I’m looking into putting the BMP-2MD into my swedish 8.7 lineup. Currently I’m running the Strv-104, T-55M, Ikv-91-105, Itpsv leopard, Pbv-302, and Saab-105. From just looking at it, I’ll most likely replace Itpsv Leo with it. But my question is, is it worth it?
leopard is too good to change it to bmp-2, better remove pbv-302
I guess my question is if the BMP-2MD is worth using in the first place. It seems like a fox/XM-800T playstyle but at 8.7 instead of 7.7/8.0
I think this is an unnecessary vehicle, it will play against well-armored Soviet tanks and does not have an ATGM, unlike the Soviet version
Compared to the FV721 and the XM-800T are completely different vehicles compared to the BMP-2, specially the BMP-2MD, in one hand you have a light scout vehicle, in other a infantry fighting vehicle. In no world you’ll be playing a BMP-2 the same way a FV721 do.
You can use it obviously, but considering what the Swedish battle rating 8.7 offers, it’s better as a last resort vehicle, sure the APDS-T is a good ammunition and the research experience itself in a BMP-2 isn’t terrible but, it has a slow gun handling. If you play in a defensive way, it’s a good vehicle, quickly disabling target’s module, flanking and destroying by the side since you don’t have any sort of anti-tank weapons.
