like its un able to take a single hit from a 7.62 the BTR-82-at would be a very good ether ad on upgrade of a separate tank, please GAIJIN

I have a great need for this, I need this, Gaijin. I NEED IT.

Yes, although according to the leaks we are supposed to get the BTR-82AT, which also comes with third generation gunner thermals and some applique armor for the hull front and sides.
yeah 😅
That it is! Luckily it seems we won’t have to worry about some poor guy having to stand on top from the looks of it. I’m pleasantly surprised though, I thought for sure we’d just get the BTR-82AT with the Ballista turret or one with just the extra armor, but the Kornet launcher is a nice addition! Especially since there’s an odd lack of 9M133 carrying vehicles, only the BMP-2M at the moment.

Likely is the BTR-82AT from the leaks, doesn’t have the PL-1 IR emitter like the base BTR-82A, and the armour addons are optional

Maybe it’s a different vehicle.
We need the Ballista turret as a modification.
Its kinda weird, the ATGM can be placed on the side of the turret, yet Gaijin decided to keep it on top of it, in a VERY bad place
Well, it’s good here in War Thunder since we have ghost crewmen to operate it

With the possible introduction of infantry, im just scared to see the “ghost crewman” becoming the tank commander xD
long overdue for adding
I understand wanting another vehicle in the game, but what do you plan to do with another APC? I’m not asking to be a contrarian I’m genuinely curious. I mean the BTR-82A is long overdue (same with the LAV-25) but like, it can’t perform the role it was intended to in war thunder. APCs and IFVs can’t carry troops so it’ll just be another soft target for tanks and CAS to one-shot. Is it the hope that the mechanic will be added later on or just the cool factor?
It’s cause of the stabilized autocannon which the BTR-80 doesn’t have and without the ATGM of the BTR-82AT (which would place it at a lower br than it), a more ideal rat vehicle at a lower BR is what the logic is I reckon.

None of the BTR-80’s we have are APCs
I meant IFV
The BTR 82 never should have been in the game to begin with, the BTR 82a should replace it and go up in br.
What br? dont know, you can fight over it, those that have the BTR 82 keep it as a special like Panther 2.
