The ZTQ-62-I is a Chinese light reconnaissance tank that appeared in Wargame: Red Dragon. It is a improved version of the original ZTQ-62 with better armor protection and overall main gun performance.
History
The Type 62 participated in the Sino-Vietnamese War started from 1979. However, the Type 62 suffered due to anti-tank weapons such as the ubiquitous rocket launchers penetrating right through the thin armour. The overall consensus of their experiences in Vietnam was that the Type 62 not suitable to act around as a normal tank due to its light armour and armament, and was relegated to recon and fire support.
An upgrade program commenced on the Type 62 led to the Type 62-I variant. The program was based on the experiences in Vietnam, leading to many upgrades such as a laser range finder, a shield for the exterior-mounted 12.7mm machine gun, and protection against HEAT rounds.
