Why did it not have any sort of optic or sights for it's turret? Correct me if I'm wrong. The turret on BRDM-2 was the same as the ones found on BTR-60PB, which indeed had a sighting system for the guns.
But for the sake of argument, lets just say those militia mechanics did a poor job at maintaining the vehicle, and the optics just got rusted so badly it became unusable. So they took it out and expected the gunner to aim via tracer only.
Then shouldn't it at least get a zooming function? I mean, every mounted heavy machineguns in PR can be zoomed in, even for the ones that had no useable ironsights.
At the moment the BRDM-2 is very much in need of buff. Yes, I know it's an infereor vehicle cause it's very old. But as of now, there's pretty much no reason for it to even exist in the game. Few people use it for transport since there are so few seats in the vehicle, and the handling is so poor that it tips over all the time. The driver seat has some weird graphic issue that results in screen lag. And finally the turret is a ***** to aim, without even a zoom function that every other machineguns get. Heck, just about every firearms in the game short of pistols have somesort of zoom.
It's simply a rusty metal coffin on wheels in it's current state. Hell, I wouldn't even trust it to carry a corpes since it tips over so damn often.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. Kinda weird that weapon dealers are using WW2 weapons
