Comparing: FCM 50 t vs. WZ-111 vs. 112

Development was started in December 1945. The vehicle was conceived as an alternative for the AMX 50t and combined archaic features typical of the pre-war French tank-construction industry as well as German innovations. The vehicle was to be equipped with an additional container trailer, equipment for underwater driving, and a demountable mine clearer.

Development of the heavy tank prototype on the basis of the Soviet IS-2 and IS-3 began in the early 1960s under the influence of the T-10. The vehicle was supposed to modernize the armored forces of the PLA. The trials revealed multiple faults, and the development of the vehicle was discontinued in 1964.

The development of the 112 tank started in 1962. The project was to feature parts and components of medium and heavy tanks. Existed only in blueprints. The 113 tank was a further development of the 112.
