Changes relative to the first iteration of the supertest:
- Reload time: from 14.00 s to 14.38 s
- Rate of fire: from 4.29 to 4.17 rpm
- DPM from 2400 to 2336
- Dispersion per 100 m: from 0.36 to 0.38
- Dispersion when moving and turning: from 0.17 to 0.20
- Top speed (base) from 50 km/h to 40 km/h
- Top speed (rockets) from 75 km/h to 60 km/h (maximum possible top speed from 90 km/h to 75 km/h)
Almost as if a 560 alpha heavy tank with some armor and -8 gun depression that could 90 km/h was an absolutely godawful idea. Shocking, isn't it?
Bear in mind that even with all the nerfs, the BZ-72-1 with rockets is still the fastest heavy tank in the game by a very significant margin, with same top speed and significantly higher specific power than the CS-63, which is the fastest non-LT tier 10 in the game. It's also still noticeably faster than the CT1 BZ-75, which in return already could reach positions faster than any other heavy. The gun looks more mediocre now, but I'd still rather take it than the BZ-75's gun. BZ-72-1 also almost certainly has more reliable turret armor just for having two noticeably smaller cupolas instead of a big unibrow the BZ-75 has.
With the nerfs, the BZ-72-1 seems very much like a CT1 BZ-75 that trades 300 HP and 90 alpha damage for (still) noticeably better speed, better armor when hulldown and better gun handling. Should still be a very strong tank (honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was nerfed even further), but it's at least no longer absurdly broken like it used to be.
