Dude, the 96B came later than the 99A.
Hence why they still opted for tbe 99 as it is more advanced and better.
They dont see the point in upgrading the fleet of 96s when they can make more 99s

it’s literally the best example of what a premium should be, a non service vehicle which isn’t stupidely OP or anything and is different from what’s in the TT
IT should really be a squadron vehicle but here we are.

type 96b is one of the most mass produced tanks in the chinese army (~2500 produced which is more than all variants of the type 99 combined). it 100% should be a tt vehicle with a reskinned version (like how leo2a4 pzabt 123 is) being a premium
Where are you guys getting thousands produced from?
No way they’ll make 2500 and only enter a few dozen

Where the heck did you pull that number from?
Every source i see says they’ve again been made in limited numbers specifically for tank biathalones and competitions.
They made/ upgraded a handful of 96As to the B standard
No idea man

Just too ugly unfortunately, as ugly as vt-4. Would buy if it looks like ztz99/wz1001
Source?
Guys, unless you have some sort of official source countering what is said in the OP, I don’t know why you’re even debating this issue. Not mass produced > mainly used in Tank Biathlon. Premium material.

Imagine the WT community not being so hypocritical.
We finally get a unique premium which is not a mass produced unique vehicle. So it fits the roll absolutely perfectly, yet the community are crying that it’s unique and shouldn’t be a premium.
Like if we get copy paste, they cry, if we get unique, they cry.
This is IMO a perfect squadron vehicle, however it is also a more than adequate premium tank and is a welcome change from stuff which is just the same vehicle.

Because there are hundreds of thousands of people playing games, of course, there will be different opinions. As a gift package, I have no opinion at all and support it very much. Those who oppose, let him oppose. The facts cannot be changed by them.

You make a good point which I cannot dispute nor disagree wth. Fair enough, I for one am super happy that the 96B is coming : D

I think the outrage is because most people believe the ZTZ96B was mass produced when it was not. I don’t blame them, the standardized name makes it sound like it entered common service, and to my knowledge it is still unclear how many ZTZ96Bs were produced exactly, or precisely what was unsatisfactory about the design so that production terminated after a few vehicles.
Then people should do some research before jumping the gun so fast to make erroneous statements.
as far as I am aware it was about 12 or so were made originally.
