The map design as the enemy facing each other from their respective spawns on both sides of the map unfortunately. If only 90% of my engagements weren’t frontally sigh. Basically 9.3 above has turned into a game of cat and mouse. We the mouse needs to run away when we see a terminator coming to us and sneakily take out them when they’re not looking. Need to adapt when Gaijin isn’t listening to us.
I just bought the ZTZ96A (P) :(
First time ? As already stated people still buying premium. 2S38 sale hit peak everytime there a sale going on. BMPT premium ? 70-80$ ? I would also do the same as them if the playerbase keep buying these thing lol.
But your best bet is to not fight it fontrally or not play 9.3-11.3. I don’t know how to tell you. Maybe it will be much more bearable if the underbelly shot actually kill the thing but so far I have not been able to. Soemtime it outright not pen
Uhmm you know the people that buy these vehicles are not the same people that complains about it?
The opinion of the rest playerbase nations doesnt matter bc USSR players enjoy buying op premiums?
Yeah I’ve been saying that since two days ago :) I know
and absolutely no one was surprised
I dont think theres even a wall to separate the crew or a ventilation system to redirect the explosion.
You don’t understand do you.
If sale are still stable and even hit peak. They don’t have to do anything because profit still coming in despite what the playerbase complain about. We could be here all day, I can list you even more problem for other country as well and premium balancing but non of that would matter if they still be able to get their money.
I bet they already made a shit ton of money just from the BMPT premium alone. Not counting the sale going on with the 2S38
There isn’t, but it is a unmanned turret and Gaijin thinks the terminator should cookoff like the PUMA since its also an unmanned turret.
oh well, that sucks.
idk how many people nominated this game for “Made with love” award.
Next time “Made for money” award

I mean , I don’t think people even considered it for the award…
Can it be considered unmanned turret when theres people sitting under it and next to the ammo?
I would call the T-15 Armata unmanned and with blowout pannels, not this thing
I think it should not be unmanned. But Gaijin thinks it is because the gunners are technically sitting in the hull.
Holy, hahahahaha.
It’s hilarious, isn’t it? Especially since in most cases nobody is going to reverse out of the close quarter combat GJN tends to force people into. Where an auto loader that eats spall and allows you to keep firing without even disabling your turret traverse beats a turret basket that creates rather than catches spalls and takes out the turret traverse.
Seriously, no matter how you point out that their argument holds no water since other nations have the same and similar problems “It has weakspots” vs “you can lolpen it anywhere”, and so on they’ll just circularly argue the same stuff time and time again.
I don’t think 11.3 is even sufficient for this thing. Not only is it absurdly stable, when the IRL version has incredible gun dispersion. It’s just leagues better than the PUMA VJTF and Namer. And it aint even close. At least in War Thunder.
It’s more survivable, the missiles are way better both in how they target and the damage they do, it has twice the gun. Oh and it feels like it doesn’t overheat anywhere near as quickly either. It’s currently a whole BR lower than two similar vehicles it should be way above.
Unless GJN wants to move both of those down to 10.3 and then move this thing up anyway.
I like how Russia is basically getting fantasy vehicles. While these things do exist, to some extent. Their specs in game and how they work is almost entirely fictional and made up. This thing, the 2S38, etc.
Submitted a new report.
The belts are internal, the crew sits in between the ammo.
There is no separation of the belts, there are two in total.
Added two primary- and a secondary source this time, despite the initial response being demented asf, as this is very much not external:
