The WZ-111 is a Chinese tier 8 premium heavy tank.
El desarrollo del prototipo de carro pesado sobre la base del IS-2 y el IS-3 soviéticos comenzó a primeros de los 60 bajo la influencia del T-10. Se suponía que el vehículo iba a modernizar las fuerzas armadas del PLA. Las pruebas revelaron múltiples fallos, y se abandonó el desarrollo del vehículo en 1964.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good alpha damage
- Strong frontal hull armor, Thicker or on par with counterparts
- 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
- Terrible side armor, only 80mm behind the tracks
Performance
Due to low accuracy you need to stay close to the combat. Strong armor usually bounce most of 7-8 HT's shells but TD's and 9 tiers can easily penetrate you and damage the ammo-rack. Try not to angle the hull too much on the WZ-111 as it is a pike nose; thus it will only weaken the strength of the upper plate. In addition, by reducing the angle you deny the enemy shots at your weak side armour. This gives the WZ-111 an advantage over the other Chinese premium heavy, the 112, which needs to be angled more due to its flat front armour.

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.
