The Scorpion variants would be nice too, Scorp 90, the 2x20mm SPAAG, FVT925, Kastet etc

Kastet would be very silly :3

Afaik it’s the same.
Generally it’s a downgrade from the premium/event ones so go figure

oh so if it’s worse why did they call it the M2? oh well at least there is a tech tree BMD4

Would compete with Vautour IIN (Artificially limited from having bombs) version

The M2 is a unification program between BMDs and BMPs.
The turret systems and propulsion are taken from a BMP-3

ohhhhh so a BMP3 with a different chassis

Essentially.
If it had darts it could offset the lack of autoloaded missiles but here we are.
It’s a fun one but defo not on my priority list.

quick question for the lads, does enyone know why the userskin blk from the Cv90105 XC-8 named sw_cv_90105_tml and the TML named sw_cv_90105

The Ka-52M may appear in the next update.

Not a wish list thread

This is not a wish, it is the developer’s words being sped up from “in the future” to “in the next patch.”

A prophetic dream one truly hopes.

FV101s for days, 2 for the UK (1 with LRF 1 without), 1 for the Belgian/French and 2 for the Thai-Japanese (1 with LRF).

Scorpions for days gaijin, WHEN!

Man, Am I the only one who doesn’t want infantry? That’s what enlisted is for. CAS is cancer enough to die to.
