T69 Review/Guide, Recognizing Positions of Strength and Weakness

I review the T69, a tier 8 American medium tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of an all tier 8 Glacier battle and a tier 9 Fisherman's Bay battle.

The T69 combines abysmal penetration with poor gun handling, so it can be a very awkward tank to play.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Excellent gun depression (-9)
Excellent view range (400)
Good burst (960 in 6s)
Upper turret protection is solid
Smallish profile
Very poor silver AP penetration (181)
Very long aim time (2.9 base)
Very poor gun handling
Poor accuracy (0.38 base)

Recommended Equipment
1. Optics
2. VStab
3. Vents

This video is part of my "Road to Unicum" series in which I share what I learned as I progressed towards account Unicum rating (top 1%) with silver ammo only. I talk through how I'm reading the battle as it unfolds and discuss key decisions and mistakes. My hope is that these videos meaningfully help players improve their gameplay.
