The Type 96B MBT brings upgraded fire control and a stronger engine to Armored Warfare, boosting speed and mobility over its predecessor. This Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank stands out in the free-to-play massively multiplayer simulation with its prototype design, crafted for China's team at Russia's Tank Biathlon. Players command it on PC, leveraging agility and advanced ammunition in fast-paced action-strategy battles.
Its lighter armor favors quick maneuvers, though it withstands heavy hits. The special camouflage nods to the real-world event where the Chinese team took second place. Agile tank fans who prioritize speed in casual simulation matches will find it a strong pick.
"The Type 96B MBT, as its name suggests, is an evolution of the Type 96A, featuring such elements as an upgraded fire control system and a much more powerful engine, resulting in considerably better mobility and speed. Unlike the Type 96A, however, the Type 96B is a prototype, designed for the Chinese military team to use during the annual Tank Biathlon event in Russia. In 2017, the Chinese team won the second place, being defeated only by Russia.
In Armored Warfare, the Type 96B is a Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank. Gameplay-wise, it’s very agile and fast for its class and uses advanced ammunition, making it highly suitable for players who prefer mobility over armor protection, even though it can take a lot of punishment as well. It comes with a special camouflage, used by the Chinese team during the Tank Biathlon event."
