The BZ-72-1 packs a punch with its 130 mm gun, delivering 560 HP of damage per shot and boasting 260 mm of armor penetration—sending shivers down the spines of opponents. Tailored for medium- to close-range combat, its 8 degrees of gun depression angles and commendable shell velocity guarantee effective engagement. This makes it particularly effective in key positions where mastering positional combat is crucial.

The BZ-72-1's low profile design, well-sloped armor, and jet-boosted mobility elevate its survivability. Swift maneuvering across hazardous areas and strategic positioning enhance its defensive capabilities. Decent turret armor, coupled with a defensive playstyle, bolsters its capacity to withstand enemy assaults while aggressively pushing through well-armored lines of opponents. To optimize survivability, consider enhancing the tank's mobility with a Turbocharger or Mobility Improvement System.

While the BZ-72-1's top speed of 30 km/h and reverse speed of 15 km/h may not be particularly impressive, its jet boosters provide a reliable means to swiftly traverse hazardous battlefield zones. This feature allows you to catch opponents off guard, securing advantageous positions on the map ahead of others. The tank's compact profile and good maneuverability further facilitate efficient navigation across the battlefield.

Auction Rules

Expand
  1. Experience a dynamic open auction: In the open format, every lot is available for bidding at any moment during its active period. You will see the number of available items, the minimum bid, and the deadline for placing new bids. You will also see the number of bids that have already been made and the competitive (median) bid (after the number of bids has exceeded the number of available items).

  2. Bid with gold or credits: Each lot exclusively accepts bids in one predetermined in-game currency: gold or credits. If the cost of a lot is specified in gold, it will not be possible to bid for it with credits, and vice versa.

  3. Bid comfortably with your chosen amount: The specified amount in gold or credits will be automatically deducted from your account.

  4. Manage your bids in real time: Adjust or cancel your bid while the lot is active. Once the lot closes, no modifications or cancellations are possible, and new bids won't be accepted. Canceling a bid ensures that any credits or gold you spent on it are returned to your account.

  5. Cross your fingers for victory: The number of winning players will depend on the number of items available. If multiple players make the lowest winning bid and there are more of these players than items to be distributed, priority goes to the players who placed their bids first.

  6. Enjoy quick rewards and refunds: Within a few hours of the bid deadline, victorious Auction participants will receive their unique vehicles. The remaining participants receive their bids back in full.
