Not sure what you mean but the M24 has been in the game for more than a week. What even is your point here?
You can say what you like, but the BMPT-72 is by far the best performing rank VII vehicle you have. That simply cannot be a coincidence. There isn’t much debate about that. It is simply much better than any other IFV in its tier and above. The Namers at 11.3 have four unreliable missiles (with no ammo box) and a gun with better penetration but poor rate of fire, and they get lolpenned by any Soviet MBT, even in a full downtier. The same applies to vehicles like the PUMA, which is easily penetrated by any MBT and lacks the missiles of the BMPT to take on said MBTs head-on (your own stats confirm its poor performance). Or compare the M3A3 or Desert Warrior to it. How can they be just 0.3 BRs below it? Being largely immune to tanks, even in an uptier, is wild for such a vehicle. This is very similar to the situation with the PUMA when it was released at 8.3.
So where exactly do you think the explosion pressure (“explosion” may be misleading*) is supposed to be vented out towards?
Do you understand how blow-out panels work?
The belt goes inside the vehicle and crew-compartment.
The entire ammunition-storage, minus the final-feeding system, is inside said crew-compartment.
It’d be like saying “oh look, but there is 5mm armour around gepards belt, so it shouldnt die when the feed into the guns is hit”
There is no blowout panel on the BMP-T, the belts run all the way down to the autoloader, and the crew sits next to it, if there is an ammo cook off the ammo belts will burn all the way down to the autoloader, making the tank explode.
In WT the explosion should literally travel down to the hull ammo, if it was a blowout protected compartment it should have been designated as first stage ammo and receive the drawbacks that has.
But since all ammo is readily available it stands to reason any ammo detonation should kill it.
They really favoured it in terms of modules tbh (first vehicle w/ detailed modules to not have the commander’s display & aim-controls as part of the fcs, has no basket, despite there very obviously being one)
But then again, it’s gaijin and they completely re-shape how they model detailed modules about every tuesday.
it is far from Immune for tanks my friend. the M24 (TL) came was given out as twitch drop vehicle like 5 days ago. the KD difference is simply based on my playstyle with that vehicle I pump it full of backups so ofcourse I will do better an average with it but cant you accept that I am playing actually good with a vehicle because it cant be only the vehicle because on paper the BMPT is mediocre at best the only thing it has going for it is the frontal armor everything else is very poor like idk why you accusing me of having ulterior motives
BMPT would be very easy to dispatch if the ammo weakspot it has would function properly, if they do model it as having pseudo IM by only making a portion of the ammo belt detonate then that would be unfair to other vehicles that use IM and should be put up in BR.
Wanna know the best part?
If the belt(s) is/are destroyed, literally nothing happens
You do not even lose a singular round of ammo and just became more survivable because the belt (in the turret-superstructure*) is gone permanently (until you respawn and maybe also if you replenish but I am not sure about the latter)
well it seems to be a weird vehicle as the feeding ammo is detached from the magazine in the hull while being an autoloader i dunno if that historical or not but when they fix the ammo bug it wont matter anyway because nomatter which amm you shoot the tank goes boom
Yeah, so i’m really hoping this is just a bug and not intentional, shooting a BMPT’s ammo and seeing a blowout ammo fire while it literally loses no ammo and can still fire is just mental.
It’s because they allocated the ammunition to the ammo-stowage’s dm inside the crew-compartment and separated the belts entirely for whatever reason.
Not spaghetti-code per se, just plain incompetence.
So I’ve tried this a few times now and it rarely works. Possibly partly because the Ajax’s spalling is pathetic (shock-Gaijin undertunes a British vehicle?!), but also because it’s a tiny target. All the while, the BMPT mulches anything it looks at with those cannons and missiles. It’s disgustingly broken.
