All the BMPs can fire their atgms almost instantly and while moving. Why don't you remove the ridiculous delay on the turret of the Bradley, it just gives every other ifv an unfair advantage over it. Doesn't even seem to be authentic tbh.

something something weak launcher something something breaks if in deployed mode on the move etc etc

It is related to python thou, you can't tell if a vehicle is moving or not unless you use a script to check the vehicle's position.

Bradley has to be stationary to fire his TOW missle IRL.

Yes, we get that but the delay can certainly be lowered right? I think right now it is way too much. You have time to deploy and shovel a TOW by the time it sets up.

That's not my point, nobody is going to fire an ATGM while on the move ingame anyway, since they wouldn't be able to hit their target if doing so. But like the previous poster said, the delay after going stationary to use the ATGM is way too long.

The TOW launcher has to unfold.

If you edge forward slowly it shouldn't reset the tow, so in theory you can move just very slowly.

This. You can position your Bradley behind hard cover and whilst the ATGM is active, slowly slowly drive forward (drive, stop, drive, stop).

If you playing on Kashan you can hide behand those building on west side of South Village. You are hire then house so you can fire over cover and enemy cant hit you. Its OP spot(I use it two or three times. Only CAS can kill you. I and my gunner/driver killed everything which true to move in village).
Thets how you using Bradley if you can find cover(you need to suprice enemy and fire),not stop when you see tank and wait for your ATGM on middle of map.

The TOW on the Bradley can only be fired whole stationary because it is wire guided.

Well, any TOW is wire guided hence the name Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided but the reason the Bradley can't fire its TOW on the move is because of a limitation in its launcher.
But since the launcher opens up as soon as you get in the Bradley in-game it would be long broken before you fire it so I think the implementation of this real life limitation is pointless, at least, with the current length.

Read the thread again

Bradley's can move with its tow launcher in a deployed position, although it may damage the launcher. The vehicle should not be moved above 15 mph or over long distances with the launcher engaged to prevent this. Although it is not recommended I have personally done it (m2a2 ods e crewmwmber for two years)both by accident (just simply forgot to bring it down before moving out) and intentionally for mission readiness of the tow.

Since there is no way to code deploying the launcher and factoring in the vulnerability of leaving the system up I would say just have it work like other ifv's, immediately operational while stationary.
