BMD-3

The BMD-3 "Bakhcha" is a Light IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle) originating in the Soviet Union that is fully amphibious and air-droppable with crew inside. It is intended to be a fire-support platform for use by airborne and air assault units. This vehicle is used in the Battlefield: Bad Company series.

Variants

 * BMD-3 - Basic type, as described.
 * BMD-3 Bakhcha AA - Anti-aircraft variant, fitted with a ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun and a grenade launcher.

Battlefield: Bad Company
In Battlefield: Bad Company's singleplayer campaign, the BMD-3 is quite common, being spotted on many missions, like during Welcome to Bad Company, when the player is required to destroy one as a primary objective. In Crossing Over and Par for the Course, many BMDs can be spotted, along with T-90s while searching for the player in the large open fields, and certain empty and free to be used by the player.

In multiplayer, the BMD-3 is the IFV for the RU team, it's only difference between it and the American counterpart is that it's 2 firing ports are stationed at the sides of the vehicle, and not the back like the M3A3 Bradley.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
In Battlefield: Bad Company 2's singleplayer, the BMD-3 appears multiple times in the campaign in the levels Upriver, Heavy Metal, High Value Target and No One Gets Left Behind. None of these can be used by the player, but generally an RPG can be found lying about before an encounter with one. 2 hits on any side from an RPG will destroy the tank, or a couple blocks of C4.

In multiplayer, the BMD-3 Bakhcha is the Russians' main IFV. It is affected by all vehicle specs and is now exactly the same as the M3A3 Bradley in performance. It has a slightly more intrusive HUD compared to the M3A3, but this makes aiming easier on woodland maps, where the green HUD of the M3A3 can be difficult to see. The BMD-3 appears on Panama Canal, White Pass, Laguna Presa and Laguna Alta in Conquest. It is used by enemy AI on every map in Onslaught mode. Unlike in the campaign, the BMD-3 will be destroyed by three hits to the front by an Anti-Tank weapon, or 2 to the rear. However, the tank will be instantly destroyed by running over an AT Mine.
