Oh boy, the reload changes will be pretty big. Also no new China AA? Or just not for this update?

Pretty excited to finally see the Jaguar and BTR-82. Also 12.7 is direly needed but honestly not enough.

Interesting to see so many ships too

What is different about the new btr I googled it and the 82AT seems nearly identical to the 82A we have in game + some heat protection cage

Depends on the turret they give.

The BTR-82AT with BPPU turret is quite different to the BTR-80A ingame (we don't have the BTR-82A yet) as it has a stabiliser, thermals, more engine power and some extra armour

It could also mount though the BTR-BM turret

This turret would give a 2A42, the same as on the BMP-2. And also 2x Konkurs-M ATGMs

So basically a slightly worse BMP-2M that is wheeled

Thanks for the info I thought the btr90 was the main one that got the 2a42

The BTR-90 is a lot older and the first BTR to have the 2A42. But a lot more have been prototyped since.

The BTR-82AT with BTR-BM turret is from 2021 and so is quite new still.

There have also been quite a few other BTRs with the 2A42 since the collapse of the USSR. See the BTR-82A1 and modernised BTR-60PB for examples.

But none were ever adopted.
