It was first officially revealed in 2006 and shown to the public in 2009 during a Beijing military parade. What makes it most recognizable is the frontal turret arrow-shaped armor, taken from the Type 99. If reports are to be believed, the original frontal turret protection of 450mm of RHAe versus kinetic shells and 850mm versus HEAT was enhanced to some 1000mm of protection versus HEAT rounds thanks to a combination of composites and an ERA kit. The ERA blocks cover the turret sides as well, making the vehicle much more resistant to ATGMs and other HEAT-based threats. Chinese sources claim that the vehicle uses a standard 730hp 12150ZLC V12 turbocharged diesel engine, allowing it to go as fast as 57 km/h, but, given the weight increase from 41 to 43 tons, it's possible the engine was up-tuned to 800hp. The weapon system was essentially unchanged. The tank is currently in active Chinese service, with perhaps 1000 vehicles serving in the Beijing area. It is not offered for export as it is, but an export-intended variant exists and has been offered since 2012, so far without success. The only notable action the Type 96A ever participated in was the Russian Tank Biathlon annual competition where countries competed in various disciplines, including driving and accurate fire. The Type 96A fared quite well in these trials all things considered. It came third in 2014 and second in 2015. ==Vehicle Traits== *Armored: This vehicle's armor can withstand a lot of punishment, allowing it to survive even serious firefights. *Heavy Weapon: This vehicle carries one of the largest weapons around with significantly increased damage per shot. *Engine Boost: This vehicle's engine rev limiter can be overridden to significantly increase speed and acceleration for a short period of time. {{Clear}} ==Ammunition== {| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; text-align:center;" ! style="display:none" | # !
