BMPT/72 BR Topic (Part 2)

Yo! A well formed Devil’s Advocate argument using logic & reasoning.
Been a while, Tiger Tank, hope you’re doing well.

The answer is no, it’s fine at 11.7, but very well made argument.
It’s an M4A3E2 Jumbo of its kind. Where M4s are 2.3 BR below, BMP3 is 2.3 BR below BMPT.

Hey folks!!

With the recent discounted sales, I bought some airplanes and tanks, so hope that you had too! The summer is too hot outside, so there’s gonna be lots of gaming, so I hope you bought lots of cool vehicles to play with

I think the BMPT-72 needs to return to lower BR. As I do not own the tech-tree vehicle BMPT non -72 variant (5 crews + HE-VT vs 3 crews) I cannot make opinions on it.

  1. It’s too slow

The BMPT-72 has mobility roughly similar to the T-90A, running on a 1000HP T-90A engine, meaning it is slow.

  1. The reverse speed is bad

The BMPT-72 still retains the 4kpm reverse speed, which makes escaping sticky scenarios difficult.

  1. The survivality is bad

Out of few rounds, I have been one shot by M829A3 (it is an ongoing controversy why premium tank buyers are fighting 12.7 players) and other shells. The survivality is on par with other Russian tanks, like T-80BVM and even T-90A, because the crews sit on a circle shaped turret to the hull.

The tall profile also allows it to be easily blown up with large caliber HE/CAS.

Like most Russian tanks, it has hyper vulnerable ammo racks.

  1. The gun depression and tall statue

The tank is very tall, with guns mounted high up, at the same time, having gun depression of only 5 deg depression, which means it struggles to fight on hills.

  1. No APFSDS

The BMPT-72 lacks modern APFSDS like the 2S38 and relies on worse APDS, in a BR where most IFVs of other countries have full blown APFSDS with 100mm + point blank penetration. Also it lacks APHE/SAP like 2S38 (and begleitpanzer 57).

  1. No HE-VT

No HE-VT = 0 performance against air vehicles, maybe other than biplanes or Tier V helicopters, I guess?

  1. No drone (not light tank)

As you know, the BMPT-72 is not a light tank, so it does not have a drone, making it severely disadvantaged compared to lower BR 2S38.

  1. Only 4 missiles with no reloading

The only competitive weaponry on this tank, exists in the form of the 9M120, has only 4 missiles and no reloading, which means after you run out of them, you are forced to rely on the 30mm 2A42s. Also, the missiles are not that exceptional compared to tank shells because it cannot penetrate tank turrets.

Finally, I am not saying the BMPT-72 is the worst tank, because it certainly is not, I think it is slightly better than the 2S38, but it does not deserve 11.7 BR.

GIve it APFSDS then move it up to 12.7 Yes I can see it being nerf and easy to kill now but that thing still very deadly.

Humiliation kink much?

Jokes aside, BMPT-72 is pretty much an RP pinata now. I thoroughly enjoy dumpstering on it with my Abrams ♥

He is right tho.

But only down to 11.3 not more not less.

11.7 absolutely sucks for BMPT. Or at least the BMPT-72 to 11.3 and BMPT i guess can stay 11.7 due to it being way more survivable with its five Crewmembers and fuel Tanks behind the Spall Liners at Side. But BMPT-72 definitely should be 11.3

Most over rated vehicle I’ve played so far. I’ve been one shot in this thing more times than all the leopards I’ve played combined

I think people confuse the TT-BMPT and Premium BMPT-72 to much and still got the Trauma from when they were 10.3

Like the TT BMPT should stay 11.7 but the Premium one should go down to 11.3 that thing is just One hit anywhere
