Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

That isnt merkava syndrome, merkava syndrome is addon armor not working, this is the ariete syndrome, extra weight with armor also not working

Love how it says the turret armor is 20 or the side armor being the same despite the side being 6mm lmao on the BMP-2MD. Definitely equal to the standard BMP-2. Again time could’ve been spent on something more important than this thing lmao. Guess with all the other bug reports they were looking to fix or add they just ignored this C&P addition.

I honestly wouldn’t be suprised if the Puma’s 5.56 could pen this thing somewhere lol

The picture has been totally blurry since the update, despite a good setup…

Thank the Anti aliasing gaijin added, it works very well

Probably need to add another bug report to this but even though it has worse armor all around, the add on weight also allows for rounds to penetrate the front easier instead of bouncing like they are supposed to since its more angled, i guess since they are made of paper and with gaijins normal pen they just make penning the vehicle easier.

EF-111 or EA-6 would be better suited for this imo

Well thats BMP-2D with additional armor plates vs BMP-2 with storage boxes

I found just straight up turning AA off gave me the clearest picture.

That + going into options > post FX settings and turning up TPS sharpness works best for my eyes.

dude there is literally no famous co pilot wtf is this scam giveaway

Thats BMP-2 without the 2D armor kit, i never bothered researching the BMP-2 since i wanted the the SPAA line first alongside the T10 line. So again its bugged.

Also i know the 2D adds side skirts and i think some bags on the turret but what else does it add?

Look at actual model. Additional plates are integrated into damage model and counted as a single armor piece.

Or hear me out, crazy idea, it goes to a plane that needs it and not the nation with the best aircraft?

not to mention the 2 planes you suggested would need to be added as new aircraft the Tornado Gr4 can use jamming pods with the current version

I literally cant see the additional plates on the BMP-2 not saying they aren’t there i just cant see them if they exist.

Is it that crazy to have a dedicated EW aircraft as the first plane to have EW stuff modeled? And the EA-6 will not be good outside of EW at all.

why would they add a plane that only has EW with no other weapons, as far as I know the EF-111 Raven doesnt carry any kind of offensive weapons and was used to jam radars for sead missions

the EA-6 also only had HARMs so outside of killing SPAA its kinda useless, the Tornado Gr4 could carry jamming pods and carry ALARMs which from what I have read can actually detect the Pantsir

You can see the outlines here:

Something thats missing on fin BMP-2:

Is that the same reason the sides are also different armor values? Again seems strange that the side armor can get as low as about 6mm in some spots on the 2MD.

Guess ill take the turret armor off the bug report then if thats the case, guess ill need to still work on the add on weight actually making the vehicle easier to pen.

Because thats the base BMP-2 armor. It was meant to survive personal weapons from the side but not much over that. BMP-2D damage model is just very simplified and doesnt match visual model as you can see here:
