BMPT/72 BR Topic

If that’s the case we need Germany and Russia to be the most popular nations in the game.

Im 99% sure they are already in most BRs

I’m gonna offer you 2 options:

  1. Move to 12.7 and close this thread
  2. Move to 12.0 and this thread going to 18k comments

We gonna turn this into another premium BR that nobody cares to play.

If they’re not going to bother fixing the BMPT/72.

I rather they take all of 12.7 GRB with the BMPT/72 and any CAS (Plane and Helicopter) that’s GRB 12.7+ and move them all up to a new BR 13.3 then anyone who wants to play the BMPT can go play BR 13.3 cause there is nothing special about most nations for me after BR 12 except Russian getting the most decked out SPAAs and AGM IR missiles along with the BMPT and I don’t even believe in Russian bias.

Close the thread, and I’ll then move on to complaining about the weak spaas every nation has compared to Russia on the SM-SV thread.

RIP Germany, suffering from success. I don’t think getting the LEO for Germany is worth it with almost every minor nation in war thunder getting better variants which is insane, since Russia still has the best variants of their T-80s.

It’s not worth it either.
I like them, ans thr 2a4m combo with the PSO and a6 has been fum but super meh.
Its pretty tedious using a leopard., fighting leopards.
It also takes from them the uniqueness of the longer caliber cannon DM53.

Can imagine it does, the sad thing is about the BMPT and 72, is the fact that so many idiots have grabbed it, and they will maintain maybe a 1.0 - 1.8 kd with it…
Meaning gaijin will look at it and say its fine and balanced where it is.
Like the sheer volume of these buggers floating around matches is extremely high, i think the highest ive seen for a tank in WT.

The only saving grace is its really hard to play it badly which means it will get nerfed or sich again i hope.

The BMPT in is one of the most frustrating and poorly balanced vehicles currently in the game. Its combination of survivability, autocannons, missiles, and overall versatility makes it far too effective compared to other vehicles at its BR.

What makes this even worse is Gaijin’s lack of logical balancing decisions regarding the BMPT. Despite constant complaints from the community, the vehicle continues to dominate matches with little to no meaningful adjustments. It honestly feels like Gaijin either ignores feedback or does not properly test how oppressive the BMPT is in actual gameplay.

The autocannons are especially ridiculous. They can endlessly spam shells that destroy barrels, tracks, optics, helicopters, and light vehicles within seconds. Even heavily armored tanks can barely react before losing critical components. Combined with fast ATGMs and excellent survivability, the BMPT has almost no weaknesses in many combat situations.

Another issue is how forgiving the vehicle is. A normal tank can become useless after losing one crew member or a critical module, while the BMPT can often survive multiple hits and still fight effectively. This creates an unfair gameplay experience where other vehicles are punished much harder for mistakes.

Gaijin also seems inconsistent with balancing standards. Other vehicles get nerfed quickly when they overperform, yet the BMPT remains extremely powerful for long periods of time. This gives players the impression that balance decisions are arbitrary rather than based on actual game health or statistics.

Instead of encouraging tactical gameplay, the BMPT promotes brainless autocannon spam and passive gameplay behind cover. It lowers the overall quality of top-tier battles and makes matches feel more frustrating than enjoyable.

The BMPT seriously needs balancing changes such as:

  • Higher BR placement
  • Reduced autocannon damage or fire rate
  • Worse survivability
  • Longer ATGM reloads
  • More realistic weak spots

At the moment, the BMPT feels less like a balanced vehicle and more like a premium power fantasy that Gaijin refuses to properly address.

When I get the BMPT Ill be the only friendly BMPT player…

Spoiler

But like the Dark Side you start off thinking you’re doing the right thing but then Ill kill everyone.

We head into another weekend with the triumph of staggering incompetence still in the game and no fixes applied.

It’s honestly impressive how gaijin can be so blinkered.

Another nerf they should do is limit the reload of missiles in a single spawn at 8 missiles: you either go 4 from the box and 4 from any cap,or you go 8 on 2 boxes or twice in the same cap (or two different times in two different caps)

The enemy team needs two BMPTs with the hull covered inside a cap and they’ll almost surely win

its the same br as the american 4j

We just maintain a clean Forum by keeping all BMPT related info in a single thread. As you can see, we merged his original post into this one. Nothing was lost or deleted.

Its Beautiful

Speaking of clean, how long is this trash can going to be filled up before any devs take notice?

You’re yelling at the void - containment thread is all this is

well aware of it’s BR cause their ground loadouts are effectively the same, it has PD radar and Skyflash.

So instead of actually fixing anything, you silence people and throw them into a singular thread just to tell daddy Gaijin, “see, nothing is wrong, we only have one active thread about the BMPT!”
