More about the 59-Patton
This tank features the hull of the Soviet-Chinese vehicle and the turret of the American vehicle. This unexpected combination creates interesting results. Besides the exotic appearance, the 59-Patton received excellent characteristics:
The tank retained all the features of the Type 59’s hull and suspension: 100 mm sloped armor, a low silhouette, and moderate dynamics. The turret inherited from the M48 Patton comes with a previous version of the commander’s cupola with weak armor. However, this drawback is fully compensated for with a fast-firing gun with good stabilization and excellent depression and elevation angles. Among the Chinese high-tier tanks, only the 59-Patton can easily adapt to irregular terrain thanks to 10 degrees of gun depression.
Armor-Piercing shells fired from the American gun can penetrate armor with an average thickness of 180 mm. High-Explosive Anti-Tank shells with a penetration capacity of 268 mm can easily penetrate almost any enemy. As you are well aware, the more damage you cause, the more credits you get, especially on a Premium vehicle. Go for it on the 59-Patton!
