Type-63 and type-62, as much as their ‘light tank’ labels suggests, are some of the sloppiest tanks in its entire BR range. The turret traverse speeds are aligned with ZTZ-59, with slow reverse speeds and pretty low depression. In fact I would even suggest that comparing them to light tanks of similar BR such as hellcats and bulldogs would be unfair since they only share the lightly armoured part, and not the manoeuvrability. The more fair comparison can be made to say the M36B2 which sits at 5.7, with a HEAT round also boasting 300 pen. It obviously has worse speed, but the turret traverse and depression more than makes up for it to make this a viably comparable scenario, when in game type-62 sits at 6.7, with almost comparable armour and slightly better manoeuvrability. I again want to draw doubt to whether that is worth a 1.0 BR increase.
Type 63 also has its non-HEAT version, Obj.211 at 5.0, which is of course the same question, whether a HEAT round that is worth just 0.4 for M36, worth 1.3 for type 6.3, especially given the two vehicles are identical otherwise.
