The BMP-2MD currently sits at 8.7, just like the original BMP-2 in the Soviet tech tree. However, it lacks the missile launcher, which significantly reduces its firepower. Given this, it would make more sense for it to be moved down to 8.3.

Think the main reason they are the same BR is essentially that it gets thermals, which is rather strange if so

Its heavier then the BMP-2 and has worse armor than the BMP-2, its a worse BMP at the same BR.
BMP-2 on Russia has the D armor on the turret which was not exported which is why it has better armor, imo the 2MD is over BR’D
The Armor Difference in the turret means you can’t be killed by the turret with 12.7mm in the BMP-2 while the 2MD can

Yes, move it to battle rating 8.3 and the Pbv 501 to battle rating 6.3 just to make sure everything if fine.
501 to 6.3 what? Why
It shares the same issue you pointed in the BMP-2MD, lacks armor and the missile is absent.
At 6.7 it fights slow heavies that it lolpens with heat with a 6sec autoloader and is very fast. It is fine at 6.7 the 2MD, fights vehicles it often can’t hurt frontally where as the BMP 2 can because it has a missile.
These are two very different vehicles with very different abilities and opponents
BMP 1’s should all have the same armor on the turret btw so thats not really a problem.
The 2MD at its BR without a launcher needs to get to the sides of tank and because it has weak turret armor compared to its Soviet counterpart it cant do it safely.
Something I haven’t noticed, correct me if I’m wrong is the BMP-2MD has a adjustable suspension control, which is very cool and reasonable considering how tall it is.
Ima need to check that cause i have 300 matches in it and have no knowledge of this especially given ive read nearly every report from the upgraded program for the MD and have never heard of it having that.
It should have a new FCS and Slovakian 30mm alongside Barracuda Thermal netting. Ive never read it having anything else.
It does not have an adjustable suspension
