The "fun" part? This vehicle is de facto BMPT Terminator in terms of firepower since BMPT can't reload its missiles either and one of its 30mm autocannons is dedicated to HE rounds so it's the same as using 30mm AGL on most combat distances(in fact AGL HE rounds would be stronger due to having thinner walls and more filler). This is also why BMPT sails failed. Algeria for example just bought these turrets(Berezhok), uparmored them and installed them on hulls of their retired T-62's(they had to downsize turret ring). Done. BMPT of sane man.

The thing with the BMP-2M that frustrates me alot, is that it's Ammo belt under the turret regularly gets Destroyed, but doesn't detonate. It simply goes black, then disappears. Then the BMP-2M just shoots a missile at you and Overpressures your entire Crew, regardless of where it Hit.

BMP-2M is pretty powerful but for some reason, I gravitate towards the BMD-4 more. I usually take it as my first spawn, get into a good position early game with its mobility. Only issue would be the amount of ATGM's you get, which is fine because I can spawn in on the BMP-2M or go to a cap and refill. I've found there's plenty of advantages compared to the BMP-2M, sight of fire being inline with gunner optics means that I won't flub up launching an ATGM at a bush that was beside me, better gun depression w/ hydro suspension, obviously better mobility for getting into hiding spots on flanks quicker compared to BMP-2M. But realistically, they both compliment one another in my lineup. BMP-2M I rarely get to use most times because BMD-4 is always my first spawn.

Have to say, while OP vehicles always suck no matter what tree they're a part of since someone else is always on the receiving end of the pain, this thing in particular does rustle my jimmies a bit more than some other generally-agreed-upon OP vehicles. I largely play British tanks, and while I know what I signed up for by playing them, hauling the Challenger 1 or Chieftain's slow backsides to semi-decent hull-down positions (if I'm lucky on the map selection) while hoping CAS doesn't drop half a tonne of explosives on my head, only to have someone rocketing about in this thing put a Kornet through the front of my turret faster than I can reverse into cover isn't very enjoyable. Let alone when they appear in downtiers and I'm trying to do the same thing in a Centurion or Conqueror.

I love that when spook plays the 2M its like everyone has the reflexes of a cabbage but when I play it’s like everyone is pro league

Spookston, just to add on, using the Proxy missiles is probably better than the Tandem ATGMs. You have a nice margin for error and so long as you get right over the turret, it's pretty much a guaranteed kill via overpressure. Also the missiles are FANTASTIC for anti-air and are fast enough to chase down jets that aren't paying attention.

the 2a5 that killed u in 3:27 is my friend lol

Im fine with it being uptired , but the higher it goes , the less usefull that 30mm is going to get. The missiles are great , but at long ranges , if the enemy spots you while you are still firing your rocket , you are dead. So this vehicle requires some flanking and hope that the enemy is blind and doesnt see you. What if after the uptier , it got some sort of new round , with atleast a tiny bit more penetration , or the abilatty to carry 2 loads of the APDS ammo. Cause now you only get 1 , 250 round belt.

Yeah I free aimed them on PC....it wasn't easy either as there were some very simple things pilots could do to evade the missiles but few ever did Don't fly straight from the Air Spawn to the A/O, attack from the sides - I always aimed at where the planes spawn in Secondly drop down and fly as low as possible Since the 2M had no Radar/IRST it had no way to detect threats

It’s actually even more broken than you made it look. You didn’t use the APDS to its full effect. The auto canon is a track and barrel torture machine!

The thing is. I feel like this is a more accurate representation of a vehicles BR. Reasoning: because just like premium vehicles, people of all skill level can play it not just the people that have sunk countless hours in the game. Top tier vehicles tend to skew to higher BRs because the only people that have them (generally) are the people that have played long enough to be good at the game. Addendum: ATGMs in general are worse than a tank round regardless of their penetration. If I see the ATGM carrier I can still 1 hit KO it before its missile ever gets to me.

@NMJZ

Very valid points, especially about ATGMs. I think ATGMs launchers are worthless compared to a tank with APFSDS. But I still think taking into account all players that play the BMP-2M isn't a great way to balance it. Honestly, slanting the vehicle slightly towards the majority who play top tier more, i.e. skilled and experienced players is a better way. That way, unskilled players are encouraged to bring up their skills to match the rest of the players, in other words, the majority.

@@NMJZ I hate to agree with TEC here but he's not wrong. This applies to all vehicles. "The average performance of a vehicle is just that, average." Basing BR on the average player means in the right hands a vehicle will always over-perform. But if you instead skew balance to the top 10% of players the lower 90% suffer for it.

Wholly unsurprisingly, a 2016 tank fighting 1945 to 1960 tanks is fucking overpowered. And unsurprisingly, it fits in best against 1980 to 2000+ era vehicles. Almost as if gaijin planned it that way.

Wait this BMP was at 8.7 WTF

Nice GLA music in the background! Another great video! But sadly I think you sold me more on this thing then anything else

the bmp-2m is one of my most-used vehicles because i got it early on when i started playing warthunder. I bring it with me in every russian lineup, straight to 11.0 in place of other higher br vehicles, every single time. Gaijin could move it to 11.3 and it wouldn't affect me in the slightest. BMP-2M is in a class of its own, it's really weird. It would perform equally against enemies and be just as killable by enemies at just about any BR post-rangefinder. I think the only real way to counter IFVs like this is for Gaijin to integrate sight lead on tanks capable of it. For the BMP-2M, specifically, I would be okay with the missiles getting a longer reload time.

Been saying it since ive gotten this monster, it is insanely OP and hilarious to play.

A problem you've already brought up is that IFVs like the BMP and Bradleys can punch well above their weight class, so yeah it does well at top tier, but I'd say its performance is more 9.3/9.7. *also if you didn't already know the tunguska gets irst so you can get silent aircraft tracking, just switch to it in the radial menu* Edit: Lol just got uptiered to 9.3 and given APDS-FS with 94mm of pen at 500m flat. Just dropped that nugget on us silently.
