What Chinese Vehicles To Go For?

Which sounds pretty strong at first, but unfortunately it is rather flat, so at best you can get like 240mm effective armor out of it. Now that would still be enough to bounce most T8 guns with standard ammo on paper. Unfortunately you rarely meet enemies under ideal conditions. And as soon as the enemy gets even a slight horizontal angle on you your effective armor drops down to like 210mm on the superstructure, which isn't enough to stop most T8 guns with regular ammo, not to mention "special" ammo or higher tier guns.   So in the end the armor isn't really providing much protection but rather just slows you down. And that combined with the minimal HP pool makes this TD really awkward to play as you simply can't take much risks. Definitely not "hard to take out" unless one is sitting in a lower tier tank and the Wz is in a very strong position. In a shootout on open ground even an IS can easily take you out (both tanks are killed in three shots, but the IS reloads a lot faster).
