The BMPT/BMPT-72 have been recently “Nerfed” to 11.7, this has done absolutely nothing to fix the rampant problem of its domination at 10.7-11.7. With the May Sale there have been a LOT of premium russian players that are flooding the 10.7-11.7 BR bracket, these teams are usually: Russia vs Basically NATO, and really often Russia and Germany against Basically NATO.
“NATO” teams are getting steamrolled and spawnkilled in a few minutes, i see this every battle because im grinding italy and the US at these tiers. The little times us NATO teams manage to send them back are usually long matches where maps those russian premium light tanks aren’t the best.
The BMPT has not many reliable ways to one-shot kill before it sees you. i see inconsistencies on the LFP of the TT BMPT, where sometimes the shell just kills the 3 dudes in front and leaves you with a fully functional turret to take care of. The sides on central mass on the TT BMPT sometimes absorb your shot of just blows up the ammo but dosent disable things like the missiles. i’ve seen less of this on the Premium BMPT-72.
Some photos below.
LFP Abrams SEP V2 best sabot (tried multiple times, this is the result that i got for most of them)
Shot from the “view port” at the center of the tank, same shell (tried multiple times, this is the result that i got for most of them)
Possible future nerf (maybe its too harsh)
12.3 BR / AP Only belt / Nerfed Survivability
(P.S I know the weakspots and i know how to use my tank, i dont think this is a “skill issue” because when i have the chance i can one-shot these, and any russian premium)
