Nah, removal of the APFSDS makes it worse than every 10.0 IFV.
what specifics are you comparing it to
Speed, size, main gun, ATGMs count & characteristics, optics [Commander sight above the turret along with the missile launcher?].
Strf 9040 BILL, M3A3, and BMP-2M are all similar enough to be within 0.3 of each other at the furthest.
VCC-80/30 is a bit compressed with them tho.
On top of that, BMP-2M triggers laser warning systems whereas the others don’t.
And for now, while Black Night, Type 10, Type 99A, Ariete, Merkava Mk4 are the only top MBTs with LWSs, more will come.
It should be nearly impossible to die to a BMP-2M in a tank equipped with LWS.
I would take BMP-2M with APDS over M3A3 with APFSDS anyday, and not by any small amount. The BMP-2M is way better. I’d always place the BMP-2M at least 0.7br higher even with APDS.
Nah. BMP also lacks the optics depression that others have for superior missile control.
BMP-2M is overrated.
This is what I mean when I say you never agree with the “popular take” which makes you look like a simple contrarian btw. Nobody thinks BMP-2M is overrated because it’s insanely strong.
This is real simple Razer, the BMP-2M is one of the only IFVs in the game that can actually play aggressive because of its high speed, excellent autocannon, and the best ATGMs on any IFV in the game. IFVs like M3A3 are simply and straight up strictly campers that can only defend points, which CAN be useful but is far more niche.

No, I think it’s over-rated, cause they’ve been below mediocre AGAINST me since release.
I’ve never once thought it was anything special, this view was concluded after a month of facing them.
I’ve easily killed over double the amount that killed me.
From 8.7 to 11.0.
People can play them “aggressively” and I’ll hear them coming around the corner & shoot before they get their first 1 - 3 rounds off, let alone a missile.
Especially since other IFVs are just as fast, just different camera angles that make them “feel” slower.

The BMP-2M could probably go to at least 10.3 have 0 issues. The APFSDS rounds are good, it has a very high ROF, the ATGMS often overpressure, the ATGMS don’t face lots of ERA, but still have lots of pen.
Personally I don’t enjoy how it plays, but it should be higher than it currently is.

the squadron vehicle gotten by level 30s is played by bad players who do poorly? Strange!

Ok? Same with literally 100% of the tanks in the game? Why are you trying to act like I said “oh yeah bro it can push corners on MBTs already pre-aimed totally 100%”

don’t think so
Cause that’s the only experience I see aggressive players doing.
Light tanks in general are incorrectly played, especially including aggressive BMP-2M tankers.
They’re support equipment, and their BRs could raise if their support roles granted more rewards.
Imagine if a light tank got 3x more rewards for repairing than MBTs.
Both M3a3 and BMP-2m have exact same maneuverability in the datamine
M3a3
BMP-2M

This the problem with you and half the rest of the playerbase. You base your opinions off feelings and anecdotes instead of just comparing the vehicles directly.
Wrong.
I compare vehicles directly for my opinions on the vehicles themselves, as stated MANY times.
I NEVER use experience to form opinions on the vehicles themselves.
Experience is for player behavior concluding.
Wrong.
I compare vehicles directly for my opinions on the vehicles themselves, as stated MANY times.
So you don’t mind me going forward and marking down every single time you base your take on your anecdotes and feelings? Cause you’ve did it in this thread.
First off, you’re claiming all of science is anecdotes, so no.
And I’ve never brought up feelings.
You have a list of zero.
If you think I have ever done an anecdote, re-read the definition of anecdote until you realize I haven’t.
irst off, you’re claiming all of science is anecdotes, so no.
I’m claiming anecdotes are anecdotes actually. Such as:
“People can play them “aggressively” and I’ll hear them coming around the corner & shoot before they get their first 1 - 3 rounds off, let alone a missile.”
That’s not an anecdote, that is an illustration of player behavior & a tactic I use against said behavior.
Yes, it’s universal across all tanks, but light tanks are one shot regardless.
It is literally an anecdote of how you kill “aggressive” players and therefore this somehow makes me wrong.
This entire post is a giant anecdote.
