Yeah, lets put an FV at tier 8, but make it a heavy tank with better armor than its tier 10 counterpart. Now it can bully tier 6s by deleting them in one shoot. Shells guided by the dead hand of Mao himself, spreading 160mm packages of communism. Very good comrade. WG balancing at its finest
@@aristosachaion_ oh yes they are a big part of huge problem... tank will be on crutial positions before any HT at oponent side.... Tank is broken must be nerfed asap
@@lemilivoskodi8960 You don't need to worry, in 6 month they will silently nerf the accuracy of this tank and will give it normal rng. And of course over time they will introduce so many new and better tier 9 and 10 premium tanks that even a tank like BZ-176 will be reduced to nothing in a couple of years. Mark my words....
This tank is literally the perfect package,insane alpha with good pen (not to mention the calibre, so you can overmatch a lot of things with AP), 10 degrees of gundep, almost no frontal weakspots and four charges of light tank mobility, only being dampened by the "low" top speed of 45kph. WG thought the Bourrasque will be balanced if its gun is inaccurate and has a long aim time but it turned out that doesn't stop that medium tank from dominating battles. Of course they made the same mistake again, thinking the low gun stats (on paper) will hold the tank back, and of course it doesn't, most of the time.
Actually Bourrasque is quite balanced imho, it requires a lot of skill to be effective with it. Skilled player is very dangerous, while some 400wn8 trash beer enjoyer sucks with it anyway.
@@nuolis ok, so, chieftain P. Depends on player skill. Tier for tier the BZ is better. Chief is good because of the good turret and better mobility. Lets stay with the heavy tanks and talk about the WZ premium... Better not, we r gonna cry. Strv K, is a shit against bz, worse tun handling, worse mobility. The light depends on skill. Its more or less the only one that has an advantage against the Bz. So yeah, it depends
Basically, each tank will be better or worse depending on the skill of the player. The majority of BZ-176 players, so those who bought the tank are players around 3-4k WTR. This means that they are not just trying to break a rock with their heads all day. They are just a "slightly better than average." In English, they are very, very lame. They don't know 70% of good positions, they don't know their tank's weaknesses, and they don't know their enemy either. On such a basis, only those players cry that "the tank is too OP," who are not even that capable. I know that you mostly need height or a good angle to outplay BZ. This means that almost every tank has an advantage over the Bz-176, because that tank has a very weak turret top. At the same time, many people think that is't frontal armor is good, but this is not true either. By the time my Liberté tank was fired at the Emire border. By then I had halved the BZ-176's Hp and even two other tanks against me, so I was alone with minimal support. And yes, I still think the same as before, that there are many other tanks in the game that are much more effective, the Italian Bisonte is a good example of this.
@@valkyriedark7356 i didnt say that it is not possible to win against it. The point was that the BZ176 is better than all tier 9 premiums tier for tier. At least you are right saying that it isn't that op when not played well, but play a bit with your clan 10vs10 ( now its 7vs7 because of cw) u will always face bz. They know how to play, mostly. But for me personally, i dont like the bz, i dont like it because of the gun handling, its better than IS5's and IS3A's, but i dont mind. I like Bisonte much more, its much more reliable, but getting 2 shotted by bz that are just pushing is mad. Its useless to say against when a tank can do such things and hasnt a direct weakness like the caliban has
@@necessaryevil612 it has, the top of the turret. Try to play w high caliber gun, i mean 127mm+++ the bz not like that. If you try some of the tier 9 guns, then you realize, its not that op. Some t8 tanks also has big guns. Like my premium isu with the good old bl10 gun. every side of the bz 176 is green for me. 🤣🤣🤣 So i have to say, his d..k is big, but mine is HUGE.
Just watched an older video of yours and I got to say: Props to you, production quality went up alot. Thanks for creating so entertaining yet informative content.
The edit also shows really well how broken this shit tank is. I dont know if it make more damage in the game or to the game... Like u said : most discusting tank in the game ruining battles rank 6 to rank 10
This is the first tank I ever decided against 3 marking. After getting the first mark in 45 games I felt so dirty and unchallenged that I sold the BZ. Don't care if it puts me at a "disadvantage" when grinding credits this thing is so toxic and bad for game balance I genuinely can't justify playing it.
@@KawaiianArgument tbh the survivability sucks. Since the mm will often make you downtier (3-5-7 mm) you will meet gold slinging tryhards or simply tanks with much more AP pen. Plus they have other stats better. My conclusion: The vipera is a good tank but I had really trash 15-2 which was frustrating. To the point, the vipera is a solid vehicle but it will often meet tanks better in every way. For example: 252u is worse than vipera, but can fight t9 or even t10. Plus the vipera is simply toxic to the user, and the person who fights it. These words came from a caliban enjoyer.
This tank is literally the reason I stopped playing the PC version for good - it's the account with the worst wr as well as wn8 (around 1800 when I was still actively trying) anyways - only ~55% - in blitz I'm at 68% and 2800 wn8 and it's so much more fun - no arty, gold does less dmg so you can't just spam it, smaller teams therefore ones actions matter more, (almost) no 60 km/h heavies, not so many strange extra mechanics, fair equipment as well as crew system ... Overall Feels more true to the game I started playing in January 2013 than the statsrace the PC version has become with unicums and press accounts having 50% better camo and viewrange, and game rigging companies rigging games for stats
261 pens in total 3.17 min: 50 pens 9.28:100 pens 13.26:150 pens 18.18: 200 pens 22.30:250 pens Including the low hp kill shots (4 i guess) might be +-10 bc of the little shooting montageshope i hope its accurate enought... Please like so he sees it
268 pen 266 if you don't count the 2 low HE damage 267 pen if you don't count the blind bush shot since no HIT marker then 265 pen if you don't count the 2 low HE damage in this case
This tank is broken in the hands average players, let alone when you're playing Kajzoo. It would be strong tank if it had a 122mm or 130mm gun, but with the derp gun it's just super broken. Too many gimmicks shoehorned into a single tank. Nice vid, I'm looking forward to the next one.
the hesh pen on this thing is 225, mind you that its just 5mm less than the deathstar and shitbarn being 2 whole tiers lower and it can meet tier 6s. not to mention it has better gun handling and armour than the tier X destroyers.
Wargaming ballancing department new tank ideas: - 400-950 damage per shot explosive rounds that can eazilly penetrate heavy tanks - Front armour comparable to +1 tier heavy tank with minimum weak spots - Good gun depresion - Mobility of a fastest heavy/average medium - Turbo mechanic which turn the tank into EBR for few seconds - Weight/speed ratio good enough to ram kill even higher tear heavies - Accuracy comparable to the best sniper tanks like grill - High base HP, comparable to heavy tanks - High camo for a heavy tank And as cherry on top lets put it behind a lootbox system.
To be fair, most BZ 176 players don't use the tank properly (luckily!) Remember when everyone was outraged about the Cobra? Barely seen on the battlefield nowadays...
They could actually easily "balance" the tank by simply cutting alpha and reload in half. Would keep the tanks dpm intact but reduce the crazy punishment factor for getting spotted at all... Also people could not abuse it as annoying yolo machine anymore. At least they could give in discriminatory match making so it can't meet lower tiers!
I love WG logic: lets nefr progetto because it was played too much and had 3rd most DPG in T10 meds but HT with basically 750 alpha and armor like 277 is fine we will never touch that cause money go brrrr
Tbh Progetto 65 nerf is not surprising me, I mean it sucked a dick before it, but it won't decrease it's statistic, because gun handling and armour weren't the point, the only reason this tank has the best stats from medium tanks it's its clip with low interclip, monkeys yolopush just to make this 1500dmg (that's way more than they could do with any other tank) clip and the tank allows them to do so, so as I said I'm not surprised WG is trying to do something with it, but they completly doesn't get what's the reason of good Progetto 65 server stats XD
For kajzoo is the scientist in streamer world of tanks community,no one push the frontier of science like he does, with soild aim like no one ever in this game, he rewrites scientific barriers and limitation of mere humans and gigachads
Kazjoo I love that I could watch a Kaz video without the voice over and face cam and would instantly know it was you playing. Your playstyle is unlike other creators and ive learned more from watching you just play than others creators instructional vids. I would like to see toy play lightly armored tds like WT AUF PZ IV
this tank is the reason I quit the game. It isn't fun anymore. The t8 premiums have gotten out of hand. t10 is a sweatfest that bleeds credits. I used to enjoy this game a lot back in the day. But irl hobbies and activities at least can't get ruined by game balance or matchmaking. It's not like I was bad at the game either. There is just no fun anymore when you do well but then get oneshot without a single chance of fighting back becuase you ran into a bz 186
The sad thing is that WG does not even seem to comprehend before releasing how OP shit will be combined with their user feedback will result that in 2-3 years this tank will not even be top dog anymore.
Counted 21 ish the first 1,5 minutes. Multiply by length of video, divide by 3,14, then add calculation for armor thickness, I'd say around 204 pens. Possibly 205.
This tank is a bane for farming exp with either tier 7 and tier 8 (imho), it hit like a damn train, frontal armor is just impenetrable, it is slow, yet so bulky that this tank should've been the tier 9 of premium tank, not 8, everytime I see one in my game, it is either on my side or the other, been farming the KV3 for a while to have the IS-2-II, and everytime I see one of those monsters in the enemy team, it's either we destroy it quickly, or it destroys us, I finally am getting used to the KV3, but everytime it's going well, I end up against one of those monster, I am sure it is a fun tank to have, yet not so pleasant to fight against to be honest.
Last year, I gained a little hope in WG but now, I'm seriously considering quitting the game. It's crazy how much things can turn in a short time with WG's monetization strategy. They have made their statement in that 1.20 patch notes. They do not give a shit about our feedbacks and they make changes only for monetization. More broken premium tanks, stupidly bad MM, absolutely shit balancing, "competitive modes"? More like grind fests with even more stupid MM and battle format. On top of that: Black Markets/FOMO left right and center. Everything they do is just to make you pay more for a bad service that is getting even worse. The more I think about it, the more I don't want to keep going with the game even though I've been playing it and loving it for a long time. Truly sad.
260 pens, assuming every kill was a pen (20 dmg on AMBT counted as pen for this reason), not counting blind shots that didn't have a post battle confirmation screenshot.
Thanks for the climb tip I learned the other climb on that map on my own but that will be useful when playing this tank. Also this tank is broken I do not know what wg was thinking .
My thoughts exactly - they really went to far this time. I am not going to spend any more cash on Tier VIII premiums - I simply can't see the point anymore.
I counted 265 , I'm guessing I'm so wrong . But the real Question is, did you hit and penned that Pta on Ruinberg. Also hart to tell , if every kill shot was a pen. But I had fun counting and watching :).
WG went too far this time🤣??? And here I thought they went too far every single f*cking time they release a stronk tonk ever since EBRs got introduced...😑
Since they are now going to nerf this thing, let's buff the Caliban by doubling both of the shells’ velocity and it's gun handling and the penetration of the HE round from 180 to 225, then the BZ won't be overpower any more.😀
