The BTR-82AT has been a great success with its high up Kornet ATGM. The Kornet-D2 is the same ATGM, But with 7 more ready to fire and an addition 8 kept in the hull stsorge. The hull is from the BDM-4M what we have in game, so yes it can go up and down for more or less height.
We all know what this is and all USSR mains want it. Its a T-72 hull with unmanned turret. Its armed with x2 30mm cannons and X4 Ataka missiles. Because the BMPT-72 is a “tank support AFV” it should be classed as a tank destroyer, rather than an IFV / light tank. As a result, no scouting but will get the ammo box.
the first may not come, the obj640 will not come to the game and even bvvd said it himself that there is no proof that the tank ever shot a round, same as Kornet-D 2, the game is not readdy for atgm launcher at top tier, the maps are close range and horible, people will complain.
but the bmpt its just pure need, russia is the only one lacking top tier fast firing/atgm tank, before you say play the bmd4m2 at top tier i would love to see you try.
in tank maybe, not is air techtree, russia only got 3 normal fox plane and 1 advance.
comapre this the usa with, 4 normal fox3 plane and 3 advance one. (didnt count the f14)
russia need plane from 11.7 to 12.7 and 13.3 to 14.0 who the best option are, MIG25 12.0/ MIG31 (no fox3) 12.7/ MIG29M (AESA) 14.0/ MIG29K 13.7/ SU27SM3 14.0/ MIG31BM 13.7
for me its just to focus on other tree than usa, like sweden and china
Object 640 is a no from me. The other options are great. I’m excited for the moment the Kornet-D BMD-4M is added. Although the problems found in the Khrizantema-S will be found in the Kornet-D BMD-4M: low height gunner sight and poor launcher depression meaning more need to expose the chassis to engage a target. BMPT-72 could be in-game but I’d like to see early versions of the concept. And for air, hopefully MiG-25, because with this one will require new loadout and weaponry as well, meaning new content for air vehicles as a whole.
Alternatively this are my suggestions, dose of hopium:
Bmp2m.
I know theres the whole “armor” thing but no other top tier fast firing/atgm tank has armor, bmp2ms have probably better atgms than the terminator whilst also having a much more accurate gun, iirc the terminator fires AP from 1 cannon and HE from the other with extremely inaccurate cannons
i love how you say the bmp2m is powerful to be played at top tier but after you say the bmpt is useless and should not come weak atgm and inaccurate gun.
the bmpt need to come, a 10.3 no armor with no depresion is not as effective in top tier, but like as said ,be my guest
even if the bmpt come to the game, it will be a easy 11.3 with t72 hull variant, and 11.7 with t90 hull variant.
Just like naval, tanks do have a specific requirement to be added, as with the Object 640 was clear, and I have my doubts that it will ever be added soon.
BMP-2M isn’t top tier specially, can be used, up to the player’s decision, it’s not forced by the game. BMP-T isn’t a need but rather a want, regardless if the issues with the barrel exist, which is logical considering the whole structure surely will be a cool vehicle to have. Being limited to two different belts for each barrel is a self balancing aspect, I don’t remember reading if it’s a doctrine decision or technical limitation given that it’s not known if it’s possible to swap belt types, even in later versions which I also doubt, I wouldn’t mind having one barrel with anti-armor belt and other just to annoy the hell out of whatever the vehicle is shooting at.
the ap gun and he the other gun is army choise, same as we, player, do in the game. exemple: most the player carry only 10-14 round in a tanks, but the irl army is better to have more than 20 round, i am not a expert in irl tank but its for the longer mission, same as fuel tank in planes top tier, people rather have heavy plane with (exemple su34) 8 fox3 bad dogfight rather than lose 2 fox3 for fuel tank that you can dumb for better dogfight perf.
the kh38mt existed and there multiple variant, but the 640 only 1 existed and never shot ( i didnt say it, the ceo of war thunder himself said, go argue with a 20M$ persone who have be around since the creation of the game)
I’d like to see another set of high tier ground vehicles added for all nations but since we are talking about the Soviets I’d like to see particularly the Object 477A and Ka-52M
I would really want gaijin to add a tech tree and event black eagle tank. There’s two versions of the tank one with a 152mm gun and one with the regular 125mm gun and gaijin could make the 125mm gun version a tech tree vehicle while making the one with the larger gun an event vehicle
As much as I want the OBJ640, it’s out of the question. Honestly, I don’t have any other vehicles in mind that could be included (maybe OBJ195? pls gaijin). However, the BMPT is something I want, along with the T15 and the Boomerang, as well as the T80BVM OBR2023 and the T90M with arena. The T90M2 will only be available next year since we haven’t seen its final version yet. Other options include KA52M helicopters with Lmur, and Su35
I agree with the fact that Ground Russia shouldn’t be at the top of priority list at the moment, but in air - from 12.0 to 14.3 this tech tree is severely lacking. And there are plenty of options that could be added, and some don’t even require too much work.
For example for 12.0-12.3 aircraft Gaijin could simply give MiG-23MLD its historically accurate R-73s.
For 13.3-13.7 there are plenty of aircrafts that came close to mass production but were halted due to collapse of USSR - Su-27M, MiG-29M. Or even aircrafts that are in use right now - like MiG-29K. There are also options for 14.0 like Su-27SM3 or MiG-35 (if it comes with actual flight model -then it could easily be 14.3 having similar loadout with Golden Eagle)
All nations should have the same priority they had in air superiority in 2023. Since 2023, all nations have seen nothing new in ground vehicles, only SPAA. I really hope that December will be as big as air superiority was in 2023. Going more than two years without receiving new vehicles except aircraft is frustrating.
yeah i dont think we will see something good and big in the next update, maybe the aps abrams but i cant think of other thing to come at top tier ground than spaa. we are slowly walking in the few last remaining mbt to be added, that why we are seeing more ifv and tsfv.
one thing for sure is that we getting a lot of aesa in the next update (maybe 2) like the su30mkk got leaked.
the only way to make the ground battle more fun is to add new maps to the game and more open world maps where the A point is a village and not a house
Even though there might not be many MBTs, I think we have some quite interesting ones for each nation. Sub-trees could bring more too, but the USSR could still get an MBT. I’m really looking forward to it, especially the aircraft; I really want a Su-35. I agree, the maps need a lot of changes; they’re awful. Also, many things from the Cold War are missing.
Can you send me the leak of Su30MKK?
