The BRDM-2 and You - Page 2

Thanks for the replies. Hopefully this will make people a tad better at using this underrated vehicle!

I'm out of comision for the moment (LCD died, using a tiny crappy CRT right now), but I will likely post up a few guides on various other things when I get a chance.

Hehe I like em' but their armour is hella weak. I remember one time where me and my squad cornered a BRDM, then proceeded to throw grenades and fire at it till it blew up.

Best bet is to think of it as a jeep with a large gun.

Jabal's probably a great map to see this used best. Its failry narrow roads constrict the enemy's movement, though it's possible to get hull-down positions if you know how and where to drive.

Plus, you can load up the AA and HAT guys in the back and have a good youse for them, versus helicopters and APCs. That, plus the fact that you can shoot a huey down after continuous fire from the main gun, especially if it's been damaged from the AA.

Jabal is indeed the best when it comes to using the BRDM-2.

I had one particular round where we took it directly to the Dam flag and scouted ahead of the team. I was reporting helicopter positions to the commander while I was outside listening for LAVs. My gunner was still in the gun in the very bottom of the Dam complex. I heard one LAV-25 approach and I thought for sure it was going to stay topside. Nope. By that time, we had a log truck and supply truck there trying to set up a FOB. The LAV-25 went up around around and took one of the north roads to make it down to the FOB position. It came too close however and turned its backside towards us. I hopped back in the drivers seat and inched forward and my gunner did the rest. We used 50+ rounds into the back of the LAV-25. It was too busy raping the FOB to notice getting shot in the ass I guess

. We took it down and I guess it was reported to the other LAV because it came down as well. We didn't win this time with it firing back!

But, we did manage to disable it with one of its sides crippled. But, we came back in with a BTR-60 to finish him off and the rest of the round went smoothly after that.

In total: Killed 4 LAVs, 4 Hueys, and multiple Infantry.

So, it's possible to take on an LAV-25 but it is NOT recommended!

Offroading with the BRDM and the spandrel version is the absolute best, but takes practice. Most people have flipped it enough over nothing that they think it can't take a hill, but this thing is actually almost as mobile as the technical, you just have to be careful with it. Small amounts of gas. Ever seen one above the the footbridge on kozelsk? It can be done, and it can cover both bridges and the only approaches to the south as well.
And because most dont know how to offroad it well, no expects it either.

I find the BRDM the most versitile thing in game.

If used right it can be an utter pain for your foe.

I find Wolfpack and ambush tactics work best.
And the fact it can cross rivers leads to some very interesting suprise attacks.

I have my best rounds with this on fools road

Good tips. I generally try to use armor is an intelligent manor. I hate seeing people rushing up with APCs and other assets simply to waste them. Stay back and hammer targets. You goal is to cover INF squads and support the attack. Not attack and die.

#1 Use your weapons range to full advantage, no need to close.

#2 Multiple units need to cover each other, fuster clucking wastes assets. Also having differing lines of fire makes it mighty hard to not kill em all.

#3 Stay in areas the give you the advantage, period. Don't flip your damn rig, don't get stuck in trees...don't forget what floats and what doesn't.

On muttrah we used the wolf packs to hunt down enemy apcs that were alone then go to base for repairs and rearm then back towards the other. after the APC's were down we used our cannons as AA guns which proved extremely effective.

But something that just popped into my head was using those cannons to fire upon the carriers deck. once the skys are clear and the armor is burning.

KPVT 14.5 is also used on ZPU-4 (the "quad aa cannon")
