And if theres anything to complain about with the ZTZ96B its that they made it a f… Premium instead of an TT Vehicle which it should have been and China desperately needs more than another Premium where we already got the 96A(P) and Al-Khalid…
You do realise the 96B is literally the perfect example of what a prem should be?
it’s unique and didn’t go into mass production, this also likely means the Al - Khalid will be removed at some stage as this thing is literally the same BR, or this thing is gonna end up at 12.0
They could have cheated and used the VT-2B for a premium and 96B for tech tree, but I’m not too bothered by it
why would they use the export as the premium? it’s 1 slightly better so it should be TT and 2 it’s perfect to slot in nicely behind the VT4. AS those are exports.
The ZTZ96B is also slightly different as it has intergrated ERA unlike the VT2b which has them ready to be changed for if there was a buying.
why wouldn’t they use the export for a premium instead of something the PLA uses (albeit in small numbers)
the Al-Khalid is slightly better than the MBT-2000
meh
It was still used by the PLA itself. If anything the Exports should be Premiums i.e. VT4 / VT4A1, MBT-2000 etc. and not the Vehicles China itself uses…and as i said we already have two Top Tier Premiums for China with the ZTZ-96A(P) and Al-Khalid which is also basically just an improved ZTZ96…and now another ZTZ96 as Premium…
