Today we’re checking out the BMD-4M2, a new rank VI light tank for the USSR!
BMD-4M2: A Light Tank for the USSR at Rank VI
At a glance:
- 100 mm gun with HE shells and ATGMs
- 30 mm autocannon
- Good mobility
- Excellent thermal imager
In 2014, Kurganmashzavod developed and submitted a new light tank design for testing, one based on the BMP-3 that was already in mass production. This modification was designated as the BMD-4M2 and was equipped with the Sinitsa weapon system from the BMP-3 with an advanced panoramic sight. It retained the powerful and diverse armament set up of the BMP-3 as well, consisting of a 100 mm cannon-launcher, 30 mm autocannon, and a 7.62 mm PKTM machine gun. The BMD-4M2 successfully passed tests and was adopted by the Russian Army in 2016.
Introducing the BMD-4M2!
A new modification of the proven premium BMD-4M is now coming to the Soviet research tree! Meet the BMD-4M2 “Sinitsa”, which will likely become your favorite top-tier light tank when the Tusk Force major update releases if you play the Soviet ground forces tree. Here’s why!
The BMD-4M2 differs from its premium variant in its new turret design. It features the Sinitsa weapon system from the BMP-3 with a new panoramic sight and high-resolution thermal imager for the commander and gunner. It’s weaponry is also taken from the BMP-3, sporting the excellent combination of a 100 mm main gun and a 30 mm autocannon. The 100 mm 2A70 cannon can fire two types of high-explosive rounds, but it has another trick up its sleeve! It can launch a tandem-charge ATGM, a max of four of these can be taken into battle. Despite this, you’ll likely find that the 30 mm autocannon will end up becoming your primary weapon. It can easily take down helicopters and IFVs, and even MBTs when engaging from the side and the rear, which won’t be too difficult thanks to the high speed of the BMD.
Largely shared from the BMP-3, the BMD-4M2’s chassis features a high power-to-weight ratio and a speed of up to 70 km/h. Its also amphibious, and can traverse over water at a relatively respectable speed of around 10 km/h.
While you can’t expect miracles in terms of protection for these kinds of vehicles, the BMD-4M2 can at least withstand heavy machine guns from the front, and some poorly placed autocannon rounds as well. Generally speaking though, any hit from a conventional tank cannon will likely cause serious damage. Make sure to use your smoke grenades to retreat where possible, just don’t smoke off your teammates!
That’s it for the BMD-4M2, this new light tank will be joining rank VI of the USSR research tree when the Tusk Force major update releases. It’s coming real soon!
Please note that this vehicle’s characteristics may be changed before it is added to the game.

Comments will be premoderatedHow many light vehicles does RU have compared to the other TTs? Why do they have a monopoly on light vehicles with autocannons. Equally develop each tree.
Feel free to use our Suggestion Section and suggest new vehicles there.
Russia has the least light tanks (rank 3+) out of all of the big 4, what are you talking about?
Can't wait to see (hopefully) the addition of the BMD-1/ 2 or 3! :D
ARE YOU GUYS SERIOUS the bmd/bmp-3 spam is going to get even worse
I would reather see it at 10.3 with APFSDS rounds as an equivalent to BMP-2M
Yay! new rat
More targets for pest control players :D
Finally one for the tech tree
yeah, same BR as event and prem while having worse ATGM reload time of 10s
I know right? Only took them 4 years, 1 month, 23 days since their promise to add a TT one! Albeit an even worse one compared to the event bmd! So just a diet bmp 3.
Its like the event one just with worse reverse speed, why should you research this ? And even then theres also the Prem one which even comes with addon armor this one is using the same transmission but no addon armor so its actually worse than the other two.
Because not everyone got the event vehicle from years ago nor wants to pay for the premium and having a free researchable tech tree option is always the best ?
2S14 Zhalo-S por favor
why add this particular BMD-4 variant if it's basically a BMP-3 copy while making it a step higher in BR than BMP-3? i'm talking about the nerf of ATGM autoloader here, 10s for ATGM is just bad...
Hello, as can be seen in the image where it's in the water, will the same feature to prevent water from entering the engine be added to the other vehicles currently in the game?
