The new Soviet infantry combat vehicle was designed with consideration for the strengths and weaknesses of its predecessor, the BMP-1.
The arrival of the BMP-1 infantry combat vehicle in the Soviet Army greatly increased the firepower and mobility of infantry formations on the battlefield. However, there were also significant shortcomings, mainly in the armament department. The 73mm Grom gun, which was installed on the BMP-1 wasn't particularly efficient against infantry units, tanks and low flying air targets. In addition to this, the flight of the trajectory became impossible to predict if even a small crosswind was present. To account for these issues, a decision was made to create a new vehicle based on the BMP-1 with the automatic rifled gun. Among the several projects carried out, the vehicle designed by Kurganmashzavod engineers was acknowledged to be superior to the rest. The BMP-2, which was put into service in 1977, had a similar design to the BMP-1 in terms of the layout and general configuration. However, the turret underwent significant changes. It now had space for two crew members – the gunner and the commander, and the automatic 30mm 2A42 gun became its primary armament. Just like its predecessor, the BMP-2 was fitted with a launcher capable of firing either the Konkurs or Fagot anti-tank guided missiles, which the vehicle could deploy when engaging tank units. The vehicle was regarded as fairly successful, and over the years of its service, the BMP-2 underwent a series of modernizations and modifications directed at improving the vehicle’s defenses and increasing its destructive capability. The BMP-2 remains in service till now and is in great demand abroad.
Fun fact: modern Russian attack helicopters Ka-50 “Black Shark” and Mi-28 “Night Hunter” are also fitted with the automatic 30mm 2A42 gun, located in their rotating turrets.
In War Thunder 1.81, we present the base version of the BMP-2 with the 30mm gun and the Konkurs ATGMs. In combat, this vehicle will make an excellent choice as a support tank: the unit’s primary armament can penetrate the sides or other weak areas of the majority of the Western light armored tanks and combat vehicles. Thanks to its high rate of fire, the 30mm gun can easily take down helicopters, while the Konkurs ATGMs are noticeably more effective when compared to the BMP-1’s Malyutkas and will allow players to target the bulkiest units on the opposing team. Besides, the vehicle possesses great acceleration dynamics and is, of course, amphibious – something that creative commanders can take advantage of. All in all, you should definitely have the BMP-2 in your set for high-rank battles – this versatile vehicle will prove to be effective in many various combat situations!
BMP-2 and other new awesome units coming soon in the upcoming War Thunder 1.81 update: the Valkyries!

M2 Bradley ;)
So, instead of asking for new planes, what about fixing the broken and boring objective structure of Air RB first before we potentially break it further with supersonic tier 6 jets? Attackers and Bombers need to be useful, Team Deathmatch and AF destruction ticket bleeds should be turned off, AI Ground Units and Ships should be weakened to 1.55 levels (plane DMs are pretty much already there, might as well complete the job), and the only win goal should be ticket depletion.
are you guys gunna fix the tier of the begleitpanzer 57 to below 8.7
Just separate it from the WW2 tanks like Jagdpanther, Ferdinand and other Panthers. It has nothing to do with those tanks with ATGM rockets.
Now PLS M1IP and M2 Bradley. :D
In the real world the BMP-2s gun can be fired from both the gunners and the commanders position. Will this be modeled in game so that if the gunner dies the commander won't have to move before firing?
CVR(T) Family of vehicles for UK when?
still, we get alot of goodies but NO Italian tonks . i wonder why did you add italian maps to play with , without a proper ITALIAN TANK TREE!
Bradley? ＼(￣▽￣)/ M1IP/M1A1? (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ
I actually feel sorry for the people that work at Gaijin. It seems that people here just never stop complaining no matter what they do. I mean seriously have you ever read through some of these? On second thought I feel sorry for the people that are never happy and never stop complaining. look at all the cool stuff we've been getting and all they can say is what no more planes? We get an awesome tank and they complain its OP. There's a hand full of vehicles that can take it head on and littera
literally 20 that can out maneuver and kill it. What do these people want? Every single tank to be the same except in terms of appearance? They put out and keep improving and adding to a FREE TO PLAY game and all some people can do is constantly complain. It's sad. Honestly, read through the comments on these sometime if you think I'm over reacting or exaggerating.
