▲ C series "Ichiya"
Hello World of Tanks players, on the battlefield of World of Tanks, there is a unique C-series tank destroyer WZ120-1G, which has attracted wide attention from commanders with its unique design and powerful firepower, and is also called "C-series brother" by many players. Not only does it have excellent mobility, but it also has an incredible rate of fire, making it a formidable assault weapon on the battlefield. How to give full play to the advantages of WZ120-1G? This article will introduce you to the performance of WZ120-1G in games.
Tank fire
▲ WZ120-1G equipped with artillery
In the game, the WZ120-1G is equipped with a 122 mm caliber 60-122TG FT A main gun, which has 440 HP of alpha damage, which is an advantage over many tank destroyers of its class. The armor-piercing shell of the main gun of the tank has a penetration depth of 248/310 mm, the standard ammunition is AP shells, and the flight speed of 1000 m/s, which has a good utility in actual combat, and it is not very necessary to fire special ammunition frequently, which is important for gold tanks that need to earn silver coins. The WZ120-1G has a very fast reload speed, which can be reloaded in only 9.4 seconds, and the DPM reaches 2809, which is still quite high. The artillery firing range of the tank is 10 degrees to the left and right, and the gun depression angle is 6 degrees, so it is necessary to pay attention to the influence of the terrain in actual combat.
▲Good at close-quarters combat
The WZ120-1G's firepower is extremely powerful, not only does it have relatively high damage per shot, but it also has a fast rate of fire from its main gun, and as long as it can catch the output opportunity, it will launch a fierce bombardment on the enemy. However, the accuracy of the main gun of the WZ120-1G is not good, the aiming time is relatively long, and the artillery circle expansion is relatively average, which requires the tank to control the distance from the enemy, and it is best not to shoot at a long distance, otherwise the shell will easily miss the target. The limitations of the firing range and depression angle also make it necessary for WZ120-1G players to familiarize themselves with the combat style of a turretless tank destroyer.
Tank survivability
▲ Melee with enemies if necessary
The WZ120-1G is a turretless tank destroyer with a base health of 1100 points, and the design of the tank is similar to that of some S-series tank destroyers, but it is more aggressive, using large-angle armor to compose its fighting compartment and hull. The thickness of the frontal base of the WZ120-1G fighting compartment is 120 mm, and with a relatively large tilt angle, the equivalent of the frontal AP bullet has reached about 210 mm. With the help of some sloping terrain, it can even "sell its head" and lure enemies into attacking the upper part of its equivalent thickness. In this state, the equivalent thickness of the frontal armor in the upper part of its fighting compartment could even exceed 240 mm. The tank's shield is very thick and can deflect many shells.
▲The side defense of the body is poor
The WZ120-1G's flank-rear defense is more average, after all, the tank is based on the hull of a medium tank. The thickness of the base of the armor plate under the head of the hull is only 80 mm, and the equivalent of the AP shell is about 135 mm. The WZ120-1G's hull side armor is only 60 mm, and the tank does not have side skirts, which makes it easy to penetrate the sides of its hull, and it is better not to expose the hull to the enemy in real combat. Once you are "broken leg and lose blood", you will also be in trouble. Overall, the WZ120-1G's survivability is passable, but it is not suitable for fighting alone, or entering a point where heavy tanks gather, and can easily be carried away by concentrated fire.
Maneuver, Visibility and Concealment
▲The maneuverability of the WZ120-1G is good
Due to the basing on a medium tank chassis, the WZ120-1G showed good mobility. Its engine actually reached 640 hp, its own weight was only 36 tons, and the tank's unit power reached a good 17.78 hp/ton. The WZ120-1G also has a forward top speed of 50 km/h, a reverse top speed of 20 km/h, and its track terrain drag coefficient is no problem. The most noteworthy thing is that the body of the WZ120-1G rotates very fast, which makes it impossible for the common light and medium tanks to "go around and kill". The tank's 380-meter field of view is not bad for a Tier VIII tank destroyer, and the base concealment value of 23.09% is also good.
Field Modification & Accessories Reference
▲ Tank Field Modification Reference
Upgrading the WZ120-1G Field Modification to max level grants an additional -3% shell dispersion when the hull is rotated. Performance modifications can be considered with the option of enhanced suspensions, sighting polish, and right-angle periscopes, depending on the player's fighting style. In terms of accessories, players can choose from a bomb loser/turbocharger/improved rotating device/improved sight/advanced optical sight to improve the combat efficiency of the WZ120-1G. WZ120-1G has the following advantages and disadvantages:
- Extremely high rate of fire with DPM
- Qualified main gun damage per shot with penetration
- Nice tank survivability
- Good tank mobility
- The depression angle of the main gun is relatively average
The WZ120-1G is a very unique "assault vehicle", unlike the previous TD, which is good at sniping enemies from a distance, the WZ120-1G is more like a medium tank with no turret.
▲C series assault vehicle
Superior mobility, combined with a powerful 122mm gun with a very high rate of fire, combined with good defense, makes the WZ120-1G perfectly capable of striking with medium tanks and delivering unexpected blows to the enemy on the front lines of battle. However, you should always be careful not to fall into a situation of fighting alone, and the WZ120-1G with broken tracks is still quite vulnerable. You can get the WZ120-1G from the Sale Shop, Gold Tank Trade-in Event, and the in-game tech tree, so if you're familiar with its combat style, don't miss it.
