im aware that going for the grenade launchers etc. does nothing; said protection map was for demonstrative purposes.
Oh yeah, definetly. At least with L23A1. L23, tbh… Im not sure what Id do. Other than not play anything with only L23 that can see the BMPT
Though fighting a BMPT in CQB in a Challenger 2 is sooooo much easier.
i would be surprised if it didnt. (then again its the Chally 2 were talking about).
Nevertheless the scenario will play out the same no matter if its Challenger DS, Leopard 2A4 or Leopard 2A7V. BMPT will come barreling down around the corner and the game becomes a quick time event - can the player click the BMPTs weakspots before his barrel gets taken out?
Thats the core of the issue. Sure, higher BR opponents will make this “window of opportunity” larger but its a bandaid fix.
Part of the “issue” is that your test doesn’t have the upgraded ERA kit. I noticed when I was checking my DM53 rounds, I could not do a proper pen test because I do not have the TT BMPT ground out yet (working on it currently). I only really notice the crazy bouncing darts when it has the upgraded ERA blocks on the sides.

sure, not denying that. I never claimed to show 100% reliable way to take out BMPT. As I said, it was for demonstrative purposes.
Seeing as Relikt bags™ infuriate me to no end, I have zero doubt the upgraded ERA kit on BMPT will significantly affect the side protection.

Oh I am not saying your test is bad lol, my point is that the reality is even worse 😂
I am not sure if the other guy you were chatting with saw my post about my DM53 rounds bouncing. I have first hand experience with the magic bouncing darts against the BMPT’s: BMPT/72 Should not be 10.3 - #2571 by SilentTracker

has there been an official response on how the invisible blow-out panel works yet or?

Yes and no.
I think the core of this discussion is what happens after said tank fires at the BMPT.
With the better penning shells, it will probably kill. With the lower penning shells, it might just kill the driver and it keeps on going and eventually kills you or disables you before you can fire again

either way, youre fkd :D
dont get me wrong, im fully on board with shoving the BMPT to 12.0; I just think that it requires deeper fix.

I agree, though I think that it facing stronger shells mitigates the degree of changes needed to “fix” it.
Like at 10.7, they could almost do with removing all the ERA.

If BMPT’s atgms and belts are considered external, I think we should have a reclassification of all atgms and belts for every single vehicle.

That only seems fair and logical.
That’s why it won’t happen.
XM-1, T-64/MBT-70, IT-1, IS-6, T29, … , FW-190D-13.
I think all ammo stored in an MBTs turret should be considered external as it’s not in the main body of the tank 😜

Magach Hydra: You are wrong with that thinking bro, my rocket pods are located outside, but when it gets blown up, the rocket will teleport into the turret and kill everyone inside.

Yea the unlike the bmpt the PUMA never received a buff as compensation from moving up in B.R it was nothing but straight nerfs back to back lol
Tiger II also stores its ammo inside the turret. Wounder why its not external? Why is the whole tank lighting up, when the turret gets shot? And BMPt not??
Questions…

Its the turret that sells it for me. If they would have put that Turret on a T-80 hull then it would legit be my in my top 5 tanks in game. Both on looks and gameplay.

guess what happens when they introduce a tiger II captured by the Soviet…
External ammo AND an upgraded engine.
