Crew

The crew of the VZ 121 tank in the WOT consists of the Commander, the Gunner, the Driver Mechanic, Charging (he is also a Radiist). The entire crew is encouraged to learn the skill

"Repair" at the initial stage. The further choice of perks to the team depends on you and your style of play.

Advantages

First of all, the VZ121 tank has excellent running characteristics - at a speed of 56/20 km / h and a turn of the hull of 50 ° / s, it can compete on an equal footing in speed and maneuverability with an aircraft of its level.

Secondly, the 12-millimeter gun 60-122TG installed on the machine is one of the most powerful guns (penetration: 268/400/68, damage: 440/440/530) of guns mounted on CT 10 left. Also, the rate of fire of the gun did not disappoint - the gunner manages to reduce the sight for 2.7s, while the overall rate of fire is 6.25 shots / min. A shot from this gun will be very noticeable to machines with good armor and is practically critical for LT.

And finally, another distinctive feature of the 121 is its excellent frontal armor - 120 mm on the body and 240 mm on the tower.

Weak sides

To the weak sides of the tank 121 can be attributed rather inconvenient location of his gun and its rotation mechanism, because of which shooting at certain angles of inclination is almost impossible.

Fuel tanks are located on poorly-protected, you can say the open areas of the hull, which increases the chance of fire from hitting an enemy shell. During the battle, it is advisable to cover the vulnerable section of the hull, or rather the entire rear part of the enemy shells into it.

Cover the rear part is also recommended for the reason that the armored plates at the stern are relatively thin compared to the skin of the sides and the front part.

Fighting tactics

Since the WZ-121 has both positive characteristics like CT (speed and maneuverability) and heavy (armor and damage from the gun), it can be used in two styles:

Support for heavy tanks in urban conditions - the accuracy and power of the 12-millimeter gun and armoredness of the whole body will allow you to keep on an equal footing and lead long-running battles with enemy TTs. Shooting from inclined hills or from inclined positions is not recommended - gun 121 does not "take" large angles of guidance
  2. Work in the ST link - during the breakthrough of the tank units consisting of CT, the Chinese tank wz 121 will be able to play a good role in the capture and attack of the enemy. The main thing do not forget to substitute the front armor of the tower / hull and do not fire on enemy vehicles from inclined terrain.
