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
I can see terminators taking the meta from the T90s in the future. It’s much easier to kill those MBTs. IF Gaijin doesn’t fix the model or nerf the terminators in any way. In which case GRB will just turn into autocannon and missiles vs MBTs.
