Type 69 - Stock to Spaded - Should You Grind It? Niiiiiiiccccccceeee [War Thunder]

[@thatguysky123]

This tank is amazing. Most other tank players think it's normal T54, but that LRF makes a huge difference. Its dart isn't that good, but the HEATFS make up for the lack of pen.

[@serch3ster]

Honestly most chinese tanks get crazy starting at 7.7 to 8.7. They start getting LRF, Stabs, ERA, HE-TV for tanks. Only annoying part is low turret speed. But the trade off is worth it.

[@Kaldosthesergal]

I used the APFSDS as my primary shell. I occasionally use HEAT but the dart works incredibly reliably for me.

[@ej1025]

​@@KaldosthesergalAgreed on the dart.

[@DerRusher]

​@@Kaldosthesergalyes! The dart is way better and more consistent than the heatfs

[@norfangl3480]

Nah it's one of the worst vehicles to play. APFSDS is weaker than the APHE from the previous Type 59. HEAT in general is extremely dodgy.

[@minerska3395]

This with the type 69 2A, ztz59a, ztz59d1 is my go to tank for chinese 8.0-8.3 lineup

[@DerRusher]

4:30 no dude... This apdsfs is WAY better than the apds of the 59! The type 59 regular apds strugles to go through its own 60° angled 100mm front plate at 500m+ while the apdsfs of the type 69 can dl that no problem. There barely are any plages that exceed 200mm at that BR, and also the post pen spalling is a lot better of the type 69. The 59 apds bounces a ton, its very annoying. I take the apdsfs over the heatfs from the type 69, its just that good at its BR! Mabe take like 5 heatfs shells if you see a Mausorsomething like that. But for everything else the apdsfs is just better

[@ironwill7559]

Thanks bro. Someone who actually knows what their talking about.

[@DrSpoon-nd4uj]

What I find weird about the Type 69 is that it's basically a T-55A but at 8.0 instead of 8.3, Chinese bias?

[@mrturner4620]

Weirdly that’s how a lot of the Chinese tech tree is rn, half of it is a br lower than it should be 😂

[@ironwill7559]

Worse shells and no variety of shells.

[@felion_]

Ztz59A vs WMA301?

[@digitl_ghost]

Grinding China now. This is great info. Thank you.

[@ironwill7559]

Im seeing too many ppl saying that APFSDS shell is bad. Yall is gatkeeping or something cause i love that shell. It 1 taps everything. And btw tankenstein, use the m41d. Plssssss

[@Tframx]

[@Nakxin]

[@kristijanmedved6066]

China needs cas options

[@Herr_Unknowen]

As a Guy who is spading the Maus i can Play against this br which is sad

[@ironwill7559]

How is it sad? Lol u can 1 tap every tank at 8.0 no problem. Just wait on them to peek first

[@Herr_Unknowen]

@ironwill7559 yeah Problem when playing against guided bombs (cas after all) and laser range Finders + thermals and apfsds which guess what a Maus cant Tank . . .Not fair br

[@ajikanExe]

broken t54 that is better then russian tho the ammo is kinda mix bag between good and underwhelming lol

[@neneseal5182]

The apfsds on this tank is apcr level bad, the post pen is basically non-existent. It is so bad even offical WT youtube channel admit that is sucks in one of their video lol

[@mateuszk3812]

Type 59 have similar issue, with weak apds more comparable to Centurion Mk.3 one than to the other 8.0 wehicles. Its more like a tradeoff when compared to standard T 54 - better modules for becoming a heat-slinger. There is kinda no-point to force yourselve to not use it.
