[Development] ZTZ96: Top-Tier Chinese

Developed during the 1990s, the ZTZ96 is a further development of the ZTZ80 family of Chinese MBTs that brings with it several improvements to make it fit for the modern age. In update 1.93, the ZTZ96 will join the top ranks of the recently introduced Chinese ground forces tree and will soon become available to all tankers!

In War Thunder, the ZTZ96 will be a new main battle tank coming to rank VI of the recently added Chinese ground forces tree and will become available to all tankers with the release of the upcoming update 1.93. The ZTZ96 can be viewed as the Chinese counterpart to the venerable Soviet T-72, given that both vehicles share a number of similarities ranging from firepower over mobility and even protection and survivability to some degree.





The ZTZ96 is bound to arrive to the top ranks of the Chinese ground forces tree with the upcoming update 1.93 coming to War Thunder very soon. In the meantime though, make sure to be on the lookout for more news regarding the next major update. Until then, tankers dismissed!
