Just because ther was an OP vehicle in game doesn’t mean the enemy team’s monitor, mouse and keyboard stopped working.
There is abolutely 0 reason for that enemy team to only get 7 kills in total.
You understand that this BMPT is a real monster. Even Mavericks and Hellfires can’t penetrate it, and its armor is five times stronger than the T-90M’s. In some areas, its side armor reaches 1,700 mm. You understand how insane that is.

It’s like lowering Maus’s combat rating to 3.0 and wondering why the enemy team can’t win the fight.

The BMPTs only work as a reason/excuse for losing that game, there is still no excuse for a 15-16 man team to only have 7 kills between them.
They weren’t fighting a full team of 16 BMPTs, there were a bunch of Chally DS, Al Khalid and even a Centauro RGO on that team. Hell they even shouldn’t have much trouble killing the T-80Us on that team.
So they added the ability to kill it via the belt that goes up into the gun back but now it’s 1/3rd of the time a kill and 2/3rds of the time not.
And in this third image I pushed right up to this guy to kill him while he wasn’t even looking at me and made the perfect shot into the belt only for it to do completely nothing and him two tap me with the Atakas.
Might I also add that the belt doesn’t even feed into the gun.
Most of us will remember how busted the PUMA was on release at 8.3 just running teams.
The exact same thing is happening with the BMPT/-72 but since it’s premium and a Russian tank Gaijin will drag out the process to put it at an actually fair and correct BR as long as possible to rake in as much money as possible. Of course it should be at 11.3. Of course it you want to give it APFSDS it should be 11.7. Of course the ammo should actually feed into the gun and the belt should always detonated when it turns black after being shot so it can be dealt with in that way.
The fact that it didn’t at least go to 10.7 on patch day was ridiculous.
Now they did move it to 10.7 after a week of the patch being live.
And they even know this is not enough. They know and so do most players.

Brimstones also do not kill it…fired 3 all hit the top and just messed it up but didn’t secure the kill.
You do understand that the vast majority of War Thunder players are inexperienced/novice, right?

They need to change it’s damage model and allow it to die when it is shot. Even shots through the engine are doing no damage to the crew compartment.
Every update we all stare in wonder at the next OP dumb Russian addition. Kh-38, LMUR, Soyuz and now this.
It’s like kids making sure their favourite vehicle is OP and unkillable. For a game that wants to be taken seriously it’s pathetic.

Again, most War Thunder players are not fully locked in, super awesome, drop tons of kills a game, players. There is no excuse, there is a valid reason. And the fact they’re not fighting a full team of BMPTs doesn’t mean anything. It only takes one player with a good understanding of the game and his tank to win a match. And then add the BMPT/-72 that is an easy mode tank so it doesn’t take any effort. Even for a mediocre player. I’ve seen people in matches talking about how they “just got a nuke last match” and so on when they have even K/Ds on most of their tanks. And adding in the DS or Al Khalid doesn’t make it any better. The DS is a very good 10.7 and the Al Khalid is an 11.7 with amazing mobility, armor and a round that pens 577mm. Then you add in one of the most capable 11.7s in the form of the T-80U? It has a 6.0s autoloader with a 532mm pen dart and amazing mobility and armor.
Yeah a lot of people are bad at the game, shockingly bad at that.
I have been losing braincells for a while now either watching some of the rando’s on my team play or trying to figure out why they did something.
There are 11.7s that are far more scary to fight than the T-80U. The T-80U has a low skill floor, but the skill ceiling is also pretty low.
I think we started to see more nukes than ever in general at 10.7.I wonder why?(BMPT)

I mean what else is there at 11.7 that could be better? T-72B3 is worse, sure 3BM60 and the add on package is nice but 7.0 flat reload and 4.2km/h reverse suck. The Challenger 2s are a 4 stack of jokes even with the HP buff. Sure the Type 90s and TKX(P) are good but since the trunnion was added it makes fighting T tanks much harder unless they are clueless and drive in front of you. Al Khalid although good, doesn’t have what the U has. M1A1 is nice. I’d say it’s about all there is at 11.7 that’s better than the U. I mean the Ariete is good but it’s an Ariete. So only two, if not just one tank at 11.7 is better than the U.
There will always be people who go out hunting people who abuse an overpowered tank because generally those people aren’t the most skilled. And it makes it most satisfying when you own people who are playing something over powered. If I wasn’t fighting BMPTs, these 13 kill to 2 death games would be straight 13-0/+13-1 but not even I can beat something when it’s armor and ERA is fart past what my M774 is supposed to be fighting.
I missed the Centauros but they’re not close.
Unfortunately,BMPT dies if three vehicles shoot 2 or 3 rounds by each.
Well any tank should die when it’s hit by 6 to 9 rounds. It shouldn’t require three people to kill one tank after shooting multiple rounds.
Yes,i am not happy with the BMPT.It tanks so much and it kill so easily while other IFV which are worse than it are at higher BR
Namer:11.3 it is a joke with missiles and ammo compared to this
Ajax:10.3
PUMA VJTF:11.0
This vehicles has nowhere near performance as BMPT

M1A1 and Type 90s have a much higher skill ceiling than the T-80U. So facing these tanks when played by good players will always be more scary than facing the T-80U played by similarly skilled players.
Also I personally prefer playing the Chally 2 over the T-80U, but that is more playstyle based than it’s vehicle performance based.
