BZ-176 Chinese tier 8 Heavy. The stupidest premium tank ever added to the game. Patreon; / clauskellerman Merch! teespring.com/... Facebook; / clauskellerman Twitter; / clauskellerman
Guys I hope you like the NO BS reviews live where I show my first 2 or 3 games. I could play 50 games and post the 2 best like some other content providers do. But that is FALSE ADVERTISING in my opinion! Have a great weekend!
Now it's every game have like 3-5 BZ-176 , troll tank and true over 50 games I got 2 marks and 48 game less then 2k dmg or even 0 dmg that RNG is trolling me soo bad 500m snap shot on target , miss 3 m shot gun to gun all the time , dice is too bad atleast for me. Hope new Chinese tank tree will not be so destructive to the game!Cheers Claus for great content!
Hover tanks will be next. The game will have futuristic tanks from the year 2120 and still have the same ol' crappy fucking maps with all the problems.
Keep in mind kids, Claus is using a crew with all the skills trained up and still missing shots and not penning when he does. Your crew will probably not perform as well.
This is why I watch Warp 103, as well. He uses the stock crew that comes with the vehicle or he will put a stock one in there so there will be no extra ability.
@@HOTA_CHATON well it is a prem tank so most would put the best crew they can in there it would never be too smart in this game to go into a tier6+ game with stock crew you will always end up on my team
And it has been unofficially silly for a long, long, looong time... Claus, you look devastated. Please don't quit, without your videos this blatant sh-t-show will make no sense. By the way, if I have to play lately, I experience a feeling close to pain.
Yeah, WOT is going the slope down. It was more logical with 3 nations (US, German, and Soviet) everything what came later was slowly more and more silly (UK line still somehow ok, but every new lines and tanks ...) If they add flying tanks nobody will be surpised.
@Claus --- The BZ has 10 degrees of depression but when you tilt the barrel down, a weak spot pops up in the middle of the tanks roof which can be overmatched. If face hugging, do not face hug something taller than your tank. If you don't have a choice, keep the gun up so the barrel doesn't make the weak spot rise up ! Hope this helps !
@@LimerickWarrior1 Button down that flapping upper lip of yours, goofy, before I staple it to the ceiling and watch you spin around like a fart-powered ceiling fan.
This year is the year of make believe. Aside from this tank, there is the light that shoots 3 shots rapid fire and the Frankenstein tank with the Jacobs ladder. I knew that World of Tanks was veering from historic when they started adding tanks that only existed in cocaine induced delirium, but at least those bad ideas made it to the drawing boards rather than being pulled from the trash bin. It's time to pull the plug on this game. War Thunder here I come.
WOT has become a meme game. Looks like there might be a niche opening up for authentic tank games. Thanks Claus for another realistic review. Merry Christmas to you and marty.
When you depress the gun, its internal bit is oscillating (it’s how you get the 10° in such a low turret with a massive gun) and that creates a hump of turret roof that is overmatchable, that’s my guess.
Finally! Someone else that has noticed that the game is all over the place! That ghost shell, the one that disappeared, happens every game and more frequently. Also, enemy tanks can go back and forward, turn turret, snap you from 300 meters and hit the capola. I believe that apart from farming platoons there must be aimboting in the game as well. Great videos Claus! Keep it up!
Last time i bought loot boxes i got an IS 3 A and walked away from the game shortly after that. I come back a short time ago pick up some boxes and got this " thing " along with the Tier 8 TD the SMV CC - 64 Vipera auto loader , which is not to bad but the one i like best is the tier 5 German KV the Pz.KW1... Great review and i could not agree with you more, i thought the game was broken years ago now there is no doubt !
I heard you once said they will make tier 11 with lock misile cruise rockets. You will have the posibilitly to lock enemy tank from the base and kill it. We are actually not far from that. :)
Seen some 10 vs 10 skirmishes where one clan uses 10 of those BZ-176 tanks and its just a joke. They rocket boost into initial positions and slap enemy for around 800 each.
WG should sell Artillery that can create concealment (fog). it either lowers view range to 20m for all inside the fog, or it makes tanks inside the fog increase their concealment to 80% this would be so cool and create real tactical purpose for arty.
WG a suggestion for you. How about introducing tanks that can dematerialise and re materialise somewhere else. Or an Iron Man tank that can fly, hover and shot down on other tanks whilst travelling at 500km/hour. Cmon we have invisible tanks, ghost shells and rocket tanks my suggestions cant be far off.
Claus you expose your tank when not loaded, shoot when not aimed, make about ten other mistakes, but yet it is a stupid tank? Meanwhile every other CC are saying this tank is the new meta and OP and having played almost 50 matches in it myself I agree with them. Maybe, just maybe, WG -- you know the company you're making your living off of -- is trying to keep things fresh in a video game that is over a decade old, a dinosaur by any measure in this industry. The boosters allow a new dynamic for tankers that can think on their feet, like the guy that flanked you, or when I moved from one cover to another enemy shots. Anyway, this is the "no bs channel" and that's my no bs assessment of your video. Keep on keepin' on!
Next up for Yuri, Jack Rabbit maneuvers. The ability for your tank to spring right over top of the opponent and shoot them from the other side lol. BTW, you had me rolling with the jet propulsion animation when you ran across the screen 😂🤣
Claus your third attempt was typical of 50% of my games. Somehow always in the wrong place, just missing the kill shot, just missing for no apparent reason until finally in frustration losing my cool and failing an attempt at a glorious kamikaze death to at least not finish bottom. Then as feeling depressed receiving a message from a 12 year old team mate imploring me to uninstall the game and calling me obscene names. My following 4 games I will then come between top and 3rd in the leaderboard but my team will always lose. Finally after many attempts I will come near the top or top and be on the winning team. Then the process is repeated.
The game was originally a WW2 tank game. Then WG made it arcade so they could money grab. The players went along with that for which WG were very grateful. You can go onto Steam and buy a load of games for the same money as 200 loot boxes and have hours of fun. Horses for courses.
I think your videos are entertaining and fun to watch Claus, I like your attitude straight to the point no bull crap that's the kind of person I like. You are a funny bloke not boring the least only person I know who could talk about paint drying and still make it interesting and funny lol Keep making your videos.
Agree Claus. The RNG has taken actual skill outta players hands for a while now. The RNG is so far out of date that it's pathetic. Totally unrealistic and instead of improving, it continues to get worse. Nothing worse than a complete aim for a miss, then watching a shell that clearly hits behind a targeted tank give you a sweet damage roll! Woohoo go WG RNG!!
Can't wait for the new premium that has a laser instead of gun, lay mines when moving and can activate a forcefield shield that block all incoming damage for 2 mins.
The lower plate is super tuff on it. Almost no reason to hide it. I dont think it is overpowered but it is definitely a pain in the a*ss to face off against.
@@TurbineFlyer you are a perfect example of the saying.You spend your money for a fucking pixel. By spending your money you show support for WG who condones and more than likely supports active cheaters.But hey it’s your money , so the saying fits ,”A fool and their money are soon parted”. Also you can’t fix stupid.
I will say I’ve enjoyed this tank. It just works better than the Caliban in most situations…certainly better at distance. I actually like this more than any tank from last year.
No Poo Poo Comment... I totally appreciate this review and your comments Claus. Having served as an Infantryman in a Mechanized Company for 4 years, that means I worked out of APC's very closely with Tanks, this game has no idea of what realism is. It is an Arcade Game. There is nothing realistic about it, never has been and very likely never will be. I cant even go into all of the unrealism, too much. But I totally agree that adding a jet pack to a tank is ridiculous, what's next year's trick, wings and fins?
its about fun, there is still tanks that are historic. but ultimately it is just fun. war thunder seems to be more realistic game, in terms of tanks. if you like that.
Next up, developers will add 1. Smoke grenade launchers. 2. Laser range finders. 3. Anti armor missile launchers. 4. Reactive armor. 5. Reconnaissance drones. 6. Ramming spikes on front. 7. Heat seeking shells........... I know what you're saying; "Don't give WG ideas, they may use them!" But believe me when I say, they've already thought of it but know they can only roll out so much crazy at a time without driving the player base into sanatoriums.
@@ellsworth1956 Good point, but to make it interesting let's assume they would add smoke in a rainbow of colors so when you hit the smoke it looks like a bad drug trip in front of the tank.
I like how they make roof 41 instead of 40, its actually huge difference since there is alot of 120mm guns in this game and to overmatch this roof you need 123+
You used your rockets to propel you into that last one. The rockets are for leaving quickly. I lol quite a bit during the third game. Thanks, I needed that. Now you go and watch this whole video, so you can laugh at yourself. It's good for you.
@@1989Falkor It is if you have enough braincells to make it work. 160mm gun can overmatch the roof of most tanks, and 225 pen is more than enough to go through the lower plate of almost any tier 8 heavy.
@@1989Falkor Gun handling and accuracy on the BZ is similar to that of the IS-5, which is absolutely insane for a gun that does 800 damage. You should have an equipment setup that maximizes gun performance. I'd recommend bond vstabs, bounty IAU, and rammer.
I think because increasing price for fuel right now, jet/rocket booster is just make sense lol. Oh enemy can pen u cus the gun part just stick out in the open if u use full gun depression, just move the gun on the armor inspector
I already saw one 5.5k and one 6.3k damage game in T8 with this tank. This tank is broken as hell if your RNG is great, useless if your RNG is poor. Cannot pen this tank from the front.
The Chinese did actually experiment with this. Though they never made the tank in WoT, it was only part of a concept idea for something that they could put the rocket boosters on if they proved useful. Which they did not, they were to expensive, didn't create as much thrust as was expected and there just wasn't that big of a need for them so after only a few short months of testing, it was dropped.
Ok, Klaus, if you read this, i played about 50 games so far with it. Tank is extremely situational, and yes, very unrealistic. Use AP rounds and you can overmatch top of your self easy. You really need all mods unlocked, and must go for aim time reduction, dispersion is too horrible to fix, but aim time can be better and tank can be usable. Boosters are BS if you're not using Turbo, with Turbo tank gets really fun to drive, it can climb slopes with 40km/h speed etc, but then you have totake cut on either DPM, Accuracy, or play without Vents which basically makes no sense as reticle will bloom like crazy and your aim time will be horrible even with aim reduction. Overall, i can' support play style of this tank, as no matter how good your crew is, you need premium everything on it, and then it gets expensive to play, plus if you're stuck with bad team, vs opponents who know how to counter you (wait for you to shoot, knowing they have around 20 second to kill you) you're pretty much dead. It's fun against lower tiers, but it's painful to play against tier X. This was last time i fell for lootboxes and invested like 100 euros to get AMBT, this one and that tier 9 French light tank.
I find the AP to be a lot more consistent honestly, overmatching roofs and engine decks is always fun. Set an IS-3A on fire from full health the other day, poor soul didnt have fire extinguishers
It's a new (silly) tank added to the game, and will get played because it is novelty, which will soon wear off, when players get bored with it after the players have filled WG's coffers....😀 Didn't that happen to the Chrysler (and some others) when that first came out?
I can't afford to gamble on loot boxes. Finances are a bit tight, so I am having to manage with my regular tanks. However, since the latest update, some of my regulars don't seem to have the accuracy that they had in Novemer. My T29 for example has gone completely to crap when after careful aiming. It misses more than it hits. Has there been some nerfs in 1.19 to the regular tanks, in order to promote the loot box tanks?
@@1989Falkor - a few days to weeks at most after researching a tech-tree tank, WG nerfs it. I have given up researching the tech tree and now play mostly my premiums.
OMG (1) HESH does NOT over-match, it's only AP which can over-match. (2) Ventilation outlet is not a hit box on IS-M, only cupola is. (3) 1 positive: well played on Fjords going to E4 but NEGATIVE: just do not stop there boiz if it's clean as you loose half your HP (as featured) unless you commit to rock D4 and later D3 - leapfrogging strategy.
Didn’t Dez do a review where they are testing a flamethrower mechanic? Maybe they put that on this tank with jet propulsion feature. Ok next year’s loot boxes.
I personally like the rocket boosters as a concept but they should be a piece of equipment like vents or turbo, same with tracks/concrete/extra armor plates.
Wargaming in 2023 be like: This is a new orbital cannon tier 8 that can blow up any tanks ammo rack with a red superheating laser in 2 seconds for only 900 dollars.
I saw you open the box for this one. Jet propulsion is bullshit. Will tanks have anti-gravity next? Stupid. Thanks Claus. You're the best 20 minutes on YT on a cold work day.
He did WOWS content years ago, not sure why he stopped playing WOWS, I think if you go back and look at his older content you can still find some. Of course none of it will be current.
Guys I hope you like the NO BS reviews live where I show my first 2 or 3 games. I could play 50 games and post the 2 best like some other content providers do. But that is FALSE ADVERTISING in my opinion! Have a great weekend!
I got trolled by one of them, I had my tank well angled, and his shot over penetrated so it didn't matter
Every time you play the BZ - 176 Claus, you need Rocket Man by Elton John playing in the background! 🤑
At what point does the fiction take over from the reality?
Question to self in 2014 regards war gaming tech tree bollox.
Yea you dont have to put in the best of 50 but you could play better if you try to know more about the game you play!
Now it's every game have like 3-5 BZ-176 , troll tank and true over 50 games I got 2 marks and 48 game less then 2k dmg or even 0 dmg that RNG is trolling me soo bad 500m snap shot on target , miss 3 m shot gun to gun all the time , dice is too bad atleast for me.

When you depress the gun, its internal bit is oscillating (it’s how you get the 10° in such a low turret with a massive gun) and that creates a hump of turret roof that is overmatchable, that’s my guess.
When I opened an account, I thought WoT was going to be a tank game
This is the first year I decided not to buy xmas boxes. Best decision ever!
Why?
worst decision ever. Now everyone has a BZ-176 except you.
Remember when 'WoT' stood for World of Tanks?
LOL now it should be called World of Dice.
What is it now, World of Trolls!? LOL!
now it stands for "world of turds" lol....."world of trolls" maybe?
now its called Wankers on Thorazine
Its both i guess : world of trolling turds
Wow WG did it. They actually made a tank sillier than the wheeled tanks.
Shout out to Akanailshot_2015 for the flanking kill of the year on Claus. I laughed when he zoomed by on his screen
Well, we have clown cars already, so jet propelled troll gun is next logical step
Claus: -Wait, all this game is a ridiculous RNG shitshow?!
WG: -Always has been.
Finally! Someone else that has noticed that the game is all over the place! That ghost shell, the one that disappeared, happens every game and more frequently. Also, enemy tanks can go back and forward, turn turret, snap you from 300 meters and hit the capola. I believe that apart from farming platoons there must be aimboting in the game as well.

I am guessing that after the novelty wears off, the accuracy will drop. There will be no pixel shots in a few months.
eh, using bond equipment I got the accuracy down to 0.35, I've got a 85% hitrate in mine

"This game has officially become ridiculous..." five years ago.

Seen some 10 vs 10 skirmishes where one clan uses 10 of those BZ-176 tanks and its just a joke. They rocket boost into initial positions and slap enemy for around 800 each.
They don't even have jet propelled tanks (outside of some of the fun modes) in freaking Blitz and that is a cartoon tank arcade game.

Or straight up howitzers that can 1 shot a tank from the unknown, let's make it Premium.
That's too realistic for WarGaming, maybe drone-guided rockets would be a possibility
I wish WoT would give us a strictly historic or real tanks option. These imaginary tanks are wrecking the game for me.

Though they never made the tank in WoT, it was only part of a concept idea for something that they could put the rocket boosters on if they proved useful. Which they did not, they were to expensive, didn't create as much thrust as was expected and there just wasn't that big of a need for them so after only a few short months of testing, it was dropped.
Ok, Klaus, if you read this, i played about 50 games so far with it. Tank is extremely situational, and yes, very unrealistic. Use AP rounds and you can overmatch top of your self easy. You really need all mods unlocked, and must go for aim time reduction, dispersion is too horrible to fix, but aim time can be better and tank can be usable. Boosters are BS if you're not using Turbo, with Turbo tank gets really fun to drive, it can climb slopes with 40km/h speed etc, but then you have totake cut on either DPM, Accuracy, or play without Vents which basically makes no sense as reticle will bloom like crazy and your aim time will be horrible even with aim reduction. Overall, i can' support play style of this tank, as no matter how good your crew is, you need premium everything on it, and then it gets expensive to play, plus if you're stuck with bad team, vs opponents who know how to counter you (wait for you to shoot, knowing they have around 20 second to kill you) you're pretty much dead. It's fun against lower tiers, but it's painful to play against tier X. This was last time i fell for lootboxes and invested like 100 euros to get AMBT, this one and that tier 9 French light tank.
Saw Skill play tank last night and he was overmatching roof consistently with AP
Just like when the EBR's came out. WG does not care. They only want the matches to be faster.
"we're just gonna shoot HE at eachother's turret here I guess"
Omg Claus no, you shoot AP at the BZ, right above the gun...
it officially became silly to me a long time ago
I find the AP to be a lot more consistent honestly, overmatching roofs and engine decks is always fun. Set an IS-3A on fire from full health the other day, poor soul didnt have fire extinguishers
It's a new (silly) tank added to the game, and will get played because it is novelty, which will soon wear off, when players get bored with it after the players have filled WG's coffers....😀
Didn't that happen to the Chrysler (and some others) when that first came out?
In my day it was called JUMPING THE SHARK.
I can't afford to gamble on loot boxes. Finances are a bit tight, so I am having to manage with my regular tanks. However, since the latest update, some of my regulars don't seem to have the accuracy that they had in Novemer. My T29 for example has gone completely to crap when after careful aiming. It misses more than it hits. Has there been some nerfs in 1.19 to the regular tanks, in order to promote the loot box tanks?
T29 was just nerfed, I quit playing it myself.
@@1989Falkor - a few days to weeks at most after researching a tech-tree tank, WG nerfs it. I have given up researching the tech tree and now play mostly my premiums.
Guide for this tank, just spam full gold at everything and loose 50k credits every game, enjoy.
Rocket boosted maybe, not Jets! Its like WG thinking that magazines are called clips.
The gun is derpy af. Shells rarely go where intended and pen is a crap shoot.
A platoon of 3, rockets blazing, would make one hell of a derping Ram train
OMG
(1) HESH does NOT over-match, it's only AP which can over-match.
(2) Ventilation outlet is not a hit box on IS-M, only cupola is.
(3) 1 positive: well played on Fjords going to E4 but NEGATIVE: just do not stop there boiz if it's clean as you loose half your HP (as featured) unless you commit to rock D4 and later D3 - leapfrogging strategy.
Every shot that has hit me from these tasks so far has done 750+ damage, mostly 800 something. Way op special RNG
Didn’t Dez do a review where they are testing a flamethrower mechanic? Maybe they put that on this tank with jet propulsion feature. Ok next year’s loot boxes.
I personally like the rocket boosters as a concept but they should be a piece of equipment like vents or turbo, same with tracks/concrete/extra armor plates.
next will be a tank that can deploy a 400mm shield or a light tank that can deploy drones
Howitzers on a truck chassis.
Hehe, the other tank game not made by WG has alreay done both of that, in the form of a command skill and TD special ability respectively.
Wargaming in 2023 be like: This is a new orbital cannon tier 8 that can blow up any tanks ammo rack with a red superheating laser in 2 seconds for only 900 dollars.
Thanks Buddy, not having much luck getting it to work for me
That shell is traveling to infinity and beyond! 🤣
I quit this game two years ago, Best thing i ever done. Love u claus! Keep up the good work!
It must be a really nice experience when you meet this thing in a tier 6 game ..... Driving your tier 6 tank with some 140 pen
I saw you open the box for this one. Jet propulsion is bullshit. Will tanks have anti-gravity next? Stupid. Thanks Claus. You're the best 20 minutes on YT on a cold work day.
The BZ is definitely one of the most OP tanks iv played, super fun and average over 3k damage every game.
The jet boosters are actually historically accurate - the Chinese really did experiment with rocket boosted tanks.
Adults have the money to play yet they are making tanks for kids. Jet boosters. What a shame.
It's an arcade tank game with many paper tanks. This is just another on the list for this crap game
The Russians actually made rocket booster tanks, you can even see footage of them online. The Chinese planned to make some but never got around to it.
The Jet boosters are awesome for steep hills like Himmelsdorf.
trolled and played like a muppet shooting the ground crashing into rocks and out flanked by a jet powered tank marvelous
Well, at least in the last game you had a magical sixty-nine damage. 😆 OK, next they need a tank that runs around on spider legs. 🤣
Claus, the gun on BZ is not 122mm but 160 mm, so yes math is hard...for some of you...🙂So if you meet another BZ load AP and aim for the turret top
I actually use this tank as a RAMMER, and I die laughing each time I ram an enemy heavy tank for 8xx dmg - lol 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I wish Claus would tackle World of Warship like he does tanks
He did WOWS content years ago, not sure why he stopped playing WOWS, I think if you go back and look at his older content you can still find some. Of course none of it will be current.
The hair flick and calling it mariokart 😂😂😂😂 dead!! At 4:01 😂😂😂
Nice to see you smile :)
Accidentally jetting towards the enemy and unable to reverse was funny. I hope this tank doesn't last or is removed for historical fights.
