The T-69 II G is back for Golden Eagles and is here to stay!

Get yourself this cool tank that’s back for good.

About this tank

• The T-69 II G is a modification of the Type 69 MBT used by the Bangladesh Army. This tank uses a wide range of shells that are good for all scenarios, one of which includes the DTB-1 time fuze shell that’s effective at shooting down helicopters. Thanks to its good ballistics and reload speed, the T-69 II G is perfect for the sniper role.

The Т-62 №545 and Type 69-IIa are temporarily available for Golden Eagles!

Pickup these tanks that are available until February 15th!

About this tank

• The Т-62 №545 is a Soviet tank that was captured by the PLA after the battle for Damansky Island. This tank features good mobility, good frontal armor and a powerful 115 mm gun that can fire HE, HEAT-FS and APFSDS rounds. A two-plane stabilizer also allows it to fire smoothly while on the move!

About this tank

• The Type 69-IIa is another export version of the Type 69. This variant was developed specifically for the Iraqi Army and features additional protection and a 100 mm gun from the Type 59. Its Type 44 AP round is capable of dealing significant damage and is ideal for flanking and shooting enemies at the side. For longer distances, a handy Laser rangefinder is also featured on this tank.
