I don't think it is physically possible for the Chinese YW to pull a field piece as they have no tow pintle on them.  From what I saw while in Iraq (OIF 1, '03 invasion) most of their field pieces were pulled by trucks or Soviet/Russian MTLBs.

Iraqi YW531, notice no tow pintle on the rear.

 

thats an awesome pic thank you for the reference material, didn’t realize they had no tow capacity At all.

Would the Chinese made ywc apc he used to tow artillery at all? I’m thinking of a diorama with a Russian Bs-3 100 mm anti tank gun and want to have it being towed by the Iraqi ywc apc, would this be feasible?
