▲ 60TP L in World of Tanks
Hello World of Tanks players, it's been quite a year since the B-Series Tier X heavy tank 60TP L joined the game, and the C-Series Tier X heavy tank BZ-75 has been in the game for almost a year. In the 2023 WCI World of Tanks International Championship, many players took to the field in these two tanks and achieved impressive results. However, some commanders said that these two tanks are not as powerful as in standard combat, so is there really a problem with these two tanks?
BZ-75
▲BZ-75 has a rocket booster
The BZ-75 is the top-of-the-line tank on the second heavy tank line of the C series, and its "rocket booster" has reached its full potential: when the rocket booster is activated in combat, the BZ-75's base engine power will increase from 800 to 2000 hp in 10 seconds, the maximum forward speed will be increased from 30 km/h to 45 km/h, and the rocket booster can be used 6 times. This system makes the BZ-75 a lot of fun, and you can use it to develop a lot of unique gameplay. In WCI competitions, the BZ-75 repeatedly used rocket boosters to give the team an advantage.
▲After quickly ascending the mountain, ambush the enemy medium tank
The BZ-75, which arrived at the point earlier than other tanks, can stand by and use its 152 mm caliber main gun to strike hard at the enemy, although its armor-piercing shells only have an average damage of 650 points per shot, but the flight speed of standard ammunition shells has reached 1150 m/s, and there is a penetration depth of 258 mm, which makes the gun perform well. At the same time, the BZ-75 also has a gun depression angle of 8°, so it can also fight in many rough terrains. However, players' dissatisfaction with the BZ-75 lies in its survivability, although it has a strong 2500 HP, but its turret has a structure on top of the turret, in addition to 2 hatches, which makes it a weak area. When fighting the enemy, try not to simply "sell your head", otherwise it will be very easy to be hit by the enemy.
▲ The defense of the tank has certain shortcomings
Because of this, only by "moving" can the BZ-75 maximize its combat superiority, relying on its strong HP of 2500 points to open the way for the team to attack. However, in standard combat, the BZ-75 usually struggles to play to its strengths, and many commanders are not good at controlling its rocket boosters, and it is easy to start selling heads with the enemy, which makes the BZ-75's advantage completely lost. As a result, many commanders have a bad opinion of the BZ-75, but there are other skilled and cutting-edge players who praise the BZ-75. There is no mistake between the player and the tank, but the tank needs to be used correctly.
60TP L
▲The damage of the 60TP L's main gun is quite high
Compared with the performance and appearance rate of the BZ-75 in standard combat, the 60TP L is not an underdog, it is currently the top of the three-ring standard injury list of the X-class research and development heavy tank on the server, and the three-ring standard injury data is as high as 4679, and the combat effectiveness of the tank is self-evident. The firepower of the 60TP L is very strong, and its 152 mm caliber gun is not the 650 average damage "castrated version of the 152 gun" of the BZ-75, but maintains the same 750 point average damage level as E-100, VK7201 and other tanks, which makes the 60TP L more deterrent in close hand-to-hand combat, and can often play the effect of "final decision". It is also very easy to destroy the enemy's ammunition rack when facing vehicles with average HP such as the IS-7 and other ammunition rack modules.
▲The frontal defense of the 60TP L is not bad
Moreover, the 60TP L also has good survivability, the tank has a strong HP of 2600 points, and the frontal defense of the turret is also good, and even some Tier X tank destroyers are not good at penetrating the 60TP L from the front. The tank also has a top speed of 35 km/h, and if it is equipped with turbines and other mobility-related accessories, the tank's mobility performance cannot be underestimated, which gives the 60TP L a considerable advantage in actual combat. If you have to find out if the 60TP L is not, it means that its main gun control is not good, but the gun control of X-class heavy tanks of the same caliber is about the same.
▲ One shot makes the enemy's health bar disappear instantly
In addition, after the modification of the high-explosive shell, the output ability of the 950 single-shot damage high-explosive bomb that the 60TP L was originally proud of has decreased a lot, and it usually only causes about 150 damage when bombarding the enemy head-on, and it is more difficult to even "harvest" the remnant enemy, but the survivability of the corresponding 60TP L in the face of the enemy's high-explosive bomb has also been improved. Perhaps it is these two "problems" that have made some commanders question the performance of the 60TP L, but if the tank is really poor, then it will not be the top of the three-ring mark list of X-class researchable heavy tanks.
▲ Make the most of the tank's strengths
For the BZ-75 and 60TP L, two Tier X heavy tanks, players should "play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses":
- BZ-75: Make good use of the tank's rocket booster to keep the tank moving, and take advantage of the tank's health and agility. Avoid traditional head-to-head battles and hand-to-hand combat with enemy heavy tanks, and lead your team to break through enemy defenses, preferably in battle.
- 60TP L: Take advantage of the tank's high alpha damage and become the mainstay of the battle with your teammates, taking care to save your health and destroying enemies by swapping blood and other means when necessary. Strengthening the mobility of the tank is also an option.
Only when the player is familiar enough with the performance of the tank can he make the most of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses and give full play to the combat effectiveness of the tank.
