To answer your wondering of how they fit people in the back, they don’t. They just cram them all around the driver and the ammunition. There are 2 hatches, one to the left and to the right, of the driver, and there’s one big hatch in back, the one in the dip in the back. You have to climb over the engine in order to get in.
I don't understand anyway how anyone can call it an ifv, for me it is completely light tank trated like ifv, even t80 can be ifv then, just by carring trops on roof.
BMD1 none-existent. BMD 2 none-existent. BMD 3 none-existent. BMD 4 Existent but only as event obtained vehicle. Such a way to be mean for players Gaijin well done.
@2:17 other way around. The vehicles base paint "Tan" as you call it, is painted over in the field by the crew with a cheap "whitewash" that can be easily removed later with a pressure washer. Saves a heap of cost as the base vehicle paint can be adapted for all seasons, not completely repainted 2-4 times a year. The deliberately left "tan" patches are supposed to help break up the silhouette of the vehicle. Actually helps when you park in part shadow. (from a guy who spent too long putting camo on vehicles during exercises)
2:20, the BMD actually have dismount scatered across the vehicle, the back provide 3-4 seats, the 2 hatch you see next to the driver at the front are actually 2 seats for the dismount troop
I'm genuinely confused how they get in though. Average Soviet/Russian design contorting the soldiers into the most cramped and yet thin-skinned vehicles possible.
At 7:25 for about a single frame you can see a round cut straight across his scope, presumably from whatever enemy tank is shown on the map to the right of him
2:20 It's cute that you think transported troops should fit "in" the back. Check out photos from 2008 Victory parade. Turns out that out of 5 transported troops (5 beside the crew itself) only 2 are "in". The remaining 3 are "on" the bmd. Betweeen the cut in part of the rear and the turret, there is this weird angled part that even has hinges modeled in game. Turns out there are 3 seats for infantry hidden there
2:23 - It's an air deployable light tank most of it's battlefield time. It doesn't carry soldiers at all most of the time (apart from the crew). An Mi-26 Halo can land in a field and deploy 2 BMD-4s into an area.
As explained to others, no, it's an IFV. On BMD-4, they enter through a small hatch on the back of the hull next to the turret, and basically squeeze in around the turret... in theory. In practice, typically the rest of the squad (the squad leader is also the vehicle commander until dismount, when that role is transferred to the gunner) rides on top of the engine. BMDs are not deployed without their accompanying infantry squad.
@@PandaMan-xy1he Read the comment properly. I've watched too many hours of Russian footage in Ukraine to know that BMDs often ride empty or are relegated to being Artillery with the 100mm gun.
It's supposed to carry infantry; that's what the initial design requirements and current doctrine dictate. Unfortunately, the actual design is so awful for dismounts that they usually don't bother.
Attempt number 44 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.
Attempt 35 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.

Recently, I got into this game and found your channel. Your demeanor and attitude towards the game seems like such a nice vibe. Parasocial relationship and all, but I bet I would learn so much and have fun playing with ya. Plus furries are pretty rad. Keep making great content internet guy!
I think there is a drone video of BMD-4 dropping off a bunch of dismounts to reinforce a position. And it is 9 men dismounting in the video. And because BMD drives off afterwards, these 9 didn't include at least a driver.
On your comment of how it's supposed to be an IFV, you are right, the dismount squads are very small. In fact, the force structure of an average BMD armed Battalion (including the few Battalions equipped with BMD-4) are like 50% of the force of an average Motor Rifle Battalion, or even less compared to a western IFV battalion. They're smol, but airborne which is pretty cool.
I remembered when this thing come out and it have a bug where you can have more than 4 missile…it probably the most op thing that exist at that time… I remembered killing like 5 spawn camping dude under 1 minute
2:25 in the most insane way, the dismounts exit from the hatch in the back (the angled bit just behind the turret) and crawl over the engine deck before dropping to the ground. Definitely something you'd like to do in combat, just like how half the dismounts in BTRs GET OUT FROM THE SIDES OF THE THING WITH ZERO COVER. Imagine if the Bradley had its dismounts jump out the sides.
Bro finally I can hear you a bit better(it seems like this and also I hope you are feeling a bit better) and also Video 41 of asking you to play the Breda 501, the low tier Italian rat
There's 4 seats behind the turret and 2 more next to the driver for dismounts. It's an insane deathbox, peak soviet. I know it's a 2004 vehicle but is essentially soviet BMD-3 with an improved BMP-3 turret.
Spookston, youre the thing thats been helping me Get through the gym. I watch your videos when i do cardio and legs and its been helping the time go by faster. Thank you For helping me do better in war thunder and for helping me loose weight
6:45 I feel that with most IFVs, ATGMs are basically only for things you come up against frontally and if you play an IFV right you should be on the side like 80% of the time
Ah, so this is the vehicle I see people use in YT shorts where they use a drone to spot targets then lob shells like an artillery cannon from cover. Kinda wanted to see more of that here.
Can you make a revised video on things like the bmp2m or T72 Turms? A naughty gremlin or a pickup truck with a 4Kph reverse speed. Many of these tanks are still prevalent among 10.0 ground but I don’t know how they perform nowadays with the bmp2m being 10.0
@Spookston .bout BMD-4 troop transport capabilities. You dont see how troops would fit inside of it, because they dont. Well, in theory they do via 2 hatches above front left and right 2nd road wheel. See the periscope in 3:11 on the side of the front? there is a hatch next to it. However it is so ridiculously hard to perform a quick dismount from it, that dosmounts tend to ride on top of its back, where those 2 cube like hatches are. Also, the commander of the vechicle is also named as commander of dismounts in documentation. Dont know how its supposed to work but ok. Because of this idiotic placement of troop hatches and compartment, BMD-4 tends to be used in a scout-light tank role or small fire-support, accompanying dedicated troop transports like BTR-MDM Rakushka or BMD-4M's troop carrier versions (lacking armament). Its basically a fail, since it was meant as a quick air-drop troop transport/IFV for VDV, but we saw how it failed in Ukraine in that role. For VDV to be sucessfull with it, you need to basically air-drop a whole motorised company behind the enemy lines. And VDV doctrine says you are not getting supplies with that drop. Food, medicaments, fuel, all of that is transported in convoys on road. Remember that huge columns that got obliterated in ukraine in 2021? Part of those were columns of supplies for said VDV drops. You see so many captured BMD-4's because they basically were dropped too far behind enemy lines, and ran out of fuel.
