Why would anyone even dare to think placing more than 14kg of explosives on a 70+Kg weighting warhead sticked on a doomstick what is designed to intercept flying targets…
Especially , when that doomstick weights nearly 600kg on launch.
This honestly just reminds me of the KA50 years where it was gaijins favourite little pony, yeh you can outrange all current AA, yes your missile can have proxy and impact, yes your missile is agile enough to hit incoming planes yes yes yes you can have everything you need to be a broken as possible as long as we keep selling more of them, i have no doubt the BMPT-72 will meet the same end… Only when Gaijin has a replacement lined up ready to go. Imo they honestly need to look at nerfing this vehicle in multiple ways, gun dispersion, limited missiles, Reduced ERA effectiveness, increase spall generation or just put it up in BR again. It’s honestly ridiculous we are this far from it’s implementation and it’s still a problem, is it done by design or is it incompetence who knows at this point. 2

I don’t think bug reports need to be in english, just war thunder forums
You forgot that when Ka-50/52 was added they were able to guide all vikhr’s at the same time it was pure BS and official sources stated that it could only guide two missile at the same time but Gaijin straight up refused to fix it because they wanted to keep them as op as possible, not to mention any semi decent Ka pilot was simply out performing SPAA systems due to that BS mechanism.
Still to this day Vikhr’s aren’t limited to switching mode against different type targets, for example if you want air mode you cant use it as an anti tank missile, same things happens when you switch to A2G mode.
Needless to say Russia received more selective realism than any other country in this game.

Submit a bug report with the official source
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder?from=now%252Fd-6mo&to=now%252Fd
And you think it hasn’t been reported yet? Lmao.
Both ahistorical features reported years ago, they only decided to limit the number of vikhr missiles you can guide after years ago.
Can you drop the report?
Reports are too old and I got no time to search for them right now as I have to go to sleep for tomorrow’s work.
I will look for them after I get back home or you can just search them on bug report site for yourself.
Oh yes, the CR2, Leclerc, and Ariete are most certainly survivable NATO MBTs lol

IF big IF, this is at all accurate and it could be who knows.
The difference might be between relying on large fragmentation patterns vs explosives.
Example: The AIM-120C5 has a 10kg lighter warhead over the AIM-120B but it’s fragmentation pattern is nearly double the 120B (IRL from reports)
Ended up being just a Russian bias thread with a different name, it derailed into a general discussion far away from the original and few first hundred posts.
I don’t believe they exist, I’m even waiting for those sources.
All posts derail every now and then it’s forums 101 regardless of the site. You get used to it.
Bait?
You can either look for yourself or wait for it until I get back home, I’m not gonna spend my time to find those sources while I’m working.
Top tier and BMPT would be less crushing if maybe CAS or helis existed for opposing nations. So the conversation will always loop to “why does one faction have the best toys”
But hey here we are. The BMPT has 1000m farther range AA capability than it’s marked in the catalog too since we’re on the topic of CAS and AA.
And this 30mm cannon is capable of accurately hitting at 4-5 km with maximum precision.
This cannon cant even hit building size target accurately from 500-1000meters in max ROF mode in real life, let alone hitting aircraft’s from 4-5km’s.
In reality or in game?
In reality? Absolutely not.
In game? Yep.
