Quick question: where can I find information on squad level tactics for PLAA?
To be honest, based on what I have seen, there really isn't much info on it. However, simultaneously, one can tell that they are definitely influenced by US/Western infantry tactics and formations

the wiki article for HQ16 lists the PLA having "200+". Does this number mean the number of batteries? or number of launchers? it's definitely NOT number of individual missiles.

Does anyone know what L and T letters stand for in pinyin when referred to ZPL and ZPT tank/IFV cannons respectively? My best guess is they mean rifled or smoothbore barrels yet I'm not sure...

does anyone have a clearer picture of the ID patch worn on the chest by some PLA soldiers?

How advanced is the Type99A FCS? Does it have tracking of moving targets? See 8:00 of the video

Also The FOV? A wider FOV is preferred for better situational awareness

It is potentially only matched by the most recent western tanks. On top of that 99A also has some type of image recognition, the APS uses it to search for targets. Whether it actually highlights them up with boxes for the gunner like how Lancets have is debatable, but the basic image recognition is there at least.

The best demonstration of PLA tank FCS is probably this video:

It's very dated (9yrs old) and features the old 96A. But the difference between the Russian T72B3 (which is still used as a workhorse in the current war) and the 96A, an advanced evolution of the Type 59, is very poignant.

This is relating to functionality of the forum.

I'm doing research for an upcoming video game. Is there a way to download all images in a thread? Or is the only way to manually go page by page and download them?
