Vehicle Description

This vehicle features a remarkable view range and good gun characteristics. Besides this, the reliable frontal armor of this medium tank allows for effective gameplay. On the other hand, one should always keep its tall silhouette and mediocre dynamics in mind.

Historical Reference

After 1960, Chinese government launched the development of a new tank. The engineering experiments included a wide use of previously produced Type 59 tanks. One vehicle was equipped with the turret, gun, and fire control system of an American M48A3 tank.
