Server Update 16.01.2026

Money money money!

As always, btw most modules are still not properly done, i mean, the turred is for sure not emptly like it is ingame and u can even check the outer visuals that the internal components dosnt match. And also the ammo still magically teleports from the end of the belt into the barrel… there like a 40cm gap, making it so u dont destroy the ammo when shooting the barrel.

So if they announce external belts, but don’t implement them (as clearly seen), then it seems they’ve ‘fixed’ it

This footage clearly shows that its from before the update as the belts are not separated yet.

And if you actually tested it on the version where it was changed, then you’d notice that it does infact not destroy the vehicle.

Any chance to raise the attention of the devs towards this

Way to kill the mood dude /s

This is certainly an improvement but any specific reason as to why the “external” section wouldn’t detonate the internal one since they are touching?
these work-arounds are getting a bit ridiculous

I’d respect them more at this point if they would just come out and say it
Instead of just staying silent in hopes that people will move on

We all know the reasons, but the fact that they won’t say it is what annoys me more

Feel free to flag this again, not sure what hurt ya feelings but i’m fine with staff handling it

The lengths this company go to is making me insane. It’s obvious what they’re trying to do. Gaijin you were this close to balancing the BMPT somewhat. How many more patches do we need?

Oh well as it turns out, they didnt mention a few changes again…

And one of them is probably for a very good reason, since it’s once again just fabricated nonsense to artificially buff the vehicle!

They made the fuel-tank, with no armour or other separation from the crew-compartment external aswell on BMPT72 - which is just a complete joke, because even the description of the “exterior fuel-tank” quite literally says what is required for one to be considered as such. NONE of these requirements are met.

On BMPT there’s atleast armour around the fuel-tanks, on BMPT72 there is not.
No T-72 in the game has them labeled as exterior either, only T-90M differs but that one has spall-liners around them, which BMPT72 doesnt.

The frontal fuel-tanks are also labeled as external which is just completely absurd and the fuel-tank that was previously correctly labeled/considered as internal is now external, which is another artificial buff that they dont even dare to list in the changelog.

The same fuel-tank not too long ago

Like wtf even is this nonsense at this point?

Don’t worry, they’ll see this and swiftly add 6mm of RHA to it

Theres no armour around it on T-72 so it’d be fake asf to begin with but if they add it then…

Surely it will create spall then, right? right?

ah wait no its russian I forgot… cant have armour create spall then, would be a shame if we believed in the marketing lie called “physics” afterall.

even the fuel tanks next to the driver are without protection at the moment and are considered external :D

Yeah thats also just utter nonsense but at least they didnt make them external at random a month after release.
Like they’re really trying so incredibly hard to find any and all possible artificial buffs they can shove on it, its not even funny anymore

Not even enough to be useful either

Please explain what part of the ammo belt is external? It seems to be all inside and even the upper part is connected to the crew interior. Unlike the crewless PUMA turret, which completly separates the turret from the interior.

You can also look at the 3d ingame model, there is no plate, no separation between the turret and interior?!!? No one understands this reasing. Same with fuel tanks, which are inside, but are “external”.
