I mean they do. T58/Turm II/J-7D and probably some more that I can’t be bothered to name. It just they probably think they could let this slide and think the playerbase would let it pass , like most of the other premium or broken vehicle. Too bad the BMPT actually got a premium version on release so they can’t blatantly nerf the tech tree while leaving the premium untouch.
They know what they are doing and testing if they could push it even further.
You mean the T-90M and T-72B3 are the bodies of 2 10.3 vehicles:
That’s like saying the Challenger Mk2 has the body of a 12.7 just because Black Night is 12.7.
Also the armor isn’t a direct reference for the autocannon and ATGM combination, it’s only a general reference point.
However, I’m glad to see my take repeated here:
The following is calling out some of their mistakes, a criticism of past behavior:
They quite literally do with all premiums and non-premiums that have no direct reference.
Harrier T10 had other Harriers and Su-25 as direct reference.
EBR had no reference. 2.3 BR above first addition.
Puma had no reference. 2.0 BR above first addition.
M3A3 probably had no reference. 1.0 BR above first addition.
PT-76-57 had no reference. I forgot its initial BR, I just know it wasn’t 8.3.
People argue that the R3 T20 was OP, and it was added without direct reference. 2.7BR above first addition.
The list goes on and on about these mistakes.
The only saving grace about BMPT is that it’s not a 1.7 - 2.3BR screw up, but seems to be a 0.7 - 1.0 BR screw up instead.
So they are learning. At this rate they’ll have fully learned by 2028. I’d prefer they learn sooner of course.
So you have a K/D of 3:1 and 80%+ WR at 11.7 lol, this thing needs to be 12.0 without APFSDS then clearly.
And can Gaijin finally make the belts explode and kill the crew lmao, it’s so idiotic how they do it only for this vehicle but not for anybody else (hurr durr external belts when that isn’t a thing).
Okay. I’ve done a cross analysis.
M4 Jumbo 75 is 2.0 BRs above 3.7 M4s, and 2.3 above the arguably under-BR’d M4s.
M4 Jumbo 76 is 1.3 BRs above M4 76.
IS-3 is 2.0 BRs above KV-122 while having 120% more armor.
And IS-2 1944 is 1.3 BRs above KV-122 while having 50% more armor.
Matlida is 1.3 BRs above A-13, and 1.7 above reserve.
KV-220 is 1.0 BR above KV-85 while having ~25% more armor.
At minimum I’m seeing 1.3, and at maximum I’m seeing 2.0 or 2.3.
With this said… Let’s look at BMPT.
BMP-3 is 9.3 with no armor and similar weapons.
BMPT has a massive armor upgrade over BMP-3, and is up to 80% superior to Namer 30 in protection.
1.3 higher is 10.7 where it is currently.
2.0 higher is 11.3.
And at the most arguable BR is 11.7.
With this evidence of previous armor upgrades while retaining same weapons, 11.3 BR is a reasonable expectation to have.
With 11.0 looking to be an obvious change with this evidence.
So while I had no opinion on the BMPT outside of 10.7 minimum being necessary prior to this evidence, I now have this evidence to supply validity to 11.3 claims.
Edit fixed a wording error: Accidentally typed “extreme” instead of the intended “BR”.
I just love how years back, before the BMP-T/BMP-72 was considered even being added,
Some people, including Russian mains, predicted that it would essentially be a BMP-2M but more armoured with an MBT chassis, which would place it at a relatively high BR, so there would be almost no point in playing it.
I guess that highlighted part really turned out unexpected…
