M3A3 Bradley

The M2 Bradley IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle) and M3 Bradley CFV (Cavalry Fighting Vehicle) are American Infantry Fighting Vehicles manufactured by BAE Systems Land and Armaments, formerly United Defense. As with other Infantry Fighting Vehicles, the Bradley is designed to transport infantry with armor protection while providing suppressive fire against hostile troops and armored vehicles. The M2 holds a crew of three: a commander, a gunner and a driver; as well as six fully equipped soldiers. The M3 mainly conducts scout missions and carries two scouts in addition to the regular crew of three, although in current conflicts is often used chiefly as an infantry support platform. Both vehicles feature an M242 Bushmaster 25mm chaingun as a primary weapon system, with an integrated, dual-tube TOW system for anti-armor engagement. . = In Game =

Battlefield: Bad Company
In Battlefield: Bad Company the Bradley is the counter-part of the Russian BMD-3 Bakhcha in almost every way. It is most effective against infantry, light vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles. It is least effective against main battle tanks but in the hands of a skilled player it can take one down.

The Bradley does not appear in the single player campaign but it appears numerous times in multiplayer.

The Bradley in Bad Company 2 can be upgraded to reload its chaingun faster and do more damage per round. It has the capability to zoom in, heavier armor, and a TOW Missile Launcher as an alternate, anti-armor weapon, while the BMD-3 has a Kornet attached and all vehicle specs also apply to it in the same way.

= Trivia =
 * The Bradley is much weaker than the Abrams and can only take 2 hits to the front, 2 hits to the side and 1 hit to the rear from a Main Battle Tank.


 * The Bradley like all other land vehicles will eject the passengers and crew and will explode for an unexplained reason when sinking into even a small body of water.
