do you mean that they are better because you have more ready to fire in side profile?
I’ve used side profile to shoot without having as much of my tank exposed.
It’s a playstyle preference more than anything.
Next major update you’ll be reloading ATGMs without needing to empty all of the launchers.
You have to at minimum expose the gun in order to guide the missile. Meanwhile, the main sight with the BMP is actually the 100mm (The 30mm is technically coaxial). This means that in every situation where you can guide an ATGM with the Type 89, you could also do so with the BMP. Except without having to worry about remembering which side launches first, or the spiral that results from the offset launcher, or the glacial launcher traverse, or having to come to a complete stop, etc.
I’m fairly certain that’s not what that means. Given the list also includes ATGM vehicles with single tubes (Wiesel, UDES, Sturm, CM25), it seems more likely that this will allow you to swap ammo types without first firing the loaded ATGM. Something which will be entirely useless for the Type 89, as there’s effectively no reason to load the HE ATGMs.
If it were the ability to reload partially emptied ATGM launchers, why would they selectively not include the M3 Bradley, M901, AFT-09, Freccia, MEPHISTO, 9040 BILL, or NAMERs?
Someone with the dev server downloaded can check.

If they mistranslated it, then fair enough.
Either way people saying that either BMP-3 or Type 89 is 0.3 BR or higher than the other in capabilities are just flat out wrong.
Type 89 gets similar missiles, similar mobility, and a bit better APDS rounds.
BMP-3 gets 4 more ATGMs.
Neither is superior to the other to the point of impacting BR, it’s largely preference.
This is wrong no matter how many times you say it.
- Can be fired on the move
- Nearly twice as fast, further decreasing reaction time
- Tandem warhead which ignores ERA
- Beam riding, meaning it’s immune to jamming
No-one in this thread has suggested moving the Type 89 down or the BMP up, they’ve only argued that at the BR, the BMP is generally superior to the Type 89.
Hell, most people, including the OP, agree that the Type 89 is actually decent at the moment, they just lament how much better it was in the past and/or how outclassed it is at it’s own BR by better options now.
Take your strawmans elsewehere.
