldiers just don't have the choice but to accept what our military industry can offer: let take an example and assuming the equal potential of Z-19 and Commanche, if Chinese pilot have the choice, which one they will pick up?

Take another example of the care, any car can transport from point A to point B but why people are look for nice cool look car?

PLA Army Aviation training

春天来了，正是人们出门踏青的大好时光，人们结伴到郊外游春赏景，边欣赏自然风光，边观赏名胜古迹，甚是惬意，那些整天与武器装备相伴的兵哥哥也“不甘寂寞”，这不，他们驾驶武装直升机来“踏”青了，想和兵哥哥一样在空中观赏春光吗？那就赶紧来参军啊，春光算什么，四季美景任你看。

This is the mentality of salesmen, not of soilders.

This is the mentality of salesmen, not of soilders.

it's not just a mentality of a salesman, it should be also a mandatory mentality of a designer to create the best looking design for their soldiers beside the functionality and performance: a cool looking design will sent a clear message to soldiers that our the newly weapons or machines are not only modernized but inspire fear to the enemy, the psychological factor is very important.
