The WZ-132A is a Chinese tier 9 light tank.
Further development of the WZ-132 project. The main difference was supposed to lie in a shorter vehicle chassis. Engineers wanted to combine high mobility and firepower. A prototype passed trials in the late 1960s, but the project was discontinued. The vehicle never saw mass production; the prototype did not survive to the present day.
The WZ-132A leads to the WZ-132-1.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Excellent Alpha and penetration for a tier 9 light tank.
- Modest handling.
- Decent speed and acceleration for a tier 9 light.
- Enough armor to pull off auto-ricochets
- Painless grind, stock it's basically a WZ-132 from the last patch
Cons:
- Poor gun depression compared to others, on par with T-54 ltwt.
- Terrible accuracy compared to other 9 lights, will miss many shots even when fully aimed.
- Modest handling meaning that it may take some time after moving to fully aim.
- Lower DPM than other lights make it difficult to pull off successful one-on-ones.
Performance
The tank performs much like a tier 9 medium with less armor and more speed. It's 2400 DPM can be a challenge as far as getting damage quick is concerned, but overall the alpha damage makes up for this. Play it more passively than it's counterparts as they are all faster than you are, despite your decent hp/T ratio. Take advantage of flanks and reloads to abuse the high alpha and leave opponents wondering why they gave a tier 9 light tank a tier 8 heavy tank's gun.
Early Research
- Only the radio carries over from the previous tank, mount that now.
- Upgrading anything else would require the top tracks unless you don't mount any equipment that weighs.
- After researching & mounting the tracks (or substitute with ETB 3t class equipment), grind straight for the top gun.
- The top engine is optionally because the engine power only increases from 29.3 to 32.1, which is manageable.
- Go from there.

Historical Accuracy Errata
It should be noted that the tank known as WZ-132A in-game is not a variant of the WZ-132 tank, as it was deemed too technical to produce, but rather an early model of a modernised Type 62 variant known as Type 62-I or WZ-131A.
- Historical 85 mm 64-85T gun is missing.
