The Type 58 is a Chinese tier 6 medium tank.
The U.S.S.R. exported a total of 1,800 T-34-76 and T-34-85 tanks to China. In 1954 the Chinese government made the decision to begin domestic production of the T-34-85 in 1958, with the new vehicle designated the Type 58. However, production was never initiated, and the Chinese army settled for modifications to the Soviet-made T-34s.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Very good maneuverability, better handling than T34-85
- Good ROF/DPM
- Ability to unlock both Chinese Heavy and Medium tree,meaning if you unlock IS-2, you automatically get the top gun for the T-
Cons:
- Low Hull Armor
- Poor penetration
- 2 less degree of gun depression compare to T34-85
Performance
- compare to its soviet counterpart, T34-85, Type 58 trades 16 less penetration for better mobility and ROF. With the same 128 penetration like M4A3E8, it should be played like one. Flank enemy heavies when possible and put your high DPM to good use. Its high DPM also gives you an edge while dueling with other tier 6 medium tanks.
