You'll see the 25mm version of the TYPE-09 if you scroll through the picture gallery from the same ref. I posted earlier and has since been noted. Or as I just checked the bottom 2 pictures on the right.
"This ZBL-09 has a crew of three and capacity to carry 7 to 10 troops."
http://www.military-today.com/apc/zbl_09.htm

The TYPE-08 which apparently proceeded the "09" by a year (2008) has what we might consider a "standard" looking 30mm Auto Cannon vice what looks like a "Gatling" type on the "09".

This below is where the VN-1 is developed from the VP-10.

Also you see the pictures to the right, in this case the top 3.

You'll see it's mounting a standard looking 30mm Auto Cannon vice what the "09" is carrying. Though the turret for the TYPE 08 appears to be the same or "slightly" different look on the front, the VP-10 30mm looks to be the same one mounted on the TYPE-08. Also what's in common with the TYPE 08 and VN-1, is the following...
"The baseline VP10 armored personnel carrier is operated by a crew of 2, and carries 12 dismounts.

Note the difference as I posted above for the TYPE 09.

And my Chinese supplement w/APC types below the tanks. What I didn't like seeing is the foreign operators of countries we have in the game, other then Pakistan, that might not have any of these at all.

GERMANY: LEOPARD work has started.

Late Post and major sinus headache, time to go!

T -10 Days to go!
