Description
The Object 122 Medium Tank "Mechanical Controls" is a squadron rank VI Chinese medium tank with a battle rating of 8.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced during Update "Danger Zone".
General info
Survivability and armour
Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.

Armaments
Main armament
Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: {{main|Name of the weapon}}. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.

Additional armament
Some tanks are armed with several guns in one or more turrets. Evaluate the additional weaponry and give advice on its use. Describe the ammunition available for additional weaponry. Give advice on about how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage. If there is no additional weaponry remove this subsection.

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".
Pros:
- Powerful 120mm APFSDS can frontally penetrate common foes (eg. M60, T-55, Leopard 1)
- 4 ATGM are a very useful backup (or primary) armament to finish off enemies
- Slightly better frontal protection than T-55/62, making angling a more effective tactic
- Low profile, harder to get spotted & hit
- Has a range of useful devices like 12.7mm HMG, smoke grenades, laser rangefinder, 2-plane stabiliser, etc
Cons:
- Awful reverse speed of -7 km/h, can sometimes put the player in a fatal situation
- While cannon and missiles are powerful, they still cannot penetrate well armoured tanks like T-55AM
- No thermal imaging, a disadvantage in night battles against more advanced tanks like Leopard A1A1
- Long reload, can be dangerous if player fails to one-shot target
- No ERA or composite armour, will get easily penetrated by HEAT (eg. M551, M901)
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the vehicles;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
