▲

Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

Type 59 G

VIII

13500

The Type 59 G is a Chinese tier 8 premium medium tank.

Chinese medium tank. Initially, the vehicle was a copy of the Soviet medium T-54A tank. The Type 59 entered service in 1959. The first tanks manufactured had no gun stabilizer or night-vision device. Later the vehicle underwent several modernizations. Between 6,000 and 9,500 vehicles of all variants were manufactured from 1958 through 1987.

A golden variant of the famed Type 59, the Type 59 G had a long and fancied history in World of Tanks. First appeared in the Chinese server around 2010 as the "premium" counterpart of the original Type 59, it was sold for $180 and notable for generates 3 times more credits and XP than the original variant.

Later, the Type 59 G were introduced in the live server for the first time in 2011 simply as a "limited edition" variant of Type 59 which were available for sale on various holiday. However, the Type 59 G lost its triple credit generation and being sold at the same price of the original variant.

After the Type 59 were removed from store in 2012, the Type 59 G were removed completely from the game. Any players who have purchased Type 59 G at that time will receive the original Type 59 as compensation.

However, the Type 59 G has returned to the game in 2019 in Black Market auction event with identical stats along with various other acution sales or special access events. It is one of the rarer tanks in the game. Like the Type 59 is comes with preferential match making so will not encounter tier 10 tanks unless platooned with a standard tier 8 tank.
