China is diverse. It's a big country.
The north there is different from the south,
and the west has little in common with the east.
The same is true for the Chinese tank destroyers. The branch is diverse.
Ah...
The first vehicle is the T-26G FT. Not a bad TD for Tier II.
No armor, but there's concealment, and there's a gun.
Accurate and quick-firing, this TD performs well as a sniper,
but can also dismantle the enemy in close combat.
The next vehicle is the M3G FT. It's based on the Stuart light tank.
So it's fast and agile. It's played differently, depending on the gun.
The Chinese variant of the ZiS-2
has better armor penetration and damage per minute.
The ZiS-3 gun is more accurate and has higher damage per shot.
The SU-76G FT awaits players at Tier IV.
If you’ve researched the Soviet TDs, you might experience deja vu.
Its layout and gameplay are very similar to the SU-85B.
They have similar characteristics for the gun, armor, and view range.
The SU-76G is better played from the back line.
From there, it's convenient to use its accuracy and rate of fire.
The 60G FT differs from other Tier V TDs in two parameters.
The first is durability. Only the AT-2 has more hit points.
Unfortunately, it won't affect its gameplay much.
Its armor is weak and its size is big, so in order to survive,
it's better to stay as far away as possible and avoid being spotted.
Another feature of the 60G FT is damage per minute. It's the best at Tier V.
The gun is generally fine: solid damage per shot and good armor penetration.
This TD has a casemate at the rear.
There could be problems with gun depression angles.
But it’s okay: the gun depression angle is 8 degrees.
While the 60G FT has a lot of HP, the opposite is true for the WZ-131G FT.
It has the lowest amount of HP among all Tier VI vehicles.
How is this compensated?
Regular gun. Excellent concealment. Awesome mobility.
The WZ-131G FT should be perceived as a light tank
without the turret and view range. At the top of the list, it can not only
play the bushes, but also trade shots due to its good alpha strike.
In the middle of the list,
it's best to play the first half of a battle firing from behind the bushes.
And then use its great mobility to go finishing off the opponents.
When playing against Tier VIII vehicles, it's better to hide in the bushes
using the vehicle's concealment. If you want,
you can take out the artillery at the end of the battle.
In general, the WZ-131G FT is a very interesting vehicle.
The next TD is the T-34-2G FT.
It doesn't have a lot of hit points and it’s not well-armored.
But it has excellent concealment.
View range and mobility is above average. The gun is good as well.
The T-34-2G FT can hide in any bush, put on a Camouflage Net,
get out its Binocular Telescope, and fire at the enemy with impunity.
You should act differently in the town. Look for the weakest target,
roll out, and gun it down using your alpha damage.
And now we've come to the most powerful vehicles in the Chinese TD branch.
Tier VIII. The WZ-111-1G FT, a vehicle with the hull of the WZ-111 heavy tank
and the improved gun used in the WZ-111 model 5a.
Armor protection is above average. The casemate front withstands hits
from most Tier VI-VII vehicles and half of the Tier VIII vehicles.
Mobility is close to that of a heavy tank.
View range is standard. Concealment is average.
The gun. It doesn't have the highest accuracy or fastest aiming time.
But they are higher than expected
considering its damage per shot of 560 and armor penetration of 271 mm.
When the vehicle is at the top of the list,
a careful head-on skirmish with heavy tanks is what it needs.
You should play between the first and second lines of attack.
You may also try to push through a flank.
In a battle with Tier IXs and Xs, rushing forward is not a good idea.
The WZ-111G FT is an attempt of the Chinese engineers
to create a powerful TD in all parameters.
It has impressive size, leisurely pace, decent gun—
only the Strv 103-0 has a better gun at Tier IX—and thick armor.
You should hide the hull. However, the casemate front resists the hits
from guns with armor penetration less than 250 mm.
In this respect, it's one of the best among Tier IX tank destroyers.
The same ideas live on in the Tier X vehicle—WZ-113G FT.
This vehicle has impressive durability. 2,100 hit points.
Only the Jagdpanzer E 100 has more among all Tier X TDs.
The WZ-113G FT is well-armored.
From the front, it's protected by a 230-mm thick glacis plate.
The vehicle isn’t fast. It has average speed and maneuverability,
which isn’t surprising considering its size and protection.
Damage per shot is 750. This is standard for most Tier X tank destroyers.
Reload time, damage per minute, and armor penetration are normal.
Concealment is good for such a size.
There are different ways to play this TD.
It can push through flanks and fight actively on the front line.
It can also support the team from the second line,
playing from behind the bushes and scouting passively
with the help of Binocular Telescope. You can combine these tactics.
The WZ-113G FT is a diverse vehicle
that allows for acting on the battlefield depending on the situation.
The Chinese TDs have another excellent feature:
the number of crewmen is the same for all vehicles.
There won't be a situation where you have to add a rookie
to the trained specialists. This is convenient.
That’s all for now. Good luck on the battlefield!
