BRDM-2 works differently - driving with unfolded ATGM launcher is not permited since there is very high risky of breaking launcher during that. I could simulate that but that would be even more WTF for players.

M1134 on the other hand can be fired on move - thats why it's manual action.

As for firing when folding is still happening - well, it's kind of edge case which cannot be fixed with engine solution and I would consider it super minor anyway.

Mention of M1134 was about yellow nameplate "TRRT LCK". What about adding manual folding of launched? It will be very usefull in some sort of ambush or hiding in rocks or bushes.

If there is limitation for 9P148, so what about M2A2, it also have limitation for firing on the move. I know that it is FAQ, but i didnt see answer for him.

And if i asked about Breadley, i would like to ask about working cargo hatch which is used for reloading TOW. Do you have any plans for it?

M1134 doesn't automatic folding handled by engine and thats why it can be folded manually.

M2A2 is kind of different beast and automatic folding would be quite hard to implement due to fact, that launcher deploys when:
1. Launchers is selected by player or AI
2. There are other weapons
So perhaps damage will be implemented to it one day. On the other hand, sole purpose of BRDM ATGM is its launcher, so firing on move on this one is quite cheating. Perhaps one day BRDM could use pylons tech but no time line for it.

There are plans for everything ;)

You can expect everything. I've explained to you why it's not working with current engine auto folding feature
