Correctly Identifying a vehicle is very important. It helps your leadership decide how to proceed and what asset to divert to deal with said vehicle. This section of the wiki will be dedicated to screenshots of vehicles to help familiarize yourself with their traits.

Russian vehicles

Russian vehicles are by far the most commonly seen vehicles, They made millions of everything and sold them to anyone they could. This results in not only Russian forces using these vehicles, but also many other countries and even militias or insurgent forces. Russian can be hard to ID sometimes. Particularly the MBTs. It is recommended to spend some time on this section. Under here will be the main Russian vehicle families.

Light Armor

                                                                            BTR Family

BTR's have extremely light armor, they can be taken out with HMG fire or in the case of the early varients, even 7.62 AP can effect them. Shooting out their tires is an effective way to render them immobile. They are personel carriers and can fit a squad of infantry inside.

                                                                            BMP Family

BMP's are Infantry Fighting vehicles. They can carry a small team of infantry. They have heavy enough armor to require light or medium AT. Some of the newer varients come with ERA panels that can prevent AT from doing its job if you do not aim for a weak spot.

                                                                            BMD Family

BMD's are Essentially smaller BMP's that were designed for airborne units. They are Infantry Fighting Vehicles with smaller crew compartments than their BMP counterparts. The BMP-3 and newer are basically up to par with BMPs. They have heavy enough armor to require light or medium AT.

Heavy Armor

                                                                            T-72 Family

T-72 Tanks Are one of the most popular post WW2 tanks in the world. They have a diesel engine. They can be taken out by well placed light AT, but medium or heavy is recommended to ensure fewer hits. Newer variants have ERA. Driver only has 1 para-scope

                                                                            T-80 Family

The T80 was the first Main battle tank in the world to use a turbine engine. This is the easiest way to tell them apart from a T-72 if you are close enough. T-80s have 3 para-scopes for the driver. Other than that, they can be very difficult to differentiate. Like the T-72 they call for medium or heavy AT to ensure fewer hits to kill. Newer variants can have ERA.

                                                                            T-90 Family

T-90s are basically just super modern versions of the T-72. The best way to differentiate is the new turret. It it a slightly different shape, and covered in ERA. t-90s also have 2 Spotlights on the front whereas t-80s and t-72s only have 1 spotlight. T-90s can be extremely hard to take down. Recommend medium or heavy AT
