The WZ-111 is a Chinese tier 8 premium heavy tank.
Development of the heavy tank prototype on the basis of the Soviet IS-2 and IS-3 began in the early 1960s under the influence of the T-10. The vehicle was supposed to modernize the armored forces of the PLA. The trials revealed multiple faults, and the development of the vehicle was discontinued in 1964.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good alpha damage
- Strong frontal hull armor, very strong turret
- High top speed
- High penetration with HEAT shells
- Preferential matchmaking (Tier 9 maximum)
Cons:
- Terrible aiming time and accuracy
- Low gun depression (only 5°)
- Very weak frontal lower plate
- Ammo rack is often damaged
Performance
Due to low accurancy you need to stay close to the combat but great alpha damage allows you to detrack enemies in one shot. Strong armor usually bounce most of 7-8 HT's shells but TD's and 9 tiers can easily penetrate you and damage ammo-rack.

Design features
Flaws that were found during initial tests including a heavy and very cramped turret interior, insufficient armor on the hull, and a weak and unreliable engine that was struggling to propel the overall mass of the vehicle. Most of the technology used in the WZ-111 were copies of earlier, close to obsolete Soviet solutions. Turret design was cast steel with welds on the roof area fitted with two crew hatches and a commander's periscope. Suspension consisted of seven road wheels with internal shock absorbers, three support rollers, and a drive sprocket positioned at the rear with a removable ring gear and guide wheel. The transmission was similar to the one in the IS series, and featured a multi-disc dry main clutch, eight gear transmission with dual, planetary rotation mechanism, and a final drive. The engine was a Chinese made unlicensed copy of the B11 diesel, with the maximum power output at 520 horsepower. Maximum speeds achieved during tests was 35 km/h. The body was made from welded plates, with a thickness of 13, 120, 90 and 60 mm. The test prototype was preserved and today is placed on permanent display in the Chinese Tank Museum located near Beijing.
