Why is the BMPT Terminator at 10.3 | Post number 2

30mm APDS and 4 of the best ATGMs at its BR on an unmanned turret. It has as much hull armor as the T-90M, and even more armor on the neck part. The turret itself has very few parts where you can hit to do any damage, destroying the missiles doesnt destroy the tank and destroying the ammo chutes, apart from being really hard, also doesnt destroy the thing. The roof armor is too thick to be able to overpressure it by hitting it with HE any smaller than 155mm at anywhere but the commander’s and gunner’s optics. To hit those optics with 155mm HE, you would 100% need to laze it. Problem is, the BMPT-72 also gets LWR, so lazing it with any of the vehicles that carry 155mm HE would lead the BMPT to just maul you alive. The tech tree BMPT also gets 30mm HE-TF, which, along with its IRST, allows it to also fairly easily destroy the aircraft at its BR. +There is also the fact that it can face 9.3 vehicles, which have basically no chances against it. There are definitely more gripes i forgot to mention on this, so i will resume with comparing it to another vehicle with an autocannon in an unmanned turret at its BR. Enter, the PUMA. Way less armor at any angle, larger profile, the turret is more susceptible to being disabled, hitting the turret with basically any HE will overpressure it, no missiles , worse anti-air capability than the tech tree BMPT. But at least the PUMA gets 40mm more pen, so thats definitely a good enough reason to put it at the same BR as both BMPTs (sarcasm).

Why was the first post deleted? I dont know. Why were so many other posts deleted? I dont know.
I dont know why they delete every BMPT Terminator post, but i have a clue.
Its because we arent allowed to criticize Gaijin on their balancing decisions. Especially when it comes to Russian vehicles.
They do not care about how balanced a vehicle is as long as it makes them huge amounts of money. Which is why they will close every single post criticizing it without explanation, even though every single War Thunder player understands how overpowered it is.
I will continue creating these posts every time they get closed without explanation.

We already have a thread on why the BMPT should not be at 10.3 That’s probably why.
Also add in bugged armor from behind, front, and side. Only reliable way is to shoot the LFP.

Post unfortunately going to be removed in 30 seconds

the post they are thinking of is probably a general “oh hey what do you think about the Termiantor” post that they count as a Terminator rebalancing post on a technicality
