Only 11.7 for BMPTs? They need to be at 12.7 with proper ammo-belt detonation

If only the ammo belt detonation on the BMPT was fixed…

It will be fine. It’s going to be pushed up into the huge number of 12.7 BR battles now. It will stop getting all those downtiers into 10.3 BR.

There are very few 12.3 BR tanks. But HORDES of 12.7’s. It is going to get mostly uptiers now.

Sure, but even my 11.7 tanks do not have an issue taking it out. 12.7’s are going to shred it.

I went over the numbers detailing how big the change is from 11.3 to 11.7, because of the uptiers it can now see:

Most significant details from my post above:

Double the number of 12.7’s vs 12.3’s:

Number of 12.3 BR ground vehicles AB and RB rating = 14:

Number of 12.7 BR ground vehicles AB and RB rating = 35:

More than double the number of 12.7 ground vehicles versus 12.3, in GAB and GRB.

And the same big difference in the BR’s of planes in GRB.

Number of planes in 12.3 GRB:

Number of planes in 12.7 GRB:

Double again. The effect will probably be more pronounced in GRB versus GAB because of the CAS BR’s.

Some more words:

There are fully double the number of vehicles at 12.7 versus 12.3, AB and RB. And there are 12.7 Helis in GRB too, but 0 at 12.3.

It is a big change guys. Give it a week or two. Go see for yourself. Post about your experiences afterwards.

some of those Zeros where barley positive in average K/D BEFORE the up tier, Gaijin is just on a quest to render Japan unplayable at this point.

Fw 190 A-8 at 5.3 makes no sense.
The D-9 should be a huge improvement over the A models, yet now it’s at a lower BR?

How does that make sense??

Spoiler




Are you really telling me that the A-8 went up in BR because it’s so bad that less than 10% of as many players as either D-9, Bf 109 F-4 and K-4 even play it?
And that the only reason it’s BR increased is the few players that are good enough to at least kill one better performing plane in a head-on give it a better K/D ratio than new players struggling to get kills?

If so how is the Yak-3(e) not at the same BR as the Yak-3???
I don’t even need to look up the stats to know it’s better performing at a lower BR and getting played on average by better players.

Put the A-8 at 4.3 and see how magically it’s average performance drops when it’s played by more players who think it’s going to be competitive, instead when players avoid a vehicle apart from players who know they can make it work somehow.

Looking at vehicle stats without looking at the stats of players makes no sense.

Good playes in bad planes vs. bad playes in good planes is not a metric for game balance, because then nothing ever changes.

still dont fix F16CM bug

I believe that the only reason for A-8 nerf is the existence of NC.900 which recently was in SL boxes(new year ones iirc).

Read my expanded reply brother lol: Update 2.55.1.84 - #5 by SilentTracker

I never claimed that it was ok. I have it, I spaded it, I have a stupidly high K/D in it. And I was playing badly, intentionally.

But I’m also going to look at the change logically and rationally. And i do think it’s going to actually make a difference this time.

Again, the biggest issue isn’t how well it will do at a higher BR. The main issue was how many downtiers it got and how often it bullied 10.3 vehicles. Now it will get uptuers much more often because of how many more 12.7 vehicles there are, ground and CAS, versus 12.3’s.

Another BR update complete ignore the hell compression between 5.0 to 8.0. Is pathetic how the game is abandoned. This plus the full trash BP and the vomitive russian propoganda en top tier made me stop playing this game completely.

BR change for BMPT is useless. The main thing is to remove the fictional blowout panel. The ammo gets shot, the vehicle explode, then it can be 10.7-11.0
