BMPT/72 BR Topic

If you’re entire team is running BMPT, it’s pretty hard to nuke when they are wiping out teams left and right. You really need to drive it like you stole it in order to get a nuke. It is definitely easy to get a nuke with it if you sweat hard enough.

The primary reason I don’t run 10.7 Leopards and Abrams is because of BMPT, M1A1s, Chally 2s, and T-series MBTs at 11.7.
It is objectively worse than facing IS-4M and Maus while in T26E5, cause at least T26E5 has a chance of bouncing rounds.

@AlvisWisla hey , can you tell me who is Statisticians?

The BMPT-72 at 11.7 is bearable but the BMPT with 5 crew should be a minimum BR 12 or even 12.3. In this chat, we have been waiting for a good solution and I can say even a BR increase is not enough this tank needs a complete rework of its survivability hull down or a complete removal from the game.

Me when i make stuff up and pull numbers out of my ahh 😭😭😭

Actually people would not agree with you, because “BMPT was OP” implies it’s not OP anymore. So which stance are you on? Is BMPT op or not? You’ve been switching up every comment.

Yes , BMPT should be nerf performance.
add basket and this ammo should be once shooting or after relief valve boom refill and once shooting destroy tank

I would take anything at this point. One shot to anything on that turret should hinder it like every other crewless turret in war thunder. The fact you can blow up one belt and switch easily to your other belt and continue shooting is ridiculous in this game.

Not really lying. The BMPTs will maybe take a few challys down but they definitely will lose. How I know is I have the exact missiles on my MI8 and those missiles are completely ineffective against the front of any challenger and the sides of some. If it’s the black night, the APS will stop everything.
I use a Leopard 2PL with a DM33 and BMPTs aren’t an issue for me at all, I kill them with a MAXIMUM shell count of 2. Challengers have better frontal armour, especially the frontal hull’s composite. The BMPT’s APDS will not be able to do anything to a challenger as the BMPT has a pen of ~80mm.

All in all, BMPTs can not handle challys… Or leo 2s from 11.7+

That’s really great to hear man, I’m happy for you. But my game seems to be bugged. I played Abrams, Leo and Type 90 and every time those BMPTs take out my cannon in a second, or in the case of the Abrams, straight up go through the center of mass.

I really wish i had your version of the game where BMPTs with its 80mm of pen can’t do anything frontally to a Leo.

If you don’t get a quick and clear shot of any BMP - they’ll take your barrel

BMPT doesn’t dominate because it can pen frontal armor. The BMPT will easily mobility kill any tank at 12.7. Barrel, track, move around and finish you off. Saying a missile from an MI8 being defeated by APS doesn’t confirm anything about the challey.

It’s the EXACT missiles used on the BMPT so yeah it does

BMPT doesn’t rely on missiles… have you gone up against a BMPT? It sounds like you need some time experiencing what’s going on at top tier.

Maybe

It’s okay if you haven’t but I’m telling you the major problem isn’t the BMPTs missile but survivability especially hull down and model for war thunder making it a top tier META from all tanks.

If you go look at previous videos some folks posted here, (myself included) the tank is unstoppable in competent hands.

Here is one of many video from streamers on youtube about the BMPT in game.

let alone lfp, lets say you fight the chally 2 with the added lfp armor, you can still pen the driver hatch area really easily, let alone breach.
Biggest issue with BMPT is the fact that it will rapidly cripple anyone with the 2 autocannons let alone the missiles, and it makes sure it can kill you later, but the most underlying issue with the BMPT its the artificial survivability it has, ammo belts dont blow, side ERA has demonstrated to be excessively overperforming to the point of killing full on flat apfsds shots and turret barely generating any spall when hit wich makes it stupidly hard to disable any turret component
They treat it like a crewless turret without the disadvantages of a crewless turret, its honestly dumb to say the least

True if you miss the spall liner. They aren’t easy missiles to aim - they also get worse missiles than the BMP2M… the BMPTs weak spots are the same of any russian MBT. (Except if it’s hull down)

they aim significantly better than any missile, they have better pen than a lot of the missiles at its BR except the TOW 2A(vs ERA), they can be fired on the move, and to top it off they are incredibly fast, let me remind you that the BMPT has a different crew setup, and also an ammo setup, what killed russian tanks the most was the ammo being a giant donut around the lowest part of the hull, in the case of the BMPT all the ammo its located on the most furthest sides of the tank, and the cherry on top is the fact that at times they dont even blow, th

Thought I’d hop on after work, play my 10.7 Britian Line up - 4 matches in a row, whole team absolutly devasted by 3-4 BMPTs on the enemy team

Its been the same all weekend, and last week aswell, if you’re not on team Russia, you lose

I’ve been playing on and off since 2013, and only recently got back into playing tanks - I’ve never seen a more toxic, broken vehicle - Hull down its virtually unstoppable, as soon as you fire at it, he’ll turn his guns on you and you’re next

How are MBTs supposed to counter? It’s not like you can close the distance to try one shot it, even if your armour functions you can’t see a thing

Fighting it at range is a waste of time due to the tiny weakspots and pin point accuracy of its notoriously inaccurate cannons - and when you do land a hit… it appears to do very little - it can sit on a ridgeline and dictate the entire battlefield

Even tried throwing HESH at one, might aswell of been throwing rocks at it
