| - | ====== Common OPFOR Vehicles ====== | ||
| - | ===== BTR APC Family ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== BRDM ==== | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | This four wheeled scout car is about as strong as a BTR, but faster. Tankers, watch out for the ATGM version! | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== BTR-60PB ==== | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | The oldest BTR in RHS, the BTR-60 sports a 14.5mm KPVT and a 7.62 PKT. The 60 is short and stocky, and can be penetrated 12.7mm and can be disabled by destroying the wheels. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== BTR-70 ==== | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | The longer and uglier version of the BTR-60, the 70 has the same armament and weaknesses as the former. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== BTR-80 ==== | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | The difference between the 80 and 70 is negligible. The 80 has smoke canisters mounted on the back of the turret for self defense. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== BTR-80A ==== | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | The 80's younger brother, the 80A has an auto cannon, as well as a coaxial PKT. If you come up against this guy, find hard cover and engage when it is distracted. The auto cannon is deadly. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== BTR-90 ==== | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | The newest edition to the BTR family, the 90 is a lethal weapons platform. Sitting on top of a modernized BTR chassis rests 2 ATGM launchers and a 30MM 2A42 auto cannon. Odds are that the crew of this vehicle will see you before you see them, so stay alert. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== BMD IFV Family ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== BMD-1 ==== | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | All BMDs follow the same progression as the BMPs: cannon, auto cannon, auto cannon and cannon. Where the BMDs and BMPs vary is the BMD is smaller, quicker, and designed to be para-dropped in alongside the VDV. RATs can kill them no problem. Note the anti tank rocket on the cannon. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== BMD-2 ==== | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | < | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== BMD-4 ==== | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | < | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== BMP IFV Family ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== BMP-1 ==== | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | A vehicle commonly used by the Takistanis, the BMP-1 has a stubby cannon, coaxial PKT, and a wire-guided anti tank rocket. The BMP-1, like the BMP-2 and 3, is amphibious. Most RATs can knock this old boy out. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== BMP-2 ==== | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | The BMP-2 has the same chassis as the 1, however the turret is repositioned to fit it's devastating auto cannon. It also has a METIS wire guided AT missile launcher on the top. MAT/HAT recommend, but can be knocked out with RAT. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== BMP-3 ==== | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | As the Russians are want to do, they mixed the 1 and 2 to make the 3. Armed with a cannon capable of firing ATGMs, and an auto cannon, this bad boy knows how to mess BLUFOR up. MAT/HAT recommended, | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== T-XX Tank Family ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== T-55 ==== | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | A favorite of extremist groups and the Soviet reserve armies, the T-55 is a clunky piece of hardware. It's cannon is outdated and it can easily be knocked out by a LAT. RATs be warned, this dinosaur still has a coaxial PKT machinegun. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== T-72 ==== | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | Don't let age deceive you, this old man packs a punch. Armed with a cannon capable of firing AP, HE-FRAG, and APFDS, the T-72 is a classic force to be reckoned with. The 72 has a loud growling diesel engine. Recommend you get MAT/HAT, but it can be knocked out by an AT-4 to the rear. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== T-80 ==== | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | A look back to the old days of rounded turrets, the T-80 is a common sight on our virtual battlefields. The cannon and coax are the same as the T-72. Note the flipped T-80 in the background, this tank is a speed demon! It's speed comes from it's whiny turbine engine. It sounds more like a jet than a tank. Get MAT/HAT to handle this one. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== T-90 ==== | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | The Russians mixed the T-80 and T-72 to make this monster. Armed with a CROWS NSVT and a devastating cannon, the 90 will ruin any tankers day. It has an improved diesel engine so it has a loud, ominous growl. MAT/HAT recommended. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Helicopters ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Mi-8/Mi-17 " | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | This ungainly beast is a favorite for the Russians. It has many different variants, from transport to the feared " | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Mi-24 " | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | Often seen escorting Hips or running CAS, the Hind is the Russian answer to the NATO AH-64 Apache. Note that this is //not// an attack bird--it is an **assault** helicopter. The Hind has a passenger compartment that can hold up to eight soldiers. It was designed to level an area with sweeping rocket and gun runs, then deploy specialists such as a MANPAD unit or a team of sharpshooters. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Ka-52 " | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | |||
| - | The Alligator is a younger cousin to the better known Ka-50 "Black Shark" | ||
