That’s a valid comment for nation balancing, but this post is about the BMP-1, not Germany as a whole at 8.0.
To add my opinion, I have (and have used) the Soviet BMP-1 at 8.0, quite disappointing.

Yeah, it was at the tech tree road but now its inside the marder, so theres no reason to play it in my opinion. I’ve played it with marder1 and it was good enough for the tier. I think its better to use marder over the bmp1.
True, BMP-1 is almost always a free kill. just use the the marder 1a3 if you wanna play IFV’s that bad

This thing is nice, I really like it. In comparison with Marder A1- it feels as much better choice. However It’s a bit overrated in BR - 7.7 or even 7.3 would be a nice spot for it. A

I am spading the BMP and already have the pzh spaded
I agree it is far better than the Marder A1- but still underwhelming. Certainly not the worst vehicle
My goal is not to play the best vehicles, but to play and experience all of the vehicles the game has to offer.

Play the Marder and you’ll understand why it’s 7.7. A gun that’s mostly useless against anything except low flying aircraft, and a mediocre ATGM you only get four of.

sounds better than the BMP-1 at 8.0 ngl
How so?
Trust me, the Marder is way worse. The BMP is underwhelming but playable. The Marder A1- is just crap

ill take your word for it until i start grinding germany
I prefer the Marder with decent atgm then the BMP-1 with derp cannon and atgm hitting the ground when firing from hill postion. The Marder survival change is higher then BMP-1 when people using they 12.7mm machinegun just to kill your BMP-1 easy.
I got a nuke in it once (PBV 501)
PBV 501 is way better than the BMP
In my entire time spading the BMP, I never once got killed by a machine gun. I can see why you would prefer the Marder, but are you referring to the 1A3 or the A1- because its the A1- I think is bad. The A3 gets DM63 which is an excellent round for what it is: meanwhile, the A1- is stuck with DM43 which is a tiny apcr round that is terrible in every way.

Wow, the gun without the missile is better…
well, this one ain’t the best experience
I find it’s actually a pretty good vehicle. Pretty mobile and with a low profile, decently armoured for an IFV. The Konkurs are good ATGMs though the limited ammunition is annoying. While low velocity, the 73mm has very high penetration- I find that below 8.7 the only better IFV cannon is the Bradley’s Bushmaster.
Use it either at close range where the low velocity doesn’t matter much and the ATGM can be essentially dumb fired, or at long range as an ATGM sniper.
As for the missile drop, I haven’t noticed anything beyond what other ATGMs experience. I think the problem partially is that low profile. Just aim up slightly before correcting the missile aim to get a bit more height at launch.
When you put it 4 BR steps lower it is, considering the Konkurs is mostly useless anyway except for follow-up shots
