M3A4 bradley

Where is Scorpion XD

Which features makes this M3A4 1.3, 1.7, or 2.0 BRs better than the M3A3?

Because to me they look functionally identical, but with a bit more horsepower.

and the time it came out to make it reasonable, the time it came out is the biggest thing cause gajin wont put a modern day infantry vehicle in 10.3

“Enhanced”, yes. But by how much? The language used here is very ambiguous, almost marketing speech. The difference isn’t that much… M3A3 engine is 600hp, M3A4 is 675hp, that’s a 75hp (12.5%) increase. The Bradley is fairly sluggish to begin with, I doubt this modest power increase does anything but compensate for the added weight from other changes.

Same as before, very vague statements. It says improved, but by how much? There’s a physical limit to how capable a 25mm projectile can get.

Are there any figures or specifications for this ERA? Would it protect the Bradley from threats it sees in War Thunder, like 30mm APFSDS, Tandem HEAT ATGMs, and MBT main cannons? I doubt it. Again, there are limits to how much protection a IFV can have without becoming too heavy. I suspect this ERA is mainly intended to stop RPGs and man portable weapons, but I don’t know for certain.

AFAIK this isn’t modeled in War Thunder. The only situational awareness tools we get are gunner sights, commander sights, driver port (who uses this?), and binoculars. Higher resolution thermal sight is the only improvement I could see being relevant (if it is upgraded at all)

Not modeled in War Thunder (sadly), and if the “protection measures” are spall liners then it’s classified.

Specifics? How much of this is relevant to the tank-on-tank focused gameplay in War Thunder?

The era or introduction date of a vehicle is not relevant to BR or tier, only it’s performance. The 2S38 is a prototype vehicle that hasn’t been accepted into service yet, and it’s at 10.0. Likewise the German PUMA is the Bundeswehr’s newest IFV and also is at 10.0. The KF41 Lynx is a 2015 design, and it is at 10.7 in Italy.

Don’t mistake my tone here, I want USA and other nations to have more high/top tier IFVs and Light tanks, but placing vehicles at higher BRs than they belong to is not the way IMHO.

Better candidates for top tier IFV/Light tank would be M10 Booker, BAE’s MPF prototype, or General Dynamics Griffin III

Edit: To be clear, I’m not saying “no” to this vehicle, I just think you overestimate it’s BR. Add poll options for 10.0, 10.3, 10.7 maybe and I’ll be happy to vote.

Did you forget about the 2S38?

11.0 or 10.7 would have been more appropriate for this

Why would this even be BR 10.7?
It’s functionally the same as the M2A3.

okay yes but i’m also going in a more realistic wise as the M3A4 bradley today is the most modern of the bradley which the M4 bradley would be going against the most modern tanks, but i see what yall are saying so i will try and make another suggestion cause im and unable to edit the polls now.
