The BMP

Flanker15 · Post by **Flanker15** » 2007-05-28 05:16

Was just wondering if there was any plans to drop the BMP from SF into PR somewhere since it was quite nice. Maybe the militia or insurgents could have it? I was going to say the same thing about the HindD from SF but it's probably already been suggested.
Also in the Suggested Ideas sticky, what is a "spider tank"? It better not be what I think it is.

BMP-3 - are you kidding ? Give modern ( one of the best btw ) IFV for militia & insurgents ? The only IFV that insrg\militia may recieve is BMP-1 .

Was it a BMP-3? I can't remember but yeah that's too modern for insurgents/militia but it's still a nice model just waiting to be used.

This is gonna get locked. Im sure this had been brought up before.

It's not in the already suggested sticky and BMP won't register in a search so I don't know, maybe?

Reskin it and give it to the MEC

And make sure we can fast rope out of it.

Yeah, that Spider tank was hilarious, just youtube it!

BMPs have been suggested before (Thanks LongBow), but are you suggesting to change the current BMP to a modern one?

A modified BMP from SF was on Operation Greasy Mullet, maybe it will return in a later release somehow.

It was suggested before by me

I'm almost positive that the BMP in SF was a BMP1 not a BMP3 because the 3 has a smoothbore cannon, an autocannon, and coaxle MG. The one in SF obviously does not have an autocannon so I wouldn't call it a stretch to give the insurgents/militia/MEC such an outdated piece of equipment.

The BF2: SF manual says its a BMP3.

But its damn poorly implimented one.

BetterDeadThanRed · Post by **BetterDeadThanRed** » 2007-05-28 23:52

Well... then EA farked up again.
BMP-3

BMP-1

Looks more like the latter to me.

That's the BMP-3 from Battlefield 2 Special Forces...

I'd love to see the MEC get a properly implimented BMP3 (with smoothbore [with ATGMs], 30mm autocannon and PKT) if only I didnt know that there would be cries of "imba!" from a vocal minority within the PR community.

Me too, I would also like to have the BMP-2 or BMP-3 replace the BTR-90 for the MEC, as the BTR-90 is very unrealistic. Only limited amounts have been produced for the Russian (possibly Ukriane as well) Army only, unlike the BMP-2 which there are numerous amounts in the Middle East (there are BMP-3s as well, but they are mostly in the UAE).

Well, the lack of AT missiles is easier to explain on the BTR-90...

It would be nice to see some actual IFVs in PR, as that part of modern warfare is somewhat underrepresented at the moment (Warrior is practically the only one). However, it seems to me like even if BMP were to be implemented, it would be stripped of its missiles, and would serve in a role similar to that of current APCs. I guess I just want some Bradleys, riding out with M1A1s in recon role, scouting ahead and engaging targets with their TOWs.

BetterDeadThanRed · Post by **BetterDeadThanRed** » 2007-05-29 00:51

I agree with you daranz, there is no distinction between APC and IFV, although I believe that there is room enough in this mod for both. The US Army definatly needs bradley fighting vehicals when it is introduced and the BMP-2/3 to go along with it as its counter balance.

I'll have to check globalsecurity.org to see if there are any tracked chinese IFVs.

Post by **GeZe** » 2007-05-29 01:04

I think that the BMP-2 without ATGM would be the best option, as the BMP-3s cannon would be to unbalancing and there is the fact there are many more BMP-2s in the Middle East then there are BMP-3s.

Also, you asked for a Chinese IFV: http://www.sinodefence.com/army/armour/zlc2000.asp
