The WZ-131G FT is a Chinese tier 6 tank destroyer.
A project for a tank destroyer based on the Type 62 tank also known as WZ-131. The vehicle was developed in 1963. Like the basic vehicle, this tank destroyer was designed to fight in the mountainous and boggy areas of South China with multiple bridges. There is no information about any produced prototypes.
The WZ-131G FT leads to the T-34-2G FT.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- 85mm stock gun's DPM is the same as it was on the Tier V TD but the tank itself makes using it much easier
- 100mm top gun has good overall specs with respectable penetration, accuracy; good aim time and DPM
- Excellent fully-upgraded overall mobility and agility, reaches top speed with relative ease, unlike the SU-100
- Low profile, good concealment values
- Very good reverse speed, even when stock
Cons:
- 85mm stock gun has subpar penetration with AP shells and low shell velocity; more costly HEAT rounds don't guarantee success on properly angled tanks
- Being based on a Type 62 the tank has little armor, but a very few ricochets might occur up front
- Lowest health pool of all Tier VI TD's, can't afford to receive shots
- Bad view range, limiting its use as passive scout
- Mediocre gun clearance in both vertical and horizontal planes
- Very bad maneuverability when stock
Performance
Game play-wise the WZ-131G FT shares a lot of similarities with Swedish Ikv 65 and German Nashorn -- they all have well-rounded mid-caliber guns but low survivability. While the Ikv adapts to irregular terrain better and the Nashorn sports the fearsome "long 88", the WZ-131G FT keeps in accordance with the Chinese design philosophy of combining heavy firepower with a mobile platform. The 62-85TG FT main gun is no longer hampered by the 60G FT's flaw in size and really shows its damage potential (though requires some HEAT rounds to deal with well-armored tanks, which appears more frequently as this tank sometimes faces Tier VIII's) during the stock grind. The 59-100TG FT gun might appear unsatisfying on its original host, the Type 59, but facing enemies two tiers lower it will be no less deadly than any peers. With good accuracy, penetration and rate of fire combined, this gun is more than capable of dishing out whopping amounts of damage from distance while staying hidden safe and sound.
The crew layout -- Commander (Radio Operator), Gunner, Driver, Loader -- is compatible with these premiums: 114 SP2, WZ-120G FT, and WZ-120-1 FT (and its FL variant); all five tanks can use the exact same crew without penalty.
Overall, the WZ-131G FT can be described as mobile supporter-sniper, essentially a SU-100M1 tiered down, and without its head-scratching problem of rear mounted gun or tall profile.
