Tank description:

The 121 is a Chinese tier 10 medium tank.Development of a new medium tank based on the Type 59 began in 1962. The new tank was expected to feature improvements in firepower and armor protection. However, the project was canceled shortly after. Some technical innovations were applied later, in the development of the Type 69 tank. All 121 tank prototypes were destroyed during Chinese nuclear weapon testing.The 121 continues the Chinese tradition of installing the largest gun possible on a medium tank. The 121 is an all round improvement over the WZ-120 with improved gun handling and DPM being the main benefits. With its 122mm gun, the 121 excels in the peek-and-boom role, and may outtrade most other medium tanks or even heavy tanks. The armor might not lend itself to proper front-line use, but as always the soup-bowl turret and angled frontal plate will extend your survivability. The 121 is a menacing opponent for any tank in a straight close-range brawl and is flexible enough to carry games with its raw damage output. Still, expect to struggle if not fighting on your own terms - the gun handling is nowhere near the best T10 mediums.The 121 marks the end of its Chinese medium line.
