Now that’s a good comparison.
Cause while Puma has APFSDS, it doesn’t have missiles.
And while it’s vastly more mobile, it’s not as armored.
Like, I think 10.3 Puma’s worse than BMPT.
@アルクェイド_ブリュンスタッド
It’s one of those situations that its offensive armament is sub-par for the BR, its mobility is average, but its armor is you know… T-72B, I think the best armor at that BR still, if not 2nd best.
It’s weird.
I think the armor matters, but that hasn’t typically been the opinion of others; Mobility was usually the argument.
So I think it’s just a weird moment. New vehicle makeup causing a hard guess of where it should be.
But still more than enough to at a bear minimum disable any MBT if not out right kill any MBT fairly easily and what its gun cannot, its ATGMs can.
Given we have far far weaker IFVs at and around the same BR, calling the BMPT “sub-par” in firepower is just being disingenuous
It has the survivability of an MBT, T-series tanks have decent mobility at that BR (sure their reverse speed sucks, but press W = Nuke) and it has a powerful gun and ATGMs. It puts MBTs to shame, let alone any other IFV at that BR, not all of which can match the BMPT in any of those 3 categories, let alone more than 1.
The best we can hope right now is the reduction of sale in the 2S38.
If we want to fix bigger issue , the reduction of sale in all premium across the board.
As of now everytime it sale. 2S38 always dominate the sale chart. Why would they nerf their people claimed to be “cashcow” when the very same people also have the thing in their account ?
For example take British vehicle. Im grinding it , and frankly from the look of all the Chally only one actually worth crewing. The rest are dogshit garbo , their premium reflect that very well. Non of the top of the line Chally deserve to sit in the same br bracket as T90M/8BVM/2A7/SEPV2.
Non of them should be there. But they know that people will ignore these issue , simply major nation still getting good addition in tech tree and especially in premium. Why would they care about Italian Arriete , Japanese Type10/TKX or British Challies when they know. That their playerbase will buy that 70-80 dollar premium at full price(even at half price it still extremely overprice). But sale still up just drop some random dogshit every major for those nation and everyone will be half happy
The missiles are the best ones at their respective BR and the guns while missing APFSDS have more than double the fire rate of a bushmaster or an MK30. Am i missing something on why they would be subpar for 10.3?
You can’t seem to select the lower fire rate in game too now that you mention it unlike all the other 2A42 cannons, but considering how rushed this patch was its probably an oversight since you manually have to select low firerate.
I’ve seen first hand someone stock grinding the tank just barrel my friend over and over again from range, because APHE just does so much damage to barrels.
It took it going to a 5v1 for my friend to die.
Puma is the only other sub-par armament at 10.3 I can think of.
The rest have APFSDS and 1000mm class missiles.
@H_ngma
800mm pen ATGMs are average around 9.0 for all other tech trees, including Soviets.
And if APDS doesn’t matter, why is M3 Bradley 8.3? APDS clearly matters for effectiveness.
That and everyone’s major complaint is the T-72B armor that the BMPT has, making it a challenge to deal with.
Yeah and its the highest until we hit spike territory. The difference being that the 9M120-1 goes 550ms and the Tow 329ms. Ergo it is literally the best missile before FnF ordinance.
Ofc it does but the Bradley has less than half the fire rate and none of the other boons so dont really see what that comparison is about, the bradley is clearly not insane at its br.
Over 180mm angled pen APFSDS [effective against angled RHA plates of over 90mm thick according to the statcard]. Strf 9040C is very much on-par for the BR and for the other class of autocannon vehicles it sits in.
The fact Puma’s the same BR as Strf 9040C is the weird one.
Higher speed for missiles tend to be more difficult to do minor corrections for.
And as I stated, peoples’ primary concern seems to be T-72B’s armor.
