A WZ-132 driver should avoid fighting autoloader tanks, especially the AMX 13 90 and the [[M41 Walker Bulldog|M41 Bulldog]] in any sort of brawl because of the latter's feared drum loader. Assuming neither tanks miss, they will be able to destroy or critically injure the WZ-132 in mere seconds. The key to beating an autoloader in the WZ-132 is to make use of the tank's agility, on the move accuracy, and sustained DPM. Staying at a distance (~50-100m) and keeping in motion when in an open area will often make the opponent miss their shot, while letting you fire accurately in return. Once their drum has been depleted, the WZ can easily kill it during its much longer reload time. Should most other tanks try to turn in a long curve, the WZ's superior agility will let it close the distance very fast. | A WZ-132 driver should avoid fighting autoloader tanks, especially the AMX 13 90 and the [[M41 Walker Bulldog|M41 Bulldog]] in any sort of brawl because of the latter's feared drum loader.

The WZ-132 is a Chinese tier 8 light tank.
The order for the WZ-132 tank was placed in 1964. The design was based on the WZ-131, but with the goal of enhancing firepower and armor protection. A few prototypes were built before the project was canceled in the late 1960s. All prototypes were destroyed during Chinese nuclear weapon testing.
The WZ-132 leads to the WZ-132A.

- Very good agility and mobility thanks to its amazing track traverse and acceleration
- Great "on-the-move"-accuracy, especially with a Vertical Stabilizer mounted. Comparable to T-54 ltwt.
- Excellent turret and hull traverse values makes fast circling and switching between targets easy
- Sloped frontal armor can lead to the occasional lucky bounce

Cons:
- Very prone to module damage
- Modules are very XP-expensive, especially the 100 mm 60-100T which rivals the XP cost of tier 8 heavies' top guns
- Lacking gun depression like many other high tier Chinese tanks
- Below average power-to-weight ratio compared to other tier 8 light tanks, though offset by very good terrian resistance value
- The 100mm guns have less-than-average DPM for a tier 8 light tank
Performance
A bit smaller, faster and stronger than its predecessor, the WZ-132 is sort of a medium tank among light tanks, combining firepower, agility and mobility. It is good or decent in all areas, but not excellent in any of them. It is suitable for all kinds of combat roles including long range combat (good accuracy and aim time), brawl (small profile and agility) and both passive (great camo value and view range) and active scouting (great speed and traverse.)
Other than missing a drum loader, the WZ-132 has a few benefits to the AMX 13 90 in some ways as a combat vehicle. Compared to the AMX 13 90, It's able to make sharper turns without losing speed, has a more accurate, slightly higher penetration and faster aiming gun, which is also more accurate when firing on the move. The tank also possess sloped frontal armor and turret, which might bounce enemy shells sometimes. However, the AMX 13 90 has the aforementioned autoloader (burst damage, very important with hit and run tactics) and a smaller profile (better camo rating/harder to hit).
The WZ-132 has a great gun choice. You can either play with the more well-rounded 85 mm 64-85TG or the more damage-oriented 100 mm 60-100T. Should you select the former your tank will be more accurate, and have a substantially better rate of fire and DPM. Should you select the latter, you will have more penetration, more alpha, and APCR instead of HEAT. The 85mm gun lets you play more in the role of an agile and accurate supporting light tank. The 100 mm lets you perform like a speedy but poorly armored medium.
A WZ-132 driver should avoid fighting autoloader tanks, especially the AMX 13 90 and the M41 Bulldog in any sort of brawl because of the latter's feared drum loader. Assuming neither tanks miss, they will be able to destroy or critically injure the WZ-132 in mere seconds. The key to beating an autoloader in the WZ-132 is to make use of the tank's agility, on the move accuracy, and sustained DPM. Staying at a distance (~50-100m) and keeping in motion when in an open area will often make the opponent miss their shot, while letting you fire accurately in return. Once their drum has been depleted, the WZ can easily kill it during its much longer reload time. Should most other tanks try to turn in a long curve, the WZ's superior agility will let it close the distance very fast.
However, with the addition of new light tanks, the WZ-132 has become less outstanding than it was. In terms of sniping, the RU 251 surpasses the WZ-132 in terms of RoF and DPM. In terms of brawling and flanking, the T-54 lightweight outshines the WZ-132 thanks to higher speed and heavy armor. While the WZ-132 in itself is by no means a bad tank, it is no longer a tank every light tank lovers crave for. However, the WZ-132 only has 1 major flaw: the poor gun depression. It has the best on-the-move gun handling in its class and tier, good accuracy, higher than average ammo capacity, second-best agility, high DPM (with 85mm gun), and effective gold rounds (with 100mm guns).
The WZ-132's character is much like the M26 Pershing. Well-rounded, and can contribute to the team under most circumstances. It is usually a scout, but can also be a fire support tank or lone tank killer when needed. While not as well-rounded as the T-54 lightweight due to low armor, the WZ won't embarrassingly fail its driver because it runs out of ammo.
Early Research
- The research plan depends on which gun you prefer on the WZ-131.
- If you use and prefer the 85mm 64-85T
- Mount your equipment, gun rammer, vstab etc and radio. It can hold 350kg of equipment and the new 85mm gun without upgrading the tracks or using enhanced suspension equipment.
- 85mm 64-85TG. Improves accuracy, penetration.
- Tracks. Improves agility, and gun stabilization. Also allows use of heavier modules.
- Turret. Improves RoF, DPM, view range and HP by a wanted bit.
- Engine. The lower weight is unnoticeable, but the much improved module durability isn't.
- Gun. Not that you must use it, but it makes the grind in the WZ-120 much easier. Also required to activate "Accelerated Crew Training" after researching the WZ-120.'
- If you use and prefer the 100mm 59-100T
- Mount radio.
- Spend 200k credits for enhanced suspension equipment and mount the 100mm 59-100T and other equipment you want. Or
Mount all equipment you want with the stock gun mounted, and grind out the tracks.
- Tracks if you use the enhanced suspension module.
- Turret
- New 100mm gun
- Engine.
