There’s really no need for that. All they need to do is fix the issues it actually has, the autocannons, the magical era, the ammo belt etc.
Fix the blantant Russian hand holding and it would the “fine”.
Sadly gaijin would rather murder entire br brackets rather than actually address the issues the thing has. I’ll leave the wondering why gaijin would leave a tech tree vehicle in this state of being utterly oppressive for others but I have my own suspicions and it ain’t pretty for gaijin.
I honestly dgaf how they nerf it, but the BR changes clearly didn’t work. As you said, the ERA, the guns, the ammo box, the belts, it needs to be changed somehow to make any other tanks playable.
The other tanks are playable…. as moving targets.
I hate that you’re right.
tbh i wouldnt mind if it applied to every tank
Just wait till they add the T-14 same style armour maybe the breach will take damage from shots…
This would be 100% better in a videgame like war thunder than the BMPT simply based on how war thunder game mechanics are.
The armour and ERA is upgraded over Relikt it has crew secured in an armoured pod, it has the “most lethal” gun and ammo with an APS system.
With added RNG and spalliners/modifiers it will be very hard to kill especially when NATO will not get their top rounds.
In War Thunder it would just be BR 12.7 and era on russian tanks frontally already eat any round thrown at it so you would just aim for the weakspot. Still better damaging one turret and disabling it than trying to aim at 2 tooth picks with ATGMs hull down and praying you hit the jugular vein hull down cause if you miss 1 of the two machine guns will get you.
You guys give War Thunder (a video game) too much credit on realism. They would just balance it out someway.
If it’s not declassified it’s all made up plain and simple.
Like they balanced the BMP-T?
I would agree with you bit they have proven they will not
I would rather fight a tank that’s easier model vs them trying to model the BMPT and realizing it’s unreliable in certain aspects. There’s too much junk in certain parts causing it to eat shells more frequently especially the turret.
All tanks experience this ghost shell or weird angle shot where your shot is just absorbed but BMPT can happen a lot easier with its difficult modeling. I’ve had its 30 mm machine gun absorb a whole APFSDS. Which is fine but come on now Gajin.
BMPT is when you take gaijins all BS / broken stuff and put it in one package
Spall liner hell ✅
Armored/external fuel tanks that eat all spall ✅
Armor that is volumetric hell ✅
Modules that eat spall for no reason ✅
Wait I’m having a foreboding….
Guaranteed 9.7 br released as tech tree and premium unkillable 3.5sec reload, argued over for 2 years when it eventually reaches 12.0 the game is a wasteland ru v ru.
I’ve had fuel tanks eat my entire Dart, shot through lfp but to much to the side so my dart went through the fuel tank and did…nothing…vanished inside the fuel
for the era+spall liners i think maybe they should add more modern apfsds like DM63, M829A3 and in exchange just move the MBTs up a bit in BR…i think BMPT could have Darts too…but needs more reliable way of destroying it like better APFSDS on MBTs
WT isnt a sim so shouldnt be treated as such, balance should come first before historical accuracy unless they want to represent specific vehicles in there full.
If im being honest they should just remove spall liner and ERA on the thing, game needs balancing and no amount of “this and that” will solve its ability to eat shots from top tier shells and the 2 biggest offenders of that are spall liners and ERA
you forgot to add the impossi ammo belt that cannot blow up inside the tank cuz its separated by a non-newtonian space, they just treat it like the schrodinger ammo, if i close the crew besides the ammo and the ammo gets hit, will the crew die or not die? you only know until you open the tank ofc!! and since no one has opened a blown up BMPT72 ofc you wouldnt know!
WT not real life? Have you not seen forums? Everyone’s an expert on military tech with years of experience in military knowledge. I’m actually very humbled by the vast amount of experts on these forums I’m worried they might hit on my wife.
On a serious note, they can do that or even better just have a state of health major update like some major AAA titles do that fix the game. I think there’s still work needed on modeling and their BR system. They’re adding too much to quickly and BMPT, SM-SV breaking an entire top tier is an example.
For me I feel robbed it’s taken so long since I renewed my premium time in Nov. not expecting this monstrosity to be added
Or make it like the PUMA so if its ammo gets hit, it knocks out the FCS, the vertical drive, the breech, the ammo, and anything else up there!
Let BMPT users suffer 1% of what PUMA players have had to endure.
