They’re actually in use to the extent that at least one is known to have been lost in combat.

Same is for the BMP-3 with that cannon, the barrel is jacketed inside a support tube welded directly to the 100mm barrel to reduce barrel movement on any axis not parallel to the recoil of the gun.
So maybe it won’t break itself or bend a pretty thin 100mm firing tube during a reload, which it is like 5 cm apart from?
what is this even supposed to mean
The reason for this sleeve at the end of a 2A72 on a BMP-3, what exactly couldn’t you understand?
If you can even in the slightest demonstrate that this was because of recoil and not because the army just didn’t want them (because the BTR-82A coming in around the same time was better) I will be quite surprised.
Are you familiar with a concept of sarcasm? The most popular, initial public version for denial is a rear engine layout. Army wanted a BTR with the troop compartment and doors in the back. That drastic redesign is not really feaseble, a new vehicle is needed instead, but the state doesn’t really want it anyway, so it never happens. As usual they eventually move to a cheaper option so they can pocket that money for themselves or whatever they do with our tax money.
So you have no evidence whatsoever to support your claim that recoil was an issue.
As i said, it was a joke in a context of BTR-90. There were dudes who installed 2A42 in BTR-82A, yea well it was great until the thing practically disassembled itself after a couple of hunded rounds at 600rpm.
BMP-3/2s fire in short bursts we have hours of footage. That we cannot share. The exception being extreme close ranges or if they are assaulting a position again from closer ranges

Yes, firing in bursts tends to be more efficient on most automatic weapon systems. You kinda want to see where you are shooting.
How come i knew what would happen even before i asked about mentioned in-game inconsistencies? First dude just started a default tantrum with “trust me bro” level arguments and eventually it boiled down to a default “stupid soviet autocanons being so innacurate they hit other universe”. Even when provided with a piece of documentation they still say “nuh uh” and try to twist it someway. A self-proclaimed “military expert” who knows very much about 2A42, yet he hasn’t seen it once irl, not even noticing that bullshit that i wrote “15 ton BMP-2 weighs twice as much as a BTR-82 (15 tonnes)” and just continuing his imaginary arguments to suit whatever he wants them to. At least he was polite, i guess. Just play the game instead of crying on forums. That’s a really strange mentality some people have, instead of trying something they just like to feel as miserable as possible, blaming some unreachable entity that doesn’t even know about them.
But that’s literally how it is. Sometimes they hit the helicopter they’re mounted on. Russian autocannons — it’s literally a meme.
Wow, and what’s the burst length in that case?
Spoiler
This table is made for single shots lol

Funny absolutely no western autocannon needs that then…
That aside,
Like you weren’t running on assumptions and guesswork at best.
For single shots.
Have too
but go off
Because I had a better example to refute the claim. If you want to admit you realised your error and just started baiting, go ahead.

It’s also providing multiple hit protection for the same block. I’ve hit the same exact spot with M900 then it still eats it on the second shot. Took a third to fully pen.

I’m sure the person who mains russia will have well-formed and honest opinions about russian equipment and how they should perform in game (clueless)

Good luck trying to debate with NATO fanboys.

I would seriously consider reading the argument he attempted to make before immediately agreeing with him on principle. I have nothing against liking russian equipment.

Its not about fanboys anything regardless your username lol.
We need the game to be balanced
I don’t give a shit whether it is NATO or CN or JPN or RU being overpowered. I would glad them all to get nerf.

- KH38 MT, not only existing but also having 3rd gen thermal as consumable
- LMUR (twice as much as IRL on Mi28MN)
- turret basket / caroussel eating spall, not creating any
- BMPT belt being disconnected between turret and hull (ammo rack in the turret won’t kill the vehicle while it should)
Neutral mismodeling that tends to favor russian vehicles (but not only)
- Doppler return from helicopter blades not modelled (most AAs that aren’t russia at top tier are fox 3)
- Multipath (most AAs that aren’t russia at top tier are fox 3)
- LDIRCM overperforming (can confuse multiple IIR missiles at once, specifically against IRIS-T, rendering Mi28 basically imune to all western AAs)
Incorrect behavior on western vehicles
- Manpads overload (explanation given by Gaijin basically being : Igla can’t turn so we don’t be believe Stinger and Mistral can either)
- Absence of anti ERA tip on western APFSDS
- High drag on western SAMs (Aster’s speed is M1.3 in game for 11000m high, 30km target, while it is M2.6 according to IRL scenario)
- Western ERA, NERA somehow being less efficient than contact or relikt against conetic AND chemical threats while being heavier and taking up more volume
