This is the driver port and super structure, not really the UFP anymore. The driver port if the only viable weak spot here. The bottom of the superstructure is a stupid weak spot overall, because unless you bring the best shells in game, it’s probably the most unreliable way to kill a BMPT from my experience. One pixel off and the APFSDS just doesn’t pen.

yeah which were the shells at 12.7 that were in question, only like britan (except c3td), china, france (except2a6), and russia dont have tanks with 600mm+ of pen at top tier
The more people post about BMPT being massively overpowered, the more people are buying it. If you seriously think Gaijin are about fairness above making huge amounts money on selling Premiums you’re very mistaken, and the BMPT is the goose that lays golden eggs.
They won’t remove the vehicle because to do so would mean they’d have to refund buyers and I can’t ever see them handing money back. If they Nerf it substantially they’ll have tons of buyers complaining that they paid for a powerful vehicle that is now no better than anything else. They’ve painted themselves into a corner.

It will be nerfed to unplayable levels after they sell enough units. You ppl never learn?
i mean, not really, the 2s38 has been on sale for like over a year now and its only just going to 10.7
That vehicle is shit
i mean its not fun to play, but it is very annoying to fight
and shit is a bit strong for it, its still an effective vehicle
even btr80 can destroy br+11 vehicles that doest meant it should br +11, strong against what? all br10++ tanks are faster and have better armor.
the 2s38 is a light tank not a heavy tank
yeah just cause 2s38 can be killed by a 3.7 doesnt mean it should be 3.7 though
what can kill what is a terrible way to balance brs bro
BTR-80 at 3.7 🤔
That is my point, light or not it does not mater at br +11 all MBTs are faster.
okay? youre contradicting yourself, br is not determined by one single thing, be it armour or speed, its based on the whole vehicle and its performance
6+m using M735 all the way to M829A2 equivalent, you can probably take note of how to kill them here.

reliable way to nerf it (and every other Russian tank) is to give it realistic protection past ERA (around 420mm of effective APFSDS protection).
Umm…
Can you read?
Look at T-72 1989. Perhaps, I forgot to mention that by effective APFSDS protection I’ve meant dividing base hull protection by 1.27, which is normalization multiplier for long rods at 68°:
T-90M and BMPT have the same composite layout.
Am I missing something here? Why look at T-72B 1989?
T-72B89, T-90, T-90A/S, T-90M and BMPT based on T-90 have the same composite - 176 mm of steel, the rest is rubber/polyethylene material
