WZ131 gameplay (for Xenasys)

Since Xenasys has been asking me what I think about this tank, I decided to upload a couple of games that show off quite well how I try to play this tank. I currently have the second best 85mm mounted (I have not researched the other 2 guns yet), but I get top experience in both matches, so I'm doing alright with it.

We'll start off with a game on Ruinberg. I mostly use hit and run tactics in this game, playing it as a harassing light tank: http://wotreplays.com/site/258210?secret=dbb12851031c268206864ca8b2afacfc

And here is one on the new Korean map. Here I try to get a nice vantage point to get some good spots. Getting eyes on a fairly strong push across the top East ridge, I get some nice sniping shots into their flanks remaining unseen and once the advantage is won, I move in to help mop up: http://wotreplays.com/site/258224?secret=dbb12851031c268206864ca8b2afacfc

So, this is how I try to play this tank. I am sure I am not playing it to it's full potential yet (if only because the top gun brings a bit more punch), but I enjoy playing it a lot. I manage to get myself into the top 3 experience more often, now that I have a decent gun and the top suspension and engine.

Nice work, I realising where I'm going wrong, I don't have your patience I just want to kill something.

Will work on modifying my style, Its a great tank though.

Thanks for doing this

I am going to tick many people off now, but at this moment for me this is the best tier 7 light tank in the game. It nearly plays as a medium and deals a pretty punch. I can upload a replay too, if you want to. Only this morning in a tier 8 battle I had more damage then our tier 8s .

Play it like a stealth predator. Go in opportunistic, move away when they start to focus on you. You are a light: either they consiously are aware that you are a scouting threat or they think easy kill. Either thought will ensure you are a prime target.

You say a WZ-131 is better than a T71...!  

I dont see it myself, sure the camo value is top draw but personally I just dont get on too well with the WZ's. Im half way through the WZ-132 at present and cant wait to put the whole chinese light line behind me tbh. Ill check out the replays later and maybe pick some tips up on how/where I am going wrong.

Someone actually sent me this match, which I did a highlight of, it was a pretty nice match. Perhaps there's something to be learned from it.
