BMPT/72 BR Topic

Yes Russians not realising that the best way to suppress a threat is with accurate fire rather than inaccurate large volumes

in this scenario when i fire on bmpt and no pen the loader load ammo bmpt fire on mee want to flank and my loading froze for 6 sec what’s going on? somebody explain me… but the loader not killed only driver…and my loader no want to load fk ammo to defend myself

so somebody tell me this how is fair and balanced??? if u no play russia u completly fk… the bmpt nera overperfor this not normal modern apfsds cant pen it in side… so gaijin u want to nerf bmpot in this life?









all chinese “pro players” use bmpt yeah why? min 6 monts passed but is broken is time to buff puma and other ifvs with spike!

This new update will buff Relikt armour of BMPT, incase you guys missed this important news, BMPT just got solid buff !!! 10.7 and above got more unplayable

I think everyone’s given up at this point in hoping that every patch will see any form of fair performance improvement for any western vehicles and not just an opportunity to mass buff an overly performing nation like for example introducing a new US round only to coincidentally “find a bug” with the armor it’s designed to defeat and improve it just enough to defeat the newly introduced round.

Looks like the have been changes to Russian autocannons on the dev server. The lasers are gone.

This is a drastic nerf of the 2A42, I’m really looking towards Abrams enjoyers or Type-10 (me) that won’t be evaporated even at 500m+ by the perfect 30mm aiming to the ring/LFP. Finally a good nerf to the BMPT. Even tho it’s armor and all is still laggy and in closer quarter it will be still opverly good at it’s current BR.
At least it’s not 10.3 anymore>

But my main issue is that they did NOT nerfed the 2A42 on Ka-52 and Mi-28NM; those will still hit you with the first APDS at 3km when you fly mach1+.
Meanwhile, this can happen IRL:

how much was the buff though?

It sounds like they just added a couple mm which doesn’t seem very significant

not fixing the real problem of the BMPT

From the patch notes it seems to be a sort of backing plate so at most maybe 20mm? They’re just complaining because anything about a Russian tank was improved

Yeah, it’s not a huge issue especially since the ERA is not the actual issue with the BMPT

Also true, I can’t wait to see people realize this and then complain about how Gaijin isn’t fixing the real problem even though they complained about such an irrelevant thing as shot dispersion

They don’t care about the real problem because they would rather cry for br changes which is easier to do

Buff to kinetic protection which will make killing BMPTs with autocannons far harder and the chance of Darts spalling and hitting key components.

Buffing a system that is already overperforming in game is a crazy decision.

FYI, this will only affect the Relikt skirts on the sides of the BMPT-72 and other MBTs, and nothing will be improved about the Ramka in this sense.

Doesn’t look like it to me. Increase in the quality modifier basically increases the chance of the full kinetic protection being provided when hit.

As if Relikt (the most dubious and overperforming of ERA) needed to be more consistently overperforming…

It’s problematic US get a new round and Gaijin buff Relikt which is fine for top tier but not 10.7 games where BMP-Ts are hard enough to deal with.

It’s still pretty absurd that gaijin hasn’t hard coded this armor to also only provide full protection if it detonates. One ERA unit doesn’t stop ammo more than once. Not to mention the ammo that shouldn’t interact with it (autocannon darts) still get influenced by non-exploding ERA when they shouldn’t be.
