BMP-2 Infantry Fighting Vehicle

Description


About the Build
Fresh from a victorious battle from the previous SETB Early Cold War Themed event, I give to you, the Boyevaya Mashina Pekhoty 2 or most commonly known as the BMP-2 (There ya go! :D). A Soviet amphibious tracked infantry fighting vehicle. Yes! This tank in SE works with the Water Mod by Jakaria! The build started with the BMP-1 model. To compensate for my terrible ping during SETB events, and also, for the lack of an equivalent gun, I decided to make this into a bullet spamming IFV that is fast and tough (until a direct MBT fire almost obliterates half my front hull yet I survived). However, by using the 30mm chaingun, I have in effect upgraded the build from BMP-1 to BMP-2.

This latest version has been upgraded to quickly adapt to changing crew availability. It can now operate (with a significant increase in difficulty) even with 1 crew! Of course, this IFV performs best with a full crew of 3 with room to spare for infantry at the back. The infantry can actively engage enemies while crouching.

Although this build could work with MART, it works out of the box with RotorTurretAddon (ModMART). Crew manuals are available in each seat for quick reference. :)

Aaaannd, Poof! Updated the thumbnail and the name. Tbh I really thought this is still within the BMP-1 specs when I posted it. Should have checked the wiki again. :steamfacepalm:

Well, I guess that does it for the model name. Thanks guys, and enjoy the build. :steamhappy:

This is BMP2 though

@Evil Jason Good catch :steamfacepalm:. Fun Fact: I started building the entire IFV following a BMP-1 model. Then as I said in "About the Build", I decided to use the 30mm autocannon for the SETB event because of my ping and I can't find anything I can use as the 73mm "Grom" gun. The ATGM is supposed to be the 9M113 that was used on the BMP-1D. I guess I accidentally upgraded it. :steamhappy:
