There is a field mod of the BMP-1 with a zu-23 cannon on it (not like the Greek BMP-1 with its cannon replaced by the AA gun) and I would like to see it in the game as a prem/squadron vehicle as I would like my country to be represented in the game (most likely in the Russian tech tree) and thought this would be a fitting vehicle
Very cool field mod, would be a nice addition for the arsenal, surely a dangerous vehicle with the 73 mm cannon grenades and the fire rate of the 23 mm auto cannon. I recommend you going after this vehicle’s story and with some efford, creating a suggestion post for it.
one question I would have is its battle rating. As the bmp-1 without its ATGM is 6.7 and with it is 8.0 I wonder if this would sit in between at 7.3 or above at say 8.3
Likely 7.0 considering the absent of any light tank at this BR in USSR tech tree. 7.3 is already owned by BTR-80A, and 7.7 is way too high for this.
By the way, on the subject, I found a photo of this BMP-1 with a 30-mm gun GSH-301.
That’s all I found about this BMP.
I did some digging and realized that two automatic pistols can be installed on it: 2A14 and 2A7.
That is very very useful man thanks a lot, from what I get the second “turret” with the AA guns is not moving separately and is attached to the turret with the main gun and thus its turret rotation speed would be the same
This one also looks very interesting will try to find something on it thanks
There are some vehicles with very good secondary weapons, doesn’t seem to affect their br placements.
I’m thinking about these two
Object 122-MT, it has four ATGMs, technically a direct upgrade to T-62 and they are in the same br which is 8.7
TURM III, only .3 br higher than the Leopard 1, I would think the STAB alone justified it and the 30mm autocannons seems like a overlooked extra firepower lol
