WoT Supertest: BZT-70

The BZT-70, a Tier X Chinese assault heavy tank is equipped with a massive 180 mm gun. This, together with thick armor, defines this vehicle. The hulking heavy weighs 110 tons and has four tracks (like the U.S. T95 tank destroyer, which influenced its design). The BZT-70 is sluggish with a top speed of 25 km/h and subpar hull traverse. It’s the protection that makes it a battlefield survivor, with 250 mm and 270 mm of armor at the front of its turret and hull (nominal values).

The powerful gun of the BZT-70 deals 1,250 HP of damage with the basic HE shell and 850 HP of damage with the special HEAT round. The penetration values are 190 mm and 320 mm, respectively. A 180 mm gun is hard to operate, so its accuracy (0.56) and aiming time (3.5 s) aren’t stellar. The tank has a single loader in its crew as it is equipped with a 2-shell autoreloading mechanism. The intra-clip reload time is just 7 seconds, but there’s a catch. While the first shell takes only 25 seconds to reload, the other one comes from the second-stage ammunition stowage in 40 seconds.
Gameplay and Tactics,

When you play in the BZT-70, the main question is when and whether to use the second shell. This requires a competent assessment of your tactical situation: The tank’s low mobility makes driving away to reload unlikely. Therefore, in most cases, you will use the first shell with its 25-second reload time and take risks with the second round in special circumstances only—for example, to finish off a lone opponent.

  1. possible Tier 11 coming soon? just an idea seeing as that is what is tank is on lesta and we are getting a “big update” in september

      1. it also said tier 10 in lestas supertest also bubba, also wg is planning on having a big update in september so you really cant know what to expect

    1. I would more assume this could be the main prize in the theoretical Christmas multitier lootboxes.

  2. At WG they mixed the models of T95 and BZ-68 and produced this monstrosity.

    Doesn’t look competitive with its snail speed and terrible gun handling, and the hull front looks like a magnet for premium ammo.

  3. Are WG retarded? After the dumpsterfire as of recent, they are now testing a tier 10 BZ176!?!?!? It is like they want us to hate them.

  4. Esto quiere decir que no habrá tier 11, y que les renta más poner tanques rotos a nuevas ramas de tier 11

    1. Because wot has no developers left and no player base. So they have enough ru content already made to last at least a year

  5. Cross border co-operation?

    My favourite was the Israelis giving missiles to Iran and passing the cash onto the US who gave it to the Contras

    Money has no enemies
