As many Chinese vehicles are inspired by the Soviets, the 110 resembles the IS-3 quite a lot. But don't be fooled by the looks as this tank is significantly different from the Soviet counterpart. Actually, its entire gameplay is different, resembling somewhat a heavy-medium tank role, so let's have a look what this machine is all about!
Gameplay
What you'll notice first about this Chinese heavy tank is the typical Soviet pike nose. This one however, is much tougher, being able to bounce shots even from higher-tier vehicles. As a trade-off, you need to pay a lot of attention to the lower frontal plate as it's both weak and pretty large. Do your best to hide it from your opponents. Your turret is quite tough, and while it has a cupola on top, it's much harder to hit than the lower plate. Keep a bit of distance from your enemy.
Earlier we mentioned that we consider the 110 a heavy-medium hybrid, despite the mediocre power-to-weight ratio. Even if you struggle to keep up, we recommend you go with medium tanks once in a while. Especially as a lower-tier vehicle, you can cause a lot of trouble on the medium flanks – just make sure to show your well-armoured pike nose. It's best to check the team setup during the countdown to see where you can contribute the most.
Its 100 mm gun does a good job in general but there are a couple of things you need to look out for. The damage is fairly okay, and in combination with the decent rate of fire you have quite a lot of possibilities – trade shots with faster-firing but weaker tanks, shoot stronger opponents twice while they reload. The accuracy is all right but you'll notice that the gun is somewhat unreliable still, so don't expect anything to hit further away than mid-range.

The gun is what you mainly need to focus on. With this set of equipment, you'll make it shoot faster, aim quicker, and hit more reliably. We don't recommend using any other piece of equipment apart from these as you'll sacrifice too much of your gun's performance.

To keep your tanks rolling, make sure to teach Repair to your trusty tankers. Afterwards, Snap Shot and Smooth Ride will make it easier to aim while moving or when turning your turret. Safe Stowage gives you some protection from ammo rack damage – something that Chinese vehicles are famed for. To top it off, Brothers in Arms gives you a neat bonus to many characteristics.
