BTR

Smoke screens. BMP mounted smokes were designed for offensive use giving you 50-80m of breathing space with 3D6M/3D17 smoke grenades protecting form thermal and visual detection. 

Again, nothing conventional EMT attached to any KMT series minesweeper can't achieve. Example here (KMT-7 + EMT):
 

 
I think the MOD didn't want to replace standard issue operational equipment with whatever toys thrown at it. B2 was a good testbed, but the juice of it was given to B3 with no additional cost. Relikt is operational, nakidka is operational, but up to this year, no strategic challenge required their use. 

Version with tactical markings. This one makes prapors everywhere proud .

Bringing this back, even now T-90MS shows 12.7mm (Kord) installment over 7.62 (PKT) here:
 
Knowing requirements to down hovering helis, I think it would be safe to assume Kord would be on T-90AM if it entered service. 
 

Dropbox it is then.

Today is 23-rd of Feb, Defender of the Fatherland Day. Therefore have a little more regulation standard marking for your CMBS  . GET IT.

Ah, that sweet, seamless detailing, just the way I like it.
 

Independent formations get their own tactical symbols. By the book, independent formations are the ones which are counted as separate military bases and have reinforced structures. Brigade formations are all reinforced and therefore independent. Following soviet tradition, battalions within a brigade get variations on brigade tactical symbol with their order number. Tactical groups pre-formed outside battle sometimes also receive tactical markings separate from their original parent formations. Conversely, all formations which don’t count as independent, don’t have variations.    How does that translate to what I can do in-game? First part is simple, give similar quality of equipment similar tactical markings:   T-90AM+BMP-3M+BMP-2M (fantasy force) (A ) T-90A+BMP-3+BTR-82 (B ) T-72B3+BMP-2+BTR-80 (C )   A much more interesting question is what to do with common vehicles used in all formations? My answer to this is to arrange them aligned to previous equipment ratings.    Therefore: BRM-3K+BRDM-2M (fantasy force once more) (A ) TIRG (B ) BRM-1K + BRDM-2M (C )    But that doesn’t end there, what to do with all the specialized support? This was more clear to me than previous part. Arrange them by their use inside specialised formations. Most independent supporting elements would have entirely different makings from line elements anyways.     1V152+9K22M1+9K35 (AA support) (D ) PRP-4M+9P157-2+9P149+9P148+9P148M (E ) 1V14 (F )   So, what is left? You’ve noticed I’ve left out MT-LB’s. First of all, MT-LBM is present in almost all organisational charts, so it’s best I leave it unmakred. MT-LB’s are in a bit of special place at the moment, and usually entirely separate, sometimes specialised, formations use them. Therefore, all MT-LB’s with weapons will receive their own symbol.    MT-LBM 6MA + MT-LBM 6MB (G )   Ural and UAZ, just like MT-LBM’s, are too common to be placed in one category over another, therefore they will have no markings. All in all, 16 different makings broken into 7 independent common groups should do well for realistic scenario making. Now, I'm a little uneasy about using actual unit tactical symbols, so I'll probably "make up" my own. If that is such a deal-breaker, let me know.    Obviously, if BF introduce a dynamic decal script of some sort, all of this would be much easier  . 

Russian meddling in Ukraine is way more ancient than 20+ years. It started from 1054 when first principality broke off from old Rus'. In any case, Ukraine will be part of Russia one way or another, that is just the nature of historical cycles. When core Russia is weak, fringe regions break off for a varied period of time, when the cycle of power swings back, fringe territories are always reclaimed. Be it 1654, 1764, 1921, 1944 or 2015, the outcome is always the same. 

Dropbox it is then.

Wow, you've already performed rigorous analysis on that matter

Evaluating different approaches to markings. Numbering all vehicles is a bit out of grasp, since you really need to get into tens of numbers to make a difference.

you'll never get an impartial assessment out of north americans, what passes for the news there is nothing but propaganda. 

Almost done, BMP-1 and BTR series left. Also, fun fact, according to game files there is a BMP-1P available to the Russian army   . 
 

Just to confirm:
 

Nightly progress:
 

 
I'll add tac-markings and whatnot after I'm done with all the base textures first. The amount of MTLB's is just outrageous   . 

Done! 

I don't like putting ETA's on personal projects, but I think I'll finish the BTR and BRDM series by the end of this week with initial release.
 
I'm currently taking time to consolidate and get some finer details right:
