What If Gajin gave the BMPT-72/BMPT their APFSDS 30mm like their IRL counterparts?

What if Gajin gave the BMPT & BMPT-72 the 3UBR11 APFSDS 30mm dart round for the BMPTs as the APDS round in top tier after the BMPTs were moved up to 11.7 after they used to be at 10.3 where the dual 2A42/2A72 cannons with APDS shells used to dominated compared to now at 11.7 where they struggle to penetrate even the side hull of the M1A1. Now it may or may not become OP or not depending on how Gajin sets the penetrating power of the IRL 3UBR11, but it would be nice to see in the game as Russia do uses them in the IRL BMPTs. 🤷‍♂️

When the armor of this garbage becomes realistic, we can talk about it. Now it just eats 60-70% of shells without any real damage, while other AFVs pretty much die from a cough.

iirc, the BMPT doesnt have APFSDS IRL.

But then it can go up to 12.7 if it did

wym it doesn’t have APFSDS IRL it does you can even search it up?

I even checked myself

As far as I am aware, it hasnt.

True but if the vehicle has access to an APFSDS 30mm shell for its cannon I believe the bmpt-72 and bmpt should get it no?

if it goes up in br maybe. As is at 11.7 its a pretty shit vehicle

Too bad the manufacturer of the vehicle doesnt list it in a singular brochure.

BMPT has never been specified with APFSDS. Only AP and APDS.
Even the use of 3UBR8 APDS in service is rare, 3UBR6 is the most common old- and 3UBR10 is its intended service-round (also AP-T but newer version that entered full-scale production in 2024)

Spoiler: Excerpts from OEM brochures for both vehicles as reference for the above

APFSDS would be “БОПС” btw

BMPT-72:

BMPT:


(as above but EN version)

ugh it’s a bummer but it would be nice to see it have an APFSDS round in game in the future though 🤷‍♂️

interesting, but yeah if it does have a APFSDS round that we don’t know about irl and it gets discovered then it would be nice to see it be added into the game in the future 🤷‍♂️

Rather than buffing the BMPT
Let’s fix the obnoxiously stupid “external” ammo belt first

Yeah, shredded the ammo on a BMPT with the ajax the other day, looked like a big explosion, it just turned around and fired back at me. clearly I had only taken out one of the belts, but it had done next to no damage bar blocking that one gun.

Say that to the premium pack m60 aos that actually used m900a1 during its service but didnt get it in the game.

I find it hilarious compared to the Abrams blowout pallal response, really highlights the selective realism they love oh so much.

Leave it as it is and let them add the T-15 or Kurganets-25 as a higher Br alternative with more potent ammo choices.
