 New to the Chinese arsenal is the DTB-1 HE-VT round. It has a proximity fuse against air targets, similar to the [[WZ305]]'s DKY-1 HE-VT rounds. The fuse only activates after 500 m of travel distance and has a trigger radius of 15 m. Since the T-69 II G does not have particularly good gun handling and the 825 m/s muzzle velocity is rather low, DTB-1 is best used against enemy helicopters as opposed to jet aircraft. It is ineffective against armoured ground targets because it only has 1.66 kg of TNT equivalent. In an emergency it can be fired at SPAAs and other lightly armoured vehicles in hopes of knocking them out with overpressure.

 The T-69 features two MGs: one roof-mounted 12.7 mm heavy MG, and a 7.62 mm coaxial MG. The 12.7 mm MG, with its maximum penetration of around 30 mm, can do quite well against poorly armoured vehicles such as the R3 T20 / T106, and the AUBL 74. It can also damage or even destroy the opponent's gun barrel or track with around 5 seconds of continuous fire. Against low-flying aircraft it can easily get you some critical hits with the correct lead. However its magazine empties very quickly and it does not carry enough ammo for prolonged MG fire comparing to the infamous M2HB.

 The 7.62 mm, on the other hand, can only damage fully exposed crew which are not commonly seen at this BR, or clear up light obstacles. Its low penetration greatly limits its usage in battles.

-T-69 II G is an improved derivative of the [[Type 69]], the T-69 II G is one of many Chinese tanks hailing from the lineage of the original [[Type 59]], itself a version of the Soviet T-54. It has a few tricks up its sleeve and makes a good accompaniment to the similar [[ZTZ59D1]]; while the kinetic protection or the mobility are not the best among other medium tanks/MBTs, the ERA packages will often save the tank from lower-tier chemical shells (HEATFS, missiles) while the high-velocity main cannon will make sure the shots will land on enemy targets as fast as it could. Players have to be extra careful on where the tank should appear as it will not arrive the frontline first, as well as disabling the enemy with the first shot due to its inferior reload rate and reaction time.

 The T-69 II G's optics are a fixed 6x zoom with a 12 degree field of view. This is a comfortable setting for medium range engagements, but players used to the typical 3.5-7.5x zoom and 21-10 degree FOV of the Type 59 family may find it less convenient for close quarters.
-The -4.5° gun depression might look too poor, but due to the low height of the vehicle it is actually enough for quite some not-so-hilly terrains. On gentle hills the T-69 can peek over safely, exposing only the turret for hull down, for example certain spots in Jungle and Frozen Pass. However, this gun depression is still not great in very hilly maps like Karelia, forcing the player to ditch the hull down tactic.
