Players holding W instead of thinking is not an excuse for a blatantly broken damage model.
Why does the BMPT get a preferential ammo layout compared to similar vehicles like the Marder in the first place?
Literally the single hardest vehicle to kill as CAS in the entire game?
I’ve had a decent time with different cas platform against BMPTs. No APS means that it’ll eventually go down.
Yeah but other than maybe APS top tier tanks it’s still harder to kill than all other MBTs thanks to 5 crew, a broken damage model and Relikt.
But since you’re here. So far I haven’t had any luck in getting an answer for that question. Do the mods have any knowledge from the devs about this:
Because it’s really weird how the BMPTs ammo is modeled in such a way that it completely negates a big weakness of its design.
“Eventually go down”
So we hit it with god knows how many missiles until they eventually overpower the botched modelling.
Ridiculous.
Nah I’ve had a decent amount of single hit kills. Even with Mavs that have been quite bad at killing MBTs from my own experience.
No. Forum Mods don’t usually exchange that much, if anything, with devs.
Excuse me if I miss certain questions, feel free to ask them again and I’ll see what I can answer.
Ok thank you for the answer. I’ve already raised that question with some tech mods but sadly they didn’t have an answer either.
It’s just a tad bit frustrating when there is such a wall of silence from Gaijin regarding such obvious preferential treatment.
there is a WORLD of difference between “its easier to kill” and its “squishy” its objectively not squishy in lfp, its much more survivable than just about everything else even through lfp, the whenver i oneshot one its usually whenever i shoow the floor in side aspect or when it has already been damaged by teammates
Read what I said mate.
Also the F4J is poor as hell tbh.
Every shot that goes through the LFP is a kill. That’s squishy to me.
Every shot that goes through the lower frontal plate isn’t a kill, unless my own experience with it is a lie.
Your video is perfect conditions, In my experience a 0 degree shot into the middle of the lfp kills, hit to the sides and chances are they’re gonna take another shot to kill them.
You seem to be misunderstanding the actual issue. The issue isn’t that they never die, the issue is that they are ridiculously bugged and artificially buffed leading to the dammed thing being far more survivable than it should be.
they literally do not lol hell I show one clean through the LFP not 2 days ago, and nothin it barely killed 2 crew.
With the Merkava Mk4B or LIC can’t remember, so no it’s not every single shot dude.
BMPT driving clean through a smoke cloud, in an open road, is definitely perfect.
Bingo, it’s the fact one shot will kill one, you shoot the exact same spot, nothing.
It’s a wing and a prayer, then it shreds you if it survives with enough capabilities, which is often more than not.
At least it isnt in the nation with the best anti ai… wait.
When spall-liners were bugged, and it lead to situation where a Leopard 2A7V could drive around like the BMPT without dying a whole lot, the devs “fixed” that in +/- 2 weeks… says a lot doesn’t it, huh.
Lol yeah remember that.
Wasn’t even 2 whole weeks I don’t think
I think it was a matter of days. Plus at the time, the 2A7 wasn’t backed up the best helo ATGM, the best CAS, the best SAM…and so on.
It was annoying - but being an absolute top-tier end of tree vehicle you weren’t running into hordes of them even while they were plainly broken vs. frontal aspect shots.
Would you mind showing clips of your issues with the BMPT?
I’m not even arguing about that, putting words in my mouth that I’ve not said isn’t the best way to communicate with someone. I’ve said that the tank is squishy once you shoot it in either the LFP or the side (properly aimed shots, that is).
I’ve had LFP kills from all angles.
LFP I can confirm is squishy as long as you have the right round for the job. And aiming for the turret might or might not set it on fire. There are several videos in the fourms where it can be one tapped or does nothing and sometimes lights it on fire and it just doesn’t care. It’s like gambling hitting the turret. If the turret is facing at a 90 degree angle from you it’s more consistent at one tapping but that’s if they’re very unaware player.
To show that I’m not talking out of thin air:
All tests are done with the M322 instead of M338, just to show that you don’t need a 600mm+ APFSDS shell to do this.

Decently angled LFP:
When the LFP is too angled, this spot here works:
Side ERA:
As a bonus, Israeli HE is incredibly fun.
