Description:

Helo everyone!

I’d like to share my rendition of the BTR-3 in Stormworks.

BTR-3 is a deep modification of the original BTR-80, developed in Ukraine, which incorporates a modern fire control system, remotely-operated turret with updated armament including a pair of ATGM’s mounted in the turret side.

In the wake of recent military developments, improvised slat cage armor was added to many vehicles of this type. This kind of improvised armor can help prematurely detonate or deviate HEAT rockets from RPG or other similar anti tank systems, potentially limiting the damage received by the vehicle when engaged by these types of armament.

Be mindful! While the original vehicle can traverse water obstacles, my vehicle in Stormworks is not amphibious yet. It’s hard due to the space taken by the suspension wheels and also the lack of a properly sealing door system with pivots.
Maybe in the future an amphibious update may come!
