Printing SILVER LIONS with this Easy Mode Tank - ZTZ59A in War Thunder

[@OddBawZ]

What 7.7 Tank is better than this?!?! Get my Decal and 3% off SEVENTY DOLLAR PREMIUMS (gaijin pls) here: store.gaijin.net/catalog.php?category=WarThunder&partner=Oddbawz&partner_val=2bpa5qx4

[@guanyin19]

It's probably a toss up for me between the ZTZ59A and the AUBL/74 HVG. AUBL definitely has a lower floor, but for a good player I think it also has a higher ceiling. The AMX-30 is also worthy of a mention. No vert stab, but that thing can smash for a patient player who knows how to aim those HEAT shells. Speaking of French, we need a video on the AMX-50 Surblinde if you can get your hands on it. That thing is a monster!

Type 59 is also on 7.7 and also is semi-stabilized, the only thing different is LRF which isn't that usefull on that kind of tank. Nonetheless, I'm glad you're covering chinese vehicles, there are so many unique (in terms of gameplay) tanks, especially around this BR. Whether you've done or not video, I would suggest making one of 8.7 BR with AFT 09 with 1200mm pen missiles, ZTZ 88A with the only composit armour in hull on this BR (not some polymer, anti-chemical rounds protecion, like in T-55AM1 but actuall protection against darts!) and last but not least heli Z-11(forgor its name, first in heli tree) which is the only Heli below 9.3 (or 9.7) which has thermal vision. Ofc, you can also bring WMA 301 but this thing... it's just.. too op, don't do this :P Imo that lineup would make for great video.

Thank you very much for this video OddBawZ!

[@lordhickory3322]

Day 2 of proposing the challange I came up with to Odd: The cxhallenge is called "Basket Bomb": Your goal is to acuurately drop a bomb into any open top tanks' turret basket (e.g. M10 / M18 / the big german td's / the german AA's etc.)! Extra points if you use a very low-tier aircraft like a biplane, for the funnies. I think that would be extremely fun and it would make me so happy if you gave it a try

[@The_Burning_Ace]

This tank is fun and all, but have you tried the Type 69IIA (practically the same tank but looks cooler), it’s just as if not more fun and the rewards are just as great, plus you can play it with the Type 69II, T-62No545, and the WMA. Honestly if feels criminal to being able to play all of them and make so much SL

welcome back Odd :) nice to see you got the things sorted out. What was the issue with the video dramas?

[@HXIIIAEGIS]

Honestly,Type 69II-A are better in every way compared to ZTZ59A(HEAT cage,faster turret traverse and more powerful engine at 580 hp)but considering the tank are a one-off sale and at 8.0 which risk it seeing darts,yeah,this tank are better since it will get an occasional downtier.I love to combine 69II-A with WZ305 and Type 69 alongside F-84G for air power,you got one hell of a lineup(though i prefer bringing Type 59 in place of 69). Chinese premium MBTs are imo among the best in the game when it comes to making quick SL in ground RB and well worth the money if you decide to purchase them. They also have the one of best M60 variant in the game which is CM11 which have a same reload time as M1 Abrams(6.5 sec,5.4 if you expert it),since it use the same gun for some reason.

[@acole5975]

_Maybe_ it should go up to 8.0, but it's less capable overall than the T-55A, so I wouldn't describe it as overpowered at 7.7.
