The BMP-3M is a Tier 7 progression Armored Fighting Vehicle under Sophie Wölfli's dealership.

History[ | ]

Class: Infantry Fighting Vehicle
Developed: 1990s
Service: 1999+
Vehicles Built: cca 200
Operators: Russia, Venezuela, Azerbaijan

The BMP-3M variant was a late 1990s attempt at a major modernization of the BMP-3 that included a more powerful engine, a better FCS and improved gun-launched ATGMs. Other improvements included the option to install the Arena-E hard-kill APS. An unknown number of these vehicles was built for both the Russian Federation and for export but the production run was likely limited. It's worth noting that there are several vehicles with the BMP-3M designation (including the Derivatsiya and the Dragun) and even usually reliable sources often contradict each other. The actual number of users and produced vehicles is therefore unknown.

Vehicle Traits[ | ]

  • Harder to Spot: When moving slowly, this vehicle does not lose any camouflage and can effectively creep around.
  • Designate Target: This vehicle has the ability to designate targets that are within its line of sight. Designated targets are marked to other players and take increased damage.
  • Amphibious: This vehicle is more resistant to taking on water, allowing it to traverse wider rivers or lakes.
  • Recon Package: This vehicle's set of advanced optics provides an improved vision range when stationary.
  • Troop Compartment: This vehicle features a troop compartment, allowing you to repair your modules faster and to capture objectives more effectively.
  • Extra Autocannon: This vehicle is armed with a coaxial autocannon, providing extra firepower against light targets.
