The cannon on the BMP 1 is pretty bad , i find just easier to use the machine gun that does not have any drop ...
It's weird, having to compensate cannon drop beyond 100m on a APC...
If it is to be designed like the insurgent tow car, then dis-consider this feedback.

0:27 you can see the shell, so it's traveling rather low speed.
BMP-3 2A70 cannon fires 300 m/s but it is rifled cannon. BMP-1 cannon is smooth bore.The muzzle velocity of the OG-9 is 290 m/s (950 ft/s)

It is essentially the same

Both SPG-9 and BMP-1 use the same ammunition (PG-9V grenade), same caliber (73mm), smooth bore.

Re: BMP 1 Cannon DROp
Velocity of PG-9 ammunition at start 400 m/s, when activates engine speed ups to 665 m/s. But PG-9 munition have a "clear" shot 765 meters. Max distance to shoot at armored target 1300m, after PG just self destructed. Also on BMP/BMD-1 can be used grenades like OG-15V. They have "Clear" shot 1200-1300m. And max 4400m.

Re: BMP 1 Cannon DROp
ok so it's like the SPG... i thought so
i just found it weird being so close to a target (100-200m) and having to compensate the drop.
Thanks

Re: BMP 1 Cannon DROp
Hehe, you're complaining about the same thing BMP1 crew did. 
And because of this BMP2 has 30mm gun... which seems like a step back from 73mm in the first version... but it's not.

Re: BMP 1 Cannon DROp
Last time I gunned a BMP 1 the AP rounds did not drop at all and the Frag dropped worse than regular SPG, is this still a thing?

Re: BMP 1 Cannon DROp
The AP has a little drop, I'm sure. The FRAG round is heavier, so it's realistic I guess.Brozef wrote:Last time I gunned a BMP 1 the AP rounds did not drop at all and the Frag dropped worse than regular SPG, is this still a thing?
