The BRDM-2 and You

[Gunners87]

As long as you take it slow you should be fine off-road. And no one ever expects to find a BRDM in the forest!

Asad Kahl, BRDM is toasted as soon as someone is smart enough to point a .50 cal or LAT at them

I've read and re-read this thread several times over. The BRDM-2 has become my favorite land vehicle in PR thanks to you! Also, I've survived hits from LATs before, not quite sure how but I did it!

brdm2 is my favourite vehicle too. its mobile, its fast, its powerful, one bad thing about it is that it got very bad armor :<

Wrong.
PKT / PKM -> 7,62x54mmR
HK21 -> 7,62x51mm NATO

In game the damages were the same, no?

You'll also find this guide was written 2 years ago, so some things are bound to be off.

One my favorite and in my opinion funnest vehicle in PR.

My record in a match was on Kashan acting as a scout, and "AA" for two tanks.

Between me and my gunner we took out two apaches, one blackhawk, one hummer, 4 infantry, 1 AA humvee thing and a logistics truck. Funny thing is in a group of other vehicles this thing will always survive the longest, as other APC's AFV's and tanks are much bigger threats (at least they think so....) so you can actually stay alive for a good while, and the 14.5mm packs enough power to do some damage.

I think you misunderstand what a wolfpack is. It doesnt mean that theyre spread out (Although in this case you would want it to be) Its a cohesive group of armor working together to wreck havoc on the opposing team

In WWII the Germans used them with their U-boats to quite great effectiveness. Had the Germans had more than 50 U-boats at the beginning of the war, and started the Wolfpacks from the beginning of the war, the war would have come out very different due to strangalation of supplies to Britain.

Any ways back to what I was saying. In the BDRM-2 ideally a wolfpack would spread out and keep moving (Spread out by say a street apart a piece traveling in a general direction. Then once one would spot contacts, he would hide, and radio to the other three, this is known as shadowing. Then, the other three would run into place and all at once as a cohesive unit attack. As soon as all contacts are neutralized, or most of them enough to take them out logistically, they would disappear as if they were never even there and resume patrols.

Not trying to say your wrong, just offering what I know about a "Wolfpack"

Tips for wolfpacks;

- In the BDRM especially, speed and suprise are your key. Speed because if your constantly moving its going to be very hard for spotters to keep track of you because you wereconstantly changing position and directions.

-Suprise is your friend. Think of it from a sqaud point of view, your moving with another sqaud all of a sudden, as your moving from point a to point b, you start taking heavy fire from 4 different directions. Then half of your sqaud is dead and the other sqaud is gone too. then as soon as it happened, theyre gone, and you dont know what has happened.

A well coordinated attack will cause confusion and pandamonium, then youll be well away from the area by the time they figure out what happened.

Hope this helps at all

Hi.

First, ill let you know what are my tactics when it comes to tanking/vehicle warfare. I dont care how bad my armor is, how weak my main gun is, how slow it is, etc etc. I just want to take the best out of it.

I have always been a lover of "Weak Vehicles", for example in FH2, i always grab the bad stuff, mainly because its great and fighting with it is unique and because nobody uses them. For example, Carro Armato M13/40 on Gazala, weak stuff, but lovely, im always rushing to get one of these.

But anyways, i have been playing Fools Road lately, and i can see that many people seem to ignore the BDRM. To enlighten you, there are three kinds of BDRM, those with that machinegun thingy, the one with rockets and the transport one. Since its the only available armor for the Milita, its THERE for a reason, and i feel sad that not many ppl seem to use it, because its weak, because it cant take an APC out... etc

So, i wonder how that epic thing would do against a well equipped british force, im looking for tactics, ambush spots, what to do and how to fail, tips, tricks, whatever.

Thanks!

Best asset ingame, always having lots of fun with that vehicle, especially with =ASS= yksinkertanen

BRDM2 is really funny thing in PR. I can remember a moment at Kozelsk. We were militants and operated the Spandrel. So we decided to go to F8 sector and were waiting for enemy tanks. Driver left the vehicle with a gunner and began searching surroindings for targets. BRDM began sliding off to the water and flipped What a shame... The gunner was trying to rotate rocket launcher but BRDM didn't want to overflip and continued sliding to water. When BRDM touched the water surface it was smoking badly but survived and overflipped in water. Thanks to russian engineers who made this thing able to swim and DEVs who made it in PR!

PS: I think the wheels should be bigger than they are now in PR
PPS: BRDM on Asad Khal (MEC vs GB) was an epic asset!
