I bet you didn't know this even existed.

I've known for a very long time. At least 10 minutes since I downloaded it

Wyrm, it's awesome!!!!
Unfortunately, Russian Federation Defense Ministry declined this project, but some units are in use.
If you are author of this camo, Let the all gods bless you!!! It would be nice to see it on some other rus\sov units (as T-80). It is prettiest one =)))
And dirty tracks... New level of detalization?

This is just awesome.
But just for modding this isn´t an american variant of the M2 Bradley.
Should this have a US variant

Will this be best used in CIV3 as the best defensive unit for the Ruskies after the BMP-2s ?

cemo1956,
This rus unit was designed to participate mechwave(combats include numbers armored units) combats. Tank as main fist of assault, but it needs more support\protection of RPGs, ATGMs and other anti-tank ambushes. BMPT (Tank Support Combat Vehicle - Боевая Машина Поддержки Танков is not part of BMP (Infantry Combat\Fighting Vehicle - Боевая Машина Пехоты project.
Hull of tank and weaponry of BMP-2 (x2 multiple) - can survive many deadly surprises for BMPs, AFVs, BTRs and APCs will not - and more automatic fire from 30mm gun and some ATGMs - to scythe enemy infantry or light-armoured units. No infantry inside BMPT =)
For BMP-like tank unit look at BTR-T(БТР-Т sounds like APC-Tank-based)

And if you suggest how this new great unit should be used in Civ ?
Same advantages as armor (MP; blitz); Stealth attack against whatever gives you the heebie-jeebies most re: armor.

Ozymandias@: What MP means?
cemo1956@: I suggest, that most charatceristics and abilities from Armor\tanks, but firepower as ATGMs or IFVs'\APCs and higher damage to foot units (but I don't know how to do that)

64 downloads of the BMPT before me, and I'm the first to discover that the Default anim is missing?! 
The other anims are firstclass craftsmanship. As usual. Excellent sound too.

Well, it´s going to fit in for the ruskies as a combo with BMP-3 (or BTR) and the latest T-XX tank.
Question still to have the BMP and BTR series with what differences.
The US could counter with Abrams, Bradley and Stryker. ( I use the Humvee as the modern Scout for USA. BRDM-2 for Russia)
It´s not easy to get these fine models to fit into the AI very limited options.

cemo1956@:
APC = BTR - use to transport infantrymen into required place. May aassistance with some kind of armament, may be used for convoy, patrol or recon, but not supposed to be in real combat, it is too light for combat (anti-cluster and anti-bullet armor, Heavy Machine Guns over 12.7mm and higher penetrate BTRs).
BMP supposed to transport infantrymen into combat, in line or beyond tanks. More armour, better armament, tracks to move on different-terrain as tanks (some of Soviet's territory was marshes, woods and somewhere desertts. Also, colld and snowy winters. It is difficult even for 8 wheels to move with tanks at one speed same time). Also both are amphibious. It is old joke in Russia: "Russians can make anything, even most greatest off-road unit but cannot make good roads"
So, Heavier, better armed, less infantry, less speed on normal roads, may be used in real combats in line with tanks.
Yeah, looks like Abrams=T-XX, Bradley=BMP series, Stryker equal BTRs (BTR-90 i think would be better because uses really better armor than any previous BTRs)

Thx, I fixed it.
Nice stealth upload on the Topol 
Yet another great unit.
Question: we all know the AI can't use land carriers, but if a unit like the Topol started a game with missiles already loaded, will the AI fire them?
Best As Always,

So you think that use Topol-M as transport for nuclear missiles? GREAT!
And there is no chance to make it attacks as artillery with nuclear explosions?

Yes to the transport idea if the AI will use it. Sadly, there's no way to simulate nuclear artillery in the game (short of the making it a missile carrier idea.)
Best,

I´m sure to be corrected by you Wyrmshadow, but I´m sure you will get me a faster answer than me looking over all those models you got and not yet made into units for Civ3.
So have you got the Vietnam used M50 Ontos ?
If so will you consider it one day ?
Well that wasn´t so bad... ;-)
Now I wait for the slap on my fingers ;-(
