Kurganets-25
The vehicle meant to replace the Soviet era BMPs
Description
The Kurganets-25 is a Russian infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) designed to replace the aging BMP-2 and BMP-3 vehicles in the Russian Army. It is based on the Armata Universal Combat Platform, similar to the T-14 Armata tank and T-15 Armata heavy IFV. The Kurganets-25 features a modular design that allows for various configurations, including troop carrier, command vehicle, reconnaissance, and fire support roles.
Its primary armament typically consists of a 30mm autocannon coupled with a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun. Additionally, it can be equipped with anti-tank guided missiles for engaging armored targets at longer ranges. The vehicle provides enhanced protection through advanced composite armor, active protection systems, and the ability to operate in nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) environments.
The Kurganets-25 is designed to accommodate a crew of three and up to eight fully equipped infantry soldiers. It incorporates advanced technologies for battlefield awareness, communication, and survivability, making it a versatile and potent asset on the modern battlefield.
T-15 Armata
Truly a HIFV (Heavy Infantry Fighting Vehicle)
Description
As of my last update in January 2022, there isn’t a widely recognized variant of the T-15 Armata equipped with a 57mm cannon. The standard armament for the T-15 Armata is a remotely controlled turret with a 30mm autocannon. However, it’s possible that developments or modifications have occurred since then. If there’s a newer variant with a 57mm cannon, it would likely provide increased firepower and versatility, potentially enhancing its capabilities against various threats on the battlefield. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it’s recommended to consult recent sources or official announcements from relevant defense agencies or manufacturers.

IFV Wishlist?
Mine is no vehicle in particular - but rather it is punting every last one of them up by 1.0 BR or more. I think they are very much a plague in the 7.0-9.0 bracket, making life unnecessarily difficult for the last hurrah of heavy armor before it is phased out completely. Your round more often than not overpens and fails to deal enough damage, after which they track & barrel torture you.
I fail to comprehend how anyone can even begin to think putting a machine with both a decent gun and missiles at the same BR as, if not lower than, a machine with just missiles and not even a machine gun.
For example - damn near anyone can agree that the BMP-1 is miles better than the M113A1 TOW Box. Yet the BMP-1, with far more flexibility than the TOWBox, is lower BR.
The same can be said regarding the Swingfire, Striker, IT-1, Shturm-S, Raketenjagdpanzers, Mephisto, Pvrbv 551, and others. An IFV with similar missiles and a gun (be it an autocannon or a more typical tank cannon) is simply much more useful in most situations, even if said IFV has a smaller number of missiles than the dedicated missile carrier.
Yes and no… the TOW is infinitely more useful in the long range maps, especially since you get more than 4 of them. Raketen 2 HOT is much much better than a Marder in a long range map.
IT-1 can fire oncthe move and has a stabilized sight, but it’s the outlier.
IFVs pretty much only win in the braindead CQC maps like Sweden.
This wasn’t always the case. Before the TOW nerf, I would have easily taken the M113 TOW over a BMP-1 any day. Of course, even back then - people were uneducated and idiotic as usual so they don’t really comprehend how the TOW launcher is meant to be played.
Today, after the various missile tracking nerfs - the M113 TOW is utterly useless. But the high BR has stayed because Gaijin is extremely slow to respond to their own changes. BR changes come very slowly and it can take years for a vehicle to be put at a BR it deserves, sometimes never.
And increasingly that is all we have these days. I just see them as able to do far more in general than the TOWBoxes or similar machines. They’re in many cases more mobile than ATGM specialists, can track & barrel torture anything they want between missile reloads, and of course have missiles for hard stuff when needed.
Even the so-called “long range” maps are really not thanks to Gaijin clogging them with obnoxious amounts of junk in every possible case, and also in many cases bad spawn placement.
For instance, before it was restricted to 9.7+, I tried to like Red Desert, but with the spawns being basically in the map corners, there quite literally is no flank route whatsoever, just three virtual lanes. And then anywhere remotely near caps is infested with bush and boulder snot.

The Mbombe 8 isn’t Kas though it’s Za with 57 being added to it by a Kas company but you do you

It’s manufactured by Kazakhstan Paramount Engineering so it’ll be an event vehicle for the USSR and possibly other variants of the Mbombe for Britain, the Barys is a localized variant so it doesn’t belong to South Africa.
