Gonna say not really at all lol.
They aren’t covered in it “at all angles” you just gotta know where to shoot them.
As well I’ve a around 7000 games at rank 7 and above in Ground vehicles alone, and never had an issue with relikt, that’s because I’ve always endevoured to shoot either under it or not shoot it.
That’s catagorically false, to kill the T90M you shoot either.
LFP
Drivers port
turret ring
from the side under the ERA.
45 degree angle, roadwheel. Under the ERA:
BMPT -
LFP
Drivers port but it’s super sketchy hence my point about the broken DM.
at a 45 degree angle, through teh roadwheel under the ERA.
Looks like they removed part of the armor under the barrel - unless I am mistaken. The M1 base has a much larger chunk of armor bellow the barrel than the m1a1 does.
All of your weakpoints only function for high power KE ammo.
If someone is using a missile or autocannon (HSTV-L and RDF-LT included) they’re literally SOL because the entire tank will soak up damage forever with the massively overperforming ERA.
Now hold on get a side profile of a BMPT.
Can’t pen the side at 10.7
Cant shoot the turret
Aim low and the round might track it but not hit ammo.
Front shots the driver port shot is risky, the turret is again pointless.
This changes further when you have an autocannon
And side shots are no longer viable.
I was taking the VRCC to fking 11.7 and up, it’s a 9.7 and I’ve killed the BMPT side on, frontally and from the rear.
You acting like a CR1 MK3 can’t with L26 is pretty poor.
Under the ERA mate, it’s viable on a T90, T72 and BMPT.
Learn to aim.
And you wont now with the internal Relikt buffs. the rounds effects combined with the spall liners will reduce the effectiveness. I have killed BMP-Ts with the PUMA and AJAX before this planned buff it was already a pain in the ass.
Lower shots to a T-series tank may hit the ammo on a BMP-T what are you hitting? Nothing maybe a track it might spall and hit a crew member
L26 is serviceable it’s not good and it’s not great
i will cause I just won’t shoot the ERA lol, it makes absolutely zero difference if the Relikt is buffed.
The bloody ammo sits below the ERA line?
It’s the 2nd highest penning round at 10.7 only behind DM33 which is found even up to 12.0 as a standard munition.
Excluding of course the 700+ pen round of the 292.
What do you mean L26 is “serviceable” I regularly take out the BMPT with the damn M774 found on the M1 abrams as well xD
Is the BMPT damage model a shambles, yes, but the fact of the matter is. You shouldb’t be shooting the ERA anywhere on any russian tank, Period.
I said ERA is being buffed the Internal Relikt protection along with spall liners will make these tanks stronger. That is just a fact and shooting under the ERA in some cases that will work but rarely on a BMP-T chance of ammo exploding is low.
T-90M is not as egregious as it faces top tier rounds.
as does the BMPT mate.
L27A1, DM53, DCT10, bm60, M332 or whatever the isreali 11.3 round is with near 600 pen.
All at 11.3 or 11.0 bar the 27A1.
The ERA being buffed, even the “internal relikt” will not make a difference if you’re shooting it’s weak points. That is my entire point. Spall liners sure, the ERA buff no, not at all.
Certainly sounding like you do with your responses on L26 mate.
And you´re right but it doesn´t mater, you just said that shooting the ERA is a “tosup”, now with the buff is more of a nono, yes, you shouldn´t shoot there, but most of the time you just dont have time to not aim there or the not era point is just not visible, it doesn´t matter a lot your entire point in terms of gameplay, even less when the nerfs to the dispersion of terminator guns have been reduced today.
You can´t just say “aim better” when the enemy hasn´t to aim better.
now pigeon read the higher up quote multiple times… this is what post are all about… yeah they have relikt etc. but this is a game why do we as in mains form other nations have to pinpoint a tank from the side to get a kill while they shoot anywhere and have the same effect? a nation buffed with best spaa / best helicopter atgm with correct lofting / best AGM missiles on multiple carriers… aaaand helf of their tech tree is either very modern compared to others or never existed outside a prototype scale production with manufacturer specific details which are in most cases unrealistic?
