One of the possible directions of the Soviet invasion into Western Europe was considered a wide lowland area between the mountains of the federal state of Hesse, Germany. This area was designated by NATO military ‘The Fulda Gap”. The lowland was well suited for the operation of a large scale armored group, the main gambit of the Soviet military doctrine in a possible war.

The strategists were right. July 25th, 1985, the USSR initiates a large-scale border breakthrough in the Fulda Gap region, heading towards Frankfurt am Main to capture the financial centre of Germany and establish a foothold for the invasion into Western Europe.


These conditions are important for squadrons that enter the operation according to the described scenario.

USSR

• Capture 2 sectors C6, D6 (Frankfurt am Main) within 2 hours.
  
• Capture at least 78% of the sectors within 2 hours.
  
• Prevent enemy superiority in number over vehicles 2.5 times.

Germany

• Hold at least 1 sector from C6, D6 (Frankfurt am Main) for 2 hours.
  
• Hold at least 23% of the sectors for 2 hours.
  
• Gain superiority in numbers over vehicles 2.5 times.

A deep modernization of the Soviet “veteran”, aimed at increasing the firepower for the combat vehicle. Meet the new squadron vehicle - the BMP-2M Berezhok with new ATGM’s, that can be launched two at a time.


In War Thunder, the BMP-2M with the Berezhok complex will join the ranks of squadron vehicles. Despite the familiar silhouette, the new modification is noticeably different from the standard version. Excellent driving performance, the ability to swim, and, alas, armor that is close to nothing in top-tier battles, remains. But its fire potential has undergone big changes!






The BMP-2M will become available in one of the upcoming server updates, stay tuned!
