bmpt is the first. later came the bmpt 72 to get export attention to upgrade the old t72.
so the bmpt 2 is not based on the bmpt 72. its a upgrade from the bmpt 1 ( were not even suppose to use number as there only 1 bmpt in production )
sadly i dont have such info, i need to look for it.
but a weaker source says that its can use some more modern atgm / bullets ( wiki )
Thats not a Weaker source to begin with, Wiki isnt any source at all
BMPT is the designation for both the prototype we have in-game aswell as the production version.
The BMPT prototype predates that of BMPT72, BMPT72 is a later development (first brochures from uralvagonzavod that I have are from ±2012), which uses a different turret than the BMPT prototype aswell as a different chassis/hull.
The production version of BMPT utilizes the hull of the prototype BMPT (our ingame-variant essentially) and the upgraded turret that is also seen on the BMPT72.
I am so confused when it comes to differenciating the different BMPT variants:
still got no idea what the real production BMPT is. Read that its the 3 crew version and the naming isn’t exactly helping either
these 2 are the same
I thought they aren’t? 3 crew for russia and 5 crew for export.
this one
I am confusion
if there is grenade launcher, that mean 5. you can see fron there is 3 windows for cew,
and 3 are only for the the T72 based who is Bmpt-72
so the BMPT-72 (the one ingame) is the one russia uses irl?
nope its a build for export since there is so many country who have the t72 and lack a good ifv.
Im pretty sure its the BMPT with the ingame TT version BMPT hull, and the ingame BMPT-72 Turret
yes it is. but it get better / more armor
So:
BMPT (“Terminator 1”, old turret / 5 crew) → prototype/exported
BMPT-72 (aka. “Terminator 2”, old T72 hull + new turret / 3 crew) → export/retrofit for old T72s
BMPT model 2017 (Terminator 1 hull + Terminator 2 turret) → “updated” russian service variant
What I still don’t get is since the model 2017 is the new version seen in Ukraine, the BMPT-72 is export and the Terminator 1 is just a prototype. Which one did they use before model 2017. Online it says they used the 5-crew version but that is the prototype. Apperantly they didn’t use any BMPTs until the model 2017.
The whole naming thingy is driving me over the edge
you 100% got it right.
😭 .
also you forgot that terminator 1 prototype is also a export from kazakhstan
and terminator 1 with 2 turret also a export for algeria
and we aren’t even mentioning the Terminator 3s yet… This is a rabbit hole I don’t want to get lost in
have you seen a bmp2m and t62 have a child ?
well here it is, bmpt62
