M242 Bushmaster is incredibly weak

Recommended Posts

The LAV-25 in my scenarios plays a great role but I've been disapointed to realize the vehicle was very weak especially versus the old fashioned BMP2.

IRL, the chain gun make up for thin armor by firing APDS-T at long range (effective range of 3000m). Well enough to defeat BMP2 with a few rounds.

But in the game, it takes 20+ APDS-T rounds to defeat the rear armor (where the gas tank are) of a BMP2 !

If you add to this the missing commander M240 on turret, the LAV-25 is really a shame in the game. BIS if you read me, please fix this APC, or at least explain me why the main gun is so underpowered.

I've taken out a T-72 with the m-242 with only 15-20 shots in the turret...

I think it's more of a damage modeling issue with armor

BIS is not doing serious work here, ACE will do the job later on trying to model with the given functionality something that comes closer to the reality.
