BRDM-2 First Look | Arma Reforger 1.3

The BRDM-2 is an armored recon vehicle with a KPVT 14.5. In refrogger conflict I think it will be the main fighting vehicle on the soviet side because it does not have the large passenger transport capacity of a BTR-70.

The control for gunner is animated now. Cool

Honestly would be cool if there was an emergency exit function for vehicles that basically makes your character throw themselves off a vehicle, since the current exit animations are a bit slow and make your character stand on the vehicle for a moment, which isn't ideal if you're under fire. They could make it like the "eject" function in Arma 3 that would make you exit vehicles faster.

Reforgers approach to vehicles is fantastic, where other games it feels like you BECOME the tank, this game truly feels like you are a crew INSIDE a tin can, especially when you play first person only. I hope we get this quality in A4, with a full content package at release

[tiberius]

I really don't like that the prisms in the BTR and BRDM are still not functional (same for rear view mirrors btw) and that you HAVE to open that hatch to look out - only straight to the front. You can't even put your face closer to that windshield, which I would assume you would do if the view was limited like that. It's one reason many just use third person when in a vehicle, because the way it's implemented you can't see crap.

the rear flap and trim vane being animated when in water is great, would be cool if it was a manual interaction though

This game really is spectacular. It has improved so very much since I bought it day 1 and found myself quite disappointed. BI are putting a lot of thought & time into Reforger and I suspect that doing so is gaining them a great deal of valuable experience with building an Arma game on Enfusion (ahead of Arma 4). I wonder how many Reforger devs will end up working on A4

[bossda]

i wonder if spotlights will become a bigger part of night time combat, could make the soviet faction king of night-time fighting if they improve spotlights, they could even make other spotlights controllable (UAZ, MI-8)

[Generic]

I honestly cant wait for them to add more armored vehicles like tanks and IFVs, though it wouldnt really make all that much sense considering Arland is kind of like an Island.

Remember, you are Recce. Not supposed to get indirect contact. Unless you need to bug out. Sending up Situation Reports on Enemy movement and grid locations and capability. This is someone who is currently an armoured recce guy in British Army.

I’m excited to get this in game. I currently run the BTR quite a bit. I have numerous remote locations on both maps that I’ve found I can park that thing and be a real menace to Hueys depending on the current state of the match. It’ll be nice to both plug this into my current tactics as well as find new places this thing can get to.

In RL you can drive them into a water and swim accross. Jus open the prop hatch at the back and egage it. Can be done without leaving the vehicle. Same for BTR and BMPs

[Swisba]

always thought brdm would be better to have than the btr but now we have both :)

5:46 An arsenal / roadblock would be the ultimate Arma Reforger honeypot kill-zone

[saar_iN]

The vehicle is really cool but "useless" at the moment because its not possible to refuel it. We captured 3 of these in one round and the fuel was already low. It also spawns with like 1/4 of the fuel...

[hungryhedgehog]

I like that you have to actually get to a hatch not just run up and press a button and you are in the vehicle. Makes you think about where to put the vehicle for disembarking.

Thank you, i was waiting for this review. I love soviet technology. Like

[TheChunkyMunk]

3:02 I agree they should be separate, I also found this irritating, otherwise it is nice to finally have searchlights we can aim

[stevemc]

GHPC taught me to not underestimate the KPV, lost a lot of high tech TTS gunsights to Soviet APCs haha

[darthgonk]

I wonder if they improved the btr-70’s amphibious animation because when you drive it in water none of the amphibious components deploy such as the propeller and the front face bit

[crappyediting]

I'd love to see the bmp and maybe the lav or Bradley one day
