2S38s, BMP-3s and especially BMD-4s are undertiered and absolutely destroy and ruin and remove all the fun from any match in their range.
I don’t care how much hate this attracts and how this will be locked in less than an hour.
They are [medical references not allowed] and need to be bumped up.
Yes, I realize all the regulars who main RU and probably abuse the Hell out of these vehicles will show up in here. Again I don’t care.
They need to go up in BR. They are absolutely toxic and kill the enjoyment for anyone not them.

Typical match where there top 5 players all spawned a mix of D-4s, P-3s and 2S38s. Immediately penned in then spawn camped.
There is no enjoyment in this.
Playing favorites will hasten the end of this game. More people will stop playing certain BRs with certain nations then what game will you have? A Russia vs. Russia arena shooter?
EDIT: Let’s not forget BMP-2M
So yes they do take the fun out of quite literally everything, but, there are ways to counter them, if you see a 2s38 firing at a teammate and you can see his side, shoot the nose of the tank where the crew is. Easy kill.
Also they are light tanks…
But anyways, I do agree, I honestly hate going up against them especially in a Abram’s and they are penning my turret ring…
BMP-3 is mostly a support vehicle, it isn’t overperforming because Gaijin made it as the earliest variant which means worse fire control system overall, 2S38 have the same issues of the BMP-3 but with more capable weapon which is the reason for battle rating difference. If the BMP-3 had an actual missile autoload mechanism it would be the same battle rating as BMD-4M.

A screenshot of the leaderboad don’t proof anything, do you have the battle log or even replay? And not talking about whoever is in the other side of the wall. Even at battle rating 9.3 Germany seems to terribely underperform and isn’t because of the vehicles they have access, which are very good vehicles.

Guess what happened here in the very next match.
I’m not engaging at all. I know what’s going to happen to this thread.
The BMP-3 has the same reload speed as battleships - 2 shots per minute. Only the BMP-3 has a gun caliber 3 times smaller
The most annoying thing is that when they start shooting at you with their guns, you can’t answer them because you can’t see anything.
Historically reproduced mechanics
Or because the instant before your barrel comes on target they’ve killed your gunner. That’s what does me in the most. I can hit things just fine using nothing but their tracer origin; but my barrel never makes it to them if it wasn’t already looking at them because the gunner is dead immediately.
Also Gaijin, this absolute horesh-t thing you do where you constantly put me vs RU+GER when I play my US tanks, but NEVER put me with RU when I play my GER tanks is too obvious and too blatant.
[for people who are going to bring up German mains; yes German mains are braindead, but something bizarre happens when German tanks are paired with RU, it becomes a powerhouse]
There is some very obvious match control going on. I play US; 90% of games are against a Germany and Russia team
I play Germany; 90% of matches are against Russia.
That’s a little f-cking weird Gaijin.

the bmp-3 of all things being called op always makes me laugh

So because Soviets have average equipment the game will die?
People play the 2S38 because people claimed it’s OP and when they get it they realize it’s as good for its BR as HSTVL, Begleit, etc.
When 2S38 first came out I used them as a way to stock grind my Abrams and Leopards cause they were easy frags.
BMP-2M and BMP-3 are chronically non-meta as are all IFVs [yes, all].
People will flock to what they think is OP even if it’s not.
Skilled players will as well, and then stats end up proving that most things claimed to be OP aren’t OP, and the actual OP stuff is rarely played such as P51H5, Jadgpanzer IV, F-18A, and so forth.
Though F-18C non-AMRAAM is finally something that’s OP that is being constantly used while the F-14B sits 0.3 BRs above it.
I get your feelings, Rikers. I understand them, I accept them.
The answer is the opposing team played the match better than your team; an answer that is not always appreciated.
And if that answer upsets you, I apologize for that is not my intent.
You are upset that your team lost, and you’re trying to find reasons why.
I have to process loss streaks dozens long at times, and at the end of the day the enemy team played better than us even if I faced a Jadgpanzer IV squad.

Stop talking to yourself.
I’m sorry, perhaps you can explain to me where my skill determines how matchmaker makes a team?
Do you not understand the post you replied to?
