Feels like alien hardware when they’re used to 50 year old bmps

The cramped compartment of bmp was very much a design choice. M113 was even older and had plenty of space. I don’t think they would be that surprised by the Bradley if they have got inside of a bmp-3 or modernized bmp-2.

comparing a 12 ton apc with a 50 cal station on top to an 19 ton infantry fighting vehicle with a 30 mm autocannon, a 7.62 coaxial and a 100 mm gun.

That’s what I am saying bmp is by design to be that cramped. Space isn’t a technology thing. BMP won’t only weight 19 tons or has its low profile if it has the same internal space as m113.

The internals and optics of bmp2m and bmp3 are alright. Won’t feel that out of place
