They didnt have V-SHAPED hulls at first but they got them later on, but they also have zero forging capabilities and they are getting kinda old now but they were always known for being very very maintenance heavy and will require more as they age. The MGS version was a failure is another reason why ppl say it sucked. It also didn't have that much space in the rear for troops that they had to kind a split infantry squads into multiple vehicles as well. Like they didnt even have IED shock seats either, which is why you hear soldiers back in Iraq/Afghanistan put sandbags on the floor for IEDs to help adsorb the impact. Newer ones did address some of these issues but not all of them. I mean they were always under armed as well until recently. Also soldiers said it would roll over a lot and catch fire a lot too.

For comparison, the North Korean ones have river forging capabilities, there is a MGS one that looks like it works, and that one also has increased protection with ERA blocks on it as well. They might add APS on theirs as well. I seen it on their new tank, so I dont see why they couldnt add some on their IFV's as well. The APS is based off of the Chinese one.
