It is also the only 6x6 APC in the game, means that its smaller size can be an advantage in combat, since it will be more difficult to get shot.

It differs from its counterparts in 3 major points: 1. Its ZPT-90 cannon has the lowest rate of fire out of the 3 - the M242 Bushmaster on the LAV-25 has a higher rate of fire, and the Shipunov 2A42 on the BTR-90 has the highest rate of fire - but its cannon has the highest muzzle velocity at 400m/s and also deals the most damage and its explosive rounds have the highest blast radius. 2. It has one rear-facing gun port, while the LAV-25 has 2 and the BTR-90 has none, making it less vulnerable to infantry attacks from behind compared to the BTR-90, while it still cannot cover the rear area as much as the LAV-25. 3. Despite being a 6x6 IFV, its size is on the larger end: it has roughly the same length as the LAV-25 and slightly shorter than the BTR-90, while its overall height is the absolute highest out of the 3 IFVs - the overall height of the LAV-25 is roughly the same as that of its hull. This means that the vehicle is easier to get spotted and shot by AT weapons. Other than these differences, it is identical to other IFVs in the game.

WZ-551-1

The WZ-551 in real life.

The WZ-551 (official designation by the PLA is ZSL-92 or Type 92) a 6x6 amphibious wheeled armored personnel carrier used by the People's Liberation Army and developed and built by Norinco. The IFV variant - which appears in Battlefield 2 - is armed with the indigenously produced ZPT-90 25x183mmB autocannon - based on the Soviet 2A14 23x152mmB used on the ZU-23-2 and bored out to 25mm, or the French GIAT M811 cannon that was acquired through a deal between France and China. The vehicle is also armed with a coaxial 7.62mm machinegun which can be replaced with an HJ-8 ATGM launcher if necessary. Another variant is armed with a single 12.7mm machine gun, called the WZ-551A instead.

Battlefield 2

In Battlefield 2, the WZ551 is the IFV used by the People's Liberation Army. Its US/EU and MEC counterparts are the LAV-25 and the BTR-90, respectively.

It differs from its counterparts in 3 major points: 1. Its ZPT-90 cannon has the lowest rate of fire out of the 3 - the M242 Bushmaster on the LAV-25 has a higher rate of fire, and the Shipunov 2A42 on the BTR-90 has the highest rate of fire - but its cannon has the highest muzzle velocity at 400m/s and also deals the most damage and its explosive rounds have the highest blast radius. 2. It has one rear-facing gun port, while the LAV-25 has 2 and the BTR-90 has none, making it less vulnerable to infantry attacks from behind compared to the BTR-90, while it still cannot cover the rear area as much as the LAV-25. 3. Despite being a 6x6 IFV, its size is on the larger end: it has roughly the same length as the LAV-25 and slightly shorter than the BTR-90, while its overall height is the absolute highest out of the 3 IFVs - the overall height of the LAV-25 is roughly the same as that of its hull. This means that the vehicle is easier to get spotted and shot by AT weapons. Other than these differences, it is identical to other IFVs in the game.
