Possible bug in airborne drops

[SCAJolly]

I feel the need to repeat myself: In the case of BMDs at least, there will ALWAYS be causalties (and the BMD only has a crew of 2). This can't be tolerated, as it's over the edge of silly.

So you expect to strap a 'chute on a BMD and toss it out of the back of a plane and it coming out of this without any scratch??

Obviously, the makers/deployers of the thing do think that way, too:
"The BMD-3 can be airdropped from transport aircraft with the complete crew of seven men remaining inside the vehicle. In the past, the crew was dropped separately, and it often took a considerable time for them to locate the vehicle."

I would be interested in real figures about drop casualties, though

Ittakes a way braver man than me to be straped into a AFV, rigged with a chute and pushed out of a aircraft.

Sorry, I might jump with the rest of the men(trid to join Army but no MCL, no ACL no join) but not in a AFV. I think I would need to see where I am falling to. even if I can't do anthing about it.

If the unit is labeled "airborne" I don't see a reason the size greater than a molecule for why one should have this feature if one can't get the crew down in one piece! I'm not arguing that it's realistic or unrealistic, well I actually am, but if it is a "realistic" feature which has been added by intention, I think that realism could be much more well spent somewhere else.
Why would you buy a tank platoon if the tracks fell apart after 500 metres?

@SC: I think the crews are parachuted separatly, at least in Russia. That, or given great amounts of vodka. (Or maybe both.) Unfortunately, that is impossible to do in winSP, at least to this date.

It might take great amounts of vodka to get me in a BMD much less drop in one. I can't believe the Russian would drop the crews but you can never tell. The Soviets might of.
