The biggest problem with this vehicle is its price. China already gets many good vehicles around 8.3 so it was not very attractive to the players. But after the Br change and with the anniversary discount this seems to become a very good vehicle to buy.
1:28 didn't gaijin mention on several occasions, that they do not care about how good/bad vehicle is, just how players on average perform in it? That would explain the lowering because of how bad average teams are.
Their fix about the bush packs from back then was to remove them. But keep all the same bushes except have them priced be individually. Instead of 500 GE for 6, it now costs 3000 GE for the exact same thing. Thanks Gajin.

From the great minds that brought you such shit storms as “6.3 jumbo”, “3.3 R3-T20”, “3.7 Pnz. IV H”, and “8.0 PTL02” is proud to present: “Laserrange T-55 at 7.7” *crowd claps and cheers (anyone who disagreed mysteriously disappeared)*
The Pz. IV H at 3.7 is still worse than a T-34 1942. Glad they moved it at 4.0. Jumbo at 6.3 is just the result of strong front and all around turret armor and APHE makes low penetration negligible. IS-2 and Tiger II P have good firepower but are easier to kill for lower BR vehicles.
It was down BR because they added the Type 69-IIa which has two plane stabilizer and also superior armor protection. But i still using the Type 59-I in my 8.0 lineup still doing great.
@@prestigexv2151 it only has terrible stock APFSDS that pens less then the APDS the Type 59 gets and mediocre HEAT-FS at a BR where a lot of tanks already have ERA.
@@a.b.3455 The dart is pretty bad, you're not wrong, but you can still kill anything with it, and anything that might be hard, you can just barrel/breech and swap to HEAT. But the extra turret traverse, 2-plane stab and laser rangefinder makes up for the poor dart. Also there isn't really that much ERA, only on the M60s in full uptiers, but even then, you can just shoot turret ring, or breech on the T-62M/T64.
you're probably mistaking it with all the others t-54/55 we have in game, personally the only vehicle based on it's chassis that seem bugged right now is the Type-62. I only have the TT Type-59 so im unsure about the premium but I don't usually bounce a lot of shots.
The type 62 can widthstand hits to the of the turret from teh Leo 2A6 because it has 600+mm of protection there. So obviously that's the most powerfull chinese tank.
Ironically while watching this I too was hit with constant lag and slow internet speed providing a wonderful mindfuck on whether the lag was me or your video recording. Also, play the E-100 for funzies.
APHE oneshots in generally completely outweigh the much lower penetration compared to much higher penetrating rounds that deal less damage. It’s like an AWE in Counterstrike. You might not hit (pen) but you often can kill in one shot, immediately negating the danger. For this I‘d like to advertise the amazing Italian AS 42/47. I completely forget this tank was added, if it wasn’t for the patch note that increased its RoF. It has pretty low penetration but the postpen damage of the Italien 47mm is just crazy for the caliber. Almost on par with a 88mm Pzgr. 39.
The BMP-2M and the 2S38 need to be put up to 10.7; its asinine that Gaijin thinks its ok for them to be as low as they are. The TURMS also needs to go to 10.0.
Hey Spookston, will you do a video on the Wiesel? I've been finding myself having a lot of fun with it at 7.3, rushing and capping a point and typically killing 3-5 light tanks before dying. Just zipping along the map killing IFV's and what not.
@@jonhg92 Its honestly better at the higher tier tbh, because of all the IFV's. The laser range finder and thermals is great too, you can flank the enemy very easily and start putting rounds into thin skinned vehicles from distance perfectly.

@@ideadlift20kg83 now that more people play chinese cause of the sales, i am sure it will, it was probably only this low br, because of low player numbers, but their wheely boys are so good, that i don't even mind being uptiered as much, when playing chinese, compared to other nations
In China we have a joke about the ZTZ59 since it, toghether with the Soviet T-54/55, has been used extensively in the Third World and quite a lot of them have been extremely modified: "Look! That's a space warship! " "Nah. You see, it has 2 pairs of propelling engines and 5 pairs of stablizing engines. It's a Type 59ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ which is the latest modified version of the whole series. "
I remember when the T-10M was at 7.7 or some shit back in like 2015 😂 so in a Tiger 2 you could face the T-54, IS3/4, and T-10M all in a full uptier (or gaijin would downtier them if you were really lucky) not to mention that’s when ATGM’s were first introduced lol, 6.7 was almost unplayable at that time.
Honestly whats worse is that this community does absolutely nothing to make Gaijin stop using "statistics" to balance vehicles rather than their capabilites.
Im like 95% sure that it went down in BR because it is paired with the T-69G II and the WMA301 The squadron vehicle is pretty recent and the T-62 is rarely sold
