The developers continue to experiment with technology and bring to life the most daring projects that may seem ridiculous to one, and the second does not care and he will try to get an interesting tank to his Garage.
Hello tankers! With you Wotpack and a new tank at the supertest WZ-114 heavy Chinese tank of level 9. Initially, the developers wanted to make it a premium, but then they twisted it, turned it up, and threw it up a level, making it promotional.
TTX WZ-114
The main feature of 130 mm guns is sniper accuracy 0,33 per 100 meters and this is with alpha 530 units. Most single-level strands never dreamed of such indicators. At the same time, armor penetration by the base projectile is quite good for itself 268 mm, therefore it is not inferior to the pumped "dozens". Gold cumulatives are weaker, but then again, there are tier 10 tanks that are even worse with this.
Ammunition characteristics:
The shells have a fairly high flight speed, which gives us another advantage in firing at medium and long distances, it is convenient to take it ahead of time.
Retribution for the previous pluses of the tank is extremely long recharge 17 seconds and mixing time 3,6 seconds (like the KV-2, for example). In general, the tank will "bang" rarely, but aptly (if you had time to reduce beforehand and the WBR is on your side).
WZ-114 feels good at long range due to the accuracy of the gun and strong tower, which you can stick out somewhere because of the mounds, tanking and playing from excellent elevation angles -10/20 degrees.
Margin of safety one of the highest among the "nines", on the same level with the main mastodons among the strands - German and Japanese. The frontal armor of the hull, although not bad, but the VLD was raised a little high.
Mobility here to put it mildly. The specific power is low, it will not be possible to quickly accelerate, and the maximum speed itself leaves much to be desired. The turret's maneuverability and traverse speed are also mediocre, so in close combat it is important to choose a position in such a way as not to leave the enemy space for a "carousel", because any more or less mobile ST will be able to circle him.
Conclusion
In its concept, the tank is very similar to the Chinese premium ST T-122 TM (accuracy + breakdown and incredibly long cooldown).
WZ-114 is all the same assault heavy tank with strong frontal armor and poor mobility, but at the same time possessing an unusual accurate gun, as for its caliber. It is advisable to join the battle with the support of allies who will not allow the enemy to enter from the rear or rush during a long reload. If there is no one to rely on in the chosen direction, then it is better not to rush forward, but to play from the defensive at an average distance.
How to get (possible options)
The tank was urgently prepared for the exit in the next patch 1.15. He does not have time for the next "Hunt", and there were already plums about another tank, so most likely it is prepared in next season of Battle Pass or spring marathon. Of course, I would like some interesting activity for the New Year holidays, but it is unlikely that the developers will descend to something like this with tier 9 vehicles.
An interesting tank, for sure.
