Why is the BMP in 7.3?

[DakkaHead]

Given the BR goes 1 point Up and (usually) down my American 6.7 games are always suffering to that ATGM.

The bmp is one vehicle in rb that gives me chills.
I spawned into 1 rb battle and instantly 4 friendly tanks went down to a bmp. Then the rest folded to a lorraine 40t? im max br 6.7.

[DakkaHead]

Im not one to be butthurt over historical accuracy(its WT after all) but why is it the lowest tiered ATGM? I mean, the BMP2 is 7.7, which i could accept...if ALL the ATGMs started at that level...

[DakkaHead]

Hell, the All the other countries ATGMs (excluding the British special edition) Start at 8.3 at least...

Because Gaijin thought it would be a brilliant idea to combine the BMP-1 and the BMP-1P as one tank, even though they are not the same tank.

Technically the lowest ATGM is the STRV 81 at 6.7, then the Type-70 ATM at 7.0, then the BMP-1 at 7.3

STRV is 6.7
AMX-13 SS11 is 6.7
Type60 is 7.0

BMP can be erased with .50cals or any shot to the turret (with 3 crew you're done pretty quick).

[kamikazi21358]

Except for the BMP-1 could actually be 7.0.

The BMP-1P is the issue, which could be 7.7 or so.

I just hope they will eventually decombine them, and hopefully they will not do the same thing for the BMD-1/1P.

Bmp1 needs to be moved to 8.0 if it keeps the 1P upgrade along with BMP 2, And the Bagel/M551/m60A2 need to be moved down to 8.0

historically speaking the BMP was designed to fight pershings so.

Pershings left service ~1953
BMP Concept to prototypes start in ~1963-1966

So the BMP was designed to fight a tank that was out of service for 10 years?

he probably means pattons, but even then actually describing an IFV as being 'designed' to fight tanks is falacious, it was designed to be able to defend itself from them

the future abrams and leo2a4 noobs are gonna cry here now?

The BMP-1 though wasn’t really made to fight any tank to be fair, it’s an APC.

But your American 1945-1953 Tank is fighting a 1966 tank?

Welcome to the party, pal!

Many things suffer against many other things There is also many uptiers to 7.7 in 6.7 tanks. There is also many bugs. There are also many 50cals in U.S. tank. There is also much trolly armour.
