T-72 VS M2 Bradley || Gunner, Heat, PC!

[@GaldirEonai]

The log you were confused about is an actual piece of wood carried by a lot of soviet tracked vehicles from WW2 to the end of the Cold War. They were handy and cheap tools for getting a bogged-down tank out of a mud pit. And sometimes, they doubled as additional spaced armor...:P

@@neferpoyaz4037 LOL not really. empty spaces can be critical to composite armor, but it's not the empty space doing the work, it's the deflection between layers that space can allow, but the space isn't doing the work. Just air won't stop EFP's, see 155 BONUS. Though, incredibly primitive HEAT projectiles can be sufficiently hindered by cardboard or empty space. But not HEAT type ammunition as a whole.

[@sileo9987]

Speaking as a former gunner for the M2A3 version, a lot of that was highly inaccurate unfortunately. Tracking targets for a TOW hit needs to be much more careful, and planned. Reticle always on in center of target, the TOW can't jink fast at all, so any quick movement will just screw up the entire trajectory. Also, to reload TOWs the turret has to be aiming roughly 10:30-11:00 and stay in that position without moving as the upper hatch in the dismount area is opened to reload. I can't speak to the accuracy of the 25mm b/c I had always had LRF capabilities, which made shooting the canon a very simple "keep reticle directly on target". Also (and I get this is more a fact that @wolfpack345 can't easily do both at the same time, however) the bradley has a stabilized platform, so sitting still like that through the whole engagement negates a huge advantage the bradley has AND it provides an easy target which adds to the inaccuracies.

[@NDMO2468]

You can fire TOWs while moving? Or are you talking about the autocannon and 7.62

[@rabbitsox]

@@NDMO2468 You cannot fire the TOW while moving. Joshua is referring to the mobility of the Bradley, in that it's a pretty bad idea to simply sit there firing 25mm and TOW missiles without displacing and moving to a new position.

TOWs are a Russian nightmare.

Russian armor would be swiss cheese if it had to face off with our arsenal, TOWs can be mounted on everything, or just fired from a tripod. That's not even including javelins and other anti-armor. Soviet doctrine is just outdated.

[@Revanavarice]

We had the simulators at Fort Riley. Full Crew positions. 16 Brads, 16 Abrams, all interlinked. Pretty much 3-4 mixed companies/troops. And yes, they could all run together simultaneously. Nothing stupid like blue on blue engagements. Its pretty much a task force drowning against a red sea, while two to three frantic tiers of commanders (PLT/Lance, CO/TRP, BN/SQD) are wondering what the fuck is going on as they try to herd armored cats. Figuring it out there saves careers at NTC, and lives deployed. Fallujah had Brads and Abrams shooting it out point blank, and Ramadi we ended up overkill on to stop the uprising before it began. It is fucking surreal to see coax being used to clean friendly brads and tanks of dismounts. The nightmare scenario for us Brads was in motion when T-80's are spotted. If I have to, I can just dump HE on top of a T-72 and laugh as he's blinded. Yeah, I can crack a T-80 with a TOW. I also have to slow down/emplace first (Stabilize will only do so much), and magically have my TOW launcher already cooking. On top of that, I have to launch, and then ride that bitch all the way to target. A tank with ANYTHING loaded in the main gun can burn a Bradley as soon as they can lay the gun on target. After firing TWO tows, you HAVE to rotate your turret into the 10-11, your dismounts in the back are popping their troop hatch, and its a frantic game of hot-potatoing both tubes into the launcher after yanking the spent casings out. You kill something, maybe two, and you scoot back into defilade, going to an alternate firing position if you have to, denying the enemy your silhouette. Fuck holding the ridge, we'll get our kills in, then scoot to other positions alongside, murder some more, and then scoot down the reverse slope and murder them as they crest. Scoot some more, and at some point, we'll know their frontage width, and we are going to start crossfiring as we countermaneuver them in a place they did not have eyes on. The force that fucking holds ground or stays still long enough, is going to get rained on by indirect fire. The only thing we slow down for is to pick up our dismounts so we can battle taxi them to the next fighting position, and they can pop out to deploy javelin. Yes, the simulators have reloading drills, complete with fucking downtime on waiting on my nominal troop bay to load me at least one tube. Yes, unless you are a CAV Brad (as in M3), you will run out fucking quick, and then its the survivors trying to rally together for either a last stand or a death ride together to end the exercise. At that point, I hope my AP bay is reloaded, and yes if I have the rounds, BOTH bays are going to be AP, otherwise I am running that bitch dry until 800m, whereupon the arc on my HE is flat enough that I am scratching off that armor with repeated shots to the same place, typically aiming at the turret ring itself. Kill priority was ATGM/RPG team (if you can identify them, you are in their range), Tank, IFV w/ missile turret, IFV with main gun, then everything else. When working with Abrams, I skip tanks and start hunting down IFVs/APCs, especially if they have ATGMs. Silly moments happen when the sims drop Hinds on us, and the Brads have to pick up AA chores, as the troop commander we are working with is screaming at his CDATs to stop trying to snipe helicopters with sabot, and go back to popping tanks. Yes, some of those morons were silver bulleting at 2km out. As much UI as these games give you (loved hearing the gunnery commands in the background), they do a terrible job in the actual conduct of fire. No its not extra steps you can skip for brevity, if you don't commit the performance step, the system malfunctions or you failed to perform a necessary task. The gun computer on those Bradleys were good, even in Desert Storm trim (A2), set the lase for first or last return, opt to lase short, or fuck it, hope you know your manual indexes, and trust the comp to lead the gun true.

The TOW reload process as viewed in this game is not realistic. In order to reload the TOW launcher after the a missile is fired, the following actions occur: 1. Traverse turret to TOW loading position (5950 mils) 2. Raise TOW Launcher 3. Elevate TOW Launcher to 500 mils 4. Move turret drive switch to off 5. Open cargo hatch to load position 6. Pull down loading handles 7. Remove old missile casings and debris as needed 8. Remove electrical connector cover on new missile 9. Load missile(s) into launcher 10. Close hatch and tell the gunner he’s loaded During this process, you can not engage with the the turret mounted weapons since the TOW, 25mm cannon and coax machine gun are synchronized to elevate and depress together. The orientation of the turret to 5950 mils also indicates the turret is traversed ~20 degrees from the centerline of the BFV and therefore you can not acquire or engage targets with your turret weapons during TOW reload. As a result, most BFV commanders order the vehicle into a turret defilade or hide position during the TOW reloading sequence.

This is far from the reality in Ukraine were all the t72 Russia have are modernized with reactive armor, thermals and ballistic computer. The Bradley will just be taken out by Russian artillery first.

[@4T3hM4kr0n]

@@cottelito92 ahahah...no Russian tanks don't all have thermals and the state of the ERA on their tanks and the overall effectivness is yet to be seen. Russia also DOES NOT produce it's own thermal sights, they import them from france, or they assemble their own sight from imported electronic components.

[@cottelito92]

@@4T3hM4kr0n I'm also laughing at your ridiculousness. Yes all of the gunners have thermals on the old modernized tanks which you should already know, and they manufacture their own thermal sights now (1pn-96mt-02 and new version of sosna u), not catherine FC that you refer to. Yes the reactive armor is not the best on the modernized old tanks compared to t90m but it's still necessary to improve survive ability which can already be seen in Ukraine war. You accuse me of lying and don't even provide evidence for why, that is a joke. Please go ahead and be in denial if it makes you sleep better at night.

[@4T3hM4kr0n]

@@cottelito92 where do you think they get the components for the thermal sights from? Russians simply assemble the finished product, the smaller bits that make up the thermal imager are imported from abroad. Older model T-72 and T-80's don't have thermals for the gunner. Only the T-80UM, T-90, and T-72B3 2016 have thermals.

Worst Wolfpack episode ever 2bh.. And the Bradley only carries 2 TOW`s but seems to be infinte amount of "ammo" in this game and the reload time.... Such realistic "simulator"...

[@Wolfpack345]

You are incorrect. The Bradley does carry TOW reloads.

Realistically, so long as each vehicle has something with range that can destroy the target, the winner is simply the one who sees the other first. Some of the West's equipment is largely invulnerable to Russia's equipment because of the technology gap, but on even terms tanks never could outpace anti-tank equipment and that reality was well understood since WW2 when most heavy tank concepts were last employed. That's not to say tanks and IFVs are not superb platforms for attack, providing exemplary firepower, target acquisition (thermal, IR, radar, etc), fire control (many [Western] vehicles partially aim themselves), and ENOUGH protection to enable an added layer of aggression (all things new Bradley's have). Fun video and topical!

If they are even half as competent as you play here, then in Ukraine they will make mince meat. This game looks quite amazing I put it in my wishlist.
