Player Recommendations
This tank is best played as a well armed scout, with it's mobility and camouflage values making it a fast and sneaky flanker. As it is the only AFV on it's tier with a large caliber weapon, it is best used in hit and run tactics against the sides and rears of MBTs.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High alpha
- Excellent gun depression
- High mobility
Cons
- Incredibly poorly armored against even the lightest of autocannons
- Slower than other AFVs on it's tier
- Vulnerable to counterattacks due to it's long reload
Upgrade Suggestions
Upgrading to the D-414.44/2 Diesel Engine will allow you to close the gap with the other AFVs, and allow faster extraction from dangerous locations. The Improved Gunner Sight and Improved Stowage will allow the vehicle to expose itself less while waiting for the aim circle to settle.
Retrofit Suggestions
- Advanced Muzzle Reference System
- Advanced Fire Control
- Improved Telescopic Lens
- Improved Gun Breech
- Improved Spall Liner
Commander and Crew Skill Suggestions
- Commander: Juan Carlos, to improve the aim speed, camo value, and crew stats.
- Driver: Smooth Ride, Off-Road Driving
- Gunner: Sharpshooter, Quick Draw
- Loader: Rapid Fire, Explosive Shells

| The OT-65A was a dedicated scout vehicle of the Czechoslovakian Army, and therefore was not expected to be put under sustained attack from anything besides small arms fire. The vehicle's armor and recommended playstyle reflect this fact. | |||||||

History
The Type 69 was developed in the 1960s and 1970s as an upgrade to the Type 59. While not successful domestically, the Type 69 was one of China's most successful export programs. Most of the upgrades over the Type 59 came from T-62s captured during the Sino-Soviet border conflict, including upgrades to the FCS and IR systems. The Type 69 first entered service in 1982, and is still in service with reserve units in China, along with various armies in southeast Asia and Africa.
