Placing a hydra 70 rocket with 1.19kg of tnt equivalent and doing more damage to the machine gun than the two cannons on both sides of said Hydras is unacceptable. Mavericks have a tendency to completely miss BMPTs instead of just splashing on a direct hit (yes I have tested this, Mavericks completely missed BMPTs in the open and moving in a straight line 43 times out of 50.) The other 7 hits were six “hits” with minimal damage to tracks despite a full top down shot, and one kill.
TOW-2B is also useless against BMPT, as any attempt to shoot detonates above the RELIKT “collarbone” hiding under the aluminum gorget, which exists for some reason. The fact that the aluminum apparently cannot get shot away unlike most applique/spaced plates is also a concern.
TOW-2A is also only a reliable penetration frontally if you are hitting the recessed “turret” dead on, and don’t catch the large missile on any of the protruding external modules. Almost any degree of angling away will result in the shell disappearing into the void, instead of the Protection Analysis statement.
Hitting the “middle” belt of ammo should receive a higher chance of an ammunition detonation, and impact the rounds going into the guns and the guns themselves at the bare minimum. This is also going through the FCS frontally, which on most tanks disables firing and aiming. In the case of the BMPT it appears to have no effect at all despite the claimed changes when it was brought up to 11.3
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.
