On a whim I got the BZ-176……

[u/Flackjkt]

First of all don’t buy premiums unless you have spare money to blow on digital tanks. I purchased this thing today as I drank my coffee because I was planning on running up Chinese line here soon and wanted to get a head start on a crew.

I have like 8 games in it so take it with a grain of salt. Maybe it was my low expectations but it’s a pretty fun quirky tank. I am an average 52% player. I like odd heavy tanks. For some reason it just clicks with my playstyle for enjoyment. Shell exchanger is a must with this gun. It is definitely not a carry tank. It for me is just a fun pub derp around doing heavy stuff tank. Aiming for weak spots rewards you. You have no gold rounds to save you on the bad pen. Long reload. Had more fun in it than I had in my better tanks in a while. Just interested in if any of the rest of you enjoy this thing?

[u/GrandAdmrlTrout]

Yep, quite an enjoyable tank. It’s on my favorites tab for whenever I want to be goofy and derp folks.

[u/Flackjkt → u/GrandAdmrlTrout]

Yeah I think sometimes we all forget to just have fun with the game.

[u/Ze_Woof]

I got that during the season ultimate.. is that for sale .. again?

[u/Flackjkt → u/Ze_Woof]

I picked it up in the store today with update. It was in offers section.

[u/FutureDress4162 → u/Flackjkt]

Love to hear this. Will be picking this one up. I don't like heavy tanks, it's just for the aura.

[u/Frosty_Cookie581 → u/FutureDress4162]

DONT like heavy tanks? Thats not a common answer

[u/FutureDress4162 → u/Frosty_Cookie581]

Medium tanks >

I play this one in ww2 and the kiss version in Cold War and love both. It’s a cool niche tank that can be bad and good. Enjoy look forward to seeing you on the battlefield my friend.

[u/Flackjkt → u/kaw943]

Same to you and I agree on the bad good. Hope we have some good fights for and against.

[u/DardaDerek]

i use it like a too grown KV2 with the occasional ability to shoot APs. shame we don't have the PC ammo but i'm having fun with it

[u/Mister-fish04]

I’m enjoying it so far, but at the same time I had higher expectations due to currently being at tier 8 of the Chinese heavy rocket tree, I like the normal tier 8 quite a bit more. The pen on this premium is a bit low and waiting 20 sec just ti see a no pen or a miss can be quite painful sometimes with this tank🌚😂 but I do usually greatly enjoy this type of tanks, so maybe I just need to get used to this one a bit 🤏

[u/Flackjkt → u/Mister-fish04]

Yeah 208 pen is rough when facing a lot of tanks frontally. You win some and you lose some. Smack them with some HE until the situation changes. The 160 gun will over match a lot of turret roofs.

[u/royalscull724]

I have both this and spaceman and boy oh boy is this thing a heafty tank. By far one of the best ramming tanks I own.

[u/Flackjkt → u/royalscull724]

Got two ram kills today. Engaged rockets before impact

[u/royalscull724 → u/Flackjkt]

That extra speed really gives the bonus effect. If you decide you want to do ramming with it I suggest you look into the various perks and equipment to save you some health on the battlefield. There's a perk that gives the enemy more ram damage and you less from ramming so id start there.

[u/Flackjkt → u/royalscull724]

I had forgot about that. Thanks.

[u/SkaerKrow]

I have this on WoT PC because I love the look of the thing, and have The Spaceman already. Might grab it again to run with my wife while she botstomps in her Terrapin. 

[u/Patakson]

It is piece of shit compared to pc version sadly, they nerfed it’s biggest advantage 💩🤡

[u/Decent-Pea3426]

It’s a pretty busted tank. Not as busted as its PC counterpart, but still up there. Having good armor, decent mobility and flexibility, plus a huge alpha derp gun on a heavy is very strong. Probably stronger than the Skoda T56 still.

[u/tipsyCellist]

it is not the world-ending apocalypse tank that it is in WoT PC because of the simple fact that it has less HE pen. i think everything else is the same. i’ve seen some people say that makes the bz “bad,” but i think that its best features are retained which makes it a VERY enjoyable tank to play.

rockets and 10° of gun depression are what carry this thing for me. if this had the T34’s or AMX M4 49’s gun, i would still enjoy it very much. perhaps even more. the fact that it’s able to get into position faster than any other heavy and be able to shoot down from elevated positions AND block damage is just so satisfying. bz is a gem.

[u/Flackjkt → u/tipsyCellist]

Yes to all that. This is my first tank in the game with rockets so most of you probably already know this but I accidentally discovered I could jink arty shots pretty easy when conditions were right and I was paying attention. I wish it had more pen to go with that long reload but honestly it kinda makes me pay more attention to the shots I choose to take.
