Militia BMP-1 or 2

steve_06-07 · 06-30-2008, 12:24 AM

I was hoping if the Militia could get a new APC becuase the one they have now is too thinly armored, plus the Soviet Union produced thousands of the BMP's so I don't see why a well organized Militia couldn't get ahold of some of them. I've seen a model in the POE mod so maybe you could just ask them for theirs.

Meh, I like the idea. Don't know if they'll do it, but Militia could have a BMP-1. BMP-2 are used by modern countries, not random OPFOR groups.

Opfor is what allies call enemys not a insurgent force or miltia. An Opfor can be a modern military.

I know that as far as the US goverment is concerned. However, notice I used the word "random," meaning unimportant or not chosen for a specific reason.

But you said modern countries :P

gclark03 · 06-30-2008, 01:15 AM

Even then, every country is OPFOR to some other country.

Anyway, the Militia APC-thing in use now is a coffin with wheels and a thin armored shell. Besides, it's only good for its coaxial gun, as its main cannon takes over 5 sets of 60 APFSDS rounds just to destroy a Warrior!

Its main cannon is supposed to be used against jeeps and INF, its a little bigger than a .50Cal so is not meant for anything more. Its RL role is as a scout car/fire support, not to engage enemy APCs.

The current APC is mostly used and bought by those types of groups, they fit the role great and I hope stay.

Even used as it should be in ambushing the UK forces, the BRDM is useless, it needs far too many rounds to even dent the Warrior or Scimitar; they simply look around and blow it away in a couple of rounds. The Spandrel model is better, though not much.

A BMP-1 should have to expend a good chunk of its 40rnd magazine to take out a Warrior (8-10 RPM), but should have a higher damage per round than the warrior.

Given that it's not from a well organised and funded force, I'd suggest only giving it the HEAT round, rather than any of the others available.

Militia and insurgents should not have compareable weapons to normal forces, they are meant to be weaker
