The American M3 Bradley IFV was one of the first infantry vehicles added to War Thunder, and though it was quite potent in the past, changes Gaijin made to ATGM physics have hampered it a bit.

I second this

Hopefully we get the M6 Linebacker one day.
You know what would be funny ? Playing the Abrams as an anti-air with its HEAT-MP
does it have enough elevation, though?
That would be interesting but it would only really be useful on heli’s tho.
@@rgaeaben8043 And low flying aircraft too but hey, isn’t that what makes it challenging ?
@@philfree286 Fair point. I should try that some time.
I forgot what does MP mean

2:41, funny story, during an FTX I slept through a gunfight, all night long the M240Bs and M4s were going off along with simulated morters, next morning I woke up and the FTX was over, we packed up and went home. I just slept through the entirething and nobody bothered to wake me up.
so did you combat unit just stay in one spot and didn't need to maneuver anywhere during the exercise?

I serve on a Bradley IRL and having shot several TOW missiles in my time, the fact that this is what Gaijin considers "realistic" TOW handling is extremely insulting 😂
What are they really like? I've seen a couple vids from ukraine and they're probably using the tow2a and seem pretty effective
Well, they're out to bait you
@MrRaZzA1995 they definitely do not literally "drop" out of the tube unless your launcher isn't boresighted at all, and if you actually have to maneuver them midair they don't overcorrect as much. There's also a delay IRL between pulling the trigger and the missile launching which I'm glad isn't in game cause that would be annoying 😂
@@KevinTheBoar The delay would still be more usable than the missile meeting itself at the laser
@@CareerGamer2012 the delay is like three or four seconds lol, probably not actually that bad but it feels like an eternity when youre just sitting there hoping you dont have a live misfire sitting in the tube
Spookston just casually giving himself ww2 flashbacks by watch Band of Brothers while in a fugue state.
fugue state? like breaking bad?
Spent most of my Army Career is a Bradley, sat in every seat of the crew. I loved almost every minute of it, except for when we gave it an AC unit in Iraq and it would never start on its own again because it was overloaded lol. Almost everything people use to think about the Bradley came from the Pentagon Games which was mostly b.s. Nice to see it getting respect in game, and irl finally.
and side note, as a former 19D Cavalry Scout... I'm pleased you pronounced Cavalry correct. So many people say Calvary....like a hill is coming to do anything.
One of the good things about the Bradley is when the first TOW missle misses you can immediately fire a second missle (to miss)

@@StaffordMagnus geez louise
spookston, as an irl Bradley Mechanic in the US Army, I have to say that I appreciate you putting the good word about the Brad out into the universe. I for once know first hand that this thing is a fucking beast. Seen it do some serious heavy lifting, and has out performed the M1 series of tank in literally every aspect when we have tested it at places like JMRC, NTC, JRTC, etc. And now with the Ukies using them, I'm glad it's getting more recognition. The thing is designed to keep the crew safe, and by god does it fucking do it well. It can absolutely kill tanks, helicopters, and other things. The Army is finally realizing this with the success in Ukraine, and have even begun fielding the AMPV (Brad with no Turret, a true 113 replacement) and a bunch of other things. For us Bradley guys, we are thrilled people see how fucking sick this thing is in real time.
I know an Army infantry guy who's a dismount in Bradleys, he is absolutely stoked. Like he'll tell you it's not a perfect vehicle and it can be a pain in the ass sometimes (literally), but watching one bully a T-90 after everyone shat on it for so long is like watching an underdog movie
"the tow on the m901"
My dyslexic ass: what version of the paladin has a tow launcher
😮💨😮💨
I said the same damn thing, and then was even more confused when I realized what he meant
Wow, I loved when the TOW said "I am an ATGM post-guidance change" and went into the ground to do nothing, bravo Chadley!!
Gotta love watching actual footage of TOWs coming out of every launcher known to man and they drop maybe a couple inches on launch, then Gaijin goes 'ah yes, they must drop actual feet below path on launch!'
Add to that the problem with ATGM's that they skip around where you aim, it gets really annoying at long ranges (where atgms excel) where your missle goes like a degree off of where you aim.
@@julianturberfield7101Gaijin: “Yes, we pride ourselves on realism.”
Meanwhile: “Hey, why can’t I climb this 20 degree hill? And why did my missile decided to become a digging tool? And why am I fighting 50s Cold War vehicles and old WWII tanks in my tank from the 70s?”
Sometimes I feel like the missile doesn't really know where it is
Attempt number 41 at getting Spookston to play any tank with a dozer blade, the catch is, he has to dig in before engaging targets. Movement around the map is allowed, but he has to dig in again before reengaging.
Yes I wanna see this so bad 😂
You could've just said "Fck you Spook I wanna see you suffer"
That’s torture
@@dailyfunny9 which is perfect for a spookston vid
why yall so mean to him lmao
"Bushmaster should be able to pen the sides MBT's, with relative ease"
Fuck, i hate when he rhymes
It took an actual conflict for people to realize 'minor' things like, I dunno, crew comfort, survivability and ergonomics actually tend to matter.
Like, one thing about the BMP-2 is that while you *can* fire the gun in unrestricted mode the turret has next to no ventilation so the crew will very quickly choke themselves out under any kind of sustained fire.
Yes those are extremely important things that people judging vehicles by "hard stats" never realise. And for me that's a perfect lithmus test in discussions about military vehicles on whether the person has a real idea on what he's talking about or whether his entire knowledge comes from video games and youtube videos.
I remember years ago talking to a veteran who served on IS-2 tank. I loved it as a kid, what kid wouldn't love such a lumbering beast with a massive 122mm gun? But the guy didn't exactly do. The biggest problem that for him basically disqualified this tank from being considered a good construction was exactly the ventilation problems, as after firing the gun the turret turned into a gas chamber. They had to go into combat with open hatches and the gun's rate of fire was limited to below even the stated low-low 2 rounds per minute, because otherwise the inside filled with so much gas the crew had trouble breathing, and on top of that a muzzle cloud was created after each shot blocking out the gunners' vision, so he couldn't confirm the hit nor engage next target or see if enemy moved until it dissipated. Because of that this tank was basically unable to effectively take part in any prolonged combat or take up tank-on-tank engagements by itself.
This talk completely changed my outlook on military vehicles, as I realised something that I never saw even mentioned in books about WWII tanks, as they all simply stated official hard stats, and never dwelled into "small" details that nonetheless could change entirely the vehicle's use and potential.
And up to this day you can see this especially in internet discussions. Seeing people praise IS-2 because it had that and that armor, that and that speed, the gun had that and that penetration etc while in the reality it failed to ever use these advantages because it knocked out it's own crew, hampering them in doing their job effectively, because someone constructing that tank forgot that it's humans operating those machines, who need to breathe and see to make it work.
But oh well, taking that stuff into consideration makes it harder to have internet armchair discussions of throwing numbers at each other!
I went into different example here but it applies to all military vehicles, modern-day too, like your BMP-2 example. The term "crew comfort" gives faulty meaning to some people, as "comfort" is taken as some "luxury", something extra. While more often than not it simply means that vehicle's construction allows you to perform your job as needed instead of actively hampering you or even posing danger to it's own crew.
Gaijin will never model this because 80 percent of the Russian tech tree would become unusable… Can’t be putting down the cash cow nation, can we?
@colemurphy2063 If they model this, then all other nations will also have their glaring flaws like tigers who would be incapable of advancing because of transmission.
@@EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE1 Jesus Christ when will this bullshit finally die out. We survived a decade of repeating "sherman ronson" shit just to now have this idiotic "le tiger transmission haha" drivel. Stop, for the love of God stop, stop taking your knowledge of vehicles from internet memes
@@EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE1 And would you look at that, another one of the big money tech trees down... Yeah gaijin prefers profit over realism

2:40 Spookston casually giving himself WW2 PTSD
Spookston, I'd recommend getting a UPS (uninterruptable power supply) and plugging your pc into that instead. It's basically just like a regular power strip, but it has a battery inside that will last for a couple of minutes if power goes out, which should be enough to save what you are working on and shut down your pc safely. Plus it completely negates every instance where your power just blinks off and on again.
Bonus points if you have a fan or lamp or something running that is NOT plugged in to the UPS, as an easy indicator that the power is out, if you are like me and play with the overhead lights off. That way it becomes hard to miss if you are deeply absorbed in your game.
You can also plug your router into one of these things, so you don't even lose your internet connection during power blips.
Anyway, just wanna throw that out there.
Neat, now i want one.
They are very helpful if you have frequent power outages. I got a few cause I keep getting like a couple of second outages. Just long enough to turn stuff off and not be great with computers.
@@CrysResan 100% yes.
Thanks mate, I will get one too
"Make ATGMs more realistic" sure is a funny way to say "Nerf HOT, MILAN and TOW".
Commieboos salty that our missile superiority has caught them lacking yet again, had to cry to the snail god.
Every single atgm got this tbh xD
@@arilavanderboom4990certainly affected some ATGMs a lot more than others tho. The TOW has become useless in 70% of the cases where you’d normally use it.
Yeah especially when the Russian missiles didn't change much.
@@SuperSreggin BMP-2 and IT-1 got majorly affected by the change too
Was playing through the game Mercenaries recently and remembered how much I loved the Bradley in it. Nice to see people giving it more love these days.
Pro tip for WT replay footage: There is a keybind called "Toggle Camera Wiggle" which turns off that camera smoothing between views. It makes the replay look much more like how you actually played and stops some of us getting motion sick :)
Bradley's also very fun in GHPC, despite having paper thin armor that 20 mm gun can disintegrate anything short of a tank (heck, even T-55s), and firing the TOWs is soooo satisfying (even if they take a full min to reload), also you can put it in defilade with it's tiny ass turret and basically never get hit, perfect gremlin vehicle.
Honestly if the crew could actually reload the TOW launcher that fast it would be pretty impressive
Attempt 28 Challenge: For high tier support a nations MBT with its respective APC/IFV counterpart (ie Abrams/Bradley, T90/BMP2M, etc.) Challenge is keeping the other player alive and supporting it without stealing kills (breaking barrels, tracking, repairing, etc) it being a random should help make it interesting.

I do think that who gets the kill should be determined by the amount of damage done rather than who fires the final shot, but I don't really have to worry about that as a German main. My teammates never assist me with anything.
Dude thank you!!!! I love the bradley!!!! I've wanted you to play it for sooooo long! I'm hoping to get a A3 bradley video from you if possible! I used to drive, gun and command one!

@@B-52Hto be fair I'm pretty sure the marksmen system can *only* bring full ammo into games even if he didn't want to
@@somerandomdude6977 oof that's sad then
Two British vehicles I wish we could get in the game are the Bishop & the Deacon.
The former was a Valentine chassis with a new box turret armed with the 25-pounder & a Bren gun, the latter was an AEC Matador truck with a box turret armed with a 6-pounder gun en portee on it.
Gaijin: "LOL! Here's a Canadian Leopard 2A4 that's $70 for a pre-order, comrade. We're no longer adding WWII vehicles anymore".
That would please British mains(well, at least one) and that is unacceptable
If you have regular enough power issues you might want to consider an uninterrupted power supply. Basically a battery for your pc. Can help with brief outages, brownouts, or to save video game vods in a pinch. Can even have something similar for your router to keep that nectar of the net flowing in an outage.
Damn, Spookston. So close to 400k!
The Bradley has this cool trick you can do. If you activate your ESS, you can see through it wih thermals. This makes it basically a one way smokescreen since not many things have thermals at 8.3. Really useful for baiting people to push and then greeting them with two missiles.
Yes I too watched the video
Oh my God you're right
Any vehicle with thermals can do that, ess doesn't block thermals at all

From playing Conflict Desert Storm, Shattered Union and World in Conflict, i was convinced that Bradley is the best IFV in the world
Just fix the ATGMs and the BMP-cels are finished
I almost thought that there were no CAS deaths, but then, Alouette
The greatest advantages the Bradley has (survivability when hit and crew ergonomics) aren't modeled properly in War Thunder for their rivals, which is why it seems so weak.
@@zchris13
There is nothing special about Bradley crew survivability and crew ergonomics when compare to most other modern ifv, modern as in post 1980s.
In fact, there are plenty of more modern design that exceed Bradley on both of the metric simultaneously, because they are more modern. The thing rolls out of production line before Abrams. it is ancient.
Oh man, Shattered Union, that’s a nostalgia bomb right there.
Bradley my beloved.
Only ever drove him in Battlefield 1942 Desert Combat (the predecessor to Battlefield 2) but loved every minute.
Now that you had the privilege of driving such an excellent and fun vehicle, please do the Ro-Go Exp. next 😁

He swore several times in his videos depending on what you consider a swear. He just censors it in the newest ones. The old gameplay videos have some of them though
The best Bradley matches i've ever had was playing in GHPC.
Bradley has great features like engine smoke +thermals combo - pretty much makes you invisible and you can still shoot enemies, great turret down positioning when using gunners sight for firing TOW's, decent mobility and turret traverse and ok survivability.
You know what you should do? You should drive with manual mode in one video. It won't really change anything, but it will frustrate you a little bit, which is what I am here for. You could also stack this challenge onto an additional challenge, to make for the best, or worse , experience.

most accurate historical gameplay i ever seen, playing a bradley against tigers II and jagdtiger etc.. you get the point
Literally the Tiger player's fault. They uptiered their tank. Tiger 2 will never face Bradley at its own BR.
Spookston getting woken up in his sleep by Band Of Brothers with his WW2 Ptsd is honestly hilarious!
Just remember, this IFV destroyed a T90M with its auto cannon
At the same time using a high explosive tape
From the sides, maybe. But i doubt it is possible from the front.
@@alexmaximus9134 no, it can from the front, you can easily find a clip of one doing just that in Ukraine
@@alexmaximus9134 In an interview, the gunner of this Bradley said that they had a high explosive tape loaded and he was trying to get into the optics of the gunner and the commander to blind him
And after all, the t 90m was not destroyed, as I remember, the tower began to spin (maybe the drives jammed or something happened to the gunner) and he crashed and got stuck, after which the tank was finished off by drones
@@pearelectronics3083 Maybe in the lower plate. I don't see that tiny shell having the power to punch through anywhere else. Other than shooting the lower front plate, at best, it can take out the tracks, the gun or mess up the optics. But i doubt it can do more than that.
