People often treat it as a gimmick vehicle but its speed and suprisingly lethal cannon can really put out some good work. I played around 350 battles in it and its by far my favourite vehicle. I had 5 nukes in it alone (no other vehicles) and its geniuently a lot of fun even if the playstyle takes time to get used to. I tried to uptier it to 9.0, 10.0 and even 11.7 and to my suprise it does just as well at 9.0 and 10.0 as on 7.3. On 11.7 its a little worse since most vehicles there have much better reaction times and flexibility which makes it harder to flank and abuse their weaksides. I reccomend everyone give it a try especially if you like light tanks/IFVs. Its also pretty good at grinding not beacause it gets lots of RP but because I dont really get tired after playing for a while.
Yea i was considering grinding italy for the 7.3 wheeled shit box line up, and the BTR had reinforced that idea
I took it in the 8.0 Italy lineup, it is honestly not bad. However, this is probably more like a prop for filming cinematics than actually being used in the game since its an APC after all.
i dont get how its supposed to played. With just an autocannon and no stabilizer at 7.3? Youre talking about having to fight heavy tanks. If you get lucky and pull a flank then yeah its decent. How does one have 5 nukes with the BTR?
Still waiting for a stabilized variant
same br as the luchs. Russian bias once again
Simple, you run, hide and absolutely annihilate open topped and light armored vehicles and sometimes dumb cas players.
“Hide” Have you looked at the size of that thing?
Yes, there is a difference between cover and concealment. Use cover, forgo concealment.
Even for covers, you need your entire vehicle to be covered and a big size makes it much harder especially with our current maps, you just risk getting shot with a HE shell or even disabled from normal rounds if you can’t cover your vehicle properly. Not to mention that the BTR having no stabilizer is not as good at doing peek-a-boo shots, especially if your enemy has armor. You can also simply just be 50 cal’d from the front in the first place, so not like your opponents have to pick careful shots either.
i could do the same thing with SPAA, why BTR 80? I feel like if u throw a atgm launcher on it, yes it has been done, and put it to like 8.0 or smth yeah itd be good next to the BMP 1 and 2s.
