China Tanks World Of Tanks

The popularity of Chinese tanks in World of Tanks

At the moment, the Chinese machinery is the youngest in the game (except for a premium Type 59) and is in good demand. After the upgrade, with the introduction of Chinese technology, it has become the most popular (and it usually occurs after entering the new tanks - their popularity has increased against the background of other equipment). China Tanks - is a continuous copying other nations tanks (nothing to do - so historically), and often a very good copy of the tanks. But not all Chinese are simple copies of the tanks, there is this nation's own machines based on the machines of the Soviets , for the most part. This is a good experience and as a result we have improved the tanks of the USSR. The top of the machine - the most popular, as well as many others, but they are a little separated from the rest of the tanks of its dynamism, rebound armor and guns.

Advantages and disadvantages of Chinese tanks

As already mentioned, the Chinese tank building developed by copying tanks of different nations. Accordingly, they have "collector" advantages and disadvantages of various techniques of different nations. But mainly in the Chinese looked through the pros and cons, similar to the Soviets. To clarify the pros and cons of technology delve into the history of the Chinese tank development.

A little history

In 1937, Japan started the war with China, which lasted until 1945. During this war, both sides of the tanks purchased from other states or captured each other in battle (who is stronger, and sneakers). Procuring the British , French and Soviet tanks most.

In Britain, China purchased Vickers. The French China bought no less famous car - Renault FT 17. This tank can be called an outstanding phenomenon, since it is there an arrangement was first used, which later became a classic: the engine in the rear of the machine, the central location of the crew compartment and the instrument is placed in a fully rotating turret.

Since China was at war with Japan was inevitable emergence of China in the army a certain number of captured tanks that State.
With the onset of World War II tanks replenished assortment of Chinese American M5. As part of the Lend-Lease these tanks were supplied to China is quite respectable amounts. In the game, they are presented with a less rich selection of tools (no fugasnitsa), but the main gun 47 mm Gun Type 1 is superior to your original for damage and penetration.

Then China entered into a contract with the USSR for the supply tanks. After the Second World War, the Soviet Union and China were so friendly relations, Chinese leaders have directly asked the Soviet Union to help with the upgrade of armored park of the country. As China began to enter the IS-2 tanks, the T-34-85, T-34 self-propelled anti-tank installation of SU-100 and IS heavy tanks. But the real date of birth of the Chinese tank development as a fully independent, to be considered in 1957, when the Soviet Union sold to China a few copies of the T-54 and technical documentation on its production. These copies, both in history and in the game did not differ too much from the original. Then, based on these machines, China began to produce its own armor.

And now back to the advantages and disadvantages on the basis of historical significance.

• Unequivocal advantage of Chinese tanks should be called cannons. They are similar councils have much damage, but the difference is that most of the guns have excellent penetration. Also to the pluses include the book housing (large angles and "pike nose" in some machines, which gives a greater likelihood of rebound or no penetration). The strongest armor in the Chinese tower. It has the highest booking figures, streamlined and so it is very difficult, almost impossible to break it. Also, the Chinese art positive dynamics, which gives it an edge on the battlefield.
  
• The downside is the traditional Soviet view and vertical angle pickup guns (bad omitted from abroad especially not to shoot).
  

overall

Technique is stretched on a primary branch of the WoT: light tanks. Then it diverges into three areas.

light tanks

The first light tanks in China's development of this branch are copies of different nations, but still have clear differences in the armor and guns. All differences, classification and "zoo" of tanks of different nations goes to Type T-34. Before him go only light tanks with different guns and a good armor. Guns are good indicators broneprobitiya and damage. Armor is quite strong by itself, without any slopes. Since the type of T-34, there is a copy of Soviet tanks and attempts to build / develop their own ideas. With the type of T-34, there is a branch on the light tanks to 59-16 on the WZ-132 (China's development is almost completely), and a second branch - is the development of medium tanks with Type 58 (Soviet T-34-85) on the T-34-2 (t-34-1 and t-34-2 were already China's own development, with some using the "type 58" of experience). Both branches lead to the masthead and a very interesting medium tanks WZ-120 (the same T-54) and 121 machines maneuverable, with good tools and cheaper to maintain than their Soviet originals. With the Type 58 also departs a branch on the heavy tanks IS-2 (the same Soviet IP), 110 (the beginning of the Chinese tank production), the WZ-111 model 1-4 (a copy of the EC-3) and 113 (a tank, based on the average tank).

result

Chinese equipment is quite attractive for the game. Heavy and medium tanks have good armor and guns, medium tanks, and also have the dynamics, and light tanks have both dynamics and excellent gun. The top light tanks may well be used in the manner of medium tanks, actively move to a common group, but you can actively fight and shine. Medium tanks are quite good both individually and in the "pack" and can become a serious problem for any kind of technology. Heavy tanks of China and not the slowest because of their armor and weapons can keep the direction, even if the enemy outnumbers combat vehicles.

As a result, we can say that even the car and were copies, but the Chinese engineers of the time and date, developers World of Tanks game tried to be nice and even copies were a bit better than the originals. It is advisable to pump the Chinese branch, if you're a fan of Soviet tanks, to feel the power of the Chinese tank development.
