The tank itself also weighs more than 50 tons, which approaches the weight of the Leopard 2A4 and M1 Abrams. Although it has a sizeable 1200 horsepower NORINCO Shaanxi Diesel 12V150HB diesel engine, which is comparable to the T-80U's 1,250 hp gas turbine engine and among the most powerful Eastern Blog diesel engines. The ZTZ99-III's mobility is still below average for a top rank vehicle. The ZTZ99-III does not have the capability to spoof ATGMs like the T-90A. Remember that ERA is destroyed upon absorbing fire and the composite armour alone does not have sufficient protection for a top-tier vehicle.ДЄs a last note, the GL-7 laser dazzler is physically modeled on the left side of the turret roof as a laser rangefinder, but its countermeasuring capabilities are not implemented. Putting some bushes near the driver's hatch or gun mantlet might help. It's best to stay at long range and utilize the ZTZ99-III's low profile in conjunction with cover to make it difficult for enemies to hit the weak spots. The ZTZ99-III's armour protection has enough gaps that it can be considered 'trolly' as opposed to 'well-protected', but the areas that are well-protected are very strong. Successful hits to the side will usually total the tank, either detonating the ammo racks or knocking out the turret crew. The ZTZ99-III does not have any ERA on the hull sides and the base hull side armour of 50 mm is thinner than Soviet MBTs, so be careful of IFVs with autocannons. Thanks for the redesign of the new turret, the ZTZ99-III eliminated the bulged, cast part of the turret and thus increasing the survivability of the turret crew it might still be penetrated by some shells but those are in rare cases.

There is a cutout in the ERA array on the left cheek to allow the driver to enter and exit the tank that reduces the protection there.

The gun mantlet area has no composite armour and penetrating shots will usually take out the gun breech and possibly a crew member. The turret has its fair share of weak spots as well. Some small portions of the upper glacis are not covered by ERA either. The upper glacis composite armour is modeled with a large cutout for the driver's optics, as on the Soviet T-64/72 series, and even the FY-4 ERA there is not enough to save it from powerful APFSDS.

Penetrating shots there have a large chance of detonating the ammo in the autoloader and destroying the tank. First, the lower glacis has no composite armour or ERA whatsoever and can be penetrated by practically anything, and it also is proportionally larger than on Soviet MBTs. There are plenty of weak spots on the hull. Interestingly, the ERA is resistant to tandem-charge warheads, which allows it to withstand ATGMs that other ERA equipped vehicles can't. Unfortunately, these areas are limited to the turret cheeks and lower portion of the upper glacis.

Composite armour is present on the turret cheeks and on the upper glacis it is unremarkable by itself, but the areas with full coverage of both composite armour and FY-4 ERA are even capable of resisting the Leopard 2A6's DM53 APFSDS.

Like the T-80U, the ZTZ99-III continues to use both composite armour and advanced ERA with kinetic protection. But unfortunately, some flaws still existed in Stage III. The major difference between the ZTZ99-II and III is the placement of ERA blocks up the front and side of the turret, where a wave board is presented on Stage III's UFP to deflect water waves in case for river crossing operations the turret is also redesigned into a welded one, eliminating the bulged part of the turret and thus increasing the survivability of the turret crew.
