BZ-176: The Most BROKEN Tank in World of Tanks! 

Yesterday I played a T6 game vs a BZ. The T6 players started laughing in chat, counting who is 1 shot to the BZ and who might be able to pen it in perfect situation.

I haven't played WoT in a while so I wasn't aware of this tank. Whole time I was watching the video I was thinking "I don't see what the big deal is, this tank seems kinda bad for a tier X"... imagine my surprise when I realized it's a tier 8! Ridiculous.

I never thought WG will do anything more stupid than EBRs. Boy, oh boy was I wrong..

BZ-176 is a pure Pay-to-Win tank, WG is spitting on us and we are acting like it's just a rain.

The worst part about this tank isn’t the stats, it’s that it looks absolutely sexy as a tank. Disgusting.

Two days ago I was playing in M-III-Y hull down and I got hit by bz from 250m distance in copula for 850 dmg then I got destroyed by one spg shot. This is what wot is all about

Enjoying bully bz with some tier 9 hull down beast cuz they were just well deserved, never hate a tank so much before bz came out.

I was having such a good time on wot today... But then I remembered this tank exists

Don't worry, wargaming next year probably will release a Russian Bz with double barrelll bz guns

And there are people who try to defend this tank by saying it's balanced. lmao

At the very least it should have reverse pref mm, where it can only see tier 8, 9, & 10

Whenever I play with Tiger 131 or Cromwell and I meet this thing is just so unfair and so damn demoralizing is not even funny. WG devs sure were having a great party when they introduced this monstrosity 🖕

nothing is worse than a 3 BZ-176 platoon in enemy team.

I think this tank might have finally cured my addiction

You know it’s boring Christmas loot box tanks this year when both Dez and Skill have to bring out last years tank to make content

What I don't understand why they gave it such good armor too. With a worse armor would have been a lot more balanced.

I have no doubt in my mind, that WG will sell this piece of sheet when it'll be thoroughly powercrept

For the good sake. We need more E75 players. A T9 tank that almost immune to BZ176's shell frontaly. Let them taste their own medicine.

He says it's the most broken tank in the game, yet he got 1,4M xp in the tank :v

I stopped buying anything from WG after they put this broken tank in boxes. Most tier 8 tanks have arround 300 pen and shit gun and ship armour... This one got sniper gun 800 pen and unbelievable armour

I watched a O-I (that’s right tier six heavy) wreck a bz-176 with HE rounds in the top of its turret. Bz would shoot he would push out and snap the roof of the turret. Then go into cover. This tank is pretty toxic cause of how easy it allows anyone good or bad at the game to have a heavy if not total influence of the game. A whole class has that effect it’s called arty.

The worst of this BZ-176 is that WG seem to be getting away with releasing this kind of broken, or I should better say "over-the-top-broken", tanks into the game. WG should seriously consider reimbursing (nerfing is likely not possible for legal reasons, would be getting back to a done deal) players who have this tank to get it out of the game. But they won't cause we keep spending money on the game.

“This tank shouldn’t be in the game”. Was said about the Type 59 like 6 years ago. The 176 WILL be sold again once it’s nerfed. Or once WG want a influx of cash.

Ah yes, the tank that finally made me uninstall about a year ago.

Man... I gave up on this game, it's very pay to win, and after this tank was released I saw that this isn't going to stop.💸💰💸

WG should never sell this tank again!

I don't understand the people saying "wg should never well this tank again" You either remove it for everybody or you make it cccessible for everyone

The fact it does over 800 dog at t8 and other tanks in t10 with same or longer reload and they only do 600? Kind of garbage that they let this happen

Please Skill! You are someone for Wargaming, please mention or tell them something about BZ because everyone hates it. Those who got it last Christmas can be happy, those who don't have to suck it, so they don't even have a chance to try this tank, because it can't be bought and it can't be nerfed... This tank perfectly reflects Wargaming and the players it employs, its interests and their representation. ...because there is a RESPONSIBILITY for the gaming experience of so many people! (Thank you for reading!)

some tanks need preferential MM but in reverse, this tank should never see tier 6 and probably tier 7 as well.

Idk but i always enjoy bullying BZ with my Jagdpizda by putting a gold shell anywhere in their turret to give them some of their own medicine. It always gets me how they RAGE after getting hit lmao or try to trade you for 50-150 dmg cuz they cant get through the frontal armor at all and idk if they CAN get through the 200mm effective armor (i THINK, correct me if wrong) lower plate but you dont see Jagdpizda's lower plate that often. Aside from that, playing bond premium tanks vs that thing doesnt feel good at all. I mean luckily i play t 34-3 who can block BZ shells if they dont hit his cupolas on the turret but still, you could say that hitting BZ cupolas is a very hard task because they are small actually and thats the only place you CAN pen it so you are still at a disadvantage. Still, you may resist actually so maybe (??) your team can flank him or something.

Yesterday I was grinding the AMX M4 45 and got a game against a triple 176 platoon. We had a single one but the dude couldn't dish out enough damage between the enemy toon deleting us hp piñata tier 6-7s so he eventually succumbed to them. Landslide loss and man this grind is going really slow...

Everytime I queue with this tank I always say in chat “time to ruin someone’s day”

10 Videos in a Year... Broken BZ176... Can you make other BZ Videos? xD

how did you turn so fast with rockets active (5:46)

I still can't make mine work properly. Either it's a miss or 80 DMG for a hit... Or zero in case of tier X, which I can't penetrate at all.

Much as I hate that this tank is in the game, not allowing others access by never selling it again is even worse. I want the chance to get some stat padding and FUN in this tank, having faced off against it so much now. I wish it were balanced, or that WG would have some balls and BALANCE PREMIUM TANKS instead of doing stupid stuff like this and just letting it be broken. I just want one, so I can have some payback. Same reason I have any arty at all, because sometimes I just have to respond in kind to the crap gameplay they bring.

I know WG is fishing for interest to see if enough of the community approves of them trying to sell it again, because they know they will make lots of quick $$$. If they do sell it, all it will do is hasten the long term death of tier 6-8 gameplay and make more people abandon the game. This tank is the reason I will not give WG money any more after 12 years of being a paying customer.

I hope WG will bring this tank back because otherwise its unfair for all who do not have it. Especially when WG does not have the balls to delete the tank from the game. But I think WG should at least handle this tank like artys....No teams should be possible with 2 or more BZ176.

Out of the roughly 80 games I have played in this tank I have had 1 good match. All these shots I watch you consistently make in it would bounce or simply not even touch what I aim at Playing against these tanks I have been unable to pen them even shooting them in the back with my obj 277. Yet when I play the tank everyone seems to be able to pen me no matter what angle they have on my.

So many BZ-176 platoons this holiday ops, not fun.

Whenever I see this tank in T6 match, I quit. BZ is the same exact thing that is happened before with Type-59. They will later resell this tank like they did with the Type.

Why all contributors speak about bz-176 today 🤔

Hopefully this tank never sees the store or boxes ever again, but WG just doesn't care

Tbh i seen the live streams and not every game went like this right ... There were enough of the games with 2xxx damage last year bz was broken now it looks more balanced i.m.o with the other tanks that were in the loot boxes this year. There are somany broken tanks in the game i am glad to see you play good with the bz but ask ur average joe to play with this tank and he wont come close to what ur doing in it maybe once in a full moon but deffintly not every game ..... (Myself included ) Yes if u get matched up with tier 6 ull smack them but go against players who know what they are doing and its gg because if u know how to fight this tank it is not that hard and u can get focused hard. I know there are allot of haters on this tank but to see this tank 10 times a year gettin burned while there are other tanks that also are OP is enough for me to write this .. hope i dint break any glass for sum people just my gave my oponion on it. love the stream and vids keep up the good work :) o/

Yeah everyone keep saying WG shouldn't sell this tank again but allot of players got it that's why no balance in the game that's an wg need to sell it so each side got one at least it get balanced

WG need to just removed the BZ-176 or make it for sale all the time.

Yesterday my day was terrible due to BZ chasing my Bourrasque in hill and smacking me for 900, he was second after Bourrasque to climb hill on iced map, second disgusting shot was arty of tier 8 shot me for 1075 in face.

11:28 Caught in 4k

They should sell it again! Dezgames says it shouldnt be sold again.... he says playing the tank... so he can shoot us with it but we cannot get a chance to shoot him with it?

Came back to this game after a long break first match i went into with my tier 8 heavy almsot got 1 shot by this tank and i just alt F4ed and havn't opened the game since. These pay to win tanks are so infuriating for us casuals. World of tanks is a better game to watch people play then to play yourself lol.

Ya, WG should balance Gold shell like Blitz, that's what balances everything.

Playstyle, and the most important is match making. Skill always fight against the tourists

should make that a 5 shot auto reloader

BZ 176 doesn't belong in Tier 8 it should be at least Tier 9 or 10

Watching BZ-176 gameplay is like watching paint peel. Absolutely no excitement. More scout gameplay please!

Hi Skill... I know WOT pushes the limits on some tanks, being an old dog myself. BUT, rockets on tanks. That's all I'm going to say..!!

Skeeeel - check out how OP the AVRE is on console. It broke the game. It was free with 6k gold season pass. Tier 10. Fv215b 183 gun. Has a shovel on the front that is 50mm and makes it almost impossible to pen the hull. Has a CRAZY strong centurion turret that I have only penned ONE TIME frontally out of hundreds of shots. Concealment is around 320, which is INSANE. 16 second reload with equipment (Deathstar is 24 ish for comparison) It does 400-600 on a non-pen EVERY SHOT. On pen it breaks TONS of equipment and kills several crew. The ONLY downside is the gun depression over the front because of the shovel. It gets like 2 degrees. The only problem is that that doesn't matter because you can't pen it frontally anyway. If there are 3 grouped pushing a side, that side is lost. Your ONLY options are to try to flank, counter with 3 AVRE on your team, or lose. This tank is a plague. I only have 2 matches in it, 1 was eyes closed select random tier 10 and the other was because I lost a bet and had to play it. Both times, it was absolute seal clubbing. It felt like playing a tier 12. The first game, I just drove towards the enemy team on heavy line. Bounced 8.5k damage and did 5k. Second game I actually played it and got 8k with 4k spotting. PLEASE CALL WG OUT FOR THIS!!!

I enjoy my BZ. Sorry but this month when all bots and kids come out from the caves - nothing else will I play other than BZ. Total troll tank! :)

Every time you see a competent player in this thing on the opposing team you just know whichever flank it heads to is already lost to you. I just message’BZ BS’ and head for the other flank to at least get some damage before the defeat. Should be up tiered and the credit bonus halved; no t6 or t7 should ever have to see this monstrosity.

“What the fuck are you doing here”? lol.

I got my first 10k damage game in my BZ-176, I would happily give it back for a refund from WG, its ruining tier 6,7 and 8, same with my Barro and tier 8 wheely, easiest thing would actually be to buff them to be tier 9 premiums, at least tier 6 would be saved, same with the leffe arty,

Hope they bring this beast on sale

The other day I was in a team fighting against a two BZ-176 platoon. Forget it.

thank god i have the caliban! i get TWO shots of 850 damage! unfortunately 80% of the time you will miss the shot and 19% of the time when it lands it doesn't penetrate and just does 100-200 damage. BUT that 1% of the time one of the 2 shells will pen and after doing 850 damage you will reload for 1 minute. i think the aim time is longer than the reload though.

I wanted to ask you in some stream twitch about the merch but you just answered it in the video, yeees! 🎉

WG should just nerf it. In fact, what WG should do right now is put a disclamer with every tank sold saying something like :"this tank could be reajusted/balanced in the future".

I want this tank on wot blitz asap, they’re about to add the bz line so they have to add the prem at some point

You should get the "Battle Hits Viewer" mod, you can see where you hit enemy tanks and where enemy tanks hit you with the angle and penetration calculator. This way if you bounce a Grille 15 you will be able to see after the game why and how.

I personally don't really care how OP this thing is because I rarely see them and when I do they are making some of the worst plays I've ever seen, I just hate how the tier 5 chinese type t34 has like 5 degrees of gun depression with it's tiny 57mm but this 160mm beast has 10 degrees, what a load of bs, not to mention them buffing it's roof so it doesn't get overmatched.

It's not the only broken tank WG have sold. Like the PzV/IV that destroys Tier 5 games, In fact in every tier there are BZ-176 game braking equivalents. Either WG are extremely incompetent or greedy, but I think probably both.

6:10 Farming Simulator 2023.

It should not get insane alpha damage and absurd armor for the br and speed from the rockets this tank has no downsides.

Am I really the only one who can't make this piece of crap work? I run it with 3 skills crew, bond equipment(vents, rammer, stabilizer) and rations, and I hate it with all my heart. The gun hits 2 out of 5 shots in it's good days and it feels like it has the mobility of a freight ship. I had way better games and more constant ones in AMX 65t or T34 and I would choose those over the BZ at any time of day.

Total amazing our Baboon King 🔥💪

it has to be nerfed.. nothing at its tier can compete .. tier 10 can gold spam and maybe go through its turret

Even that got this vehicle, i thinknit shouldn't existed. And im very glad that this year is not in loot boxes ❤ less bz is better for a game

Played about 10 games in mine and it made me look good and I’m a ok player. Feel dirty playing it and it’s been collecting dust every since. This tank should never get -2 MM.

With all respect to you, I have NO respect for this tank what so ever. Need a big NRF

6:20 what the actual fuck XDD

Not selling the BZ-176 again is not good enough. At the very least they should up its tier to tier 9 so it never meets tier 6 tanks.

I can say honestly i never use this tank myself, but honestly, when i face them as enemy (driving same tier) it really do not scare me for any reason, i usually manage to fight against them without so many problem, try to avoid them only if they are platooning with other bz, for example when i play t32, im usually happy to find them, cause i farm them without even asking their name…of course if i play tier 6 or something i just run like a crazy mothertrucker who has robbed a bank 😂

I saw something about EBR races in wot facebook and you are in the list of racers xD when will it happen?

And what is the point of this video, all of you who have a BZ 178 are saying that it is too strong of a tank and that it should never be found in a store again. Because you do not support the thesis that this tank should be withdrawn from the game, or that it should get a balance equal to 8 tiers. But it's great for you, and others don't have to have it.

"Could be better" says Skill. Why do you make me feel like I want to punch a baboon? :D

BZ-176 is overpower, let's buff the game!

no money for wg aslong i cant buy it or it get removed , i dont bought anyhting since 8 months, also i paid 200 for boxes they year with BZ and dont got it. this was the last money

Yeah I remember when I was doing my first mark on 277 and I was in tier 8 and BZ pen me with HE for 900 and ram me for 300 and I ram him for 0 perfectly balanced tank( p.s. I managed to do my 1 mark on 277)

I thought it was the T95FV4201 lol

The solution is easy. Bump it to a tier 9 tank. Dont change anything on the tank, dont let it earn credits, just bump it to tier 9. Save at least the tier 6's

Grey hair is better than no hair, good day Skill.

getting sick of all the ppl complaining about this tank. I am so angry that I missed getting my hands on it too.

Sweet work, Skill!

I'm 52. I suck. But I have two Kolobanov medals. I will take them to my grave.

Is there a possibility of this tank returning to the game, either through an event or even in the premium store?

WG should never sell this tank again???... I think quite opposite.. WG should sell this more to bring equillibrium to the game.

this broken can BARELY hits his shots

this gun and this turret shouldnt be combined in a tank also the cost of a gold shot in this tank is too low for its potential

This tank is a textbook example of: "Fck this sht, I'm out" 😂

They should give the BZ preferred matchmaking also to complete the sodomy.
