The Chinese tech tree is now live in World of Tanks! It is also Chinese New Year this month. That means it is time to focus upon China with our Tank of the Month feature. We have chosen the Tier VII light tank WZ-131 as a typical example of Chinese engineering. You’ll be able to enjoy a bonus on this vehicle all month long as well as learn all about its history and pick up some tips for playing it in game.

From 1st February at 06:10 CET (05:10 GMT) until 1st March at 06:00 CET (05:00 GMT), you’ll be able to enjoy 30% extra credits on the Chinese Tier VII light tank WZ-131.



History

The Chinese long focused on swift manoeuvrable vehicles. Rather than ploughing all their resources into building heavier and heavier vehicles like the western nations, they instead opted to pack as much punch into light skirmishing vehicles as possible. The Type 59 proved to be a success in this regard, and so the Chinese engineers started to look for ways to evolve the concept even further.

The Type 62 was the next generation of Chinese skirmishing vehicles. Several variants were produced – one of the more successful versions was known as the WZ-131.

The Type 62 was basically a cut down version of the Type 59. It had lighter armour, a smaller size and an 85 mm gun. The aim was for it to be a modern flexible machine capable of taking on infantry and other light vehicles.

Production began in 1958 and continued right up until 1989. Nearly 1,400 vehicles were produced during this time.

The tank first saw combat during the Vietnam War and were widely used by the Vietnam People’s Army. However, problems were encountered – the tank’s thin armour was simply too weak to withstand attacks, particularly by rocket-propelled grenades.

The tank was successfully exported to numerous nations across eastern Asia and Africa. Many Type 62 / WZ-131 tanks are still in service today, although in China, they are currently in the process of being decommissioned.

Playing Tips

The WZ-131 is a Tier VII light tank in the Chinese tech-tree. As a high tier light tank, its main function is for scouting and skirmishing. The tank can cruise at a nice 60 km/hour, meaning that whilst it is not the fastest vehicle on the battlefield, it has more than enough speed and manoeuvrability to perform all scouting tasks well.

The tank’s main weakness is its armour, which at 35 mm on the front is thin, even for a light tank! Try not to get hit, because it will be game over when you do.

In order to play this tank well, you’ll need to put all the tips for good scouting into action – look for the higher ground, stay out of sight of enemy vehicles, and see if you can get behind their lines to take out the artillery. Make sure that your radio and engine are fully upgraded – you’ll need them in order to be an effective scout!

Your speed is your advantage – use it wisely when fighting your opponents – your good manoeuvrability means that you won’t lose speed while turning.

Lower tier tanks make for easy prey, but try to stay clear of higher tier enemies. Nonetheless, your high damage per minute makes you dangerous for any opponent to encounter.

Look out for lone heavy tanks – you can take them out easily by circling around them to stay clear of their gun.

Start by picking off the enemy light tanks and then go hunting for artillery.

As far as equipment goes, you’ll want to take anything that helps with scouting – Binocular Telescope and Coated Optics are both good choices!

As usual, you will need to improve the suspension if you want to mount the top gun. However, the improved suspension does give you a boost in traverse speed – as manoeuvrability is your key asset as a scout, any bonus you can get is a good thing.

The stock engine is only Tier V and hence is somewhat underpowered. Upgrading to the Tier VIII engine is recommended as soon as possible. Although your maximum speed won’t be affected, you’ll instantly see the difference when climbing up hills or crossing uneven terrain! Swift movement is essential for you.

A good radio is absolutely essential for scouting. You want the highest signal range you can get so that your whole team, including the artillery tucked right at the back can see the vehicles that you have spotted! The top radio provides a boost in signal range that should be sufficient to cover most maps.

There is very little difference between the two turrets in terms of stats. Visually, the only difference is that the improved turret has a machine gun on the top.


However, the top turret is on the tech tree path leading to the top guns and to the next vehicle. You’ll need to research and equip it as part of the natural progression through the tech-tree.

The stock gun suffers from low damage and penetration, but it does have an extremely fast rate of fire. It may be a peashooter, but it fires those peas very quickly!

The next three 85 mm guns offer a fairly solid progression in terms of penetration, damage and accuracy. You’ll need to work through them to get to the next vehicle anyway, so you may as well equip them as you go!

The top gun is 100mm and offers a substantial increase in damage. Be warned though, this comes at the cost of firing speed and accuracy. It’s perhaps a matter of taste whether one prefers the slower but higher-damage 100 mm gun, or the quicker, lower-damage 85 mm 64-85T.



That’s it, Commanders! Celebrate Chinese New Year in style and roll out with the Chinese tanks throughout February!

 

Hehehhehehehe I done smth like you are talking about with me IS-3. I had enought free exp to have best parts from first battle

 

ARL is winnig this pool now Give you vote for better tank

 

I must say that this tank is preety owsome Graet mobility and fire power

You Guys must to see this

Media | World of Tanks

 

Its soo amazing Hehehehehhehe

 

I've got 24 of those, but I don't really value this medal much. Anyone that gets lucky in one game can get it

 

Wasn't there another topic out here exactly the same as this one? xD
Anyway, I believe I said it then and I'll repeat it now too
Old PzIV > t-34 > New PzIV
unless you use gold ammo and 10.5cm gun on PzIV, in that case it becomes

(New PzIV = M4 Sherman) >>>>>>>>>>> rest of tier 5

 

well to be honest, that's how free xp should be used, getting all tank parts as soon as possible, not skipping tanks. But in case of lofail, it was either free xp to bat chat, or mental hospital. I think I picked the better option

 

Aliens vs Predator 3

 

smart guy

 

yeah Pz IV

 

I checked and I have 39

 

Fighter like always and every game

Kataclysmic Confrontation!
Someone or something has summoned a horde of cursed black kats into the Clockworks. These shadowy beasts hunger for arcane power and raided the Moorcroft Manor Archives' precious collection of magical grimoires.
In the wrong hands these ancient tomes could be kata- er, catastrophic, but it turns out that black kats can't read, so they instead decided to just eat them.
The residents of Moorcroft Manor would like you to retrieve the Ancient Pages of the magical grimoires that quite likely reside in the stomachs of black kats. We'll leave you to figure out just how to recover them...
Event Overview
Kataclysmic Confrontation is a new event that will run for a limited time but will return again some time in the future. The goal of the event is to collect Ancient Page tokens for all-new kat gear in Moorcroft Manor. The event is available for knights rank 4-1 and up.
Ancient Page tokens can be acquired in two ways:
- Completing the daily Prestige Missions and receiving them as mission rewards
- Receiving them as drops from black kat monsters in missions or the Arcade
Black kats are a new monster that focus on powerful curse attacks. They can randomly be found in place of any spookat-type monster in any Tier 2 and Tier 3 level level of the Clockworks (Missions and Arcade Gates). Black kats often drop Ancient Page tokens (1 token in Tier 2, 3 tokens in Tier 3).
*This event is scheduled to end on February 13th.*
Moorcroft Manor Additions
Moorcroft Manor is now outfitted with the Moorcroft Archives, a special library of ancient grimoires. Unfortunately just as soon as it opened it was raided by a mysterious swarm of black kats and its up to you to help restore it.
New Features:
- Pembrooke, the spookat caretaker of the Moorcroft Archives
- Montague, the Historic Preservation Motivator. Montague is a token trader that exchanges rewards for Ancient Page tokens
- Moorcroft Alchemy Station, where Kat Gear can be crafted
- There's also definitely something up with the Konjuring Kat. Maybe if you had the right item...
New Kat Gear
All-new gear can be acquired through participation in the event. This gear can be obtained from Montague in Moorcroft Manor and via the Moorcroft Alchemy Station. It includes:
- Kat Claw Hood (3* helm)
- Kat Claw Mask (4* helm)
- Kat Claw Cowl (5* helm)
- Kat Eye Hood (3* helm)
- Kat Eye Mask (4* helm)
- Kat Eye Cowl (5* helm)
- Kat Hiss Hood (3* helm)
- Kat Hiss Mask (4* helm)
- Kat Hiss Cowl (5* helm)
- Kat Tribe Fetish (4* material)
Remember, the only way to claim this new gear is by hunting down black kats and collecting those Ancient Page tokens. So equip yourself with curse-resistant gear and get hunting!
Guild Hall Features
A new feature is now available for Guild Halls, 'themes' and 'environments.' Both allow your Guild Hall to stand out and give it a totally new feel!
Themes change the lighting, walls, floor, fog and background of the Guild Hall. Available themes include:
- Default Theme
- Blast Furnace Theme
- Cooling Chamber Theme
- Wasteworks Theme
- Power Complex Theme
- Spooky Theme
Environments change the weather and other ambient effects of the Guild Hall. Available environments include:
- Default Environment
- Falling Embers Environment
- Rain Shower Environment
- Snowfall Environment
Additional Feature Changes
- The prices of many Guild Hall expansions, rooms and furnishings have been reduced. Simply 'publish' in Design Mode to get the new upkeep rates.
- 3D models now appear in the tooltips for weapons and gear.
- The party configuration interface in the Missions and Adventure Board has been revamped.
- Interfaces for learning recipes and transmuting items has been refined.
- More icons have been added to the minimap for improved town navigation.
- The Chaos Cloak and Chaos Cowl have been buffed.
Lastly, please be advised: should you find any kind of whole ancient codex or grimoire from a black kat in the darkest depths of the Clockworks, you are to under no circumstances give it to anyone who could use it for EVIL.
