After the development of the WZ-132 light tank was finished, a line was drawn and the project proved to be too technical for the Chinese army to produce at the time. As a result, the Chinese army command proceeded to implement the WZ-132 mechanisms in Chinese tanks already in use, the base vehicle chosen being eventually the Type 62 tank. The new modernised variant was named Type 62-I, and was a result of the experience gathered during the Sino-Vietnamese War. Also known under its industrial designation, WZ-131A, it featured 33 different improvements including an external double lens laser range finder mounted above the mantlet of the 85 mm Type 62-85TC rifled main gun for better firing accuracy and a shield for the 12.7 mm Type 54 anti-aircraft heavy machine gun. A late model of the Type 62-I was fitted with external turret storage racks and hull sideskirts for additional protection against HEAT projectiles and anti-tank missiles. This is the model known in-game as WZ-132-1. | After the development of the WZ-132 light tank was finished, a line was drawn and the project proved to be too technical for the Chinese army to produce at the time.

The WZ-132-1 is a Chinese tier 10 light tank.
The Chinese experimental vehicle that united various Type 62 modernization projects. The name is conventional. No prototypes were built.
One of the ideal "Light Mediums" in WoT, it has quite reasonable protection (and a lot better than others LT's) with a very tough turret and all-around spaced armor to effectively protect it from HEAT and HESH rounds. This tank is excelled at fire supporting role, as well as taking some punishment with its turret armor before retreating.
The WZ-132-1 marks the end of its Chinese light line.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Very strong turret armor, can making use of some cover and bouncing several incoming shots with reliability
- Side skirt and "cage" around the turret can protect against HEAT and HESH shots effectively
- Great acceleration and speed
- Fast turret traverse speed and overall agility, good at snapshots
- Small silhouette with decent camo values
Cons:
- Hull armor is quite poor
- Horrible gun depression and awful accuracy
- Modules often get damaged
- Somewhat uncompetitive gun after the Sheridan and AMX 13 105 also received 390 alpha damage (though they have their own flaws in other aspects)

It should be noted that the tank known as WZ-132-1 in-game is not a variant of the WZ-132 tank, as it was deemed too technical to produce, but rather a late model of a modernised Type 62 variant known as Type 62-I or WZ-131A.
- The first Type 62s to be armed with the 105 mm L7 was in 2000. This variant, which had a welded flat-plate turret incorporating an improved spaced and possibly composite armor with four smoke grenade dischargers on each side, was known as the Type 62G. The 105 mm gun configuration on the WZ-132-1 is fake.
- Historical 85 mm 64-85T gun is missing.
