The Type 99B MBT is a fictional variant of the Chinese Type 99A Main Battle Tank that was posted on the Chinese Weibo social network around 2016. The author's idea was to create an "urban combat" version of Type 99A by adding improved ERA with cage armor covering the rear, hard-kill APS, improved sensors and FCS with advanced optics, 360 degrees vision system for the crew and a roof-mounted RCWS. The rest of the vehicle remained roughly the same.
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.
Thermobaric ATGM: This vehicle can launch special thermobaric ATGMs that act like massive HE shells.
Dozer Blade: This vehicle's dozer blade increases its ramming damage and grants additional hull protection.
Complete Smoke Cover: This vehicle fires its smoke launchers in all directions to provide complete concealment.
This MBT's front is protected by composite armor. Composite armor consists of combined layers of steel and other material and offers excellent protection against HEAT shells and ATGMs. Its steel sides and rear are considerably more vulnerable. The third generation ERA kit offers excellent protection against standard HEAT rounds or warheads, and partial protection against kinetic rounds and tandem HEAT warheads.
