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.

Why not just get more boxer variations? Idk but im fine with the cv90 on my germ line but id rather have more vehicles that are actually german.
Wouldn’t mind seeing more Kazakh vehicles, we have the Su-25BM so far.

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.

This is a untrue statement
You know what I mean.
The have a better HSTV-L, a better ADATS, 3 of the best IFVs in game and the strongest round in the game

Ill say it because some people are afraid to say it but the bmp 3/bmd 4 are under br’d alongside the 2s38 and the bmp 2m. Ive played almost all ifvs around that br and im tired of people thinking they are fine where they are. The bmp3/4 are easy 9.3-9.7 but i disagree with them being the same br as the type 89 ,type 87 rcv, vbc pt2, and cv9030.

I quite like the AV8, I’d hope it could be paired with the PT-91M as potentially a subtree for Poland but I’m also biased
not so sure about the BMP-2M, besides the fact that the fuel tank sometimes eats shells and takes 0 damage, never really considered it a threat in my matches as the missiles are kinda meh
Or maybe i’ve just gotten really lucky with it
For me ive had some great matches with the gun alone, the missiles are nice but the mobility and gun just make that thing a flank n spank demon
