The WZ-120 is a [[中國|]] tier 9 中型戰車.
起初，WZ-120（Type 59）是一輛設計來模仿蘇聯 T-54A 中型戰車的車輛。但此戰車在後續修改中獲得了升級。自 1958 年到 1987 年間，所有型號一共製造了 6,000 至 9,500 輛。
The WZ-120 is very similar to its Soviet counterpart, the T-54, and the play style is also comparable to the Type 59. While the WZ-120 may be similar to the T-54, the T-54 has better hull armor. The final gun of the WZ-120 has second best damage and penetration of tier IX medium tanks.
The WZ-120 leads to the 121.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good mobility
- Strong turret front
- Somewhat bouncy frontal hull armor
- Strong top gun (best characteristics in damage and penetration among all tier IX mediums, excluding the Centurion 7/1)
- Excellent camouflage
Cons:
- Very expensive upgrades especially if you didn't finish the Chinese heavy line.
- If you're coming from Chinese medium line, you need to research two tier IX guns (45 000 exp and 59 000 exp) and one tier X gun (59 000 exp) to elite the tank.
- Essentially no gun depression, which can be extremely aggravating, especially oh hilly maps.
- In addition all higher tier guns have slow aiming time.
- Needs to be on a mostly level surface to shoot anything possible while exposing your weak hull armor.
Performance
- The WZ-120 outperforms many tanks of its tier, and gives same tier medium tanks stiff competition due to its excellent top gun and mobility. However, like the T-54, getting the WZ-120 "fully upgraded" takes time and patience, but it is well worth the grind. Because of this tank's good mobility, speed, and powerful gun, it is a formidable opponent against many of its tier 9 counterparts.
- This tank can be used in a number of ways according to your play style from which line you came up from. It has less max and traverse speed than the WZ-132, but still a good top and traverse for a tier 9 medium, making a well rounded tier 9 tank for most players.
- Its armor is not very impressive, but the stock and upgraded turrets have enough armor to bounce many shots. The hull armor is only 100mm, but with the slope of the frontal armor, you can bounce a few shots if you know how to angle the armor correctly.
- This is not a beginner tank: its drawbacks of gun depression and aim time are a deal-breaker for many. Managing the nigh non-existent gun depression and the glacial aim time are the keys to doing well in this vehicle; however, the low profile negates this issue to a degree, and makes using allies as meat-shields easier. Using small irregularities in the terrain (small bumps, pieces of debris, etc) to prop one side of the vehicle up so as to get the gun down can be very effective.
- Using equipment and crew skills to minimize accuracy penalties for moving can help alleviate the aim time, as well as making sure to move the tank as little as possible when moving out for a shot. The strengths of this tank are its alpha damage and mobility, which make it a very strong flanker and harasser. If it can be used, the turret armor is very difficult to penetrate, and if it can be aimed fully, the accuracy of 0.38 makes at least a passable sniper.
- It's recommended to use a Tank Gun Rammer, Vertical Stabilizer, and Coated Optics to improve the tank's strengths (alpha/DPM, scouting ability), while minimizing the weaknesses (gun handling) that can be addressed. If you can't deal with the weaknesses as your play-style still hasn't adjusted to what suits the Chinese mediums by abusing camouflage and unconventional hull-down positioning to get off accurate shots and are forced to use a GLD/Vents in lieu of the Rammer and Optics, perhaps this wasn't the tank line for you. As much as it may tempt you to believe so, T-54 style play does not work in this tank, and the gun makes it a whole different beast of its own.
Early Research
- If you came from the WZ-132, the 100 mm 60-100T Gun and A-220A Radio carry over. Mount them immediately.
- If you came from the T-34-2, the 12150LS Engine and A-220A Radio carry over. Mount them immediately.
- It is recommended to get the suspension so you do not need to worry about weight of the other important modules later on.
- If you want more firepower, research the WZ-120-1 Turret, followed by the 100 mm 62-100T Gun and the 122 mm 60-122T Gun.
- The WZ-120-1 Turret adds an additional 100 Hit Points to the tank.
- If you want more speed, research the 12150LT Engine.
- The best research order for the WZ-120 is Tracks--> Upgraded Turret--> Upgraded Radio--> Upgraded Guns

Historical Info
The first vehicles were produced in 1958 and it was accepted into service in 1959, with serial production beginning in 1963. Approximately 9,500 of the tanks were produced by the time production ended in 1980 with approximately 5,500 serving with the Chinese armed forces. The tank formed the backbone of the Chinese People's Liberation Army until 2000s (decade), with an estimated 5,000 of the later Type 59-I and Type 59-II variants in service in 2002.
Essentially the WZ120 is identical to the early production Soviet T-54As, however there are some key differences. The WZ120 was not originally fitted with the infrared searchlight or main gun stabilization of the T-54.
The WZ120 has a conventional post-war layout with the fighting compartment at the front, an engine compartment at the rear, and a cast dome-shaped gun turret in the centre of the hull. The hull is welded steel varying in thickness between 99 millimeters on the front lower glacis to 20 millimeters on the hull floor. The turret is between 100 and 39 millimeters thick.
The driver sits in the front left of the hull, and is provided with hatch immediately above his seat, which opens to the left. the driver has two pop-up vision blocks which give coverage ahead and slightly to the right when buttoned up. The commander sits in the turret along with the gunner and loader. The commander's hatch is on the turret left, with the gunner sitting forward and below him. The loader sits on the right of the turret and has a hatch above him. The turret has a non-rotating floor, which complicated the crew's operations.[citation needed]
WZ120 was modified several times during its service with the replacement of the 100 mm Type 59 rifled gun with a 105 mm rifled gun. It was also the basis of several later Chinese tank designs including the Type 69 and Type 79 tanks.
