The WZ-111-1G FT is a Chinese tier 8 tank destroyer.
The development of the WZ-111-1G FT tank destroyer was based on the experience of the WZ-111 heavy tank creation. A prototype of the latter was produced in the early 1960s. It underwent running trials, which revealed a number of disadvantages in the vehicle's design, and the development of the WZ-111 was discontinued in 1964. The design of the WZ-111-1G FT shows the Soviet tank-building influence. There is no information about any produced prototypes.
The WZ-111-1G FT leads to the WZ-111G FT.

Performance
Compared to its predecessors, the WZ-111-1G FT is a significant shift in terms of playstyle in the Chinese line. First of all, it is based on a heavy tank chassis, unlike previous Chinese tank destroyers which are based on medium tanks. Hence, this tank is much larger, has worse top speed and agility, but is better armored and carries one of the most powerful guns available to Tier 8 vehicles.
First of all, this tank's survivability is abysmal. It has the lowest hitpoint pool among Tier 8 tank destroyers, with only the UDES 03 and the AMX AC Mle. 48 sharing this dubious honor. Its armor is also nothing spectacular - the frontal arc is good enough to bounce most lower tiered enemies, but against same tiers or upper tiers it breaks very easily, though surprising bounces are still possible, if rare. The sides and rear are, unsurprisingly, quite weak. These are significant weaknesses for what is essentially an "assault gun" TD.
The mobility is also a downgrade compared to the preceding tanks in the line. Being based on a heavy tank chassis, the WZ-111-1G FT has a decent but uninspiring top speed, and a similarly unimpressive hull traverse speed. It enjoys a good reverse speed though, in case it needs to quickly retreat, such as after firing a shot or being lit up by enemy tanks. Regardless, as a turretless and fairly large target it can easily fall victim of fast flankers, such as medium and light tanks.
Where the WZ-111-1G FT stands out is the firepower. It takes a truly brutal grind to unlock it, but the 130mm 59-130JG FT gun is the second strongest tank destroyer gun in Tier 8 in terms of hard stats. It's essentially a weaker, Chinese copy of the top 12,8cm gun found on the Tier 9 Jagdtiger - it enjoys massive alpha damage and overkill penetration for its tier, as well as a fairly decent accuracy for such a large gun, though its shell velocity and aim time are quite punishing and make sniping (something this tank will be forced to often do) fairly frustrating. The stock gun is unfortunately underpowered for its tier, and the second gun, while a significant improvement, is little more than a "grind gun".
Overall, the WZ-111-1G FT is a vehicle of extremes and one of the truer "glass cannons" among tank destroyers in its tier spread. Its massive firepower once upgraded is often hard to put to good use because the tank itself is so fragile, and the worse mobility compared to its predecessors can be an unwelcome experience for those who enjoyed the line so far.
