BMPT/72 BR Topic

After buying the Challenger 2 OES because I’m a dirty filthy wallet warrior, I am finding dealing with them easier in the higher BRs - you pretty much have to exclusively shoot it in the front lower plate or get a lucky shot through the side armour to kill it, it’s pretty much invulnerable from road wheels up

But there a lot of people who are wasting time trying to damage its turret or don’t know where to shoot it - and god forbid one gets hull down somewhere on a hill - my experiences at 10.7 have taught me well

Got my first “nuke”yesterday (didn’t manage to drop it which was frustrating) in OES, had to kill 4 BMPTs to get there… (the challenger 2 OES gets way too much stick for being bad, I love it so far)

They’re still toxic af, they just bog down any team trying to make an advance, and if one focuses you you’re blinded and then spanked with a very powerful missile

Puma got slapped with a bunch of nerfs, and move up BRs within days, not within weeks/months.

And to this day, we’re still waiting for proper fixes that would make the normal one 10.3 and the VJTF, 11.0 worthy.

Protection? Reported and accepted 4 and 3 and 2 years ago.
AHEAD? Reported and accepted 4 and 2 years ago respectively.
Spall liners? Reported 2 years ago and accepted.

BMPT on the other hand got NATO tier accuracy despite having none of that IRL… and of course, survivability better than any spall-lined MBT, be it 2A7V, or T-90M, because Gaijin refuses to balance it, its survivability, when it became known it could be killed via ammo hits to the turret? Gaijin patched that out, THEY PATCHED OUT GETTING KILLED BY BELT EXPLOSIONS LOL. It took weeks for them to even make it killable by ammunition explosion in the hull, but they still refuse to fix the fact you can explode the belts, that are sitting next to the crew, unarmored, and not kill the vehicle, lmao.

Oh, and they give out baskets to everything NATO, but BMPTs that have them irl? Nope, ofc not.

I hope you realize those numbers include times where BMPTs were at <11.0.

Doesn’t excuse it, even at 11.7 it dominates, and at 12.7 both of them hold their own well enough. They should also be nerfed.

We’ll have to see how they perform globally but premium one didn’t even dominate at 11.3.

It very much did, that’s why it also went up. Should’ve been moved straight to 12.0 and TT one to 12.7 but regardless.

So only super dominant vehicles move up by a single BR step ?

No they shouldn’t.

And that is? Because you think they shouldn’t? Well you also thought that about a lot of other OP RU vehicles ;)

You failed to answer my question.

You wanted to move it from 11.3 to 12.7 in a single update while basing that on a whim.

It was a strawman hence I ignored it, deal with that rusmain :)

You wanted to move it from 11.3 to 12.7 in a single update while basing that on a whim.

Based on its performance in top tier games, but since the vehicle’s russian, you’re gonna appear like you always do, and defend it like you always do :)

A vehicle as OP as TT BMPT should’ve been 12.7 outright, it performs in TT perfectly fine, unlike other autocannons.

Ah the duality of the RuMain.

‘Data shows that my BMPT/LMUR/KH-38/PantsirSV/insert any wunderwaffe here is NOT overperforming.’

Shown data that shows that the above statement is frankly - a load of bollocks

‘That Data DoEsNt CoUnT!’

Dont be too hard on him.

He claims 5.0 second is standart reload time in this game and thinks its quite easy to achieve by acing crews.

He also completely neglects the fact acing crew requires significant amount of play time by saying “you can just ge you know”, what a wonderful way to justify disgusting system.

Snaps fingers.

Ah - so THAT’s what I was getting wrong all this time?

=)

You might say.

He lost me when he said he will gladly spent GE on crew to achieve more reload speed in his autoloaded tanks by completely ignoring the fact that even without expert crew you will still have constant reloads on those tanks.

Meanwhile he claims achievable reload speed should be treated as standart by completely neglecting the fact that each vehicle that has human loader requires insane amount of time to play, it becomes even worse if you dont have premium account/talisman on that vehicle.

Facts!

War Thunder is now Russia Thunder
