Hey mates, I have been playing the Type-62 with mediocre results, but I see people destroy enemy teams with it. Are there any good recommendations to how to use the vehicle?
I main the APHE, with 15 rounds of it, while only bringing 8 HEAT shells for heavy vehicles.
I also feel like this vehicle is a side grade to the Type-63 which sits at a br of 6.3. Imo this should move down to 6.7 due to the mobility nerf it has received, now it is even slower than the Type-63. I am better off using the T-34-85 with faster turret traverse.
Any help on how to use the vehicle will be appreciated, thanks.
I’m one of those
I bring 10 of each, but 15:8 also sounds good, I wouldn’t argue against that.
Definitely not. It’s smaller, has better armour that means you resist machine guns all round, has smoke, has the DShK, and has virtually the same mobility.
The DShK especially is brilliant for taking out planes or lightly armoured targets if you miss or just don’t want to fire your cannon (or can’t, if your turret is the wrong way round).
You need to use it to flank. Race into position, ideally get rid of the enemy light tanks doing the same thing, which you should be able to do easily with the powerful APHE + DShK combo. Then get side shots onto enemies, and relocate often. Don’t stay in the same position, always move to surprise the enemy, and you should be able to rack up kills. Use HEAT when dealing with heavies or some mediums frontally, otherwise stick to the APHE. Make sure to cap as well when you can, you have the mobility to get there, smoke, cap, leave, then kill anyone who tries to re-cap. Don’t go into the thick of combat, and stay away from CQC if you can avoid it, although I’ve had success with CQC in towns with lots of roads and passageways so you can disengage and re-engage to your benefit.
The Type 62 is easily my favourite Chinese vehicle at the 6.3-6.7 lineup, and my favourite overall (so far).

The main benefit of the type 62 is that people panic when they see you cause they think you’re a t54. You have to jumpscare people with it and it’s incredibly effective.
