Characteristics 121B

We begin to consider the technique according to tradition with its inherent survivability. The Chinese tank has a safety margin of 1,950 units. Not the best result among classmates, is in the middle. So, for comparison, the T-22 Cp. has a strength of 1900 units, and the American T95E6-top 2150 units.

The hull armor is 130/80/60 mm, and the turret is 240/160/60 mm. The armor of the tower is pleasing, the body armor has increased by 10 mm compared to the previous version. A minor change, however, if you take into account the shape of the hull, this is a good defense against an enemy attack.

The mass of this machine is 40/43 tons. The engine power is 700 horsepower. Together, these indicators gain a specific power of 17.50 horsepower per ton. Not the worst result, but 121B lags behind most classmates.

The maximum speed of the armored car is 50 km/h. The speed of rotation is 50 deg/s, and the rotation of the tower is 42 deg/s. Thus, this is a fairly fast vehicle with good maneuverability.

The Chinese armored car has a very good viewing radius, which is 420 meters, and this is not the limit.

But the vertical aiming angles are not so pleasing: -5...+18 is not a very comfortable value.

Firepower 121B

Armament differs from the previous 121. Very good damage: 390/390/480. Armor penetration also shows good results: 261/350/105 mm. The rate of fire is also a comfortable value. As a result, the damage per minute is 2,689 units/min. It may not be the best classmate, but it is in the top. Excellent mixing time of 2.20 seconds, spread over 100 m – 0.33 m. In general, we get a pretty good gun with a good reload time and DPM, a high rate of armor penetration and accuracy.

Survivability 121B

In order to successfully play this technique, it is worth remembering well the points of advantages and disadvantages. For example, it is worth keeping in mind information about its excellent frontal booking and not losing sight of the average dynamics. Remember about accuracy and don't forget about the vertical aiming angles.

The tank is designed for different game styles. You can enter the battle from the second line, you can make your way closer to the first, but then do not forget about the sides and stand in front of the enemy so that there are no vulnerabilities in the strike.

A good tactic is to realize accuracy and damage per minute by standing somewhere in the bushes on the second line. Here you will not be hindered by bad angles of vertical aiming, you will only need to periodically change your position.
