General information
The Type 90(B) MBT is a specialized variant of the Type 90 MBT, designed to mount a Type 92 minefield-clearing roller at the front of the vehicle. Unlike the standard Type 90, which can be equipped with a dozer blade, the Type 90(B) cannot mount a dozer, as the attachment points for the roller interfere with the dozer configuration.
It was introduced in Update 1.95 "Northern Wind". Essentially a backup to the standard Type 90, it offers the same formidable 4-second autoloaded 120 mm gun firing JM33 rounds, strong mobility, and average armour for an MBT. The only significant difference is the addition of 10 mm mounting plates on the lower front plate, which prevents the attachment of a dozer blade.
