it makes both player and enemy disgust. mostly the reverse speed’s fault

Because it is still a great backup, has good armour optics and fire power.
Same reason in the British lineups people play the 3TD as a backup despite being pretty poor.
On the small maps we have reverse speed isn’t as critical as it once was. Would it be nice to have better reverse speed of course
Yeah he has always had special takes.
Funniest thing from him so far is that he complains about the M1A2 SEPv2 mobility not being good, but then the very next post he refuses to take off TUSK II because, and I quote “It’s the only thing that makes the SEPv2 unique from the other Abrams tanks”.
My handicapped arm also makes me unique from a lot of people, doesn’t mean that it’s a good thing or that I should want it if I had the option to fix it.

lol thats great, the Challenger 2 TES and 2F are unique from the base challenger 2 because all of the armour im not gonna complain about the mobility I know what I signed up for (also they look way cooler then most MBTs so i dont care if its just as heavy as a king tiger )

I think still important, unless your game brain is so talented that can always have the whole battle field situation in mind. for most players, “go out, shoot, and get back” is the basic play style, and “get damaged, reverse, repair” too
mfw stealth isnt that big of a factor at top tier so EFTs and Rafales continue to clown on the 5th gens due to their sacrifices of energy and agility for stealth

As I said it’s a backup you don’t start with it but it’s a nice backup to have.

I wouldnt want to call that a skill issue but I’m pretty sure thats where the problem lies. People are overwhelmed by the new vehicle and are yet to learn the ways to kill it. Add to the fact how community (CCs included) constantly drives itself on the problem without trying to understand it and here we are.
I’ve played both with BMPTs and against BMPTs, at 10.7 and at top tier and from this wider pov I can say that its not as one sided as some people make it out to be.

They’d probably suck because of what they carry, most 5th gens, apart from the obvious, carry Aim-120’s which are currently dogwater, so yeah, a Rafale in a meta like the current one would still dunk on a 5th gen that gets modeled pretty badly.
I somewhat expect some meaningful gameplay changes before the arrival of 5th gens, otherwise they’d be mediocre at best.
come back for German TT.
what to do to make it next meta?
I guess at least a AH-64E level Heli, with heavy warhead missiles and LDIRCM. MBT line up is still fine I think so not so need to change. A good light tank is welcomed, and a back up MBT like L2A6EX, but not so necessary.
SPAA is fine enough for now, so as EFT with SPICE 250.
so this is the minim requirement to make German next meta.
maybe, but like I said, it draws too many experienced players to it.
and in 10.3, it can meet many light tanks fragile to autocannon and MBTs with only DM23/M735 that simply can’t pen it, BMPT is their natural enemy.
we shall see in 10.7, and the popularity faded, what will end up with.
Except it is one-sided. Just another OP vehicle in the most powerful line-up in the game.
The only things I’ve seen that could be reliable are high pen autocannons(and in other nations, those are few and far between), stuff that are forgiving when the first shot fails do to volume of fire. MBTs don’t have that luxury, so they fail a lot, so once they open fire, half your crew is gone, and everything is disabled, and that’s before the missiles.
Russia currently dominates the top-tier. It has the best tanks, the best infantry fighting vehicles, the best helicopters, the best SAM-15s, and the best CAS and SPAA.
AGM-179s don’t hit targets and don’t cause damage. Meanwhile, LMURs are guaranteed kills because they fly precisely into cover and carry a larger warhead.
So it’s not enough for you that Soviet tanks have better protection against APFSDS shells, but you also want better mobility? So that other tanks don’t have a chance at all?
However, Russia has a helicopter that can only shoot down the Pantsir or Buk; the Mi-28MN is simply out of reach of all other SAM systems. Meanwhile, the AH-64E faces combat with the BUKM3 and Pantsir.
Have you played it yourself?
The T-90M is worse in every meaningful way besides armor than the Abrams.
Which is why the Abrams is generally considered the better tank in game by pretty much anyone with a bit of skill and at least 5 braincells that are co-operating.
However since you claim that Russia is dominating, can you please ask the players on this team to stop doing so, because I totally felt very dominated by Russia in this game. I mean look at all these indestructable Russian MBTs in that team:

for light tanks.
that’s simply not real. they shares almost same seeker and guidance. 179’s warhead is enough to get a kill in most time, and they all uses IOG or GNSS to assist the lock, only BA-11’s IOG is nerfed to non existing, but I still take it a good missile for its fast locking ability. as for damage. the only thing can stop 179’s warhead is L2A6/7’s turret front armor, but it’s a small chance you will hit there for twice or more.
Gaijin ready OBT Infantry for all players in the second or third major update 2026 ?
It draws experienced players to it like any other highly anticipated and/or unique vehicles would. Its new so obviously people are going to play it a lot.
DM23/M735 is more than enough it kill it the same way as any other T-series around this BR. Both early T-72Bs or T-90A cant be penetrated to the UFP by Leopard 2A4 or legacy M1. What suddenly changed about BMPT that runs on the same hull? Yeah I guess it gets Relict on the sides making it trolly with some specific shots at around 90* but if you aim it right you get proper results.

for side, it’s the Relict, and the time you aim, is BMPT’s advantage. and for these low pen APFSDS, even pened, the spall will face the spall liner, will possibly do few damage.
and mostly targeted LPF is buffed with extra armor, makes DM23/M735 hard to pen.
so it’s easy for things like L2A4 to deal it, but not lower rank tanks especially 9.3 things

Hitting the front wheel is always better than LFP on any T-series and as for side shots try aiming a bit higher on the hull to slide the shot under the turret or even at the turret (if its sideways to you).
