Used to be 8.3 but Gaijin thought that pushing everything upwards is decompression somehow.
Its the same with the T 62 basically, no laser rangefinder and 8.7
Still I think at 9.0 it’s managable, I’d much rather play an armored MBT at 9.0 with 350mm APFSDS than an unarmored light vehicle at 9.3 with 290mm APFSDS like the Type 16.
As long as they keep these things at 9.0 and not push them even higher.
After playing some more rounds today, i actually think my main problem is the engine. and the acceleration
Yeah, it’s weird… I don’t know if it actually is that slow or just sounds slow? If feels heavy.
580 PS at 37t but the transmission only allows 50kmh
Weird thing is the T 62 has the same engine power but feels faster somehow. at the same weight
I don’t know if that’s perception or not.
I might try to put expert crew onto it so the driver is better with the transmission
Probably worth for a premium at least.
not a tank problem, a BR compression problem

Yeah, thats basically what i ment with this post, i think at 8.3 or 8.7 it would be much better
It’s certainly “workable” as a 9.0 vehicle, at least it’s better than the tech tree M60A3, though significantly lags behind the ztz88a/b.
Now the current state of br system, especially for br range between 9 - 10 is rather pathetic. I got into br 10/10.3 games nine out of ten times while playing with my Chinese 9.3 lineup. Until more decompression coming in (if done properly) playing tanks from br 9-9.7 is always going be a pain in the ***.
T-69 IIG was extremely strong at 8.7. It was really OP at downtier. It’s fine at 9.0 but I know it struggles in uptier. However this tank’s power to weight ratio and gear changing time isn’t accurate. I’ll make a bug report on it.
It has wrong gear switching speed in game.
Do you know if the type 69-IIA packs the same Problem since its the same weight and same engine?
Wanted to ask this yesterday but gaijin restricted posts for new users to 21 on the first day…lol
The Type 69 IIA should have the same engine power as the T-62 or T-55, weighing more or less like the T-55. The problem with the Type 69 IIA in the game is that it should have an APDS-FS ammunition, but in its place it carries an obsolete APDS, an APCBC and HEAT-FS.

I feel like the 2G is fine at 9.0, it’s significantly better than the Obj. 435 and T-62.
Probably more comparable with the T-55AM-1, but the dart is waaay better than 3BM25. If anything, it’s a BR compression issue.

The 69 II G is a relic of a moment in War Thunder’s history where it was a complete dominator of that BR. If it’s more balanced now than before, then it should be adjusted.
Type 69 II G should be the same BR as the T55am-1 and T55AMD-1. It’s funny that you have to fight t72 turms, BMP2M and 2s38 in ye old Chinese t55 ;)
