it should have IRST and a laser range finder, and as the 2A42 is a slovakian made ones, it has the capability to use the M929 APFSDS, but i'm not quite sure if it's used on the BMP-2MD IRL. So it could be like the BMP-2M but without the missiles if Gaijin chose to do so

it should also have thermal camouflage - it's integral part of the system and none of the updated vehicles didn't get it

[@ggggggghg499]

The 2A42 is quite accurate in real life, provided it gets regular proper maintenance and quality parts Russia does not do neither so they made the 2A72 which is an incredibly simplified version you can just keep using till the barrel falls out

[@burningsinner1132]

2A72 got fewer parts, but not exactly simplified. If anything, 2A42 does NOT use reciprocating barrel, trading recoil for accuracy. 2A72 does, however, resulting in limited ROF (Can only cycle it so hard before things go flying everywhere), but providing less vibrations (That happens when you cut your effective recoil by 65%) being able to be mounted as coaxial gun (BMP-3), on light armored vehicles (BTR-82A) and even some MRAPs (As part of Universal MB2 and BM-30-D "Spitsa" (Spoke) weapon stations).

It looks amazing on paper, it takes the great autocannon of the 9040 and pairs it with ATGMs. In reality though, you only get a low speed stabilizer and the launcher will deploy by the time the battle is over. Not a horrible vehicle but it can be quite unfun sometimes.

(Maybe like a 1-2 br leniency) -A wheel that decides what vehicles (air or ground). Either reroll before every match or just do it once, your choice.

I love the A-10 sound when you fire an auto cannon, quite humorous.

[@commanderdon4300]

It's amazing how durable these Soviet tanks are in the game, when a T-90 in Ukraine got fucked up by a Bradleys 25mm cannon just a few months ago.

[@jonathanskipper9796]

2 things: war thunder does not simulate damage over time. So, 25mm in real life could tear away at the armor components with subsequent shots. But, more importantly, it matters a lot more in real life when your tracks, optics, cameras, and other external components get damaged. Same with the A-10. In game it’s decently effective at doing mobility damage, but sometimes struggles to actually get kills. In the game, getting your engine knocked out is mildly annoying. In real life, having everything on the outside of your tank reduced to shrapnel, and losing your engine is a much bigger deal. Not to mention the psychological terror and effect of being pounded by an autocannon or 2.

[@ThatGuyOrby]

@@jonathanskipper9796 There's also the matter of mechanical flaws not being represented. T-72, T-80, and T-90 tanks have a rather serious flaw in the fact that the horizontal turret drive seems to be very prone to malfunction even from hits that do not defeat the armor either jamming it or sending it into a perpetual spin if the turret was rotating when it was hit. I think there would be some rather serious complaints from the player base if suddenly a non-penetrating hit had a high chance of doing that to said tanks in game.
