I checked it right now and it still has them.
I’m fine with 9.0BR, but it fills a different role to BMP3. BMP3 doesn’t have an ATGM sight that can be used behind inclines, obstacles, etc. My only issue is that they’ve put it amongst the anti-tank missile carriers, but it has the same light tank classification as the BMP/BMD, etc, so no ammo box. With that ATGM sight, this thing is more like a glorified missile slinger with a gun. Too bad it has the light tank classification.

It wasn’t working for me, I could only use thermals in the gunner view but could glitch the thermal imager into the ATGM sight.
Yeah that’s how I made it work too, I don’t know if it should be that way or not though.
Well iirc the ATGM sight has a thermal channel
You can tell I’m keen to unlock BTR today :D
Been waiting for this moment since BMP3 left us.
Edit: The grind was worth it (in my one game in it so far). ATGM sight is high as heck. Just wish it had ammo box.

It would make more sense for this to be 9.0 if it didnt have the missile

It only has APDS. This thing is 9.0 because of the ATGM.

Don’t think so.
Without a missile 82AT is like a 8.3/8.7 vehicle.

How do you use the ATGM sight?
It’s what ever you have for ‘Select special weapon or ATGM’
Normal Sight:
ATGM sight:
With ATGM sight, all you need to do is find yourself something to hide behind and let the fun begin (until you run out of ATGM, because they made this a light tank and not an ATGM-missile-carrier).

Will HE or HEAT overpressure you if launcher is hit ?
Haven’t been hit in the ATGM yet. It’s so far away from the chasis, who knows.
According to protection analysis - firing a big HE shell (aka Pz 2000) does nuke it:
But so far, at 9.0, most people have only just tried shooting darts at it - if they even see the launcher at all.
Yeah people got comfortable with bringing no HEAT/HE at that BR.
From my testing 105mm HEAT and above will overpressure the crew.
90mm HEAT will kill one (gunner) or two crew.
Main issue I’ve found with it so far is the ATGM drop with the ATGM sight. Can be an issue depending where you’re hiding yourself. And it can also lose signal to the ATGM if you’re pressed up too close to cover. Nothing worse than your ATGM hitting the dirt when you’ve only got 4 and no ammo boxes.
I’ve tested it right now and it seems like ATGM wants to follow the path from the gun view, so it drops immediately to that height.
What I’ve seen is that ATGM always impacts slightly lower than the reticle if you’re using it’s own sight.

so to2 +20mm gun = 10.3 but 33 mm gun with 1200mm pen missile 9.0 wtf??
The Wiesel is tiny, the BTR is a huge bus
The entire reason the TOW Wiesel is 9.7 is because of its size

This has a gun as well, its a huge thing for these kind of vehicles. Either Wiesel is too high BRed or these super ATGM vehicles with Kornets and whatnot neet do move up. Wiesel has just TOW.
I never understood why kornets fight Leopard 1 tanks and other gen1 MBTs without any armor. Its perfectly capable to ATGM modern MBTS from any angle.
