Type 59 is hands down the best tier 8 spmm prem, i played thousands of games with them in platoons, and the ridiculous crap a proper played type can pull is unmatched

Type 59 > IS5 / SP / whatever other spmm there are

imprevious to the always present 175 pen guns + a T54 turret + -7 gun depression (what) its OP, WG should make a new version, call it Type 59-II, give it full mm, buff the mobility a little, and it would be a perfect fine tier 8 tank (if not straight OP)

Heck, Type 59 is better as T54 mod 1, and that tank has full mm, yolo... (type is faster and gets (much) better turret armor, thats worth more as the extra hull armor....)

After having the opportunity to play a Type 59 I came to the conclusion it is the best Pref 8 available. People that claim it isn't that good must be trolling.

For some folks it's sour grapes, others like Deus are allergic to the gun handling. It's definitely my favourite of all my prems, and I'm not just saying that because of my mad OP crew.
