It would amke it balanced. I get it, OP thing is more fun, but when its litereally destroyed the ability of the other 9 nations to even touch the current BR, it cannot remain. And besides, BMPT would still be a problem even at 12.0 without a single change. Just have to aim for the weakspots for a change. (I know shock horror, soviet mains having to learn how to aim)
Strange?
its not strange, its Gaijin making soviet ERA OP because “Russia!!!” whilst simutaneously nerfing all other ERA because “marketing lies”
1st option doesn’t seem likely unless they have a decent replacement available for it unless you’re specifically preventing people who doesn’t have it from researching/buying them
2nd, while 12.0+ are bit better off because of pen, the armor can still be rather wonky in some areas with the amount of layers going trough RNG
3rd/3.5 might work
there is also the 4th option, make the ammo belt detonating actually destroy the vehicle
I still dont understand how it made it to live. We’ve had vehicles postponed due to issues before, I just dont understand why Gaijin didnt see this iceburg coming
Yup, though that is nothing new for soviet ERA. But at least DM53 usually works whilst L23 doesnt
Thats a given, if that remains, im submitting a bug report for the Challenger 1/2/3s ready racks counting as external and not internal because they are located in the turret and not inside the main body of the tank. I would suggest everyone else does the same for their nations MBT
the problem with that is that according to datamine, they did a complete rework of the BMPT’s armor when they implemented the update, so the vehicle that was tested at the end of dev server and the one released aren’t even the same
I still dont understand how they thought 10.3 was initially acceptable for a tank with better survivability to that of most top tier MBTs and a decent autocanon with ATGMs. Let alone all the BS since
Possible response: We checked your report and found that this is not true, even if you use the BMPT as an example. We remind you that the BMPT’s external ammunition rack is designed this way, according to documents that have been carefully analyzed by our team.
Here’s me defending it: So much so that 11.3 is plausible for it without ammunition changes.
@racimazzedine has not defended it outside of wanting it moved up:
Granted, it’s a generally neutral BR suggestion.
But if you were to accuse him of defending the BMPT, that would be the post to use as evidence.
How does BMPT being as OP as EBR once was make them biased?
Are you telling us that Gaijin Entertainment had German and France bias as well when they had similar to identical situations?
You quite literally trashed on @racimazzedine for having this take…
All autocanon tanks in game are strong, but all have a singluar weakness. They are extremely vulnerable to attack .This is the ONLY way they are even remotely balanced, and even then, some can be extremely strong if they get given the chance. BMPT does not have this vulnerability. In fact it puts more than a few MBTs to shame in this regard.
It facing only tanks that maybe have the firepower necessary to consistantly counter it? yes it would. And it would stop tanks that cannot fight it from even seeing it>
