Type 59 or Type 69 for talisman?

I want buy a talisman for china. I dont played neither. Which one worth it?
I hope 8.0 will be better after a t-55AM/AMD Br incrase

Both are not worth at all. The nearest tanksI can recommend for it are ZTZ59D1 and AFT09.

wait till sales at least as they are soon

I know both sucks, but dont wanna buy premium tanks or packs
I wait for the sales and buy some talisman for the nations where i dont have rank5+ premiums.
STB-2, OF40mk2, Strv 101 but cannot decide for china. theese 2 seems are the least shit tanks at rank5. m48 is boring, bmp and zts are shit, PLZ05 is not so bad, but i hate the SPH gameplay

I’d go Type 69 as the faster turret drives+dual plane stabiliser will be helping against all the rat vehicles

Don’t sleep on Talismanning the WZ305 as an option, it’s just as effective at AT as the ZSU-57-2 though it’s even better as an AA with proximity fused shells (though there’s less free RP these days as Gaijin completely destroyed the viability of rocket Helis at the start of the game).

The Type 69 is honestly insane for the BR. Good armour, full stabiliser, LRF and access to a (limited pen) APFSDS.

I wouldn’t recommend anyone to use a talisman on that tank. It’s better to use a talisman on Type 69.

Issue is it is 8.0, so against radar SPAA it is still lacking, plus the armour, u are hard pressed to do a flank with 57mm and T54 hull is not manoeuvrable, and doesn’t fend off anything like at 7.0.

I’d agree on that, also the LRF makes it so nice to snipe with. 59 is just a bit sloppy.

Boring =/= shit.

M48 is like a Toyota. Not particularly interesting but will perform okay in most cases
