Description

  • Available at Rank 2 from a general upgrade at Rank 2.
  • Can engage vehicles, buildings and infantry.
  • Not very effective against any of these targets.
  • Medium range and low view sight.
  • ATGM is effective, but not very much.
  • Carries up to 3 infantry units.

Usage

  • Use it only as bait, or infantry support.
  • Most effective against infantry, as it can't do much against armored targets.
  • They are vulnerable to Anti-Tank missiles, so keep them behind your infantry.
  • ATGMs have a long range, but the BMD-1 has a short view sight, so support it with other units.
  • Embark engineers, medics and officers inside it to support surrounding units..

Against Infantry

Reasonable damage.

Against Tanks

Weak.

Against Buildings

Very weak.

How to defend against

  • Anti-Tank missiles can take out with one or two hits.
  • Anti-Tank Soldier is good for the job, but use them in pairs to disallow the tank to fire back.
  • Anti-Tank vehicles like the Humvee TOW and BRDM-2 AT-5 Spandrel can make short work of them.
  • Base defenses and garrisoned structures are a good defense against BMD-1s.
