Guys, has anyone noticed this issue with the new BTR-82AT?
If you hit the ATGM launcher mounted above the turret, the whole ammo rack suddenly detonates and the vehicle gets destroyed instantly.
Why does this happen? I really doubt that hitting the ATGM would realistically set off the entire ammo load. Looks more like a bug, because it doesn’t make much sense.
This affects literally every other vehicle with externally mounted ATGMs and light turret armour
But not in AFT90, Mephisto or other similiar vehiclles, since those missiles cant be blown off.
You shoot em, those just turn red. And besides that launcher is tallest of em all, so it would have biggest aircap on detonation.
aft09 also gets destroyed this way, unless the tube that was hit didnt had a missile but it happens quite often, one atgm gets detonated and chain reaction happens… BTR82AT however shouldnt be as susceptible to this considering there’s only one atgm mounted on top and the selfie stick is high enough to mitigate some of the damage, i feel like what should happen is similar to some videos i’ve seen from grad getting hit (missile propels itself out of the tube when damaged) or at least there should be a chance for such a thing to happen instead of the explosion
Never managed to detonate missiles of aft or mephisto. Even hitting right on missiles. just going black / red and nothing more. Best example is on abandoned factorys A flag, where aft can go inside that building and only showing missiles, and still not exploding it.
I’ve never once died that way in AFT09. Any footage?
I will say, as someone who plays USSR 9.0 quite a lot (Object279), the BTR-82 sounded better on paper than what we’ve actually got ingame. I don’t know how others are feeling about it. Like, it’s not Badger bad, but yeah…
im gonna play some games now and see if i can film it, maybe i was confused and got hit by some form of HE or HeatFS in the turret which caused inmediate destruction lol but i remember this thing exploding when hit in the turret many times
i’ll go and die and take a look brb
That’s exactly it! But I’ll add, they don’t turn red. I recently had a case when I was shooting at a Mephisto missile launcher. It was black, but it didn’t detonate.
Cheers.
This is my video that gets posted around:
I’ve got others where I just eat darts and go about my day. Funny how survivable AFT09 is.
Main thing I watch for is autocannon spam and big-big HE shells.
Not sure if this is based on probability but this is likely untrue, there has been numerous of times someone has hit the missiles mounted on the turret of the AFT09 and I continue with my day, this has happened quite often to me as well. You lose your loaded missiles, that’s basically it - a bit like a blowout panel.
Welcome to Milan and tow life
I nuked many aft09s through ammoracks
Any footage?
Nope thinking about it it’s likely overpressure I generally load heat/hesh as soon as I see the demon atgms over the hill
People have this irrational fear of USSR vehicles.
I’ve been told numerous times that vehicles like 775 or BUK would doom their entire BR range.
yep, so you dont have nuked em trough ammoracks. (not counted shooting in hull’s ammorack)
He/Hesh can overpressure it, but darts just fly trough missiles.
lol i forgot about this topic
