And i could literally send you 60+ hit BLK files showing why you are getting stupid lucky or arent actually fighting the Tech tree ones and only really dealing with the premium one. The BMPT-72 isnt the issue for the most part. It doesnt have the extra ERA protection the TT gets, Its missles when shot actually disable the entire turret, and the ammo shot leading to a “chain reaction” is a 50/50 for the most part. The Tech Tree one however is where the real problems start. 5 Crew, LFP shots generally “Driver Engine” or “Driver Fuel Tank”, Side shots arent even worth taking unless you for sure know you can disable it entirely and prevent it from shooting back, and “Relict” Era acts like Thanos Snapping away DM53, L27A1, 829A2, M338, and DTC10-125. So tell me how “aiming better” fixes this issue? It doesnt when there is literally 6 layers of BS on the Side of the TT BMPT meant to “Gaijin” Darts.
No you havent said its not OP but you continuing to use it and being mainly a russian player yourself shows exactly why it needs to be fixed. When im watching 13.0 Matches Crumble in less than 5 minutes from 2 BMPTs its blatantly obvious that something needs to change and bloody fast. Those that defend it saying you just dont know where to shoot or otherwise are either not facing them or facing them playing like a rat.
gaijin considers all fuel-tanks that are separated by armour (or spall-liners) from the crew-compartment as external.
Doesnt make much sense but here we are i guess…
What in the video is out of touch?
They don’t mention anything related to balance or BRs.
They only talk of its history and capabilities in a vacuum, which is entirely unrelated to the drama happening here.
So pushing the balance drama onto them just cause they made a cool video about a vehicle that was scheduled to be made irrelevant of drama occurring elsewhere would be out of touch with the separate teams of War Thunder.
It’s a cool video, of a tank I don’t particularly care about, and one that avoids the drama occurring.
I can easily separate their work from the work of those working on game balance.
As a US/Swedish main I can assure you M1A1 HC is definitely not OP but a good to sub average tank. You get a good gun and good mobility that’s about it. You don’t get good thermals for a premium either so I never use them thermals since it’s actually a hinderance. You also don’t get a commanders sight which I use a lot with other nations. As far as Air goes most only care about GRB and I suck at Air so I won’t even talk about it. I don’t hate Russia or Gajin at all personally I think things are balanced in game but BMPT has proven Gajin dropped the ball hard and instead of fixing it right away it’s still running around at 10.7 with ads and videos that are filled from gamers hating in the comment section. Most people complain I agree but this one even has veterans from 2016 voicing their resentment
The equivalents to M1A1 HC are all 12.3 and 12.7, with a number of 12.3s and 12.7s still being inferior to it such as Leclerc and Challenger 2s.
Also why would I say you hate Russian equipment when your comment is at most defending the vehicles?
Gaijin developers aren’t the ones making the videos, production employees would be. Whom are going to get paid no matter what project they’re working on.
