Sign in to edit

The M2 Bradley is a family of tracked Infantry Fighting Vehicles featured in both ArmA: Cold War Assault and ArmA 2.


ArmA: Cold War Assault[]

The M2A2 Bradley is used exclusively by U.S. military forces in ArmA: Cold War Assault.

Overview[]

  • Roles:
    • Troop transport
    • Fire support
« The mission of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle [BFV] is to provide mobile protected transport of an infantry squad to critical points on the battlefield and to perform cavalry scout missions. The BFVS will also provide overwatching fires to support dismounted infantry and to suppress or defeat enemy tanks and other fighting vehicles. The Bradley Fighting Vehicle is a fully armored, fully tracked vehicle designed to carry Mechanized Infantry into close contact with the enemy.
Vehicle Description[1]
 »

Design[]

First designed in 1981, the M2A2 Bradley is a tracked Infantry Fighting Vehicle that is intended to be used for reconnaissance duties and transporting infantry squads; all while providing its dismounts protection against small arms fire.

Armament
It is armed with a 25 mm autocannon, a coaxial 7.62 mm medium machine gun, as well as a TOW missile pod.[CWACfgV 5] The standard loadout of the M2A2 gives it 300 rounds of high-explosive (HE) shells for the main gun[CWACfgW 1] while the coaxial MMG is fed from a single 500-round belt.[CWACfgW 2] The TOW missile pod is pre-loaded with 2× ATGMs by default[CWACfgW 3] and has a further six missiles in reserve for a combined total of 8× missiles.[CWACfgV 6]

Features
The direct counterpart to the Soviet BMP-1 and BMP-2, the M2A2 serves as the heavy IFV of U.S. forces in Cold War Assault.

Compared to the M113, the addition of its dedicated TOW missile pod grants not only a significant firepower boost, but also allows the crew to fight tanks like the T-72 without having to rely on friendly anti-tank support. Paired with its explosive 25 mm munitions that are excellent against infantry and light armour, as well as its higher armour plating (200)[CWACfgV 7], the M2A2 has overall better survivability and is more flexible in combat.

Mobility
Speed-wise, the M2A2 shares the exact same top speed with the M113 and caps out at 69 km/h, making it ~ 14% slower than the BMP-1/BMP-2 (80 km/h). It isn't amphibious like both vehicles or the M113, and is therefore restricted to land travel only.

Drawbacks
The M2A2's main drawback is its lack of armour piercing munitions. As the 25 mm autocannon can only fire HE shells, it relies solely on its TOW missiles to destroy armoured enemy vehicles. This is in stark contrast to the BMP-2 which is capable of firing both AP shells and ATGMs. On the other hand, when compared to the M113, it can only ferry up to six troops at a time which is two less transportable passengers in total.[CWACfgV 7] It also has a significantly taller and bulkier turret profile, which makes it easier to spot from afar as opposed to the smaller M113.

Crew Capacity
The M2A2 has a seating capacity of three for a driver, the gunner and commander. It can transport up to six passengers in its rear compartment.[CWACfgV 1]

Protection[]

The M2A2 has 200 points worth of armour plating.[CWACfgV 7]

Armament[]

The gunner position controls all of the Bradley's weapon systems (Cannon 25 mm autocannon/TOW missile launcher/coaxial MG 7.62 mm).[CWACfgV 5]

The M2A2's turret can be freely rotated in any direction horizontally[CWACfgV 8][CWACfgV 9] but has more restrictive vertical rotation limits of a maximum elevation of 74 degrees[CWACfgV 10] and a depression of just 4.5 degrees:[CWACfgV 11]

Armoury Description[8]
 »

Design[]

This is a premium asset that requires ownership of the Operation Arrowhead expansion pack.

Returning in ArmA 2, the M2A3 Bradley is an improved version of the original M2 Bradley IFV that was first developed during the Cold War. The M2A3 is the latest development and incorporates enhancements including enhancements intended to improve its lethality, mobility, and survivability.

Armament
Like its Cold War Assault counterpart, the M2A3 retains the same armament in the form of a 25 mm autocannon, coaxial 7.62 mm machine gun, and an ATGM launcher pod that can fire surface-to-surface anti-vehicle missiles.[A2CfgV 6]

The standard loadout for the M2A3's M242 25 mm autocannon consists of:[A2CfgV 11]

  • 480 rounds of armour-piercing discarding sabot (APDS) shells that are split across 2× 240-round magazines
  • 480 rounds worth of high-explosive (HE) shells, split across 2× 240-round magazines

The coaxial M240 7.62 mm MMG feeds from a single 1,200-round belt. It has no spare belts to reload from. Lastly, the M220 TOW launcher pod is always pre-loaded with a 2-round BGM-71A TOW missile "magazine". Four more 2-round missile "magazines" are available in reserve, providing the M220 TOW launcher with access to a combined total of 10× SACLOS-guided[A2CfgA 1] missiles.[A2CfgV 11]

The M2A3's commander also has the ability to activate the vehicle's defensive smoke launchers.[A2CfgV 9] 4× volleys' worth of smoke grenades are always ready for launch[A2CfgV 12], and can be used to confuse incoming autonomously guided missiles or to generate a smoke screen cover for friendly forces.

Features
Unlike its Cold War Assault predecessor, the M2A3 is fitted with the Bradley Urban Survival Kit (BUSK) module which protects it with additional 30 millimetre-thick Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) blocks on both sides of the hull. Thanks to it being better armoured, the M2A3 also has a base armour value of 400 as well[A2CfgV 13], which grants it slightly better survivability to autocannon fire, light AT munitions, and Improvised Explosive Devices (IED). ArmA 2's M2A3 is similarly better equipped since it can actually load anti-vehicle AP shells as opposed to just anti-personnel HE shells.

Drawbacks
The Bradley family's main downsides are their low speeds, slow acceleration, and overall poorer handling compared to other IFVs. Its Russian counterpart, the BMP-3, can attain a top speed of 81 km/h whereas the Bradley is capped to a speed of only 70 km/h. In fact, it is by far the slowest of all tracked IFVs, and is surpassed in pure speed even by the older BVP-1 and the BMP-2.

It should also be noted that the Linebacker variant is noticeably inferior to its Russian-made dedicated anti-aircraft counterpart in almost every way. Not only are its Stinger missiles less agile and shorter ranged compared to the latter's AA missiles, but the Linebacker's 25 mm cannon lacks the range and fire rate of the 2S6M's twin autocannons.

Its only saving grace is that both the gunner and commander have access to night/thermal vision modes[A2CfgV 14][A2CfgV 15] that can help negate visibility issues under low-light conditions (a problem that the 2S6M suffers from due to not possessing advanced optics), but this doesn't address its primary weakness of lacking adequate AA capabilities.

Crew Capacity
The M2A3 has a seating capacity of three personnel for a crew consisting of the driver, gunner and commander. It can transport up to six passengers in its rear compartment (this applies to older configurations of the Bradley as well).[A2CfgV 1]

Variants[]

Older model of the Bradley IFV.

Armament-wise, the M2A2 uses the exact same loadout as the newer M2A3 IFV (M242 25 mm autocannon/M240 7.62 mm coaxial medium machine gun/M220 TOW ATGM launcher pod).[A2CfgV 5] Where the M2A2 differs is that it lacks addon armour modules, resulting in it having a lower base armour value of 300.[A2CfgV 16] The vehicle's commander also does not have access to a laser rangefinder as they only have a periscope with a thermal imager.[A2CfgV 17][A2CfgV 18]

Dedicated SHORAD configuration.

The Linebacker variant retains the same M242 25 mm autocannon and M240 7.62 mm coaxial medium machine gun as the older M2A2 and newer M2A3 IFVs.[A2CfgV 7] Just like the M2A2, the Linebacker also has a lower base armour value of only 300 since it does not have addon armour modules installed[A2CfgV 19], and that the Linebacker's commander only has access to a thermal imaging-capable periscope but no laser rangefinder.[A2CfgV 17][A2CfgV 18]

The main difference is that the Linebacker specifically replaces the M220 TOW with a FIM-92F surface-to-air missile launcher pod instead.[A2CfgV 7] The Linebacker's Stinger pod always comes with 12× infrared-guided Stinger missiles that are split across three 4-round missile "magazines".[A2CfgV 20]

Protection: Hitpoints[]

The M2A3 variant has a base armour value of 400[A2CfgV 13] while the older M2A2/M6 variants have base armour values of 300 instead.[A2CfgV 16][A2CfgV 19]

The baseline M2A3 Bradley IFV is protected by a mix of ballistic-resistant glass and seven types of armour plates:

  • The commander's Transparent Armor Gun Shield (TAGS) is made out of panes of armoured glass.[rvmat 1][bisurf 1]
  • The Bradley's engine is protected by a wedge-shaped block of armour.[rvmat 2][bisurf 2]
  • The turret's smoke launchers and the mount for the Commander's Independent Viewer (CIV) but not the CIV itself are protected by metal armour plates that have a thickness of 5 millimetres.[rvmat 3][bisurf 3]
  • The underbelly of the Bradley's hull exterior, the vehicle's lights, the AN/VLQ-12 CREW Duke Electronic Warfare System antennas, the M220 TOW missile launcher pod, the Commander's Independent Viewer (CIV), rear stowage boxes, and parts of the troop/crew compartment roofs are protected by metal armour plates that have a thickness of 7 millimetres.[rvmat 4][bisurf 4]
  • The barrel of the M242 autocannon, the Bradley's wheels, turret bustle stowage rack, and the Integrated Sight Unit (ISU) are protected by metal armour plates that have a thickness of 11 millimetres.[rvmat 5][bisurf 5]
  • All crew hatches (but excluding the rear troop compartment ramp) are protected by metal armour plates that have a thickness of 16 millimetres.[rvmat 6][bisurf 6]
  • The entirety of the Bradley's hull (including the bottom of the vehicle's interior) is protected by metal armour plates that have a thickness of 23 millimetres.[rvmat 7][bisurf 7]
  • The Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) blocks[note 3] on both sides of the Bradley's hull have a thickness of 30 millimetres.[rvmat 8][bisurf 8]

The commander's Transparent Armor Gun Shield (TAGS) is ballistic-resistant and can block bullet projectiles fired by 7.62 mm assault rifles/medium machine guns. However, the glass is not sufficiently durable enough to block .50 cal/12.7 mm bullet projectiles.

  • The entirety of the Bradley's hull (including the bottom of the vehicle's interior) is protected by metal armour plates that have a thickness of 23 millimetres.[rvmat 7][bisurf 7]

Armament[]

NOTE: For specifics on the M242's munitions, see its related section listed here.

Regardless of variant, the gunner position exclusively has control over all weapon systems on the Bradley (M242 25 mm autocannon/M240 7.62 mm coaxial medium machine gun/M220 TOW anti-tank guided missile launcher/FIM-92F Stinger surface-to-air missiles).[A2CfgV 5][A2CfgV 6][A2CfgV 7] On the other hand, the commander position is the only crewman who has access to the vehicle's defensive smoke launchers.[A2CfgV 8][A2CfgV 9][A2CfgV 10]

Turret rotation limits for all variants of the Bradley are identical to one another no matter their configuration. The turret can be freely rotated in any direction horizontally.[A2CfgV 57][A2CfgV 58] When it comes to vertical rotation limits, they are restricted to a maximum elevation of 59 degrees[A2CfgV 59] and a depression of just 9 degrees:[A2CfgV 60]

M242[]

Arma2-vehicleweapons-m2a3bradleyera-m242

General-purpose 25 mm autocannon. Can load and fire either AP or HE-type shells.

Muzzle velocity varies depending on the type of munition loaded:[A2CfgW 1]

It can attain a fire rate of up to 200 RPM.[A2CfgW 2][Formula 21] Accuracy-wise, the M242 has a dispersion value of 0.0003 rad.[A2CfgW 3] There is no delay for swapping between munition types.[A2CfgW 4]

Its zeroing can be manually adjusted, starting from a minimum of 100 metres up to a maximum of 1,800 metres (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800).[A2CfgV 61][A2CfgV 62][A2CfgV 63] By default, the M242 utilises a zeroing of 600 metres.[A2CfgV 64][A2CfgV 65][A2CfgV 66]

M240[]

Expected velocity (m/s) 900[A2CfgA 4][note 4]
Deflection angle (degrees) 10°[A2CfgA 5]

Coaxial 7.62 mm medium machine gun.

It can attain a fire rate of up to 800 RPM[A2CfgW 5][Formula 22] and has a muzzle velocity of 834 m/s.[A2CfgM 3] Accuracy-wise, the M240 has a dispersion of 0.0012 rad.[A2CfgW 6] It takes at least 5 seconds to reload the M240 with a fresh belt after rearming from a supply truck/ammunition crate.[A2CfgW 7] Every fourth round fired will emit a visible red tracer.[A2CfgM 4]

Zeroing limits for the M240 are shared with the primary M242 autocannon. Just like the M242, zeroing for M240s can be manually adjusted from a minimum of 100 metres up to a maximum of 1,800 metres (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800).[A2CfgV 61][A2CfgV 62][A2CfgV 63] By default, M240s always utilise a zeroing of 600 metres.[A2CfgV 64][A2CfgV 65][A2CfgV 66]

M220 TOW[]

The FIM-92F launcher can load and fire a Stinger missile once every 4 seconds (fire rate of 15 RPM).[A2CfgW 10][Formula 24] However, the launcher pod requires at least 30 seconds to reload another batch of 4-round missile "magazines" or to fully rearm from a supply truck/ammunition crate once all missile "magazines" have been depleted.[A2CfgW 11] They take 3 seconds to lock onto a target.[A2CfgW 12] The launcher's seeker has a 20% chance to have its lock-on get temporarily disrupted by defensive flare-based countermeasures.[A2CfgW 13]

Stinger missiles are always fired with an initial velocity of 40 m/s.[A2CfgM 6] The missile's motor will ignite 0.2 seconds after launch[A2CfgA 18] and take an additional 2.5 seconds of flight time[A2CfgA 19] to attain a top speed of 750 m/s.[A2CfgA 15] The missile's warhead utilises a high-explosive (HE) payload. It has a blast radius of 8 metres.[A2CfgA 14] Its seeker has a 20% chance to have its lock get broken by flare-based countermeasures.[A2CfgA 20]

Optics[]

Driver[]

Arma2-bradley-optics-driver

The driver's periscope does not have the ability to toggle enhanced vision modes. However, they can wear their own night vision goggles whilst they are through it.

Commander[]

Arma2-bradley-optics-commanderm2a3

Arma2-bradley-optics-commanderm2a2

The commander position's optics differs depending on the Bradley's configuration:

It should be noted that the commander's periscope on the M2A2 Bradley IFV and M6 Linebacker does not have access to a laser rangefinder. Only the M2A3's CIV features an integrated laser rangefinder.[A2CfgV 73]

Gunner[]

Arma2-bradley-optics-gunnerwide

Arma2-bradley-optics-gunnernarrow

The gunner's Integrated Sight Unit (ISU) has a laser rangefinder[A2CfgV 74] and can toggle between three vision modes: day, night, and green-/black-hot thermal.[A2CfgV 14][A2CfgV 15][A2CfgV 75][A2CfgV 76]

It can switch between two fields of view: Wide (WFOV 2.13x)[A2CfgV 77][Formula 29] and Narrow (NFOV 6.41x).[A2CfgV 78][Formula 30]

It should be noted that the gunner's ISU is not powered by an auxiliary power unit (APU). Because of this, rotating the turret in any direction will automatically force the Bradley's engine to be switched on.[A2CfgV 79][A2CfgV 80][A2CfgV 81]

Defensive sensors[]

All configurations of the Bradley are equipped with defensive sensors in the form of a Laser Warning Receiver (LWR). The LWR will warn the crew if a laser-based targeting system is attempting acquire a lock onto the Bradley.[A2CfgV 82]

Bradley IFVs are also equipped with a Missile Approach Warning System (MAWS). The MAWS will relay an alert to the crew if a guided projectile has successfully locked onto the vehicle and is inbound towards it.[A2CfgV 83]

AI[]

NOTE: The following information only applies to the AI.

Camouflage rating[]

Main article: AI Basics: Detection

All configurations of the Bradley have a camouflage[2] rating of 8.[A2CfgV 84]

Cost[]

Main article: AI Basics: Targeting priority

All configurations of the Bradley have a cost[3] value of 1000000.[A2CfgV 85]

Threat values[]

Main article: AI Basics: Targeting priority

The threat[4] value of the Bradley depends on its configuration:

  • The M2A3/M2A2 Bradley IFVs are considered to be a dangerous threat to AI-controlled infantry units and ground vehicles (0.9/0.9). However, aircraft consider the Bradley to only be a medium-risk threat (0.4).[A2CfgV 86]
  • The M6 Linebacker is considered to be a dangerous threat to AI-controlled infantry units (0.9) and a low-risk threat to ground vehicles (0.3). On the other hand, aircraft consider the Linebacker to be an extremely dangerous threat (1). They will prioritise attacking it or attempting to flee at first contact if they are unable to engage the Linebacker with their available weapon(s).[A2CfgV 87]

Noise factor[]

Main article: AI Basics: Detection

All configurations of the Bradley have an audible[5] factor of 18.[A2CfgV 88]

Trivia[]

  • As part of the latest Steam version patches (Community Configuration Project), the M242 chain gun on all Bradley variants were granted a firepower boost with AP/HE munitions dealing slightly increased damage.[11]
    • Accuracy was also greatly improved with much lower dispersion at distances beyond 800 metres. The M242 is now statistically comparable to the 2A42 30 mm autocannon utilised on most Russian ground vehicles and attack helicopters.[12]
  • Until the release of ArmA 3, the ArmA 2 Bradley would remain as the only IFV in the series that had a dedicated anti-aircraft sub-variant.

Notes[]

  1. ↑ Due to the usage of the multiplier token, the Cannon 25 mm on Cold War Assault's M2A2 does not actually have a fire rate of ~ 857 RPM and merely consumes 2 rounds for every shell fired (it has a real fire rate of just ~ 428 RPM).
  2. ↑ The A3 variant's Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) blocks are purely cosmetic additions that visualise the A3 variant having increased "health" compared to the older A2 model. Unlike in reality, they cannot actually protect the vehicle from high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) projectiles.
  3. ↑ ArmA 2's iteration of the Real Virtuality engine does not have support for the simulation of Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) functionality in regular gameplay. These blocks merely serve as an additional 30 millimetre-thick layer of vehicle armour on the A3 Bradley.
  4. ↑ Damage will be reduced if the projectile's velocity drops below this value.
  5. ↑ If available, the Linebacker's Stinger missiles can be detected by the target's Infrared Warning Receiver (IWR) during lock-on and by its Missile Approach Warning System (MAWS) while inbound towards it.
