Would love a BMP for the Soviets

[Sturmpionier]

I mean, the US just got the LAV25, send in the BMP!

The problem with that would be that the US forces would have exactly 1 piece of armor while the soviets have 3. Not exactly a good idea for conflict servers.

But you can kill a BMP with any LMG, so theyre not that "tough"

Yeah, but the BRDM and BTR aren't exactly capable of fighting the LAV, while the LAV is more than capable of knocking out either by itself. A BMP 1 or 2 would give the Soviets a vehicle able to properly counter the LAV. At the end of the day, a LAW or RPG could end any of these vehicles if need be.

If it isn't obvious, maybe I'm off but it seems the company hates the soviet faction. Not to mention all the new missions, which involve you killing/taking out there officers. But nothing in regards of a similar mission for them like in Red Hammer. A BMP would make things better.

Hahaha, I remember the campaign in the original Op Flashpoint, the soviets were definitely the bad guys, even in the soviet campaign, however they did nothing in the way of nerfing their gear, in fact soviet gear, helis, apc's and tanks were simply glorious!

Not true at all. The KPVT 14.5mm is capable of shredding the LAV in short order.

APC fights now are going to come down to who has better recon.
