Default Accuracy of the BTR-80A and BMP-3 30mm cannon.

I was watching a vid about BTR-80A and BMP-3. Both of them were firing 30mm cannon at a target not too far away, in my opinion.
YouTube Video


Notice the poor accuracy of the BTR-80A 30mm cannon (1.09 ) and BMP-3 (2.18 ).

Is that cannon really that innaccurate?

I would love to see what Nosferatu has to say!

You are right it doesnt even get close.
The guy is talking about its awsome firepower, but if that firepower doesnt reach the target, whats the point.

By the way, the guy said the cannon can defeat other light-armored vehicles up to a mile... Doesn't seem so, to be honest. I'm still waiting to hear what Nosferatu has to say.

Accuracy of 2A72 on the video is hitty indeed.
But I've seen results of shootings from this gun, it wasn't totally pinpoint quality, but definitely better.
It could be local ammunition in UAE they used.

Hard to determine the accuracy of a weapon system in a Youtube video TBH.

War is America's way of teaching geography.

Hmm, interesting. They seem to be able to maintain that ROF for longer periods of time than the one in game.

i've read that BMP-2 is able to fire half of its ammo load on highest ROF and then fire another half in bursts. And only then it requires full cooling
