GAZ - 3937 Vehicle

The GAZ-3937 in reality.

The GAZ-3937 "Vodnik" is a Russian high-mobility multipurpose amphibious vehicle manufactured by GAZ. Today, GAZ still make the "Vodnik", the "Tigr" and the forthcoming repacement for the "Vodnik" as well as several civilian vehicles.

Battlefield 2

In Battlefield 2, The Vodnik is the medium transport vehicle of the Middle Eastern Coalition, Spetsnaz and the Russian Rebel Forces. It is just like any other medium transport vehicle from the other factions such as the American HMMWV in terms for speed, armor, and armament. The only differences between these vehicles are their models used in-game, as well as their rear passenger layout. Like the other medium transports in the game, it is armed with a 12.7mm heavy machine gun, a 360 degree firing arc, and an armor-plated shield in front of the HMG's trigger that offers protection from ground level small arms fire.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

"Designed to replace an aging fleet of jeeps and provide the same versatility as the U.S. Humvee, the Russians developed the High-Mobility Multipurpose Combat Vehicle known as the Vodnik. It's armed with a 12.7mm HMG and is configured to seat 4."

— In-game description

In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the Vodnik 4WD is a light armored vehicle. It has room for four players: one driver, one gunner, one rear passenger and one passenger. When used by AI, there is usually only the gunner and driver's seats used.

Singleplayer

The Vodnik is used by the Russian Army and the Latin American Militia. It is usually seen in combat situations and rarely available to the player. In Airborne, it is seen in one of the cargo rooms, and is tied down, mostly covered with a tarp and lacks the standard top-mounted KORD.

Multiplayer

In multiplayer, the Vodnik 4WD is used by the Russian Army. It is the vehicle with the least appearances in multiplayer. On other occasions, the Russian Army rather uses the Cobra 4WD.

Battlefield 3

"Dependable armored 4x4 introduced in 1997."

— Battlelog description

The GAZ-3937 Vodnik appears in Battlefield 3.

Multiplayer

It functions similarly to the American M1114 HMMWV. It appears on the maps Damavand Peak, Grand Bazaar, Noshahr Canals, and Tehran Highway. Small-arms fire can penetrate the Vodnik's windshield, so it is advisable to drive quickly if taking fire. Explosives can force open the rear doors or penetrate through the small side ports.

Unlike the HMMWV, the GAZ-3937 is amphibious. It is much faster than the other amphibious vehicles, allowing it to be used for quick transport through water on a map such as Noshahr Canals. It is, however, much slower in the water than when driving on land.

Trivia

  • In Battlefield 2 and Battlefield Play4Free, the third and fourth passenger positions in the GAZ-3937 are much more protected than those in the HMMWV, thus making a Support user on the 3rd seat much more useful.
  • In the mission titled No One Gets Left Behind, the first GAZ-3937 can be driven simply by killing both the driver and gunner.
  • In Battlefield: Play4Free, it is called the "GAZ-3927".
  • While Vodnik is amphibious in Battlefield 3, in reality, however, it has no devices to move in water.
