I’d like to see all NATO vehicles have the gunner expose themselves to reload ATGM’s, but that’s just me ig

id love to see that, especially as it will completely destroy the usability of BMPs

The BMP-1P and BMP-2 and BMP-2M only, though. I’m all for it
and i’d like to see all vehicles have the commander expose themselves to use external .50 cals, but neither is gonna happen

nah. All tanks should have their commanders exposed when firing the top machine gun.
those are the ones i hate the most so bring it.
BMP1 for ruining ww2/early 1950s BRs
BMP2m because it can fire on the move when its fire on the move should be next to impossible to use due to the poor stability of the launchers, meanwhile actually stabilised ATGM firers which should fire on the move arent allowed to
I mean if we really wanted to make gameplay a pain in the ass we could just make it so every modern MBT has to return its turret to a 0/0 position to reload.
true
fair
The BMP-1 (not the 1P) can reload its ATGM automatically btw! (no need for a crewmember to go outside).
The tank itself isn’t that great; 73mm HEAT is quite useless, so its ATGM is its real weapon. Its also quite slow.
ye
Limited fuel, can only be refuelled on cap points
I thought the same 100 times. These 50cals mounted on the back side of the turret can just be fired forward when a soldier stands on the engine deck. However, ingame its like 360deg remote control and these often lol kill any light vehicle and tracks. Would be best to remove these kind of additional weapons, which can’t be operated from the tank crew sticking out the turret hatches. To fire this gun forward, you’d need an additional soldier from accompanying infantry. Its not fair to give US tanks an invisible 6th crewman for these backside cal50 guns.

But US mains will whine 😡
it would affect the Bradley’s ATGMs when they need to be reloaded too. A crew member would have to expose themselves and lock the turret and launcher in place so they can reload!

Ehh, not exactly per say
A surprising amount of vehicles needed to be dismounted to reload. For example, the Ontos which largely negated the increase in survivability over the Scorpion
Note that’s only the case for the BMP-2, the 1P’s 9M113 could not be fired from inside
