Lightweight tanks of China

China is the most unusual but not very original country that has not far removed from its habit of replicating everything that is possible, even when it comes to starting the creation of military vehicles that will protect China's lands from enemy invaders. To date, there is very little information on the account of Chinese military equipment, which took part in the battles of the Second World War, but thanks to Wargaming we can not only get acquainted with their history. But they can also ride on their virtual models.

A little bit about the technology of LT CHINA

So, in the game we were given 9 combat units of class LT , 2 units of which belong to the premium class of tanks. Throwing a glance at all models of tanks of this series, it immediately becomes clear that all such models of combat vehicles have already been run-through, only it was in the process of playing for other nations. Among all RT of China, one can meet similar tanks of France , the USSR , the USA and other nations. But despite the fact that they are similar in appearance, they are far from similar in technical parameters and combat effectiveness, albeit in a small proportion.

Lightweight tanks of China do not represent a super machine, which can immediately become bent. No, according to the game principle, they did not go far from their prototypes, thus changing some internal details. For example, Renault NC-31 , being a French copy , on the contrary improved its performance, replacing its engine with a more powerful one. Also it is possible to note М5A1 Stuart , the American development which after the Chinese processing became much better and more effectively. In particular, it's worth mentioning top-end RTs, which are located on 7 and 8 levels: it's WZ-131 and WZ-132 . These tanks are the only ones in the whole branch that used more than one combat model for the design, and a whole mixture of several combat vehicles than they could achieve good combat potential, but with the demand of a good manager, that is, a player. The only pity is that not all of the equipment has been awarded such positive influence. Vickers Mk. E Type B , Type 2597 Chi-Ha and 59-16 , are quite specific in their applications, but the premium technique allows only to accumulate silver, without the possibility to exert a significant influence on the battle process.

Features and disadvantages of LT CHINA

But, if you analyze the advantages and disadvantages of Chinese technology, then it immediately becomes clear that this military equipment requires a special approach to its application, since it has more minuses than pluses.

The first, the most significant and inconvenient minus is booking. Despite the fact that the LT class has a weak indicator in this respect, it is the Chinese version of LT that does not have the slightest chance of survival, even against similar in terms of the level of combat tanks.

The second disadvantage is the rather weak engines of most machines, which does not allow the full potential of the combat monster to be fully realized.

Well, the third disadvantage is weak guns, although with proper application, some models can do wonders in combat, but in terms of comparing all the equipment, the level of damage is quite small.

Among the pluses are the availability of a loading drum for some tanks, a high recharge rate and increased maneuverability.

Comparison of technique

As for comparing top models, namely WZ-131 and WZ-132, with other machines of similar level and other nations, China, unfortunately, does not constitute a competition at all. For comparison, French AMX 13 75 and AMX 13 90 , American T71 and German Aufklärungspanzer Panther fall . And if you are a good player, then the names of tanks will let you know what is at stake. Yes, in a duel these tanks are quite different in strength, but this is absolutely not a statement in terms of combat use. Remember this and do not get discouraged in advance.

Tactical application of RT CHINA

Light tanks are so banal that almost every member of this class has the same scenario of use in combat, which consists in covering the territory, finding possible places for passive light and searching for situations when it will be possible to call at the enemy from the stern and damage everything that is possible.

Chinese tanks are not far from this template, so if you have previously played on LT, then you will not have any problems with the application, since pan applications are almost identical to all other plans for the LT game.
