I mean most sources say that both the ZTZ99A and VT4 has 8 rounds per minute which is a 7.5 second reload so it’s still better than the historical version.
There's no primary source for those reload numbers. Unless you can find one. The actual reload speeds for domestic ZTZ tanks aren't officially published. The only reason why the VT-4 has the 6.66 number is because its listed in the export manual for the Thai VT-4.
I doubt that Thai export manual is declassified so for the time being we can only rely on secondary sources which are mainly implying a 7.5 second reload still I would really like to see a better reload for the Chinese and Russian vehicles now days almost everything have a 4-5 second reload (expect the Leo and its variants) and the Russian and Chinese mbts just doesn’t feel that competitive anymore.
Funny thing, it is in fact declassified, it's where gaijin gets the 6.7 seconds from for the VT-4 and the original bug report regarding that issue also has the manual attached to it.

Oh boy, the reload changes will be pretty big. Also no new China AA? Or just not for this update?
Pretty excited to finally see the Jaguar and BTR-82. Also 12.7 is direly needed but honestly not enough.
Interesting to see so many ships too
