Thats the thing, you don’t just counter Russian MBT’s when you’re fighting against Russia.
You counter both T-Series and BMPT’s which makes it pretty hard to deal with both of them at the same time, smart Russian players let BMPT’s to push to enemy and cripple them while coming in clutch, clean the rest of enemies while holding their ground.
The sole reason why BMPT is such a problematic its because it can waste your time, cripple you and making you expose to T-series rather easily.
Also BMPT’s BS damage model makes it even worse in this case.
This BS thing has the same survivability from the time when Gaijin added spall liners to MBT’s, having internal ammo belts that doesnt detonate 90% of the time also increase its survivability a lot.
Yup, they realized its such an effective method to deal with NATO tanks.
Its a decent tactic if you can find a proper hulldown cover, on city/CQC maps tho it can be problematic.
Because they expect you take off the most BS thing first instead of focusing on them, I picked up the same tactic and it works quite well most of the time.
One thing I’ve noticed about the BMPT is how quickly they shoot out your barrel/breach. Many times you can’t even shoot out it’s ammo or lfp or anything before your barrel is gone. Even if it’s not fully gone the breach is yellow and it misfires due to damage. Seems like any other ifv struggles with cannons, like the Puma, slow fire rate, but apfsds, so I imagine it would do more damage than apds or am I wrong here?
Thats my issue with the BMP-Ts they just cripple your gun, tracks and then you are 35 second repair while a T-80UE is licking it’s lips. Pantsir is also a massive problem those 30mm APIT rounds shred barrels but at least it dies when you shoot it.
so game get update after update but the mi28 with lmur missile ena d dircm is not balanced!!! but is not problem because is russian or what? but other nations get to “good” vehicle afther 2 weeks is nerfed…clearly 80% players 0lay russia because is bad and balanced… with parls 3 5 missile needed to destroy the bmpt… i fired all missile to have a guaranted kill…
I came back from a pretty long break and was unpleasantly surprised by the hilarity that is 10.3+ these days. Playing against Russia now is basically just fighting a horde of BMPT’s with their daily backup, and the usual Pantsir and now the “improved” Pantsir that eats MBT’s for breakfast while blowing everything out of the sky.
If you’re lucky and playing against Russia you may win if too many of them do the “hit W point click shoot” bit, but the second one or two of them engage a braincell or two, forget it. You’ll lose all your caps, and get spawncamped in under 10 minutes.
It’s odd how this “poor Hungarian company” has propped up Russia since the Ukraine shenanigans started. Almost like there’s some sort of image to retain.

Meanwhile my Japanese, German, and American lineups eating Soviet tanks.
Soviet tanks have flung turrets more in War Thunder witnessed by singular individuals than total IRL.
