I think they don't take care of the tank well even it's on static display that's why the tracks like that :/

When this game released the real picture of new NK tank wasn't shown up until the parade in 2010, so they make a tank looks likes ZTZ-99A2 or ZTZ-96A1 (I highly doubt if China sell these advanced tank for NK during the invasion, but for the MBT-2000 that's still possible). The newest NK tank named Pokpung-ho, however it's still not in line with the design like Chinese one did: [link]

The tank in game is a very striking type 99 tank

Look closer, the tank in the game is lacking of anti-optics as well as the laser designator at the turret. I'm sure that's not the Type-99, but the MBT-2000 (It also allowed to upgrade into better armored variant shaped like the 96A1 or 99A2).

Right although that could be due to the fact they were exported

Type-98 is not too productive as well as Type-99 since the PLA take the decision of the upgraded version of Type-96. It can provide better armoring and also shape up the design as close as the Type-99, yet with a lot more cheaper price since it doesn't require a heavy-duty engine and anti-optical device.

What's with the tracks? Is this the cheaper model of the Type99
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
no, this is not a cheaper variant of the Type 99 Chinese Tank, this was the Chinese' copy of the Soviet's T-54 Main Battle Tank.

Very interesting. Some of these Chinese tanks have German Maybach engines. They're getting very modern, the PRC...

It's also in "Modern Tanks" and other books. Western countries supply China with a LOT of stuff, which the Chinese then build under licence...
