Contrary to the popular belief quality wise again both their type 15 and type 9 IFV are quite potent both firepower and armor wise. T-90 on the other hand is also a extremely potent tank that could use hard and soft kill APS along with better ammo. The only issue is BMP 2 which is an absolute dogshit of IFV that can be penetrated by a 12.7mm MG from the side or 50 calibre SLAP. Another major issue is that it can be penetrated by any 2nd or above shaped charges easily from any angle.
