I would have suggest make it a upgrade modification for existed M3A3 in game, not a “new” vehicle

The Bradley is a solid vehicle, I have no issues with it even at top rank. Iron Fist can shoot down ATGM’s and low velocity APFSDS-T and coupled with ERA makes this a lot more survivable. It’s all based on play style too in which everyone is different. While it may not shoot on the move, it has other factors that allow it to succeed.

Make this a thing. BUSK has needed to be on the A3 brad since it came out. Maybe the A4 and the dev team will deliver.
Doesn’t the M3A4 get the new XM813 30mm chain gun
The A4 bradley had BETTER have
-
Iron Fist APS
-
Busk 3 ERA with 120mm KE and 900mm CE protection (look it up that’s literally what the ERA protects from, the ERA itself is shock insenstive to 30mm apds and down, so it cant be set/stripped off, and provides full stanag level 6 protection which is 30mm Nato protection, while being able to tank hits from all known MAT threats and even older Kornets (just the older version though not the M or EM)
So again that means a MINIMUM Of 120mm KE protection as well as 900mm CE. -
the other thing that it should get is Wireless Tow2 Aero missiles, with the ability to fire the missiles on the move and leave the launcher deployed…
This is something that the US has been able to do for a long time now with the Lav-AT, Stryker AT, and the M3A3/A4 M2A3/A4 bradleys
we stopped building Wired tows in 2012 and went full wireless.
the Tow2 Aeros also get slightly more range too. -
the A3 and A4 bradleys should BOTH get the ability to buddy laze since its CITV/D module is literally designed to do exactly that.
Agreed A3 Bradley should atleast get BUSK/BRAT1 kits which provides 80mm Ke protection and 600mm Heat protection. It can’t be set off by 30mm or below AC fire.
Its also lighter than the BRAT2/Busk 3 kit.
the A4 Bradley should have BRAT2/Busk 3 armor kit
which is basically the same thing on Abrams adapted for the bradley,
its improved to 120mm KE/900mm CE and is designed to defeat Tandem charges and pretty much any MAT threat.
Busk 1 is older and is NOT rated for tandem charges.
The weight for busk armor is roughly as follows
BRAT 2 is about 180kg m²
BRAT 1 is about 130kg m²

Except budy lasing which could be a bit broken, I see no issue for other specs to be viable if the Bradley M3A4 comes in War Thunder.

The BR of this vehicle in the poll seems to be exagerated.
Its just a better well protected bradley, but still stuck with a slow 25mm bushmaster and old TOW missiles.
11.3, 11.5?? its not like it is carrying spikes or smth.

nah buddy lazing needs to be a thing. that or Remove all the features RU gets that other nations dont get. GL atgms. nonmultipathable uber fox1s. ERA, APS etc etc.
im sick of them being picky/choosy on what does and doesnt get added in the MOST convenient way to help the russians who dont need the freaking help. whats their high tier win rate anyway? its probably over 80%
Like everyone else (over the years), the BR suggested is a bit high, I think it should be no higher than 11.0, maybe 10.7. Externally wise, there is no difference between the A3 to A4 minus additional armor. Interior wise, the improved power pack (600hp engine to 675 hp) for better acceleration and accommodation of the armor. If we (Gaijin) went with adding the A4, it must to include the external armor (BRAT/BUSK III) kits, increased ammo storage for those who want to fill up all the way on ammo and the Iron Fist (APS) system from the E1 sub-model. If the Iron Fist is to be added, would this then raise the BR? I would prefer to see the BUSKIII kit over the BRAT since it’s based on the TUSK kit from the Abrams. Ukrainian donated Bradley’s are utilizing BRAT’s and BUSK kits. I can see dual target tracking especially if you’re trying to keep tabs on more than one vehicle. The so called auto gun-target adjustments (lead/elevation accuracy) which pretty much happens anyways especially w the researchable adjustment modification. Please comment/correct what you see, I really appreciate feedback from the community.
