Yeah, I agree it can definitely be a toss up. I am in the fortunate position to have both, so I leave the armor on the BMD-4M and just take the BMD-4 when I want the speed.
Fwiw, the engine power and gearboxes being different between the BMD’s makes it a bit more complicated, especially in Arcade. The fewer gears of the BMD-4 makes it silly quick in acceleration. I notice less of a difference in Realistic as the extra gears in the BMD-4M “seem” to make it feel less heavy with the extra armor added. But that is more of my “feeling” rather than any sort of “proof”.
That is quite nice. I could’ve gotten it, had they explained the events better way back when.
I am happy with the BMD-4M but there are tanks on the battlefield that put the fear of god into me when I’m playing. Mainly spaa, but the MBT-70 / KPz-70 / XM803 are volumetric hell and often it’s spaced armor just eats my atgm and i relentlessly 30mm it until it kills me.
Lol, I got lucky and got the BMD-4 last year from the crates. I did buy the BMD-4M the moment it was released, but I ADORE light tanks, and the BMPs/BMD’s are some of my absolute favorite lights, so I jumped for it 😂
Lmao I love the Bradley, I’m surprised it’s still able to see late WW2 vehicles this many years later. My personal favorite is probably the M41A1 (from Vietnam… but 6.3 for some reason).
I LOVE THE M3A3 Bradley! If they made a premium Bradley I would probably buy it immediately too 😁 I just cannot get enough of the light tanks with IRST 🎯 I think I have almost all of the IRST lights, maybe only missing one or 2. If that BMD “clone” in the China tree has IRST, that might be the only one I am missing. The Chinese ZBD04A Ah yup, the ZBD04A does have IRST, just double checked on the wiki.
I wanted the KV-220 to fit snuggly into my 5.7 USSR lineup, but I saw they made it a 6.0… not sure why or when, when it’s pretty much the IS-1, now I’m turned off that even.
Granted the KV-220 is still probably decent, I know you’ll just get shot through the breach and lose half of your crew instantly.
Kinda just want the IS-7 as a show piece, but since it’s 8.7 and sees plenty of HEAT-FS it’s another dead heavy.
Edit: I have most of the other vehicles, but the F3D thing would be sweet
I think I have 3 nukes in my Bradley…?
Only 1-2 in my BMD-4M, with vastly more playtime… sadly just hasn’t worked out for me. Not that WT has been great as of late.
I swear every enemy I see is like the perfect counter to me everytime X’D
Now that’s a borderline great tank. I think it solves the mobility issue, while having a good amount of frontal armor and slope, but it’s cannons are the same as the bmp-3 I cannot recall if the turret was upgraded or not.
This aircraft is an absolute menace at 8.3 with 4x1000LB bombs and 2x500LB bombs. With CCIP you can easily get 6 kills without much effort. How is an aircraft like the alpha jet 9.0 in ground but the SAAB is still untouched? Is an internal gun worth a 0.7 jump?
lmao my go to cas for sweden. Its balanced very stupidly by the 8.7 lineup going to 9.0 where the a32a is better. But its still crazy undertiered since u can bring the itpsv and strv104 with it still
It has poor mobility and mid guns with terrible accuracy, its the definition of CAS focused, whereas the Alpha is a good fighter and CAS platform. Regardless the SAAB 105 lacks a 8.3 lineup and must uptier 8.0’s it should be just go to 9.0.in ground since thats the only lineup it can play with effectively, or gaijin could add the SAAB 105J
