It kinda leaves out that those requirements (portholes, amphibious, big gun, AGTM) were coming from the USSR's BMP, which had a different turret, hull design, and layout so didn't have to make such drastic trade-offs to add those features.
It also missed that when you make something that's kinda a copy of the enemy vehicle, its gonna look a bit like that vehicle, especially through thermal vision, resulting in 17 getting lit up by friendly fire during Desert Storm.
