Platoon Review: BMP-1 (USSR)

After it's release, months ago, I finally got the Platoon of the BMP-1 IFV and I am going to review it to assist in maybe making a new owner for it. I will now describe the pros and cons of each vehicle in the platoon and how to use it properly.

Starting with the main vehicle, the BMP (picture 2), specifically the BMP 1 with the Igla missile. It's the first BMP we ever had in this game and I hope we get more BMPs. The BMP 1 performs very well in long and mid range engagements. You need to be fast with it or else you die by ANYTHING. You could use it to train for Top Tier. It's main shells are: HEAT and HE, the HE is useless dont bother. The Igla missile is great, but you still need to aim for it to be effective. I was surprised when I saw how fast it reloaded. The BMP-1 is great, but you need to know the game and it's tactics or else you die. 8/10

The IS-3 or Iosef Stalin 3 (picture 3) is THE Russian bias vehicle in the Platoon. Scary to face from the front as it's near IMPENETRABLE unless you have HEATFS or APFSDS (which you won't have in Tier 6 OR 7).Speaking of ammo, the IS3 has the basic APHE rounds at its disposal with a secondary HE, which I don't use a lot. You defeat this beast by "breaking its legs" and driving around it. Even tho it's a force, it isn't unstoppable, neither is it immovable, it's a demigod for lack of a better word. Just remember, it isn't a Tiger 1, don't angle it. It's a Heavy alright 9/10

The Object 268 (picture 4). Wow, what a TITAN. Based on the chassis of the T10M (Yes I am serious) it's hull is also impenetrable from the front, the cannon is huge and easily shootable, I mean it's in 152mm, same as the KV-2. And like the KV-2 it's main shell is not the more usable choice. The HE is where this thing is the actual monster. You can one shot ANY THING when you either: "slap them in the face" or Bonk their heads. They die, GUARANTEED. 10/10

I dont have much to say about the platoons SPAA, since its just a ZSU-57-2 which I think everyone who plays the game is already familiar with. Drivable ammo rack, but holy shit is it a rat. 7/10

My recent highest kill game with this was 12 kills. And most of them were done by the Obj268.

I am happy with the whole platoon and I hope that I can soon review any other platoon of your liking

Have fun.
