In World of Tanks, judging whether a tank is truly "strong" has never been about a single stat being high, but rather about how well-rounded the overall design is. During the Tier 10 medium tank era, the Centurion AX was known for its balance and was often used as a benchmark by many players.

Recently, with the World of Tanks 2.0 update and the introduction of new Tier 11 vehicles, the XM69 perfectly inherits this "statistical excellence" and even surpasses it in key areas.

As the successor to the M48 Patton, its most notable feature is inheriting Patton’s absurdly strong three dispersion stats, with base coefficients reaching an astonishing 0.06/0.07/0.07. Even without activating fire control skills, its handling already far exceeds the average for Tier 11 mediums. After full upgrades, the dispersion stats improve further to 0.05/0.06/0.06, which is incredibly powerful.

What truly makes the XM69 legendary is its unique skill: the aerodynamic gyroscopic stabilizer. When activated, the three dispersion coefficients drop straight to zero. In close-quarters dogfights, your aiming reticle can lock tightly onto enemy weak spots, allowing you to hit exactly where you aim. Enemies who expose even the slightest vulnerability will pay a heavy price. At longer ranges with moving targets, this skill lets you experience top-tier modern main battle tank fire control — lock, fire, and hit all in one smooth action!

Built around this unbeatable fire control, the XM69’s firepower itself is a solid upgrade. It’s like a fully evolved version of the M48A5, with improved penetration, damage, and DPM. Single shot damage reaches 420, base DPM is 3148, and with premium ammo and equipment, the maximum DPM can break through the 4100 mark.

Combined with its outstanding gun handling, its output is both consistent and fierce. It can handle close-range peek-and-shoot tactics as well as long-range mobile firing with great effectiveness, making it a very versatile tank.

Mobility has also fixed the “old weak point” of the Patton! Previously, driving the Patton meant struggling to chase enemies or contest points quickly. The XM69’s top speed is finally improved, allowing it to keep pace when repositioning or contesting key areas. It now has the agility expected of a medium tank, no longer forcing you to watch teammates rush ahead while you’re stuck behind.

Its protection is also impressive. Thanks to excellent hull design, it has strong damage resistance when showing its front. Opponents will think twice before trying to penetrate your mantlet. As long as you position correctly, it’s not easy for same-tier tanks to penetrate you head-on, so you don’t have to worry about random penetrations like before, giving you greater confidence on the battlefield.

Overall, the XM69 is the most player-friendly Tier 11 tank in this 2.0 update. It inherits the strengths of the Patton while fixing its previous weaknesses, especially with that super fire control skill. Once you play it, you won’t want to switch to any other medium tank. If you haven’t tried it yet, jump in and experience it now!
