To be honest tier 8 primium BZ is actually tier 10 tank. This tech tree version is well balanced. And more fun to play. This game is officially now pay to win at this point.
Honestly the only fix the 176 needs is that it shouldn't be allowed to meet -2 or -1 matchmaking. Then again the KV-2 and the 4005 are each able to fold tanks, but the KV-2 doesn't have the speed and the 4005 has no armor. The RNG of the 176 balances out things I feel. But I would agree that the 176 feel a lot more engaging to play because when it works by god seeing a tank go from full to garage in a split second from a single shot is euphoric.
@@desroth I don't know about you, but I can't really remember BZ 176 missing my tank... so the RNG doesn't seem to be that balanced... it should have Caliban gun handling... 176 is combination of ultra high alpha gun with good premium penetration and average (definitely not bad for its alpha) gun handling, great armor with small weakspots and good speed and mobility thanks to its boosters. It literally doesn't have any weakness in my opinion.
I posted this on forum and asked questions about it in WG twitch, witch got me banned for asking why BZ techtree is nothing like the premium. Open as always the WG communicarion
@@henkgeenreetaan1374 techtree is worse than the premium because Wargaming realized that the 176 is way too overpowered, but their policy is that they dont nerf premium tanks. So instead of making a line entirely made of overpowered tanks (which was going to happen, those tanks were supposed to have derp guns too), they fixed them and made them balanced. In my opinion, Wargaming made the right decision on this line
The premium bazinga 176 looks far stonger than techtree counterpart. Last game was almost like tier 10 match with skoda and premium bazinga on the enemy team.
@@joe125ful I mean if I was running the business, I would have done the same - I don't blame them. Gaming = Entertainment and good Entertainment was always (Pay to Enjoy) - so I am fine as long as I can afford to purchase all those tanks. I see it as a way to support the game (even though I have 50+ t8 premiums) and I don't need any more.
@@WizavPRO "Only" problem is it cannot be sustainable even at mid-terms, not to mention long-terms... Only matter of time when all the F2P players will leave and then just the players like u will remain against each other's OP broken PoS premium tanks... Not too hard to consider how "epic" the MM will be with 5 BZs, 5 SKODAs and couple more Skorpions and other "used to be OP" tanks at every battle... AND should i really mention that "new premiums" are also OP and "enjoyable" until they have weaker "meatballs" at enemy to feast on? ...
Well... Except 53tp gun is WAAY better than this one, also has better reverse speed and that helps. 53tp is better than this tank tbh, apart from jet boosters, it has nothing special.
I for one am glad to see that these things aren't OP as shit, hopefully it means that they'll actually try to have things balanced in the future... except the premium versions of course lmao
So far I think the tree is pretty well balanced, actually. It's a nubs impression, sure, but they are okish overall and a bit worse in some aspects offsetting their boosters. And used wisely those are pretty amazing. Might be that the coupolas are a tad big. But still better than another 176 or vipera, no?
Pretty bummed these have no compacity for competitive play, would have been decent if they didn't change them on test server. Overall I'd pair the teir x as equal with the rinoceronte so probably gonna be buffed in 2-3 Years
You can get into position fast, yeah boosters are cool. Once in position, you can go ahead and bounce 4 shots on Skoda T50, CS-59 and Obj 263 side. Not even joking...
@@JoshYxVdM I don't think the boosters are too good to "be the first at the szene". But they are awesome to reposition or during any "mop-up-phase". The tanks themselves are pretty much useless as a first-line-tank, at least when I drive them. :D
I really dont agree. The their gun handling is so bad that they can only function in close quarter where their armor ceases to be relevant because of large and easily penetrable cupola's. They need to have good gun handling to be average IMO.
@@emilpapis93 Yeah, after playing a bit more in them, I agree. They don't feel like the tier they are on. Imho the 176 would be better as a tier 10 and everything else one tier lower. xD
The gun doesn't seem that bad, honestly. For a high alpha gun, it's actually pretty decent. The problem is gun handling on the premium BZ is ridiculously good for the gun size ...if you compare them, then sure, the tech tree one doesn't look great. Reality is it's balanced.
the standard line is crap, I notice that all newer lines of heavy tanks Italian, American is crap except for the Czech heavy tanks and the new Italian td is crap, but the most important thing is that the new premium tanks are getting better and better
Exactly, I hate that aspect. No good lines to grind towards and Playing a prem 8 feels kinda pointless if you have no new competitive tech tree to use the credits for
Started playing this tank yesterday. So far I like it more than the tier 7 version and I don't hate the tier 7. You need to hull down, then it becomes above average in short to medium ranges.
Same shit, dude. Tier 8 plays like a piece of shit. DPM worse than Defender, dispersion is not the worst, but could be better, especially with 30 km/h speed. Tier 7 doesn't feel the same cuz has a good gun and armor againsts tier 7. But there is a lot of tanks tier 8 that better than bz-166, tho.
It's better to buy a regular game, like Witcher 3 or Red dead redemption than play this pay to be competitive excuse of a game, bz's are the reason why I stopped playing this game for the second time ( first time was after ebrs were introduced) goodbye wot, I won't be playing this game again any time soon
Make a video with type 58 cuz it leads onto this line of heavies. I think you should compare its stats with t-34-85, and reconsider chaning its rating on index, because on paper it looks better than russian with buffs now, I played with it and really it's not bad.
The BZ-176 is such an unbalanced tank that it has become disgusting. It's normal to think the tech tree tank is bad because the tier 8 prize is much better.
Hi usually dont comment but today i have too... I remember when u played with BZ-176 and said "I dont see anything wrong about this tank". Hope u changed your mind meanwhile because you were in a tier 8 now imagine in a tier 6! BZ-176 (i call it bullzhit) should never come to the game like it is... 225 mm pen with HE? Shitbarn and Deathstar have 230 mm!!! The only CC i have seen talking bad about this tank was Claus and i agree 100% with him, WG just didnt think right, just like other times before, but on a estratosferic level that i never ever thought to see happen. I dont say that its not fun for those that play it but for tier 6s and tier 7s is just a nightmare. Anyways thank you for your daily contents i enjoy a lot your videos and also learned a lot with them, keep it going dear Sir :)
WG should retire bz-176, refund any person who bought the tank, rework the tank and put it on sale again when it´s rebalanced. Wg should realize that BZ-176 is a beast on the field and in spite of beeing tier 8, can compete against the tier 9 and 10 with no problem. On the other hand, ruins the lower tiers and even tier 8 gameplay, making the game so frustrating. I play this game since beta with premium acount, have some premium tanks purchased with money, but I swear that till this shit is solved, no more coin will be spent on my account. I am a free to play from now on.
Prepare to turn blue in the face holding your breath. When has WG ever balanced premium tanks? Their approach is just to power creep the last batch of OP tanks with a new one - each with a new quirk.
Instead of making a tech tree full of overpowered tanks, they balanced all of them. Its unfortunate that they dont nerf premium tanks, yeah, but its still nice that they realized the 176 was just too much and managed to balance the tech tree instead
what you see a lott , to low or to high aiming first battle ! you need the tank first and its gun to learn to hit and not to choke . "says a strunken tanker"
In comparison with other tier 8 heavies it actually looks pretty good. Armor bounces plenty shots, alpha is quite high, mobility is decent and with boosters it becomes epic. Of course it's shit when compared to the premium version, but otherwise not bad.
@@mickeydoc4521 I had many situations where I was hulldown against an other BZ with the second turret. He was not even once able to pen me but i just shot his huge cupolas. First turret ist the way to go for me.
when skoda t56 came out it was way better than is counterpart. but not so evident the difference...too OP that can play against tier 9 or tier 10 without problems... really too OP. WG it's changing the game in the worst way possibile
Tier 7 was a breeze, this thing is one of the biggest piles of poop I have ever played at tier 8. The gun is trash, the armor is trash and the mobility omg. It feels like flying a brick to a position and once your rockets are gone you just sit there and wait to die like a turtle that landed on its back.
Now I hate tier 7 with all my might. I always enter matches against tier 8 or 9 enemies and full of gold ammo. The tank becomes useless. It looked like it would never get to tier 8
BZ-176 is a fun and balanced tank that is great for the game. Oh wait, it's the complete opposite. I've stopped playing again. I wanted to enjoy WoT but it's impossible unless you just have insane luck and DON'T get the BZ-176 against you on enemy team.
So far I find the tier 7 far better than the tier 8 (83% win rate and about 2.5k average compared to 46% win rate and average of 1k damage). I am guessing you need to play tier 8 different than tier 7. Premium BZ is so OP, esp compared to the tech tree. Maybe just need to give it more time to get used to it, but to me, right now, it has to be the worst tier 8 in the game. Not had many top tier games in it mind you.
I get it, you are comparing tanks to the premium BZ-176, because same nation, same tier, etc... But I dont think comparing new tanks to the most broken ones is fair. Like, compare it to the IS3, or AMX 65t, and it's suddenly not looking that bad. 10:15 That was kinda bad aim ngl, almost half of the aiming circle was filled with the rock
You are absolutely right, this tank is a piece of sht. Full RNG even with the armor. Sometimes blocks the 176 for 50-150hp dmg, but it can also pen its turret’s side from rhe front for 700+. (Happened yesterday with me. I was aiming at him, he was aiming at me and hit the side of my turret so 1-5degrees and dmged 700+)
Comparing anything to BZ-176, or Iron Arnie is wrong. Those 2 tanks are broken. But yeeeee I can see you are not enjoying the chinese heavy tanks skill xD
The tank is not bad. The tank is good and even balanced. The problem is that we are used to the fact that the tier 8 premium is very, very unbalanced. This tank URGENTLY needs to be rebalanced because Wargaming has put a tank that becomes a nightmare for tier 6, 7, 8 and even some 9 tanks
For me, this tank is probably one of the worst tank I have played since the TNH 105 (t8). It has no armor, the gun is fking troll to the maximun; Taking forever to aim and when fully aim , fire and miss. Close range combat, just shit, everyone can pen ur lower plate and ur turret easily.
It has too many weaknesses, i’m sorry but 350m view range, poor gun handling, low dpm, low mobility outside booster, no sidescrape, lackluster hull down, poor shell velocity and at tier 8 at that? In order to feel okay with this tank you need rammer, vents, turbo, aiming unit and optics, sadly you can only have 3. I strongly recommend to skip this vehicle if you can. This is a frustrating tank to pilot to say the least, this tank has all the downsides the premium tank should have, but no benefits outside its 4 boosters.
I need 2-3 days off after playing 30 games in this F*** Pi** S*** A** tank, i tried to grind it but no way..i rather pull out my toe nails and pour salt on them..
This tank is one of the worst tier 8 heavies. It's just a steaming pile of crap. No armor, no mobility apart the 4 boosts and the gun can't hit anything. Pure frustration. Tier 7 is actually ok. My best game in it was 5700dmg and 9 kills when top tier.
Probably one of the few left oldschool players just to stubborn/lazy to ever adopt new builds, it´s still optics/rammer/stabs on my tanks if med or heavy... with field mods i go with vents on heavies with 400m base viewrange but that is the only real thing i changed. BZ-166 is going to receive bounty optics/rammer/stabs... the good old lazy stuff and gets sold when it´s grinded through... cause tech tree tier 8 are waste of time to play imo.
@@jokanaan2486 It's not just min maxing for me just "stick to what worked" and honestly view range is always nice when you reach late game. Being stuck in a blind tank severely limits your options imo. Even so it seems the concept of view range fell out of favor with great many players, throughout all skill levels, it's not rare that I am racking up spotting damage in a heavy while lights meds are Infront or next to me but must have a garbage view range.
@@mr.niceguy9394 11 here, but playing a lot less nowadays then I used to, a lot of things added, changed that didn't make the game better but frustrating at times. But hey it's free even so I still spend some bucks every now and then.
Well... seems the chinese tree has only three good tanks. All premiums. Type 64, 121B and BZ-176. All techtree tanks are somehow a "not-so-bad" or maybe a mediocre copy of the originals. Don`t get me wrong, as a good player you can make every tank work. But is it worth it when there are so many more reliable tanks in the game? I started in WOT with the chinese tree because of noobness. If I would do a reroll I would completely ignore the chinese tree. For playing WOT you need a certain grade of masochism or quit. But playing chinese Tanks is getting the butt whipped in public. ;)
It is awful tank, even worse than chinese HT 7. For its "superb" armor he pays with low maximum speed(so other tank without rocket boosters still ahead of you), huge silhouette, oblique gun with long aiming time, low rotate speed. Most 8 lvl tank guns can easily deal with its front armor, because weak spots is huge and numerous.
Hey Skill I love your videos. I wish you could use my account (45%) and see what it's like from my point view. I use those bonus for extra credits, crew. with my premuim account and tanks I do not make that much credits. 9 out of 10 battles are losts and then when the bonuses expires its not that bad. tier 10 are even worst. War Gaming favors high percentage players more than the average player. The game has pick the winning side even before the battle begins.
Skoda t56, obj 703, defender, crhysler, guard, renegade, s1, 122tm, burrasque, ebr fl, patriot, centurion 5/1, progetto, turtle mk1, ts5, gsor 1008, vipera, su 130, skorpion, german buldog, hwk 30, elc 90, lt432, lis, obj 274a type 59, e25, t34-85m, strv m42/57 and many more of the top of my head are better than techtree tanks. Its not like this is a new thing in the game. I have personaly stopped caring after listening youtuber scream "over powered premium" for the last 6/7 years for every premium tank that comes in to the game. Remember defender and crysler? The game killing op tanks that were the end of world of tanks. I wonder if the derp guns were dropped because wg is slowly coming to the realisation that if a derp gun has no he pen it useless in most situations and does next to no damage and if you give it pen it one or two shot everything. Caliban came out with less shell velosity and way more pen, crobra came out with way better gun handling, and now bz came out with even more pen than caliban and way better gun handling and now its pass the point where its workable to most of the in game situations but now its able to do damage way more than it should. I would not be suprised to see some he balancing in the next year or two or seeing the he derp guns fade away as too hard to balance.
I feel at home playing trash tanks.when i play prem bz..i feel the dirty..and often yolo my self to death in it.just cuz..i land 1 non prem shell profit secured..
Good afternoon from Argentina, I wanted to share a situation with your community since I see many of your videos about wot news, you may be interested to know that just last week I had an intrusion into my wot account, I immediately made the ticket, supposedly they solved it for me by accepting the loss of progress, 220k of free experience, 15k of gold, 20k bonuses and more than 9 million credits, the problem is that this person continues to enter, I changed my email, increased security to the maximum and this person continues to enter until now, he has spent 50k on me more than 10k gold in bonuses and for my part I can't do anything WG support only tells me that the security of my account is my responsibility, which leads me to think that he has no idea how this person enters my account and It continues to have access and they can't stop it or they don't know how to do it. I keep opening tickets waiting for someone to give me the solution. My account is 12 years old, I still don't have a solution from WG I would like to know if this problem happened to someone else and if they gave you some kind of solution, it seems incredible to me that someone can enter your account even if the email and password were changed and other steps linked to your mobile phone and continue being able to access your account
To be honest tier 8 primium BZ is actually tier 10 tank. This tech tree version is well balanced. And more fun to play. This game is officially now pay to win at this point.

Treat it like T-54 Mod1. It needs improved sniping and stabilizer to fix the gun.
i play this shit on stock turret no cupola here
The tier 7 was fun to play but the tier 8 is a pain. Century long reload and then the gun misses. I'll fragment myself out of this one.

It is good in its own tier and lower ones. So you are basically saying that its BALANCED? Because that is what I would call balanced.

First game 20 shots 12 hits 5 pens.
This is full review of this ekhhhmmm... ok let's be nice - almost tank
when skoda t56 came out it was way better than is counterpart. but not so evident the difference...too OP that can play against tier 9 or tier 10 without problems... really too OP. WG it's changing the game in the worst way possibile
Is it a pile of kaku? Only you can decide.
It looks absolutely marvelous :P
thnx
Yes the Premium is better but you cant blame that performance on the tank.
Whenever you don't aim your shot u seem to hit, sigma will be great for first few months!
you have to spam gold rounds in it...
At 10:16 thats the world of tanks i really know xd
I laugh when he miss that bz176 booty 🤣🤣
Tier 7 was a breeze, this thing is one of the biggest piles of poop I have ever played at tier 8. The gun is trash, the armor is trash and the mobility omg. It feels like flying a brick to a position and once your rockets are gone you just sit there and wait to die like a turtle that landed on its back.
That was funny with bz 176 😂😂
Tier 7 worked very well for me eventho im just an slioghtly better than average player i made 65 % winrate in 20 games
Now I hate tier 7 with all my might. I always enter matches against tier 8 or 9 enemies and full of gold ammo. The tank becomes useless. It looked like it would never get to tier 8
BZ-176 is a fun and balanced tank that is great for the game.
Oh wait, it's the complete opposite. I've stopped playing again. I wanted to enjoy WoT but it's impossible unless you just have insane luck and DON'T get the BZ-176 against you on enemy team.
Low cal tourists 😆
I love chinese tree ht. They are cannon fodder for my tanks
Totally agree brotha
If u didn’t get a bz176 lmao too bad for you!
So far I find the tier 7 far better than the tier 8 (83% win rate and about 2.5k average compared to 46% win rate and average of 1k damage). I am guessing you need to play tier 8 different than tier 7. Premium BZ is so OP, esp compared to the tech tree. Maybe just need to give it more time to get used to it, but to me, right now, it has to be the worst tier 8 in the game. Not had many top tier games in it mind you.
Lol Skill:129Mm of weak spot is weak...ehm...this is reason why its called weak spot right?:)
aslong BZ 176 is there in this form i stop playing its FRAKING OP
Good bye this game I deleted the game
I get it, you are comparing tanks to the premium BZ-176, because same nation, same tier, etc... But I dont think comparing new tanks to the most broken ones is fair. Like, compare it to the IS3, or AMX 65t, and it's suddenly not looking that bad.
10:15 That was kinda bad aim ngl, almost half of the aiming circle was filled with the rock
You are absolutely right, this tank is a piece of sht. Full RNG even with the armor. Sometimes blocks the 176 for 50-150hp dmg, but it can also pen its turret’s side from rhe front for 700+. (Happened yesterday with me. I was aiming at him, he was aiming at me and hit the side of my turret so 1-5degrees and dmged 700+)
At least this tank is better than 110. XD
No, 110 at least have another small gun that is better.
Try playing it stock, makes you want to uninstall
Comparing anything to BZ-176, or Iron Arnie is wrong. Those 2 tanks are broken.
But yeeeee I can see you are not enjoying the chinese heavy tanks skill xD
You nailed this tank to perfection ... its garbage compared to the premium version .
The tank is not bad. The tank is good and even balanced. The problem is that we are used to the fact that the tier 8 premium is very, very unbalanced. This tank URGENTLY needs to be rebalanced because Wargaming has put a tank that becomes a nightmare for tier 6, 7, 8 and even some 9 tanks
For me, this tank is probably one of the worst tank I have played since the TNH 105 (t8). It has no armor, the gun is fking troll to the maximun; Taking forever to aim and when fully aim , fire and miss. Close range combat, just shit, everyone can pen ur lower plate and ur turret easily.
If you think TNH is bad, it's because you haven't played with the IS-2 II Tier 8
I'll admit I like the tier 7 bozo instead of tier 8 bozo.
For everyone who plays the bz-176, I will load gold in my 60tp, and I will 2 shot you. And you will know how it feels lol
It has too many weaknesses, i’m sorry but 350m view range, poor gun handling, low dpm, low mobility outside booster, no sidescrape, lackluster hull down, poor shell velocity and at tier 8 at that? In order to feel okay with this tank you need rammer, vents, turbo, aiming unit and optics, sadly you can only have 3. I strongly recommend to skip this vehicle if you can. This is a frustrating tank to pilot to say the least, this tank has all the downsides the premium tank should have, but no benefits outside its 4 boosters.
I need 2-3 days off after playing 30 games in this F*** Pi** S*** A** tank, i tried to grind it but no way..i rather pull out my toe nails and pour salt on them..
Honestly a dreadfull tank. Accuracy what accuracy? Armor what armor?
This tank is one of the worst tier 8 heavies. It's just a steaming pile of crap. No armor, no mobility apart the 4 boosts and the gun can't hit anything. Pure frustration. Tier 7 is actually ok. My best game in it was 5700dmg and 9 kills when top tier.
Skillll issue😂😂
This tank is trash lol. I dropped Vents for stabilizer, aiming unit, rammer to make the gun work...
Probably one of the few left oldschool players just to stubborn/lazy to ever adopt new builds, it´s still optics/rammer/stabs on my tanks if med or heavy... with field mods i go with vents on heavies with 400m base viewrange but that is the only real thing i changed.
BZ-166 is going to receive bounty optics/rammer/stabs... the good old lazy stuff and gets sold when it´s grinded through... cause tech tree tier 8 are waste of time to play imo.
I get that because I don't even use field mods. Still playing the same way and since I'm over 60% w/r, I simply don't care about min-maxing.
@@jokanaan2486 It's not just min maxing for me just "stick to what worked" and honestly view range is always nice when you reach late game. Being stuck in a blind tank severely limits your options imo.
Even so it seems the concept of view range fell out of favor with great many players, throughout all skill levels, it's not rare that I am racking up spotting damage in a heavy while lights meds are Infront or next to me but must have a garbage view range.
10 years and climbing, hang in there brotha
@@mr.niceguy9394 11 here, but playing a lot less nowadays then I used to, a lot of things added, changed that didn't make the game better but frustrating at times. But hey it's free even so I still spend some bucks every now and then.
Well... seems the chinese tree has only three good tanks. All premiums. Type 64, 121B and BZ-176. All techtree tanks are somehow a "not-so-bad" or maybe a mediocre copy of the originals. Don`t get me wrong, as a good player you can make every tank work. But is it worth it when there are so many more reliable tanks in the game?
I started in WOT with the chinese tree because of noobness. If I would do a reroll I would completely ignore the chinese tree. For playing WOT you need a certain grade of masochism or quit. But playing chinese Tanks is getting the butt whipped in public. ;)
Skiiiiillll
this gun is really bad
It is awful tank, even worse than chinese HT 7. For its "superb" armor he pays with low maximum speed(so other tank without rocket boosters still ahead of you), huge silhouette, oblique gun with long aiming time, low rotate speed. Most 8 lvl tank guns can easily deal with its front armor, because weak spots is huge and numerous.
Hey Skill I love your videos. I wish you could use my account (45%) and see what it's like from my point view. I use those bonus for extra credits, crew. with my premuim account and tanks I do not
make that much credits. 9 out of 10 battles are losts and then when the bonuses expires its not that bad. tier 10 are even worst. War Gaming favors high percentage players more than the average player. The game has pick the winning side even before the battle begins.
Skoda t56, obj 703, defender, crhysler, guard, renegade, s1, 122tm, burrasque, ebr fl, patriot, centurion 5/1, progetto, turtle mk1, ts5, gsor 1008, vipera, su 130, skorpion, german buldog, hwk 30, elc 90, lt432, lis, obj 274a type 59, e25, t34-85m, strv m42/57 and many more of the top of my head are better than techtree tanks. Its not like this is a new thing in the game. I have personaly stopped caring after listening youtuber scream "over powered premium" for the last 6/7 years for every premium tank that comes in to the game. Remember defender and crysler? The game killing op tanks that were the end of world of tanks. I wonder if the derp guns were dropped because wg is slowly coming to the realisation that if a derp gun has no he pen it useless in most situations and does next to no damage and if you give it pen it one or two shot everything. Caliban came out with less shell velosity and way more pen, crobra came out with way better gun handling, and now bz came out with even more pen than caliban and way better gun handling and now its pass the point where its workable to most of the in game situations but now its able to do damage way more than it should. I would not be suprised to see some he balancing in the next year or two or seeing the he derp guns fade away as too hard to balance.
this tank is pile of shit if not against Tier 6
I hate this tank many times useless
Your aim sucks on this game today skill.
That premium version is over power it's superior to any tier 8 havy comparing with that is not seem fair to metank
as a free to play player, i'm laughing at all the idiots that are just noticing this game is pay 2 win ...
I feel at home playing trash tanks.when i play prem bz..i feel the dirty..and often yolo my self to death in it.just cuz..i land 1 non prem shell profit secured..
Good afternoon from Argentina, I wanted to share a situation with your community since I see many of your videos about wot news, you may be interested to know that just last week I had an intrusion into my wot account, I immediately made the ticket, supposedly they solved it for me by accepting the loss of progress, 220k of free experience, 15k of gold, 20k bonuses and more than 9 million credits, the problem is that this person continues to enter, I changed my email, increased security to the maximum and this person continues to enter until now, he has spent 50k on me more than 10k gold in bonuses and for my part I can't do anything WG support only tells me that the security of my account is my responsibility, which leads me to think that he has no idea how this person enters my account and It continues to have access and they can't stop it or they don't know how to do it. I keep opening tickets waiting for someone to give me the solution. My account is 12 years old, I still don't have a solution from WG I would like to know if this problem happened to someone else and if they gave you some kind of solution, it seems incredible to me that someone can enter your account even if the email and password were changed and other steps linked to your mobile phone and continue being able to access your account
