Was the BMPT-72 known for its crew dying from the ATGMS being hit by a dart and being ammo-racked or has that always been a thing since the vehicle was added or is this a possible bug idk.

Definitely a bug if it’s only one and not the other.
Yeah, but is the bug that the premium one dies or that the TT one dose not?

Premium one dying, the missiles also have a case but BMPT/72s don’t die to HE rounds I don’t see why they would die to missiles
Both Terminators can be destroyed by hitting and destroying the ammo module, as well the missiles. I must say that’s on purpose. I’m still to understand how a strip of 30 mm casing is able to destroy a entire vehicle, and I mean in most vehicles, not only the Terminators; War Thunder being War Thunder…

Used to be a bug they fixed a few days after the update that brought BMPT went live. I guess it’s broken again. Just report it.
Also its both terminators, not just the premium one.
Never been killed by a shot to any ammo above the turret ring in the TT BMPT - not even in the past few days. As far as I can tell - it retains the magical ability to ignore any and all attempts to detonate it no matter what munition people care to fire at it.
It really SHOULD kill them if you strike the ammo. Even belts of 30mm have a tremendous amount of energy in them if detonated sympathetically. Just google for footage of BMP-2s going snap, crackle and then pop if their gun feed is set off.

it’s funny that basically all vehicles with exposed SAM/ATGMs get ammo-racked when you shoot the launchers, but on the BMPT it just destroys the missile…

What other vehicles with SAM/ATGM have the same amount of protection than a BMPT exactly?
BMPT’s are dying ? :O
What a wonderful and amazing piece of news…There’s never been better news some say there’s been better but i think that’s the best news, never been better.

You know it’s because of biased people like you that the game never gets better. If its a bug on something you hate, you dont care about it and rejoice about it, if it’s a bug on something you like, you cry everywhere you can. Be more objective, if something is bugged, it should be fixed, no matter the nation or vehicle.

It does kill them when you hit the ATGMs. Happens to me all the time.
Here had one APDS hit one of my ATGMs and it immediately killed the whole Vehicle
BMPT against 400mm of HEAT pen simulating the warhead on such drones (and its likely more powerful that that).
Hit anywhere there and you have the same result. There is no proof it hit directly the ATGMs, and besides I aint the one you have to convince. Taking out the ATGMs shouldnt do anything on any tank that has this amount of protection.
There are a few vehicles that can safely take a shot to the launcher(s), like IT1 and 122MT and probably some that I forget because no one uses them. BMPT does seem like it has the armor to eat the missile explosion

And as a counter example, shoot the atgms in the tubes of a Shturm or Khrizantema, and see what happens.
But no muh russian bias! (there is bias, just not here)
The actual ‘protection’ doesn’t mean that those ATGM tubes are somehow miraculously able to shrug off a tank round without harm. The fact remains that ALL armoured vehicles have their weakest armour on the roof/hull top - the BMPT being no exception.
If you thus detonate ammunition immediately above the crew compartment then the result is going to be bits of BMPT scattered across the landscape (as IRL they tend to do)…
There are also openings in the armour scheme to allow the 30mm gun feeds up from the hull to the turret - any openings are again a weakness.
TLDR - The BMPT’s ammo should explode like the ammo of any other tank. End of.

The bmpts been bugged for the last 6 months im rejoicing in the bug being fixed and it’s now actually able to die if this is the case this is fantastic news to me and the many other people that have been dealing with this shit since it came out

No it very much means so. Let’s see what kind of armor isolates the crew compartment from the atgm tubes.
You have:
- 40mm armor on the top of the unmanned turret, where the hatches are.
- 40mm of turret armor
- Spaced armor
- Composite armor
- ERA
- Around a meter separating the hull from the ATGM tubes
The blast from exploding an atgm over these will NEVER pen, that’s totally normal.
Completely unrelated to the atgms. That’s another story.
The BMPT are not bugged, they are filled with volumetric and ERA all over. People don’t know how to kill them and call them op. The actual bugs concerning the BMPT is the ATGMs exploding the entire tank when hit, which was confirmed to be a bug when it was released, it was fixed, and now it’s back, and it’s been passed to the devs according to the bug reports I’ve seen. Put your skill issue aside and realize that this IS the bug.
