The World of Tanks tank simulator has not lost its relevance for years, and millions of gamers continue to fight each other using the most diverse equipment from different countries, among which there are not only the USSR and Germany, but also others, such as, for example, China. Recently, a heavy Chinese tank 112 has gained great popularity. And if you are considering various options for heavy equipment, then this model may appeal to you. In this article you will find all the basic information regarding this tank, all its key constituent elements, as well as the main advantages and disadvantages. Tank 112 is a model that can seriously affect the outcome of a battle, especially if you learn all the details and correctly manage your equipment during the battle.
Turret and gun
Pay attention to the fact that the tank 112 is a premium model, and that is why it does not have various spare parts options. It comes in a ready-made form, it can not be pumped and improved, so that you will have significantly less headache regarding the cost of upgrades. But what is included in the kit? First of all, you need to consider the gun with which you will fire at opponents, as well as the tower to which it is attached.
The turret of this tank has an impressive armor in thickness, especially when it comes to the frontal part. Here, the thickness of the armor is 240 millimeters, and therefore it can not always be pierced even from a rather powerful weapon. Naturally, on the sides and behind, the armor is far from being so impressive, but sufficient to withstand medium hits. It rotates at a good speed of 26 degrees per second, that is, a 360 degree revolution can be completed in less than fifteen seconds. Thanks to this tower, you get an overview of as much as 380 meters, so that you can notice the enemy from afar and report his location to your artillery.
Well, it's time to move on to a more important issue, namely, which gun the 112 tank has. This is the 122 mm D-25TA gun, which pierces the impressive thickness of the armor. Even when it comes to standard shells, they can penetrate 175 millimeters of armor. What can we say about armor-piercing shells that can penetrate 250 millimeters of armor. And those, and others, if successful, cause destructive damage in the amount of 390 units, which is very impressive. Unfortunately, the gun can not boast of a high rate of fire, since you can make only about four and a half rounds per minute. Reduction in this case takes about three and a half seconds, so you should understand that this is far from the fastest tank in terms of shooting, but it compensates for this drawback with huge damage.
Body and engine
The review of the 112 tank, of course, includes not only a turret with a cannon, but also other parts of the model. For example, you can look at the hull of the tank, which has a good reservation, albeit not as impressive as the frontal armor of the tower. From all sides (except the rear), the tank has an impressive 120 millimeters of armor, which fade compared to 240 millimeters of armor on the tower, but when compared with other tanks, you will still be impressed.
The case hides a very high-quality engine with a capacity of 580 horsepower, which will allow you to effectively maneuver on the battlefield. It is also worth noting that the probability of a fire when it gets into the engine of this tank is not too high, it is only 12 percent. But this does not mean that you should recklessly rush into any battle without covering the rear. Any guide to tanks 112 will definitely tell you about the need for a competent strategy when managing this model.
Chassis
Particular attention should be paid to the chassis of this tank, which can withstand loads of up to 49 tons, and also has a good turning speed of 26 degrees per second (that is, the speed of rotation of the tank itself is the same as the speed of rotation of its tower). This undercarriage allows you to reach speeds of up to 45 kilometers per hour, which is very impressive for a heavy tank. Reviews about the 112 tank usually contain information specifically about the speed of this model, which will allow you to act quite effectively throughout the territory both attacking the enemy’s base and protecting your own base.
Radio station
Well, the last element that is worth mentioning is the radio station. The fact is that World of Tanks is a team game, and if you try to do everything yourself, you will quickly notice that this approach does not bring success. And the radio station is your main way of communicating with partners. With it, you can transfer information about the enemy’s location to other players. The higher the radius of the radio station mounted on the tank, the better, and this model boasts a very high-quality radio station that can transmit a signal up to 600 meters away.
Tank advantages
The Premium Tank 112 is a model that has a huge number of positive aspects. The first and most important plus that immediately catches your eye is the unique frontal armor of the tower, which has an amazing thickness. But it is worth noting that all other parts of the tank are well protected by fairly thick armor. The second big advantage is the fact that the tank is equipped with an impressive power tool. In the case of an exact hit, you can inflict huge damage. Moreover, the gun boasts cumulative shells that penetrate almost any armor. Well, the last, but no less important advantage is that it has already been noted above, namely in the review. You can see opponents at a distance of 380 meters, and this is a lot in this game, so you can take advantage of this advantage.
disadvantages
Unfortunately, no tank is perfect, so there is nothing surprising in the fact that this model also has some disadvantages. In most cases, users complain about the gun. What is the point of his amazing armor penetration and huge damage, if at the same time he has a very long mix, low rate of fire, and also rather poor accuracy (the spread is almost a meter when shooting from a distance of 200 meters).
