Nicely done. The whole thing captures the “Verlinden look” very well. I wouldn’t take negative comments too seriously. First of all, it seems you worked from a photo indicating the Bradley was indeed an A1. Those unfamiliar with it can’t be faulted for that, But wait, while the Gino enumerates various changes incorporated into the A1, he doesn’t mention the main features that change the designation - the addition of the gas particulate filter system and the fire suppression system. The gas particulate filter system is not something you can readily model. But you do have the A1 features for the fire suppression system. There have been multiple discussion on other threads about the changes to the Bradley, which can happen incrementally, based on how much time they spend being refitted. Simpy plating over a firing port is not enough to change the designation, nor is changing the location of some periscopes. Neither affects the overall capability or increases the combat effectiveness of the system. Removing grenade boxes is a superfluous change. It has been said on this site that A1’s had the turret side ammo box holders removed, yet I posted several photos refutung that. Again, all of the changes take time. Just because certain features haven’t been altered doesn’t negate the fact the the changes that fundamentally alter the vehicle have been made.
Case in point: The M3A3. It’s easily recognized by the CITV and the IBAS on the turret roof. Yet many retained the older ODS style seating. In fact, many of the ODS Bradleys retained the OG seating arrangements for quite some time,
The turret basket is another item that took some time to change. Again, there are builds on this site of A1 that retain the older style basket.
Edit: There happens to be another discussion going on right now about how changes to tanks - pretty big ones like the difference between HVSS and VVSS, and do not change their designation. Again, many details have little to nothing to do with a vehicle’s performance or combat capability.
