In a previous video we looked at a Chinese tank known as the WZ-111. However this is far from the only failed design produced by them. As relations between the Soviet Union and Chinese government began to fall apart it became a priority to not just replace their aging license built tanks but also to design new ones capable of facing off against the latest soviet armor should fighting break out. This scramble would eventually lead to the tank project we know today as the WZ-122.

@@gustiwidyanta5492 bruh in syrian conflict there are T-34/85 used in there but the gun breach can kill you so they shoot the cannon outside of the tank
@@Doyle- What this have to do with NK? Not so long ago crew of americans in a american M-18 was able to blow themselves up by not firing the TD from outside... If the shells have more power because they are puting more propelant to it then it is a good idea to shot it like that. With old stuff people often using reduced charges but in case of a war that is not an option.
NK licensed the T-62 production from USSR so NK tanks are based on old technology but are not as old as Soviet version would be. Not to mention that NK improved many critical components: laser rangefinder, "There is a new TShSM-41U gunner's sight, new commander's sight, "Meteor-M1" stabiliser, BV-62 ballistic computer and 9K116-2 "Sheksna" (NATO: AT-10 Stabber) guided missile unit with 1K13-BOM sight (it is both a night sight and ATGM launcher sight. However, it cannot be used for both functions simultaneously) "

Developing Tanks is difficult.
China: Yes.
So you need special knowledge to develop tanks.

So you need education to develop tank.

And you purge your tank developers, who need an education to develop tanks, because they were educated?

China: Control+C, Control+V 😎👌
7:33 lmao this is literally the meme 'Write that down! write that down!'
Fun Fact: The Chinese tech tree presently seen in World of Tanks is almost completely different from what was originally planned. This is due to how secretive the Chinese Govt. is, even over designs decades old. Essentially, Wargaming had to have each tank and its modules approved before they were allowed to release them. It delayed their release on the NA and EU servers for a significant amount of time.
WG Chinese MT is completely fk up.... It needs a rework with Type 85-I as t10
@@zegzbrutal The thing that bothers me the most about the Chinese tree is the "Type T-34". Instead of that fabrication, I'd prefer if the tree just had Tier 5 light tank (either a Taiwanese Chaffee or the M113 with a Chaffee turret) and only branched to medium tanks with the Tier 6 Type 58.
@@RedXlV TBH with the Type 58 being not good in t6.
Might as well move down to t5. 59-16/Early Type 62(WZ-131-) become t6.
No need T-34-1 and move POS T-34-2 in t7.
Start having Type 59-I at t8, then split into two routes. With the first one is Type 59D(59 with the extra long barrel 105mm gun) follow by Type 80. And the other is 122-3/6 follow by 122-4
@@zegzbrutal The Type 58 in its current state is basically a nerfed T-34-85, so that does make some sense. It'd need a significant DPM nerf to be Tier 5, since its alpha, pen, and turret armor would be monstrous compared to most Tier 5 mediums.
@@zegzbrutal T-34-1 is a pretty good MT at tier 7 considering its competition, so T-34-2 down there might be problematic with its 122mm and harder turret. I'm fully on board with getting any Type 59 variants though.

@@frankpolly This is like inbreeding but with ideas, imagine if NATO took no ideas from the Soviets, it’ll take longer to get ideas like Composite Armor.
@@frankpolly they did destroy a bunch of old monuments. The plan was to destroy the culture, not just clean it up
@@frankpolly sorry, let me correct you, firstly in 60-70 Chinese cultural revolution was took place, revolution mean replace every old thing with new, so a lots of old traditions culture were removed or banned, with the people with education was purges most reason is themself or their family was in different as the poor working class as in communisium theory, and Chinese Chess haven't been banned as a basic enjoyment for the working class, but the western Chess was banned but really there was not many people know it exist. druing that time all the university were close, almost noboby can pickup any new technology even you show it to them. my father was a engineer university graduated right before the cultural revolution and work in the goverment institutions, my mother was a medical doctor, they were sent to work in the conuntryside for few years.
@@frankpolly You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. The "cultural revolution", along with most political movements in China between 1949 and 1980, was conducted under the theme that customs and traditions had to be thrown out and done away with. The movement saw worse destruction of historical sites and artifacts than the decades of war that preceded communist rule in China. Academics and educated people were persecuted because they seeked to preserve China's heritage and asked too many practical questions that threatened to invalidate the very policies that were being driven by uneducated individuals, such as Mao and his appointed officials. Soviet policies were ridiculed in China for being too conservative, too "revisionist", and not adhering to communist ideals. Mao's goal was to forever silence the knowledgeable and learned elements of Chinese society, so that nobody would question him. He even went so far as to disrupt China's entire education system so that all forms of education were effectively put on pause and replaced by recitals praising Mao's genius. Needless to say, despite getting his way with most of his decisions, Mao thoroughly failed to hold China to his path. Almost immediately after Mao's death and the end of his tyranny, the consequent resurgence of rationalism turned his policies on their heads and gave rise to decades of ceaseless economic development that shaped China's current success. If there is one trait with which one must describe a country as diverse as today's China, it is rationalism.

So 122TM in WoT and WZ-1224 in AW are from the same project. Very cool.

I was reading what little I could find about the Harbin Z-5 Helicopter, so from the Z-6 derivative to the WZ122-A, this ban hammer effect on product designs, or at least military vehicle designs, appears to be a really across the board result.

How does it compare to the Romanian half-attempt of copying the Leopard, the TR-580?
Edit: Please do the Romanian tanks next!
There is a suspicion that the TR-580/77 and the Type 80 family tangentially shared design notes.
It might be informative to read "Red Horizons," a book by Ion Pacepa, the former head of the Romanian spy services. In it, he details the theft of the Leopard plans. Fascinating!

it is, indeed, thr design motive of those two tank's turrets, pretty sure.
@@theonlymann1485 Many chinesse tanks have similiar turrets. The BZ tanks are not totally made up from what i understand
BT-SV CbD video is deserving
Nicely done!
So many pictures and information，well done.
I’m glad World of Warships and World of Tanks made a lot of these paper tanks or 1 offs so they can visually be seen.
"hey thanks for being scientists working on these tanks for us but uhhhh year you're smart so time to die" also funny that Wargaming just slaps covers on the MGs and missile launchers because WoT doesn't do mgs or missiles (I'm assuming missiles I don't play it)
The covers are real and you can actually see them in one of the photos I believe, but yeah they would most likely be uncovered in battle. Doesn't really look bad though so I don't see it as a bad thing.
Some tanks only have mg's. But generally, no, missiles and mg's don't get used
Wargaming didnt slap a cover on the MG because it's not used. There are tanks in the game with open MG's like the T7 Car, which is basically a lightweight version of the M2A2 with one turret.
The 1224 seems to be an M60 variant. Check out the tracks, wheels, return rollers.
Gotta drop that like early
I appreciate the fact that you actually play the game that sponsors you. Also the majority of your content I’m somewhat familiar with but the things I haven’t heard about is very interesting, you got yourself another subscriber earned keep up the good work.

@@ConeOfArc awesome man, we’re going to go on Saturday, hope we can link up!
Wow!!!!! I never even considered Chinese armor even given current world political situations being what they are. Some very eye opening stuff here.
Job well done I say.
Cheers.
6:50 the one on the right is a T-54/Type 59/69, with mine clearing plow or something similar, based on the way it is. Probably not a Type 59D1 or 88 because neither of those have the front hull light on the upper glacis
The tank photographed in modern day is referred commonly as 七〇四分厂样车” (704 factory prototype vehicle)
WZ-1224 hull is basically the same as Romania’s TR-85. Even the 8 cylinder engine is the same specs. I suspect this was a joint project between two countries and intended to have a 120mm gun. China probably cancelled the project when the gun took too long (it didn’t enter service until Type-89 tank destroyer entered service). Without the gun the tank was not worth it for China. I think Romania completed the project with the old 100mm gun.
5:55 that's a big UFF!!
a smallish set of correction
122/122a is Three Liquids
1221/122b is Three Mechanical
1222 is the ancestor to the Type 80 and later Type 88 and Type 85 (and in a weird way even the Type 96) essentially a Type 59 hull with the rear end of the T-62 installed, a new engine, and Suspension Copied from M48 Patton (from Vietnam) and of course the L7 105mm gun later on
1223 is a weird abomination that was basically (at least initially) just a Type 59 hull with a suspension copied from M48 Patton, but later replaced the 100mm gun with a L7 105mm
1224 is the experimental tank derived from American suspension and unique welded composite turret on a HEAVILY modified 122 hull
(later prototypes were used in other projects in the 1980s as part of the "BK" series)
1225 is Unknown (possibly not even a thing that actually existed)
and 1226 is a more "conservative" alternative to the 1224, with a conventional cast turret instead of the welded one
as far as I know 704 wasn't ever officially part of the 122 program, being sort of...an outgrowth of its own (it's also not based on three liquids but rather three mechanical, hence it not being collapsed to the ground after all these decades rotting away)
at 6:56 thats not another 704 or 122 at all next to it, just a weird Type 59/69 upgrade with a mine plow, l7 gun, and smoke grenade launchers (there are other photos better showing it online)
overall a great vid, seems nobody cares of chinese developments of this era which is quite sad as some of them are beyond fascinating (often being mergers of east and west in terms of tech)
I would love to see a video on the. Neubaufahrzeug
I bet the designers were like:
Hey the West and East made new tanks
Ok
We should make a new tank too!
Any ideas?
Let’s combine them both!
no, the designers were like: oh shit, east and west both have superior tanks now, we should do something about it
It should be noted this tank is also now present in War Thunder as the Object 122MT "MC". It features a 120mm smoothbore main gun, 4x ATGM launchers in two pairs on either side of the gun, a roof-mounted 12.7mm DShK machine gun, and a coaxial 7.62mm SGMT machine gun. Appearance-wise, it looks similar to the World of Tanks design except all weapon systems are fully functional.
Yea it either destroy a good amount of people or just sucks no inbetween
The WZ122 actually might be a good tank if they managed to combine those weapon systems together
they recently added it to war thunder as well and its tier for tier far better than the T62s at comparable battle ratings. in addition to having overall better armor it also has similar mobility and the ability to use the ATGMs means you can deal with multiple targets at the same time.
This was a great episode!
Now that you've mentioned the Type 89 (PTZ89) can you make a content about the Object 120 "Taran" and PTZ89? Thanks.
Don't mind me, just gonna wait 10 hour from now
Mind is getting stressed? Thinking about who made it best? East, or west?
*Tank shell* hitting hard like baton, can't decide my favourite *cannon*
Wild I think C0ne was the clan I was in when I played but i quit that game it's so frustrating
Cone for the next video can you cover the T35
Next Nb.Fz? Or was it allready? Anyway, there was the plan to mout the 5 cm L/42 instead of a 3,7 cm L/45 in the Nb.Fz, why was the idea abandond? And does anyonr know if the 10,5 cm LeFH 18 L/28 fit in a Pz IV turret?
I had a shower thought, near the end of the war germany tried more and more to have interchangable parts.
So i wondered wether it was possible to mount the 105 in the Pz IV turret, it would then be able to take both rolls, a big He round, and with the 10,5/7,5 cm Pzgr Ts (Apcbcds) it would be even more powerfull than the 7,5 cm KwK 40 L/48 while having a shorter barrle.
Then there were Pz III/IV hulls (used for self propelled guns such as Hummel or Nashorn)
Couldnt they have ceased production of Pz III and IV hulls and take that with improved armor (it has a even more sloped big front plate and there where versions where the only horizontal plate was small, just a hood for the driver)
And build on that hull the next generation of Stugs, Flaks, "normal" Panzer and continue the Spgs?
And possibly further imorove the hull as to implement the pointy lower hull armor setup like on Jpz IV.
you might be thinking about the Heuschrecke 10 which looks similar to a Panzer 4
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuschrecke_10
maybe a video about the STB-1 (Type 74)?
Wow that is cool I play on NA too . Ill be looking for ya in battle .
Why wasn't this line up used in War Thunder as a tech tree, event vehicles or premium pack vehicle because World of Tanks is pulling ahead with native tank designs for different nations but in war tinder everything is almost copy paste
Maybe because most of the whole Chinese tech tree from World of Tanks are rather:
A: Prototypes that were just tested without any actual implementation, like the WZ-111
B: Concepts that never ever passed beyond the drawing board, like the T-34-2
C: Total WG's own inventions, like the Type 59/Patton, Type 58, the whole tank destroyer branch, etc.
From all those, which makes about a 70% of the nation roster at least including regular and premium vehicles, only the ones of the A category could make an appearance on War Thunder, as they use vehicules that actually served or proposals that were actually build AND tested. (argument which makes this very WZ-122 and all their variants a very plausible addition in other hand)
@@Sammael66685 funnily enough, the tier 2 Chinese TD is a real tank and I'm pretty sure that the tier 3 is real too
122TM je great tank imo Solid 120mm front armour turret have 280mm ( best value on medium) only thing what i hate is reload time :/ 14sec for 1 shot is too long
It is, but great accuracy, pen, and 300mm heat rounds make up for it
Oh a sponsored video, sweet! good for you
interesting how this is technically CN's first step of stepping away from USSR and designing its own tanks. despite the project not working out, from the extensive tests and iterations it seemed they approached the development correctly (unlike a certain Indian MBT cough, cough).
Arjun is the best tank in the universe
The original designers also found them selves being replaced as they were being purged because they were part of the educated class.......
Now I might just be a humble Texan toy merchant, but I'm pretty sure you want your military designers to be able to read an write.
the wz-122-4 kinda looks like a BZ-75 especially the turret (bz was probably that idk)

From a certain angle, WZ1224 looks like M60 Patton.
Please do a Tog 2 review
I have the 122 TM in WoT. Its been my favorite tank for some time. Very reliable armor with only weak spot being the cupola and the gun, despite being made in China, is pretty good. The reload time is quite long but with a 5 perk crew and running food I have gotten it down to 12 seconds. Thanks for the great content.
Could you do a video on the object 279e please
bro do the amx 50 line and 69 t 57 american line in one video it had new oscilating turret.
Bro this looks like something I'd make in sprocket.
ngl the tank looks hot
Chinese tanks always look awesome
Turan III, cursed by design next
Maybe I shouldn't get a degree I don't wanna be caught in the next purge
Here we have an example of Chinese technology so advanced that the very first version was able to make its designers just disappear.
There's no word on whether they were ever heard from again.
Mid 70s? Thats West-Germany then and quite interesting that the Parliament (and the US) would permit such an export.
Thanks man for WoT.
So did china get the blueprints and process to make the Leopard 2 tanks? That would be quite interesting if they were able to have that information, since that would mean they can some how build a copied Leopard 2 with updated technology.
They likely had outline specifications and some user manuals rather than exact blueprints as part of the German sales effort. It wouldnt have been enough to straight replicate as the parts would be lacking dimensions/metallurgy requirements but it would be enough to backwards engineer the systems.
Did anyone appreciate that the video's exactly 10 minutes?

You really grinding the T30? Real skill players drive meds/lights. Way more exciting too.
awesome vid. But having to skip to near 2 mins is a bit crap. Also, how long is your into lol
TH-cam: "Oh, you made a video about the WZ-122."
ConeOfArc: "It's a cursed by design video."

Well, at least this doesn't get into production. Unlike a bunch of Iranian MBT, which is some of the most cursed Soviet/NATO mis-match ever. For example, the Zulfiqar series, which is basically the M60 being heavily modified to fit a composite armor and fitted with Soviet components.
If it works, then it is not curse.
@@jintsuubest9331 It really doesnt work.
Zulfiquar would have been lacking in 1970, today its worth little more than a t34.
I feel like the Type 99 got some inspiration from this.
The ZTZ-99 is more or less an improved T-90

@@DefinitelyNotEmma no. Other than the carousel autoloader design. Type 99 is much bigger and heavier than T-90
Type99 is a third-generation tank, while 122 plan is one of the second-generation prototypes. The design experience of 122 plan is applied to type69 and type80. Especially the engine on 122-5 and 122-6. This series of tanks(from 122 to 703) is just a new exploration. Due to the restriction of industry level and technology in that era, some designs are unrealistic. But it still could be said to a milestone of chinese tank from total imitation to gradually independent research and development. A retired designer who participated in 122 plan design recalls so in his social media account.(a part of images in this video are from his account)
With better fcs.
In a long standing tradition, designers and engineers get purged.
Do a vid about japanese late war tank
