Honestly it is fine at 11.7. The BMPT-72 is not a problem at all, as it lacks what made the BMPT “special”, the survivability/armor.
11.7 is perma uptier into 12.7, makes for a miserable experience.
30mm APDS is very weak, struggling to penetrate anything short of light tanks, you have to pray people are side on. Not to mention the gun accuracy was so heavily nerfed its basically a peashooter now.
Atakas are incredibly bleh, they’re fast but have lacking penetration for this BR, you only get 4 + 4, and they’re ATGMs. APFSDS is faster and will impact its target infinitely faster.
Also, you can kill the BMPT hull-down by shooting the missiles or HE-OR’ing the ammo. I believe it changed this update.
I used my BMPT even at 13.0, experience wasn’t even close to bein miserable.
It compensates with with ROF.
Nonesense, you could easily target any mbts tracks and barrels and cripple them before killing them.
This new changes changes everything, before the uptade those claims were not true at all.
They are more than fine as long as you can use your brain and know where to aim.
Another good change.
Yet it dominated the battlefields despite those things you mentioned, BMPT is a proof that mobility isn’t everything but combination of broken damage model, armor, high ROF and survivability is.
ERA isn’t the only problem when it comes to damage model: Belt designs, volumetric, spall liners and combination of 5 crews makes it problematic.
From my experience on it, 12.7 uptier makes it easy cas farmer. You go track few ppl, eat some shots and due to it being uptier, you can earn even 956 sp pretty easily. Then you spawn su34 with 4 kh38mt 2 kh31pd and remove aa and 4 tanks. So bmpt still has some use.
Exactly, it was so easy to just sit on proper position and farm sp with BMPT at top tier, nowadays however i dont know if you can do that anymore since people claim damage model has been changed and its easier to kill BMPT.
11.7 as a BR. Its pretty awful rn. And it is among the worst time to play BMPT since the new update dropped. 13.0 is defo more enjoyable for BMPT players since you have good CAS to spawn into. 11.7 lobbies just get cleared by hordes of new Abrams.
Its still a piss weak autocannon at 11.7. They stopped being good in single digit BRs, now you are in 12.7 lobbies with a 8.7 gun.
Hope he has way slower reaction time. Not exactly inspiring.
I believe it was implemented alongside the missile kills this patch. I do not mind at all. I don’t really play it anyway.
It dominated when it was too low in BR. Now it is hardly doing much.
Tbh I think if BMPT had belt kill it, it would be unplayable. Surely there is a compromise that Gaijin can make, like 100% chance to nuke horizontal/vertical/both guns/all missiles/missile launchers/autoloader/fcs/power system/electronics. Basically max repair. That should be good enough.
Volumetric is wtv, but I think ERA is far more annoying for avg player.
Spall liner is only annoying because its in tandem with ERA, so destab’d dart gets its spall further reduced.
5 crew is also fair. BMPT-72 shows how significantly worse the tank is without the extra crew.
Really should be provided a better round at the rating it’s at. Thing’s not nimble, can’t really exploit the virtues of an autocannon with such abysmal performance. Better off with an 125mm from the current state of it.
Yet it didn’t stopped demolishing anything on its side during its time right? Your pen argument doesn’t work in this case.
No it doesn’t, op claimed that you have to pray/rely on caughting people on side while in reality BMPT could easily destroy your barrel first then your tracks and can easily kill you after that.
Which if you’re not under an ideal network environment, may not even work before you’ve a round in one side and out the other. Case for most any autocannon really.
Meta shifting def changed the environment in 11.7-12.7 no doubt, still its far from bein miserable i believe.
Penetration isn’t the only thing which BMPT showed us many times, real problem was ROF and accuracy which with latest uptade it got heavily nerfed on that aspect.
What makes you think BMPT will go out toe to toe every single time with enemy mbts but rather wait for chance to catch him off guard, you always take this scenario into your hands as if they are always 1vs1, come back to real life.
Personally i also wouldn’t mind as it was broken af.
It was still dominating up until last uptade. I unlocked mine when it was bumped to 11.7 and never had issues, in fact i got 2.4+ K/D ratio alongside with 63-65 WR fighting against 12.7-13.0, shows how broken were still is.
