I can guarantee you, you will never struggle with aiming at and hitting pixel size weakspots with autocannons ever again.
BMPTs are also hilariously accurate (same as Puma) at 550rpm making it extremely easy to spam at small weakspots or barrels on anything you face.
ofc BMPT-72 isnt nearly as broken as BMPT but it should arguably still go up to 11.7 so it doesnt face 10.3s anymore (good luck fighting it in your 9040/56 or Puma)
They are most certainly not. the merkas have the same issue the Abrams does. the BMPT just sends so much shit at you it kills you thru the rings. not to mention you lose the barrel and its over and the merkas are a very large target. i find the booker to be a better counter. or anything that can sling spikes.
First you need to light the tank on fire twice maybe even 3 times because it’s from hell and the crew sitting on the front is fireproof and very very brave Russian crew.
After death you QUICKLY go back and finish it off from the front before he drink more vodka.
Thank you all please leave BMPT alone, it is balanced and in no need of any changes.
Aside from the well-known properties of integrated liners that are bonded to the armor plate as well as graphite coated depleted uranium plates, the Burlington (Chobham-style) composite has an interior “skin” on these blocks which is a heavy, ductile metal plate designed to catch fragments and “mushroom” rather than shatter. But of course it’s easy to dismiss such well known material science (which has been thoroughly studied and applied in a practical sense since as early as the 1970s by the way) and make arguments in bad faith, because these armor compositions are highly classified information. Yet, we continue to see advanced armor and protection features that are added to some vehicles of a certain origin leading to disrupted gameplay balance, while their counterparts from their competing nations get left behind for some reason.
Depends, personally i haven’t had that many BMPTs go trough the turret ring, mostly because they are usually shooting the hull if they are on the side or rear, from the front i usually just get killed by the ATGM but even that sometimes doesn’t kill me
Not sure what’s good about the Booker as a counter since they can easily be killed trough the turret
Spikes usually hit some god awful area that doesn’t do any real damage to the BMPTs
Booker has just enough frontal armor to pretty reliably tank 30mm APDS at ~500m on the majority of the tank. Mantlet is ofc artificially made weak. No massive exposed turret ring like the abrams either which is helpful.
Well the Nera on the Merkava mk4s solved the ATGMS for me i usually die from the 30m blasting right through the turret. the Merkava mk3s are just dead on sight to a BMPT.
But yeah the booker can actually face tank the 30m and just pray your gun barrel isn’t shredded. nothing else the US has can really do it.
Since a lot of light tanks are somewhat reliable against the APDS to the UFP, i’m assuming you’re talking about the LFP specifically?
Yeah it’s pretty good in that regards, another alternative that’s quite protected in both UFP and LFP wold be the Centauro 120
Type 16 also has good LFP but it does sacrifice some armor on the UFP giving them certain weakspots there
Apparently it’s the majority of the M10 Booker’s frontal area that is just mostly immune to 30mm APDS frontally, barring the mantlet and areas with hatches/vents. Turret and hull are both fairly well protected against that ammo.
5s reload and M900 also probably help significantly against the BMPT hoardes.
Turret has armor holes on certain angles, got crippled multiple times by BMPT from my turret cheeks while I was playing booker, it seems protection analysis is not accurate on booker.
