The Type 59 is a Chinese tier 8 premium medium tank.
Chinese medium tank. Initially, the vehicle was a copy of the Soviet medium T-54A tank. The Type 59 entered service in 1959. The first tanks manufactured had no gun stabilizer or night-vision device. Later the vehicle underwent several modernizations. Between 6,000 and 9,500 vehicles of all variants were manufactured from 1958 through 1987.
This tank was removed from the in-game store on 16 January 2012. The decision was made "to ensure a healthy gameplay balance at higher tiers, and also to encourage a wider variety of tier 8 medium tank usage." It last appeared in the gift shop in August 2012. Though not available for traditional purchase, it frequently is the reward for first place in official competitions and tournaments.
Considered one of the best tier 8 premium tanks, it combines decent armor with good 'hard' gun statistics and acceptable mobility. Though acceleration is not very good it has a high top speed and can flank enemy tanks easily. It does lose speed quite easily in turns though so circling opponents might be somewhat difficult. Because of its large spread of features and lack of specialization, the Type 59 fills the 'pocket heavy' role of the tier VIII premiums and very often performs better than expected in 1-on-1 fights with tier VIII mediums and light tanks.
Pros:
Exceptional frontal turret armor
Well sloped frontal upper hull armor can bounce shells from most lower tier tanks
7 degrees of gun depression is an outlier in the Chinese tree, allowing greater flexibility
High credit income + low repair costs
Preferential matchmaking (tier 9 max, no tier 10 battles)
Cons:
Low HP pool
Frontal/right-side mounted ammo rack, frontal fuel tank, and weak lower glacis gives you a hard time
Underwhelming DPM than comparable non-premium mediums
Top of the turret has 2 weak cupolas
Upper hull glacis is prone to medium caliber guns
