The Revalorise is worth a look. It's an exceptionally good little tank in my opinion.
The Rev is a monstrosity that should have been in the Israeli branch on it's own
Is actually the M51 Super Sherman (known as Isherman) which was kept in service until the 1980s.....
And because I own it, always scared when seeing one at the opponents team. A good player can create a lot of wrecks with it.
Seriously you can win a Type 59 from the Chinese box !!! ... noooooooooooo WG I hate you.... going to have to deface my CC so I can't buy boxes !!
Relax. Type 59 is overrated and bellow mediocre tank, after 6 years worth of nerfs.
T54 mod 1, is far superior than the Type 59 ever was, and miles better than the Type 59 of today.
And I am not some noob writing this. I have the Type 59 with almost 3000 battles over the last 6 years. (ingame name Fediuld).
It takes 6 skill crew and a lot of sweating to do well in the tank, and you cannot bully any tank bigger than tier 6. You get bullied even by Tier 6 heavies these days. Hell, an OI using HE can completely wreck you with frontal hit.
Something that I have no issue with any other of my tier 8 premium meds. Because they can bully up to tier 9 meds and lights (T54 Mod 1) or scare the crap from distance with the Revalorise big alpha, or the superb P88 reload and accuracy.
Get the stock WZ120 and play it on a Tier 9 battle. You will find how uninspiring and horrible Type 59 is today, in full Tier 8 or Tier 9 battles.
