The BRDM-2 and You

[A. Reaper]

BRDM2 is really funny thing in PR. I can remember a moment at Kozelsk. We were militants and operated the Spandrel. So we decided to go to F8 sector and were waiting for enemy tanks. Driver left the vehicle with a gunner and began searching surroindings for targets. BRDM began sliding off to the water and flipped What a shame... The gunner was trying to rotate rocket launcher but BRDM didn't want to overflip and continued sliding to water. When BRDM touched the water surface it was smoking badly but survived and overflipped in water. Thanks to russian engineers who made this thing able to swim and DEVs who made it in PR!

PS: I think the wheels should be bigger than they are now in PR
PPS: BRDM on Asad Khal (MEC vs GB) was an epic asset!

Asad Khal is IDF v Hamas (or was it Taliban). I think you may mean Burning Sands, a map with armor, trans choppers, and Apache/Havoc. Then again, I think MEC armor is only BTR-60 (or 70), BMP-3, some AA vehicle, and T-72.

Also, at least on COOP, a bunch of M16s and MGs can eventually kill a BRDM-2. Noticed it when in trouble with no AT on Muttrah and Al Basrah COOP. Never seen a BRDM-2 used on Deployment.

As you can see by post dates this thread is old; that post is in reference to when Asad Khal was GB v MEC, the latter having a single non-respawning BRDM.

The MEC no longer use the BRDM's in PR, they've been replaced by the MTLB and its variants.

i like to use it with infantry.. if i grab on of those i usually stick with an infantry squad providing them cover and helping them out with fire support... it gives the averange squad really a boost

Killed a BRDM with the L85 on Vadso once, it somehow managed to kill a Warrior APC ಠ_ಠ

It's gun is the same as the BTR series, except for the 80A with the 30mm, so especially on the rear door of APCs it can kill them pretty good. The main issue with apc hunting in the brdm is it only takes a few hits to kill the brdm, so head on you will lose, and it takes more than 1 belt of ammo to kill most apcs, so you need a spot to fallback and reload at.
