Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Painless stock grind if the first 85mm gun and the top engine has been researched from the Type 58 (or if free XP is used)
- Very fast and nimble; easily maintains at least 45 km/h even when making wide turns
- Consistent and good gun upgrades, most of which carry on to the WZ-132
- 100mm top gun is same as on the Type 59
- Last 85mm gun has over 2100 base DPM with acceptable penetration and good aiming time
Cons:
- 100mm top gun has below average rate of fire, bad aiming time and accuracy
- Prone to multiple module and crew damage due to modules being cramped together; ammo rack is weak and explodes easily without Save Stowage
- Poor gun depression
- Long grind to unlock all modules
Performance
The stock WZ-131 is played as a scout until you get the guns upgraded and mounted. It is a fast, low profile light tank that has the gun and speed to deal a good sum of damage on the run. Play the tank as a light medium. It is a good passive scout, but that is not recommended on most maps. Because the WZ-131 has speed and maneuvers quite well, it is a good support/flanking tank.
Your speed is your advantage – use it wisely when fighting your opponents – your good maneuverability means that you lose very little speed while turning and you can easily circle lone heavy tanks or tank destroyers with poor turret and/or track traverse.
Keep in mind that the WZ-131 is "not" a scout, but more of a speedy medium with the camouflage bonus of a Light tank. Spotting targets for the team is still just as useful as before, but when you're in the WZ you must never forget that you have a gun with enough penetration to go through the front of all Tier VII Heavy tanks with ease, so don't be afraid to add some firepower of your own to the board when you get the chance. Don't let yourself end up in bad situations however, the powerful gun on this light tank doesn't compensate for the lack of armor. Even though this tank isn't one of the taller vehicles in game, it's profile from the front and sides is quite wide, making it an easy target for the enemy to hit, so it is essential to use nearby cover to your advantage.
Early Research
- If you've researched the Type 58's top gun and top engine, you can install both of them on the stock WZ-131 without needing any suspension upgrades. The 85mm gun is pretty much a must as the WZ-131 comes stock with the 59-16's top gun which has only 85mm penetration, just short of catastrophic for any Tier VII vehicle that doesn't have the HE punch of an SPG.
- If you haven't researched the 85mm gun and engine from the Type 58, then welcome to Chinese hell.
The first thing to do is to get the 85mm gun. There are two choices here; either you can go back to the Type 58 and research it from there which is much easier on both your temper and your in-game wallet, or you can try to be a scout until you've gathered enough XP. Once you've got the 85mm gun, you should get the upgraded engine as it is 21% more powerful than the stock engine and will give your mobility and acceleration a decent buff.
- Once you've got both the top engine and the first 85mm gun, it's a pretty straight shot towards the 100mm gun. If you don't like it, don't mount it, the important thing is that you research it so that you've got it ready when you get the WZ-132. The stock radio is decent enough, but it is recommended to get the next radio, remember, the WZ-131 is a tier 7 scout so it will see tiers 7-10. the radio comes in handy. The stock suspension is enough for most stock equipment and upgraded guns/turret, but it is recommended to get the next suspension .Things to know about the 100mm gun,the 100mm has a slow reload, so it is recommended to equip a Medium-Caliber Tank Gun Rammer.

Historical Info
The Type 62 was the next generation of Chinese skirmishing vehicles. Several variants were produced – one of the more successful versions was known as the WZ-131.
The Type 62 was basically a cut down version of the Type 59. It had lighter armour, a smaller size and an 85 mm gun. The aim was for it to be a modern flexible machine capable of taking on infantry and other light vehicles.
Production began in 1958 and continued right up until 1989. Nearly 1,400 vehicles were produced during this time.
The tank first saw combat during the Vietnam War and were widely used by the Vietnam People’s Army. However, problems were encountered – the tank’s thin armour was simply too weak to withstand attacks, particularly by rocket-propelled grenades.
The tank was successfully exported to numerous nations across eastern Asia and Africa. Many Type 62 / WZ-131 tanks are still in service today, although in China, they are currently in the process of being decommissioned.
