[Vehicle] BMP-3 updates

[sheggalism]

The most badass IFV of all time at last in PR ! Thanks !

30mm Auto-cannon AP & HE-I (maximum RoF 550rpm!)

Does this monster overheat fast ?

[Threedroogs]

holy jesus that thing is fast!

On about those asking if it is the *main* APC for MEC ; Factions (like IRL) are not restricted to have only one type of *main* APC. So seeing MEC having imported BTRs (60-80 or 90) and BMP-3s is fine for me.

I suppose there are chances of seeing a large combined ops map with Russian Forces that would have BTR-90's, and BMP-3's in the future (0.9?). Even tho Russian doctrine is to send the older stuff first... For simulations sake?

You won't find BTR-90s outside of Russia, they're not made for export. Hence their removal from the MEC.

Holy ****, that's a very nice update. I love the BMP today, Im gonna worship it tomorrow.

****, ok! So no more BTR90 in PR for now, unless a few have made it in Fools road? eh. That means Jabal al Burj will be fit with either BMPs or older BTR exports..
Sorry, didn't know about 90 not being exported.

[Masaq]

Lol, np. In time, the BTR-80 should be plenty man enough for the job to help the BMP-3 out

Oxymoron right there?
If they're made for export, then you ought to be able to find them outside of Russia?

I'm confused.

Typo?

Anyways, the BMP-3 seems a tad bit overpowered, but I believe that can be balanced out by removing the number of MEC tanks, etc.

@WIKIPEDIA:

Currently, the BTR-90 is in service only with the Russian military. A small number of vehicles are used by troops under the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. The vehicle is available for export. However, no foreign militaries have purchased it, and the Russian military has not yet shown interest in replacing its existing BTR APCs with the new BTR-90. Although Serbia's military has shown interest in obtaining 200 BTR-90's.

Don't you even dare...

It still goes down from AT and Sabot, it just packs more firepower now, no need to remove anything...

[SuperTimo]

well said outlawz.

Of course, why would they? They've got BTR-80A's for christ sake...

[Kirq]

Sweet !

[Cptkanito]

Love it...

[McBumLuv]

This is such an awesome update I'm glad that they've got that speed boost (or so it seems), making it a more efficient transport. And nobody should say it's overpowered, because unless they've decreased the time delay between switching rounds, it won't actually be able to fire the 30mm and AT10/100mm Frag/whatever at the same time.

[DesmoLocke]

Now I want to know what maps this beast is going to be on besides Kashan.

Yes. I'm curious as to what other maps we will see this thing rumble on! Will it replace the BTR-90 on my beloved Muttrah City?

*kind of off topic* Will the U.S. LAV get any changes? Right now it seems kind of nerfed according to some resources. ( I know I shouldn't use Wikipedia as a resource but...) LAV-25 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The LAV-AT with the TOW would certainly add a new dynamic to 1-2 maps!

The Bradley does fill the role with the TOW, and there are far fewer LAV-ATs than normal LAV-25s. Sources: Light Armored Vehicle-Anti-Tank (LAV-AT) and LAV-25 Light Armored Vehicle - History, Specifications and Picture - Military Tanks, Vehicles, and Artillery


From the first, # of LAV-ATs

Marine Corps Inventory: 95
Unit Replacement Cost: $1,252,000

Compared to the number of LAV-25s in the 1980s:

This left the US Marine Corps alone in ordering no fewer than 758 units for delivery slated between 1983 and 1987. After production had completed, the LAV-25 was subsequently added to the inventory of the Canadian Armed Forces in 1993 to which 203 were produced as the LAV-25 "Coyote" in the primary form of a battlefield reconnaissance vehicle.

Amazing !
love the new sky too , looks alot better and more realistic than the one we had before !

good job guys ..

[sakils2]

Nobody answered my question. So, here it goes again.

I just saw a video. As you can see, the small cannon shoots 30 mm. In this video the big cannon shoots 100 mm. My question is. Will there be any delay between switching from 100 mm/AT10 and 30 AP/30 HE?

[sakils2]

STUPID edit.

Will there be any delay between switching from 100 mm/AT10 to 30 AP/30 HE?
