Limited time! Claim this Rocket Booster-powered heavy tank with Free XP. Then, take on a special Earn Challenge to get its exclusive Skin.

Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Chinese tank development put a greater focus on designs that, although similar to Soviet designs, were of indigenous origin. One such proposal that came out of this period was for a tank that would use jet boosters to make crossing difficult terrain easier.

For a limited time starting September 30, you can bring a tank inspired by this vehicle into your console garage. Get ready to roar into battle with the Chinese Tier X BZ-72-1 Heavy Tank!

(And read to the end of this article to find out how to earn its exclusive “Xiaoqing” Skin!)

Gameplay Tips

The BZ-72-1 mounts Rocket Boosters, which you can activate to receive an instant speed boost. Get out of a sticky situation, or barrel straight toward the frontline to claim a prime spot at the start of the match; Rocket Boosters will get you where you need to go!

Once battle begins, you know what to do. The BZ-72-1 is a heavy, after all, and it’s got the turret armor, sloped frontal hull armor, and 130mm gun to prove it. So head into the thick of the battle and start brawling!

• Use your Rocket Boosters tactically, as you have only five usages available per match!
• Unleash the high alpha damage and DPM of your gun to stop enemies in their tracks.
• Experiment with positioning! The BZ-72-1’s strong turret armor also works well in hull-down positions, while its side armor allows for sidescraping. Find the spot that lets you wreak the most havoc.
