Supertest: WZ-114 Tier VIII Chinese Premium Heavy Tank
2 min readEver wanted a new Chinese Premium Tier VIII heavy tank? You will soon (2022) be able to get yet another one of those: WZ-114! The Tier VIII Chinese WZ-114 heavy tank has been sent to the closed Supertest. Yes, it’s fake and is aimed at the Chinese market!
The vehicle has a 122 mm gun which can cause 360 damage per shot. Its standard AP shells penetrate up to 208 mm, while the special HEAT shells can penetrate 270 mm of armour. It has an aiming time of 3.6 s and a reload time of 12 s.
However, its main distinguishing feature among heavy tanks of its tier is a good accuracy of 0.33, which allows for landing more precise shots at weak spots, as well as firing at enemy vehicles from a distance.
It has a top speed of 30 km/h, and specific power of 10.7 h.p./t. The frontal turret armour thickness reaches 300 mm, while the thickness of the hull is 125 mm. A large HP pool of 1,800 HP combined with good frontal armour improves the vehicle’s survivability on the battlefield.
The WZ-114 is a heavy tank with strong frontal armour, low speed, but excellent accuracy for a heavy tank. Confront enemies head-on, preferably supported by allies who do not allow mobile tanks to flank you or impose manoeuvrable battle tactics that favour them. Good accuracy opens up a relatively rare opportunity for heavy tanks to fight confidently at medium and long distances.
All characteristics are with a crew trained to 100% and subject to change before the final release.
I’m not waiting 3.6 seconds to aim any gun that isn’t field artillery.
Low alpha high accuracy ?? what a strange combination for a Chinese tank. I wonder how well it performs compared with Renegade.
Hull looks a bit like that of an IS-6?
Better frontally, worse on the sides, hull cheeks makes sidescraping.. questionable.
Turret reminds me of the STA series, except a wee bit more armoured, but rotates incredibly slowly.
And I wonder how weak the cupola is going to be, considering it’ll be somewhat easy to hit.
All-in-all, I doubt it’ll be as OP as the defender.
New info shows it becomes a Tier 9 with 530 alpha and 266/311 pen.
any idea how this is going to fall in the tech tree? Are we losing something or is this a premium?
Not as strange as a Chinese tank having 10° gun depression.
Its better than the techtree 110, so of course its a premium.
