Tier 6,7,8 completely ruined because of this tank. Well done WG what can i say? I only play wot november,december. I return this game (which i love) every year with the hope that things might have gotten better, but instead i come back to it being worse than the last year.
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.
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.
@@Lukvader9 He punches him in the vld what are you talking about? There are only a couple of tanks that can tank bz at 8 - this is a Chrysler, perhaps it can freely penetrate all the rest, while stabilizing the gun and angles declensions allow him to calmly aim hatches, and his hatches and roof can only be penetrated normally by guns of a caliber above 123 mm according to the 3-caliber rule

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!!! 🤯
This is the tank that finally made me play LT and arty again so that I do not have meet it at the choke points where it is hull down and you can do nothing to it. When I play arty I focus only on BZ 176 so that they can re-evaluate their life choices for buying so many loot boxes until they can get this tank.
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
The thing is... by simply adding, say, 500 HP to this tank you could classify it as a pure Tier X tank. In the current state it is a highly powerful Tier IX, nowhere near tier VIII.
Wargaming may be a business, but you fail to realize something, Skill: If a business stops producing something of quality, people will generally take their money elsewhere. If enough people do that, then the dancing baboon will have to find a different way to beg money on the internet.
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...
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.
When I got this tank it was like a dream for about 15 battles hiting enemy weakspots all the time, but recently I feel like the gun hiden stats were nerfed, it feels so derpy for me now :/
The crazy thing, its not simply the damage it unleashes. Its that it finishes with full HP, and blocks ton of dmg! this is the most crazy thing. He can safely go out, aim, and take the shot.
I haven’t played in a couple years, but I still watch Skeeel. I was thinking about coming back for a bit for the new year. Then I saw this video. Fuck that! Lol
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!
3 minute lost game yesterday. 3x platoon of these things all had >4k. Fucking rediculous. I'm back to T5 games until they nerf it down from tier 10 stats.
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
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
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
I see Obj 279e or Chieftain on enemy team in tier X matchmaking - pretty calm. I see BZ-176 on enemy team in tier VIII matchmaking - panik. Literally most broken and toxic tank in the entire game. I can deal with 279e's but this bullshit BZ is on another level of nonsense...
They probably thought that tier6-7 players don't get to experience the fun of facing 279e`s. They just got so drunk they forgot to remove the small lower plate weakspot for the perfect experience. Frigging inbr*eds.
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. Happy Christmas and New year for everyone!
@@Peizxcv OP =/= broken Skoda is straight up one of the strongest tier 8 tanks (OP, but not necessarily broken), so that comparison is pretty bad. It also changes NOTHING about how broken AND OP BZ is
Since I have 0 luck in the game I kinda hated the tank. Couldnt hit shit, and when I hit something I did 50dmg. Also, one of the many op features of this tank is the reverse speed. It almost feels fast in reverse.
imagine if wot had dynamic earning on tanks based on their overall w/r if the tank has a high win rate it should earn less. the scab tanks that suck and have a low w/r should just earn more for being a good sport playing the handycapped tanks.
Thank god for Steam Sale. Nabbed FF7 remake and Elden Ring. With this tank in game, I lost my will to play anymore. This can bite even tier X tank if they’re not careful. I was on my CC2 Mk 1, hulldown and this tank just smack 700 damage like it’s nobody’s business.
Last year there was the caliban 2 shot derp tank at tier 8 xmas , they gave this one better gun handling faster reload, faster tank and better armour. Why??
this tank is the true WG " logic " it has so bad gun on paper but it hits F**** Pixels ,and I with my ISU-152K with purple equipment 0.34 disperssion miss Type 4 Heavy at 50m FULLY AIMED .....
I hate this tank with a passion. We thought Skorpion was OP? L O L It hits me and pens decent armoured vehicles from 500+ meters, it has sick armour, it has mobility, it has gun depression and insane alpha.......... so when I play my Scorpion or T-34-85 or say... Skorp G/SU-130-PM, I won't pen it unless I catch it from the side/back and it will destroy me every single time because it can also snapshot from a couple hundred meters.
I don’t know why people are moaning, most people can’t penetrate with this tank, it has week spots and it’s DPM is about right. There isn’t a problem with OI or KV2 and they face tier 4s
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.
problem with casual players is only, that, they think if they shoot full gold they will be instantly 60% superunicums, but they re not, even if you dress up a monkey with a tuxedo, its still monkey.
meanwhile i just cant make this tank work. Having 1.7 avg DMG, while even in my fucking centurion primo victoria i have like 2.2k It just misses like there is no tomorrow
