The previous generation "ZT-80" lacked the capability for true dynamic target engagement, and in static against dynamic scenarios, the hit rate was below 50%.
It was this relatively high hit rate that fundamentally changed the nature of tank-led armored warfare.
Additionally, the powerful night-fighting capability endowed by thermal imaging night vision devices enabled armored forces to launch assaults at night for the first time.
To be precise, it raised the bar for night warfare, making the night the home field for those with advanced technology.
In summary, it was the advancement of technology that led to a dramatic improvement in tank performance and, consequentially, a fundamental shift in armored tactics.
It was only after the introduction of the "ZT-99" that the Empire's armored forces began their transition to multifaceted precision.
Against this backdrop, the Army began to place greater emphasis on the Air Force, particularly armed helicopters.
