Nothing worse than entering a game with your tier 6 premium tank, getting a tier 8 game and seeing a platoon of BZ-176's on the enemy team...nothing like being one shot by the new tier 8 KV-2! Udes ram at 14:35 was spectacular BTW!!! 🤯

I played with a friend yesterday, we were playing any tier 8 premium we had, for fun and credits. At some point he used the 112. We were against 4 of these BZ of doom. The fact that this OP rocket BZ tank and the 112 are both tier 8 chinese heavies is the most hilarious thing I laughed at in WOT this whole year.

[@johnzhao4641]

The 112 is actually a very good tank though. It is very fast with good armor plus preferential matchmaking. If you can Work around the gun handling, then it is a good tank.

Even anything lightly to medium armoured at tier 9 and 10 has a problem with this BZ-176. 800 or so alpha + excellent armour, gun depression and speed is just toxic. And remember how much of an effort WG made with that rebalancing exercise a few months ago?! The guys of that team won't feel too good about their work with the introduction of this BZ-176, I guess...

[@Tyriama]

I'm so tired of this tank. I came back from a 2year break, and started grinding out the german heavies at T7, T8. I'm having decent games, having some blocks/sidescrapes and having fun with the german guns, but then this thing just rolls forward with the good forward armor and just claps me FRONTALLY for 780 damage and just removes me from the game. It's so frustrating to play against. The powercreep in this game is just insane.

[@Alan-mb8zy]

These games do not show the massive frustration you had playing this tank during the stream 😂. Happy New Year to you and your family King Baboon

[@SterlingBeanz]

Ive seen this tank so much this Christmas that it ruined the game completely. I was grinding my tier 9 M103 and my god it was already bad but being 2 shot by a tier 8 from full health was a joke... I have a recommendation for wargaming to balance this tank and not take anything away from the people who got it. Admit that they made a mistake, and make the tank a tier 10. Thats it. It would be almost balanced at tier 10. Thanks for the video Skill!

[@descartes2404]

imo main problem with this tank is that the HE have higher pen than the AP. There is literary almost no reason for u to use AP in this thing. Reduce the HE pen to atleast the same as AP. And reduce the thickness of the lower plate a bit. If properly angled that LP is still quite strong even against gold shell from tier 7

[@johnascroft8738]

Imagine selecting a Tier 6 tank, loading in and seeing the only BZ in the game is on the other team - and Skill is driving it!

[@wot1fan885]

Thank You for saying straight away this tank is broken and shouldn't be in the game. We need to push wargaming to do something .

the thing about gold/premium ammo is a hard case to solve. we cannot remove it entirely because some tanks will be outright OP, also, restricting it to gold severely limits the fighting chance of F2P players. What im thinking is to put a limit on the amount of gold ammo you can carry, maybe 20-30% of your ammo to avoid gold spam and enforce smart gold ammo use

[@anthony-wk7ux]

Probably after xmas events these tanks will only face tier tens

[@yi_hou3092]

the BZ-176 looks like Wargaming took the WZ-122-4 Prototype which actually existed and added the Gas Turbine Engine Mechanic from the Polish Mediums The WZ-122 was basically a Chinese attempt to make their own version of the T-64 or T-72 using their own methods cause the Type 69 (WZ-121, not related) was insufficient enough and basically Version 1 is the 122 TM we see in tier 8 and other variants except mk4 looked the same cause the 4th variant wanted to look like the Leopard 2

[@StirbMensch]

The ease with which this thing racks up damage and 1.800+ Base XP games is just absolutely ridiculous... they should just change it and make it a Tier 9 premium, buff the hp a bit and that's it

Funny that atrazine started being used 50 years ago as well. Turns frogs gay according to the study out of Berkeley! Yeah but that couldn’t be it. 🤣

If u r not a redline player, you can build your crew, you can decide what ammo use against your target. U will come out with a profit, if u just simply play with brain. There are situations, where the rng says no, but u can not do anything against that. So stop acting like an angry clown and use that gold ammo if needed. Everyone else plays the same game as you, do not make more credits, do not get better mm, they just simply know how to play this game. U can say, your opponents spamming gold, but u can not? It is not for gold anymore, it is for credits. If u do not have credits? Then farm like everyone else, there is a christmas event, the best chance to stack up a lot.

Speaking back to the topic of premium ammo, best thing WG can do for it is to nerf all benefits of its pay2win characteristics. Just like how it is very hard to earn credits with premium ammo, nerf the Exp and mark of excellence gain by 50% or heck, more than that. People say it's not pay2win, right? So there should be no problems nerfing all benefits of using it. Just so we don't punish those that only use it sparingly and not load full gold, make the exp loss occur only after the fifth Speshul ammo has been fired.
