Is M2 Bradley more modern than M3 Bradley?
M2 is the IFV variant with less tow tube racks & more seats
M3 is essentially the recon variant with more tows & less seats
There’s some minor variance in later versions optics wise, but otherwise they’re identical
There is an M3A4 but afaik that’s an engine and electronics upgrade
Did US stop using M3 bradleys? I haven’t seen any news of M3 Bradleys getting upgraded like the M2 Bradleys.
It’s still around, A4 upgrade was in 2020 iirc
As Quartas said, it’s still around, its mostly just as case of the M2 & M3 being scoped down in roles by Stryker and the launch of the XM30 programme to replace both (the M2 & M3) by 2030ish. So we’re only seeing smaller upgrades & capability sustainment programmes rather than a larger upgrade programme.
Talking XM30, I really don’t get the whole idea of going for a non-bradley chassis? IIRC the AMPV, a Bradley based system, has only recently gone into full rate production, loosing that parts commonality seems a bit wasteful IMO
Are you sure that’s a real plane?
It never went past the wind tunnel model stage. You can consider this as a real plane.
sorry, I completely missed that.
Maybe different version of it? If it’s on block 3 there’s 2 before it
the difference is huge, can’t find any in common except they are missiles.
Coyote can be configured in 5 different iterations, one with a tandem warhead which comes to a point. Most images out are of Block 1 and Block 2.
F-4G wouldn’t fit well in the game unless dedicated SEAD became a reality in game (introduction of ARM’s like Shrikes, HARMs, Standards etc), which would be cool. I’m all for more Phantoms in the US tree though, suggestions for F-4B, F-4D, F-4N, F-4E (1983 spec) promise some cool variation in the Phantom family.
In addition, we should definitely have the F-101A and F-106A (1972 spec) in game. Although the AIM-4 missiles wouldn’t suite the meta, both aircraft are capable of gunfighting, and a total lack of Falcon missiles in game is missing out on important early piece of missile tech history IMO, even if its bad in game. Also A-4M still not in the US tree even though Israel had the A-4N for years now… would be nice to have that and the A-4K (from New Zealand) in the UK tree
Are there other picture services? Because twimg does not work for me
East German ZiL-131 towing a 57mm S60 AA trailer. It could theoretically be fired while on the move (though it would be very hard to aim). They could even add a system that lets you stop and set the gun in a firing position (can’t move while it’s set, 5-10 seconds to set/lift leveling jacks for more accurate fire). I just like the idea of speeding around in a cargo truck while the gunners hold on for dear life.
Also a version with the 37mm M1939
T-72S with T-80UD turret, including engine and transmission
T-62 and T-55 with 6TD engine 1000 hp and transmission from T-80UD
