As you may have noticed if you have looked at the dev server, Sweden received its second squadron vehicle. It’s not for air, it’s obviously not for helicopters, it’s for ground, their second for ground. A “tank” that should have been added with the release of “Fire & Ice,” the BMP-2MD (Fin)
It’s placed at 8.7, has APDS, gen 3 thermals, no ATGM, has IRCM, and stabilized. I think this addition was long overdue, and might be worth the wait, but we’ll just have to wait to find out. But it also makes me raise the question, why not an air squadron vehicle first?

No clue why it was added as a squadron vehicle. It’s a shame it isn’t a researchable TT vehicle, as it’s one of the few actually unique Finnish vehicles in the subtree. I agree an aircraft would have been a more suitable alternative for a new squadron vehicle.
But hey, let’s just be happy they added this thing after all, it’ll be a nice addition to the already quite strong Swedish 8.7 lineup!

I think it should be lowered to 8.3. I think not having the ATGM is too big of a tradeoff
Gen 3 thermals and IRST? It can track aircraft without them knowing, it’s light, fast firing, everything has light armor, and it has a stabilizer, it would have no lineup built about it if it was 8.3
I don’t think the tradeoff is worth it. You’ll be flanking 90% of the time, so just the autocannon will be enough. However, I’d rather have the safety of having an ATGM that can destroy heavier targets as opposed to thermals/IRST which I don’t think will be too useful.
I personally disagree because Utility > Brute force
J35F (maybe) could be nice addition as a squadron. Personally, I’d really like to see it.
I’d rather have the F-16A that they had as squadron, and make the F and J2 TT.

Good point, but another F-16 in other tech tree is kinda boring ngl
But it’s a F-16A with a quadricolor splinter and Swedish livery.
