BMP-2M Full Squadron Vehicle Review - Is It Worth Buying Or Grinding? [War Thunder]

[@Commenter495]

BMP-2 is probably top 3 squadron vehicle. Although I will always say the skr is the best because of its usefulness for the battle pass

[@Tejmaster1]

Why is it useful

[@DrFrogglePhD]

​​@@Tejmaster1ts a coastal vehicle, extremely fast firing guns, has torpedos and is rank 5. It can do anything that you need for coastal vessel challenges with the exception of not having AI controlled AA guns. Its really really good.

[@Tejmaster1]

@@DrFrogglePhD oh cool, I always just try to do challenges with random stuff (unsuccessfully)

[@charliezw3287]

Agreed sir

[@Idk-cz9ms]

Considering doing that one next

[@SilentButDudley]

I would say the top squadron vehicles are now the T80U, BMP-2M, Hunter F.58 and the M1A1 Aim.

[@alexey_chekhovich]

I’m playing it in my 11.0 setup and it’s still one of the most effective vehicles there. The best light tank in the game 100%.

[@nsdapcommunism2780]

What is your k/d on bmp 2m?

[@arucalibrxti3782]

2s38 is up there

[@mikelangelo1232]

3:40 it overpressures the shit out of any enemy tank. FM-3 is op as hell.

[@tommasogubiani3768]

Also the proxy fuse is fantastic for non line of sight shots against ligth targets

[@guerrinlove69]

This thing has the easiest stock-grind of any vehicle in the game, spaded it in 2 nights. Wouldnt say its too quick, when every match you go against Wolfpacks, CVs, Rooikats, Radkampfwagens, etc who ultimately beat you to a sick flanking spot. Ive had better results with this thing as a 2nd spawn or frontline support. DEFINITELY dont buy it. Join a high player count/activity squadron and take a break from the game. I got mine researched in a little over a month with no thought towards it.

[@sirbonobo3907]

Agreed

[@irirjhrhr4645]

about to unlock this thing but I only have 300k sl so imma have to grind some sl

[@270eman]

It does amazing in cities hiding in alley ways. I have gotten a lot of sniper kills with the ATGMS right out the gate in a new match. Double fire them as an insurance policy on the kill.

[@billbillson3129]

I just unlocked this and was finally able to buy/crew it. I have not had much success, bot only played one or two rounds... Thank you for making and sharing!!!

[@DerDrecksack87]

Hope you got the hang of it, it is truly a glass cannon, can literally kill everything crawling or flying, but it explodes if anybody even so much as looks at it^^

[@randomstuff4997]

i grinded for a full year for this and its well worth it

[@noobiplays8539]

If you're a seasoned BMP player then once you get BMP-2M you'll love it. If you are noob rush in and die BMP player.. then it may seem like glass cannon.

[@TDS1108Gaming]

For players with a pulse, play it like a light tank, not a heavy. 👍🏼

[@pieceofcornreal]

If you buy the bmp 2m with ge must you buy it with silver lions afterwards?

[@EyyyIsme]

The proxy-fuse missile is so much better than the regular ATGM. Especially at top tier where you won't be able to pen some tanks. With it's 9 kg of explosive filler it's almost guaranteed to overpressure. Light vehicles and SPAA stand no chance, tanks can maybe get lucky on 1 or 2 missiles but a full barrage of 4 missiles is game over for them and helicopters... well... try as you might you ain't flaring a beam-riding missile. It's the reason why I actively use it in SRE matches all the way up to top tier as it does everything it needs to and more (not to mention Russian bias letting it somehow ricochet dart rounds). Low profile? Check. 3rd gen thermals? Check. Scout UAV to spot enemies, which in SRE is especially useful for finding the enemy SPAA, which is of huge help to your friendly air? Check. Anti-air capabilities? Check. Anti-tank capabilities? Check. There's a reason people are still advocating to uptier this vehicle and it is because it belongs in top tier.

[@270eman]

They moved it 10.0 and yeah it doesn't even matter. I take it into my 11.0 setup and it can still wreck.

[@shawarmaboii5271]

of course its worth it. this is literally THE BEST squadron vehicle around. it will dominate every single vehicle it faces thanks to a rapid firing 30mm autocannon with apfsds and apds belt, ample supply of hard-hitting missiles, an ability to lock onto enemy aircraft, high quality thermals, amphibious capability, and that 30mm grenade launcher for whatever reason people use it for.....it is one of, if not the best vehicles of any class/tech tree

[@nsdapcommunism2780]

What is your k/d on it? I think you dont even have a 1 on “the best squadron vehicle in the game”. Just stop, it’s the worst squadron vehicle in the game

[@shawarmaboii5271]

@@nsdapcommunism2780 how stupid of a reply. I wouldnt call it the best if i had zero experience with it now would i?

[@shawarmaboii5271]

@@nsdapcommunism2780 and considering that the game has gone through a lot of changes ever since the 5 months from my comment, a lot of previously powerful/OP vehicles were hit with nerfs of varying degrees..including the bmp2m.

[@shawarmaboii5271]

@@nsdapcommunism2780 oh, and my k/d? 888 total kills over 337 deaths...that makes it a k/d of 2.63.

[@nsdapcommunism2780]

I dont deny that bmp 2m could have been good previously. Right now its one of the worst ones and the only way to be good at it is to be very passive, basically playing like a rat.@@shawarmaboii5271 I doubt you can have the same k/d now, especially if you play actively. I also believe that you probably perform better on any other vehicle in the same br.

[@Master-of-Thunder]

I play Germany 11.7 and this thing still killes me lol

[@oxide_actual]

So excited to use it. Just researched it and finally grinded to buy it. Now to crew it 🙃 this thing wiped out my sl

[@270eman]

I love it. I researched it partially for a discount and bought it. They moved it to 10.0 battle rating and it doesn't even matter. I take it into 11.0 with the ka-50 and get uptiered and it still dominates. Just have to flank and be sneaky with it. Those ATGMS just smoke everything and being able to top 4 off at once is insane. If you run 10.0 and get down tiered you can just mow everything down.

[@laxmannate07]

The best vic in game. AA and AT missiles. 30mm that rips through everything from the side or rear. Just as good at top tier as its own br.

[@Collat3ralD4mage]

10000% recommend getting the 2M it is op as hell and can destroy an entire team if it flanks well also it can easily kill helis and low flying aircraft better than a lot of spaas at its BR (the 2M should really be 10.3 - 10.7 imo)

[@hyonpyont6609]

A lot of people think that. It's somehow or was a lower br then the puma 😂

[@DerDrecksack87]

​@@hyonpyont6609yeah that was strange, though the Puma is much hardsr to kill and has a derpy armor that can outright eat darts sometimes, the BMP2 dies to a strong gust of wind or a pellet gun...

[@KrisLI1408]

I would say it's definetely the best squadron vehicle, irreplaceable in line-up compare to all those other squadron MBTs.

[@nsdapcommunism2780]

No, it’s one of the worst. Don’t buy it, it’s a scam

[@MageOtter27]

I would love it if you could do a stock to spaded with the AMX 30 BRENUS or AMX10!

[@wifi_soldier5076]

I love is my BR 10.0 soviet lineup. I just wish it was a premium so I got a SL bounce (Yes I put a tailsman on it)

[@fade528]

Who wouldn't talisman it? It's pretty OP.

[@ThommyofThenn]

Ive been working on this for a few months. The 30mm AGL and autocannon are such an interesting combo

[@Daronor01]

just joined a squad to research this vehicel so you had the best timing!

[@KevinPlayzReal]

I think the most important thing about Squadron Vehicles is the Repair cost. I love A-4E, but those repair cost is not good for long run. Compared to BMP-2M under 3K repair cost.

[@dumbysl4w547]

Can you play the ItPsV 90?

[@Recat6217]

Imagine with a modification you can get more crew in the back and either they can go out of the BMP it would take 10-8 seconds and they can shoot RPGs or just be additional crew it should have around 10ish crew I think I forgot how many passengers it can take but ye (the replacement crew would prob be really slow n stuff cuz not experienced)

[@Recat6217]

Or maybe it can be like the April Fools event and you can get your friends in the BMP or sum and they can exit and shoot n stuff

[@DerDrecksack87]

I had the joy of riding in the back of a BMP 2 when our driver decided to take a shortcut trough woods, hitting pretty much everything except the biggest trees, i was bleeding from every unprotected part of my body, that thing has very little in padding & a lot of sharp edges (had this in most APCs/IFVs like the Marder), i can't imagine the horror of 10 guys + gear stuffed in there, i doubt they really pack it to the brim. But it is truly a beauty, simple yet elegant.

[@caleblee8206]

+ fire on the move idk if you mentioned that in the video

Is finding the love of your life who love you back the same way any good? Joking aside, this thing is just amazing... if your going soviet, there is legit no reason at all to skip this. Even at 11.7 this can a tank you can use, and not as just a backup.
