Imagine you have a BMP-T in front of you, with its turret aligned with the hull and looking straight at you. The hull, like that of the T-series, is its greatest weak point, but if it’s covered, where can you shoot it?
The vehicle has two weapons. If you shoot its missiles and destroy two, it still has two left, making it practically useless. Also, if the turret is not exactly at a 90-degree angle relative to the hull, the vehicle doesn’t get destroyed easily. On top of that, it’s sometimes hard to hit with the first shot, especially with APFSDS ammunition.
Even when using the protection map, the green zones don’t matter much. When testing some shots, they literally cause no damage: some kill a crew member and, if you’re lucky, damage a component without destroying it. It also has a crew of five and hard-to-reach modules, so even its weapons are not easy to knock out.
I only found one weak point in the middle of the hull that could work. However, it has two problems: the first is that slightly below that weak point there’s another almost invisible spot where the armor thickens considerably, which can easily nullify the shot (something that already happened to me before in another area of the chassis). The second is that if that part of the chassis is also covered, I have no other options to shoot other than the turret itself, which is already extremely resistant from every angle.
If it were a normal medium tank, it would be relatively easy to damage its breech, but with the BMP-T it’s very different. Since Gaijin doesn’t even want to properly fix this vehicle, I was hoping someone would explain how to deal with it under these circumstances, because it always ends up like this.
update: If it helps, I want to mention that I don’t even play in the top tier for the US. I only have and am using the HSTVL, the M1A1, and the squadron Abrams, but only the latter has almost all the upgrades, so I’m suffering terribly since all the matches are at the top tier, and the US is the nation that gaijin despise the most. -_- (I know some will deny this, but I don’t care, it won’t change anything.)
I say this because I saw that I was giving advice for top-tier Abrams, but I don’t have any of those. To make matters worse, most of the matches I play are bad, so the rewards are meager, and I don’t even have a premium account, so I’m nowhere near the first rank 8 Abrams. Even so, wish me luck so I can reach the top rank soon and put your advice into practice.
Actually, I wanted to take this opportunity to ask what you’d advise me to spend the 1500 Golden Eagles I have on. I bought them after selling an event vehicle. Should I use them or keep saving them? It’s worth mentioning that I only buy premium accounts during anniversary discounts, and I usually only buy the 90-day one, but that one costs around 2500 if I’m not mistaken. Even so, I don’t want to put any more money into this game because all it does is rob me, even if it’s just a little over $6 to buy the Eagles I’m missing.
