Matchstick101 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Up until I started using it I had no idea the BMP-2 had to turn off its turret drive to use its ATGM. My question is what is the mechanical reason behind this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jartsev Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Yes, IRL you need to do this, unless you ready to take risks like hitting your own gun barrel with missile immediately after launch, severing control wires and so on. So this why ПТР(ATGM) switch , if turned on, enables ATGM sight reticle power and switches stabilizer to stand-by mode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikingo Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'm here just to say that I that the BMP-2 is included in the sim. Hope full BMP-1 will have his place someday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine intercepting and incoming BMP2 AT-5 with your Marder Milan. Such a show for the AAR and save it for posterity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
