[@nikolasfoulger1127]

I think something that would help with diminishing the BVMs virtual invincibility, is make those ERA bags on the sides be able to be removed by simple machine gun fire, since they are mounted by leather straps. What they could do to make it not too easy to detach would be to give it a sort of HP, where the smaller the caliber, the more you have to shoot it to remove the bags. So it might take a bit for 7.62 to do it, but it's possible

[@milkman4137]

The T72B (1989) has the same composite armor as this thing but at 10.0, so I assume its armor is very effective.

Technically the tank you are playing is a T-72B3M not a T-72B3 as it has those 4S24(Not relikt ERA) ERA blocks on the turret side and on the side skirt with the half kontakt-5 era block on the left turret cheek

[@gepard-7854]

On the topic of the Mi28N in the vid. People don't really bring it out cause it just sits at a non existent BR bracket. Russia like all nations save for Japan have no 11.0 ground ground now, the 11.3 lineup is good but there's not much of a reason to do 11.3 when you can go 11.7 and bring out the KA52 and Mi28NM. And there's no reason to bring the Mi28N as a top vehicle in your lineup since the 10.7 Russia actually has a lineup now and the Mi35 is there with the same loadout. Chopper's good, but it's just kinda there. Also KA50's at the same br as it, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@finne880]

What are your thoughts on the T-80U in today’s war thunder, Does it still hold up? Because it’s still my favourite tank to use

[@hdehilter9016]

Justin you should try the Strv 122 PLSS, after the BR Changes of those last months it's just better than never, it bounces like a T-80BVM or even more, it moves better and in hull down it's even better. Just a Leopard 2A6 with worse Ammo but the Armor of a T-80BVM or even better, those 100mm be acting like ERA hahahaha

[@ishiddddd4783]

it's outright better but people are still traumatized by the BVM spam, it's armor doesn't lose effectiveness after one hit, and has the best KE protection from all game in hull 770mm and turret, while 50% of the bvm turret can be penned by sub 550mm KE rounds, the pros of the 122 are much better than just DM53 on the 2a6, especially when after the 550mm of pen mark it becomes pretty redundant, while m/95 also has better post pen than DM53

It basically is era. It has non modeled in X-ray composite panels on the front hull.

[@ronaldmcreagann6343]

Is there any real world reason that BVM are so hard to kill? Like some kind of special lining or ammo system that makes it doesn't spoll and ammo rack as much as most other MBT?

@@garmfield2977 "you are choosing to ignore nato vehicles having the same issues as the bvm (fuel tanks eating shrapnel, ammunition not detonating" That isn't the only issue, Russian tanks eat shrapnel in both their fuel tanks and ammo carousel i.e. the ammo carousel on Russian tanks completely negates shrapnel which is another reason why they are so hard to kill (plus their ERA seems to just magic rounds into nothing), Justin is literally saved by this at 4:58, the round entered from the left but only killed the crew member on the right side of the tank and the crew member on the left side was completely unharmed because the shrapnel did not pass through the ammo carousel, Justin is then "saved" again by this in the same game at 7:28 as a round enters the tank and somehow does absolutely nothing (which is funny because Justin thinks the M1A1 AIM player screwed up when in fact he just got Gaijined because his round did basically nothing), then at 11:02 the fuel tank eats both the shrapnel and an APFSDS. So sure while NATO tanks have some similar issues, these issues by far seem to benefit Russia the most.

Yeah, no surprise the Pchela video didn't do well - I think most average players of War Thunder care very little about these novel additions Gaijin adds to the game, even if we all know they are testing mechanics for later applications, and even if there are objectives involved in doing it. I barely touched the last sci-fi addition, and I have zero desire to touch this one. I actually think the community resents Gaijin putting objectives on their side additions. I know I, for one, loved the old Battle Passes but as soon as they added specific naval (and air) objectives I stopped working on it.

[@giggsy__]

Whenever Russians get killed by Germans, they complain about German bias. And no, I'm not a German main. I have five nations I've gotten to top tier ground with but my preferred vehicles are the Leclercs. Whenever people complain about top tier Russians getting 6 or whatever it is now MBTs, a billion helicopters, and SPAA that is miles better than all others in the game (all of the aforementioned items being undertiered or blatantly historically inaccurate), we are told we have a skill issue and it's "balancing".
