So that’s why my side shot was completely stopped by the ERA, good to know there’s an actual explanation that’s not “lol volumetric”
Whats your winrate in it so far? Iv seen an average of 80+% with mine being 88%., Absolute insanity and clearly on purpose that gaijin is letting this slide.

Wow… I remember hearing about the pain those other Russian tanks caused when they were fist introduced. The BMPT has to be the most egregious example of them, right? This time just feels blatantly disrespectful.

Yeah looks like the bmpt its the most unbalanced vehicle gaijin added so far, even more op than 2s38, pt76-57 and ebr together.

oohh you made me remember that PT-76-57 lol it was a nightmare when they introduced it, and it took em months to actually do something and nerf it!

defensively its even stronger than T-90M so it makes sense, Its incredibly hard to disable, can’t ammo rack it easily. Weak spots are pretty small and difficult to hit specially while blinded with it shooting at you.
At best right now I’ll get lucky and either their LFP is visible, or they are hull down mostly and I’m basically screwed

side tracks work also for ammo detonation.
pretty much the weak spot are :
- LFP (high damage )
- driver port ( avrage damage )
- side front ( hight damage - insta kill )
- ammo turret ( work good on the bmpt-72 - insta kill )
- system control ( easy to taget with auto canon )
- shoting twice the era armor ( after first hit, you second round should pen like butter )
that the ones i always keep on my head when going against them
( i am not saying it should still be at 10.7, there a big difference btw helping know the weak spot and actual tank br ) this is not for you, just incase someone acuse again
Except my round cant even pen the side barely if the bmpt is angled… Meanwhile id say 60% of the time ammo pens dont even kill it
incredibly loud incorrect buzzer
just shot the port and turret of a bmpt with 3bm42 repeatedly and it was regenerating ERA blocks and the FCS wouldn’t break

I’d say 70%-80%+ lol, and that’s my experience using it. And the crew slot I have it in isn’t even close to being maxed yet 🤣
Watch here
yeah never really happens
jut put 3 shots into ammo on one and no damage same with the hatch
(3bm42 from t80ud/be)

Streamers who follow war thunder 5 years or more ago made videos that this particular vehicles along with others should never be added fast forward and here we are. It’s almost like veterans play the game enough to know what is good and bad but Gajin is really trying to milk the money at this point. Vacation or not this should of never happened.

I hope this is true cause one thing Gajin seems to not take into account is Russian equipment is not built for crew survival like NATO and saying “external ammo” is ridiculous for a nation who puts crew on top of an auto loader full of ammo.

And when these vehicles get an ‘equivalent’, they love to cry about it—just look at the whining to this day over the Begleitpanzer; I’ve even seen a post asking to remove its ATGM lol.

This goes to show how out of touch Gaijin really is.

I still see people claiming it has the same armor as top-tier MBTs, even though I could pen top-tier tanks with my TAM 2C but can’t even pen the side of a BMPT… now this one, that damn BMPT should be at top tier, end of story. It doesn’t matter if they get APFSDS or not, just keep that thing away from anything below top tier—preferably at 13.0.

Dont expect anything to be done about this blatant issue as gaijin likely wont do anything about it until the next major Update. IF its Nato or minor Country it gets nerfed fast. If its russian or Chinese it takes 3-6 months for anything substantial to be done. the move from 10.3 - 10.7 did nothing since they also buffed it along side the BR increase. So expect something else similar to happen IF it does get moved up further in BR. If it goes to 11.0 or 11.3 itll likely see further buffs making it even more unkillable from anything around its BR range. The fact that you can fire DM53 at BMPT Flat broadside and do almost nothing allowing it to take your barrel and disable everything in your tank before your reloaded with an Aced Crew is just dumb. Meanwhile Any NATO Vehicle gets shot in the side it cant return fire because the turret BASKET is considered the Horizontal Traverse meanwhile all Russian vehicles just have a turret ring and nothing else.
