Gunner, HEAT, PC! - The BMP-2

Next up in the "All GHPC Vehicles" Series, we are taking a closer look at the Soviet BMP-2 IFV, it's history and it's combat performance.

The april's fools version of that mission was wild, there were two waves of helicopters, enemy CAS kept pummelling you and one platoon of Abrams behind the M60A3 platoon. Great video as usual. Edit: if you tried the beta the devs ran on steam a few days ago you might have seen that the AI buddies reversed with you in it, as the kids would say "pog"

[@akkapamagaming]

Oh my god that sounds amazing! Wish I was there for it! And that AI behaviour sounds very promising. Can't wait for improvements like that because the way AI currently reacts at the moment really breaks the immersion. Thanks for your comment! Always appreciate seeing you here!

[@samargrewal929]

great work also fun fact : one of the modification's done by soviet BMP-2 crew's in Afghanistan was striping a AGS-17 30mm automatic grenade launcher on the top of the turret . also when the soviet arrive the east german BMP-2 in-game will be gone as they did not get any intel 1986 and only 24

[@akkapamagaming]

Lmao, because the 800rpm 30mm autocannon wasn't enough! Also it makes sense it disappears from East Germany in that case. As long as it returns with the Ruskies! Thanks for your comment as always, Samar! I always appreciate it!

[@Hooah92]

Cav scout here. While I'm biased towards the Bradley of course, I gotta say the BMP-2 is a dirty little beast of a machine

[@Rokaize]

The gun is pretty excellent that’s for sure.

[@moorjoor2484]

amazingly underrated. i hope you grow a lot more! i’ve been looking for a good GHPC youtuber for a while and i think ive struck gold.

[@akkapamagaming]

Thanks Moorjoor, your words are too kind! I hope to have some free time soon to make another video, but people like you definitely keep my focus on this KZbin channel. Thank you!

[@robingrewal8103]

Great work Also fun fact: not only is the bmp2s autocannon used on the mi-28 but also the KA-50

[@releasethekraken5039]

The Kamov KA-50 and KA-52 also use the same autocannon as on the BMP-2. But on those helicopters its mounted on the right side of the fusilage with limited traverse

[@prometheus_tdd]

Good, another video! I love this thing, the BMP-2 just looks like a proper IFV. Also the short history lesson in the start is a great addition.

[@akkapamagaming]

Thanks for your comment, always happy to see you in my comment section!

[@moistcurtains]

Just found your channel. Fantastic videos, dude.

[@akkapamagaming]

Thank you so much!

[@tomgarrett7740]

When you’re close to a tank, you can switch to HE and aim for the optics. The vision ports also work well on the commanders cupola. The shell will often detonate inside the system and send the fragments into the fighting compartment.

[@justrussia607]

I got this video randomely recommended to me and i gotta say i love your content man keep it up

[@Fercyful]

Great videos !! Thanks 💯 GHPC 🤘

[@unfortunately_fortunate2000]

I absolutely love your videos dude, keep them coming!

[@akkapamagaming]

Thank you so much! I will 😁

[@Bismarck9771]

Epic video my guy keep up this amazing work I’m currently trying to save up for a computer to get this game you make it look so fun

[@akkapamagaming]

That's awesome, hope you'll be able to get a good game PC soon! But I don't really do anything else but just play the game. The game is just a lot of fun! I can't even imagine how flipping good it'll be once multiplayer is implemented! Thanks for your comment, appreciate it as always!

[@rpersen]

Great video. You deserve way more subs m8. Best regards from Norway.

[@akkapamagaming]

Thanks for your comment, rpersen! Much appreciated!

[@Mach-2-Fishbed]

I hope that at some point in the future we get to switch between the 2 RoF modes as well as the option to use the commanders AA sight. Though it is nice that the Konkurs is modeled as its own independent system. Would have liked to see that hit at 8:40 in the AAR though, was it Sabot that just passed through empty space or shattered on an odd impact angle?

[@akkapamagaming]

Hey, thanks for your comment! Yeah I forgot to add that AAR one in the end there but it indeed passed straight through the infantry compartment, clean in and out. So, other than some mushed infantry in the back, everything was fine!

[@HotTacticalBoyfriendOfficial]

I know I say this every time, but you really are making such high quality videos: the production values are sincerely impressive! Have you had any formal training in this area, or are you self-taught?

[@akkapamagaming]

Thank you so much Jim, I always appreciate it! I haven't had any training, so I suppose you can say I'm self-taught. However, I do work as a Broadcast Camera Operator for news stations, TV shows, talk shows, etc. So I definitely learn a lot from the job and try and use a lot of the same techniques. :)

[@RatMilk6847]

I’m bazzled about how you don’t get thousands of views every video

[@akkapamagaming]

Thanks for your comment! Maybe one day I'll reach a larger audience, maybe not. Either way, I'm happy making these videos and I do enjoy that at this stage, at least I'm still able to talk with everybody who comment on my videos! Although I do hope to reach a larger audience at some point, just so I can start earning some money with it, which would then lead me to be able to work less and spend more time on making these videos! Either way, I'm happy! Love making these videos and I'm in it for the long run. Take care!

[@s0uthern_p0st]

On that GHPC grind. 💪💪🔥 But really I respect your determination into the work even if it doesn't reach a huge audience, still love checking out your channel and videos.

Gotta start somewhere, 10 secs into the video I already subbed lol

Man you just sold me the game…

The game sells itself, it's really good and fun and it'll only get better from here on out!

If ever a game needed co-op multicrew so badly.

[@donshaso140]

From the perspective of model quality and simulation, how do you think of GHPC when comparing it with Steel Beats? I really want a suggestion since I don't know which one to choose

[@akkapamagaming]

Hi! I haven't played Steel Beasts yet myself because I don't really like the pricing system used for it and I'm kinda broke lmao. But I have seen some videos about Steel Beasts and from what I can see, it's definitely oriented on realism. It's a hardcore armored warfare simulator. For example, the vehicles in Steel Beasts seem to have fully functional interiors, something that we don't have in GHPC. And it offers more realistic ballistics against armor as well. When looking at graphics, it's very clear that GHPC looks a lot better. I think, maybe try GHPC first to see if you enjoy a lite armored warfare sim. And then once you sort of mastered GHPC and you still enjoy it, try Steel Beasts!

[@donshaso140]

I am glad that you replyed me in details and I gonna try GHPC first as you recommended! Hope there will be more pve contents in the future@@akkapamagaming

[@robingrewal8103]

​@@donshaso140 if you want a good tank light sim with modren tanks ( not like there are any made past the year 2000 ) get GHPC it is a good balance of realistic fire control systems and unified controls On the other hand you want a full on simulator similar to DCS . And a game what fully models the inter and all the systems of a modern MBT or IFV get steel beast pro pe. You could also try both it's not like you can only play one

[@davesthrowawayacc1162]

You wouldn't have too much issue penetrating the side and back armour of the M48's with AP rounds, I know because I've ran multiple tests on the ultrarealistic physical modelling software Warthunder

[@sciencespectrum3855]

Armored warfare vs ghpc which one is best 😕

[@akkapamagaming]

I mean, they are two very different games about the same subject. GHPC is definitely more simulator oriented. Whereas Armored Warfare is more of a arcade style game, like War Thunder. So the answer to your question depends on what you like more in games. Realism or entertainment. 😁

[@sciencespectrum3855]

@@akkapamagaming but the armored warfare is also realistic but not like ghpc and i think Armored warfare has much potential than ghpc ,what do you think 🤔?

[@rafa221]

​@@sciencespectrum3855being honest... I'm an Armored Warfare player, and I find GHPC better just by looking at it's gameplays! I started to play it because I'm bad as hell in War Thunder, so I was looking for a game that is realistic but also fun (I mean, with a single player mode), and GHPC is just like that! Realistic, but single player. I would love to try it someday.

[@ballatinesfinesse2753]

15:39 lol in warthunder the tank would be dead the first 3 shots 🤣

[@go_rongor5975]

It's disappointing to see enemy AI being non existent. How can you even enjoy this. Enemy vehicles simply stood there as static targets, not even attempting to evade when the ATGMs launched by your platoon impacted around them. Also not sure why the enemy helos would fly so stupidly close into your vicinity and not even attempting to pull back when you start trying to gun them. Instead they did some low altitude dancing basically waiting to eventually get shot by your next salvo. GHPC looks cool and might be a good foundation for a good low level simulation game, yet in this state of pathetic enemy "AI" it seems as challenging as hitting someone who's in deep sleep.

[@Austrium1483]

True but the AI got an update a few days ago. This video was recorded before that

[@francoisassatlien8642]

according to Janes and Steelbeasts 3UBR6 APBC-T can do 51mm of Flat RHAe ... not 20.

[@akkapamagaming]

All my sources vary from 25mm at 700 meters to 20mm at 800 meters. So that's what I'm going on. I haven't seen a single source claiming more than 25mm of penetration from the 3UBR6. So that's what I'm sticking to :)

[@francoisassatlien8642]

@@akkapamagaming yOU DIDN'T SPECIFY RANGE IN THE VIDEO. you think the round gains energy at 800m? NOtice at 800 its "20" at 700 its "25" seeing a trend? Conservative estimates put it at 51mm at 250. If you wanna use the 5mm + every 100m closer . 8- 20 7- 25 6 30 - 5 35 4- 40 3-45 2-50 muzz 55. But that's not how ballistics work, 51 flat pen at combat PB is correct.
