And yet only option for nation is Germany, there’s no UAE nation in game and USSR has no need for this as it has it’s own local counterparts of this.

This is nice, but was this upgrade actually done? I’m pretty sure the image used is a BMP-3 from some country in the middle east, as I did look into this like a year ago.

Where, from what I could find, Germany (let alone Diehl) did anything with said BMP 3s

Before this doesn’t end well and people start to twist our very clear Guidelines: as the modified vehicle is not owned or used by the UAE but made by German Company, the vehicle is automatically labled and listed under as german.

Yep. It was.
IWS completely rebuilt the hull and moved the turret into a rear mounted position. Even doing Amphibious capabiity tests because its mentioned that the turrets position was moved with that in mind.
Its amazing really.
The entire front section had to be modified and the new drive shafts would need shaft cutouts made not to mention different exhaust ports assuming they didnt just use the old ones at the rear. Probably cut out new ones since the rear is now reserved for infantry dismounts.
