[Development] ZTZ96A: Can take a punch!

The ZTZ96A is a further development of the Chinese ZTZ96 MBT, which made its first public appearance in the late 2000’s. Also coming as one of many new interesting additions with update 1.97, the ZTZ96A will offer Chinese tank commanders in War Thunder a more advanced version of their existing top tier MBT!

In War Thunder, the ZTZ96A will be a new Rank VI Chinese main battle tank, making its way into the game as part of the upcoming update 1.97. Addressing some of the shortcomings of its predecessor - the ZTZ96, which arrived to the game in one of the previous updates - the more advanced ZTZ96A offers its aspiring commanders improved armor protection and mobility, thanks to the presence of an ERA add-on armor package and a more powerful engine!





The ZTZ96A arrives at the top rank of the Chinese ground forces tree in War Thunder with the release of the upcoming update 1.97. “Viking Fury”! In the meantime, keep a close watch on the news to stay up to date with all the latest developments surrounding the next major update coming to the game very soon. Until then, happy hunting tankers!
