In doing all the other things, we just forgot to put them in.

I don't know how many weapon slots ground vehicles can have but if they can have the same as other things the BMP-3 should get its proper loadout.
20 100mm Frag shells (no damage against armour but larger blast radius against troops). 20 100mm HEAT shells (what it has 40 of now). 250 30mm APFSDS (what it has 200 of now). 250 30mm HE (like other IFVs have). 8 AT-10s (ATGMs). Smoke and Coax as standard.
Alternatively you could just give it 40 frag shells and no HEAT since it has enough anti armor weapons already!
Also the first 2 passenger seats should be controlling the 2 bow machine guns.
Put all that in and the BMP-3 would be a thing of beauty.

You mean like the Bradley and the little birds?

We'll have to wait and see how Bradley's TOW balances against BMP's 100mm
gun,in the end it's just like it always been: the best crew wins.

All right some additional BMP3 testing on Kashan (yes I took the time to drive across the desert,did not use the training mode,well can't really use it for armor VS armor anyway)
It seems to me (and I know my bmp's and T90's very,very well just ask any
NATO member from the PRT) that the damage from the 100 gun has been reduced. Why? Well hitting the support truck from 200/100 meters to the front
with the driver sitting in it results in NO DAMAGE to the driver and
a second shot is needed to kill off the truck.
I've fired all the ammo that the bmp had to make sure and it's no fluke.
You can easily test this.
It takes the same 2 shots to kill a Bradley or Linebacker.3 shots (anywhere) to kill the Abrams and 2 shots if you know exactly where to hit.

The only positive is that it's still possible to kill the Abrams with under 20 APFSDS rounds assuming 100% accuracy.
Another "bummer" is the single zoom,like it used to be, Bradley's however
get the double,oh well, - more glory for my teammates

Right, this is basically a suggestion about the BMP 3's armament.

Currently it has:

100mm cannon with HE shells
30mm autocannon with AP rounds
7.62 coax machinegun

This is what it should have:

100mm cannon with HE shells
AT-10 ATGM's
30mm AP rounds
30mm HE rounds
7.62 coax
2 7.62 bow machineguns


BMP-3 Tracked Infantry Combat Vehicle Army Technology
BMP-3 Tracked Infantry Combat Vehicle Army Technology - Specifications

My suggestion for the weapon slots:

1: AT-10
2: 100mm HE rounds
3: 30mm AP rounds
4: 30mm HE rounds

And the coaxile 7.62 being the secundary weapon.

Also, there should be no delay when switching from the 100mm cannon to 30mm or the other way around.

As for the 2 bow machineguns, it could be nice to either:

1: Give both of them to the F3 seat
2: Give one to the F3 and one to the F4 seats.

This could actually make the BMP 3 more devastating with a squad or atleast a couple of guys inside, promoting "proper" use of this vehicle, as a vehicle in a squad instead of 2 guys on their own mission.

Would you like fries with that?

A more realistic BMP-3 loadout will be looked into for future releases.

Do it right or leave it out the game.

C'mon, I just said we'll look into it. Demanding shit like that doesn't work around here.
