i have an open report too that could help with more info regarding the frontal arc protection for the armor, specifically about STANAG 4569 Level
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/OU9BD7JpvDQS
Would also match what is visible on the turret here…
although I’m still not quite certain whether this is supposed to depict spall liner or composite positions…

It wouldnt be spall liner. Sources already state it fully encompasses the interior of the crew module. The graphic shows external armor panels.
Well, technically this could also apply for the second german Boxer and the UK/AU Boxer, as it seems the armor models, at least for the hull, are identical.

Ye, I believe the Report also mentions the UK one as the CRV and Schwerer Waffenträger are pretty close to Beeing Brothers (even tho one is a IFV and the other beeing a Weapon Carrier)
yeah both are identical, only minor difference is that australia got a homemade version of the armor, wich its exactly the same one just produced by a local company under license, one of the parts of the land 400 intel enters more in detail
I doubt the sWaTrgInf uses the MG3A1 as even the first given Boxer sWaTrgInf to the Bundeswehr doesnt have the MG3A1 and you would see that its a MG3A1 with just the barrel cover. Rheinmetall does say that they can mount a different MG on demand but this is a vehicle Made by Rheinmetall in Australia and made for Germany specifically so Germany has probably configured it that way. (Now the Vehicle is still in testing and it can all change)

@Smin1080p_WT why is this bug reporting manager saying something different than what the bug report is explaining? The bug report talks about wrong interior model when the bug reporting manager is talking about ammunition count …?
I asked the BAAINBw, surely they can clarify

Puma is still missing level 6 armor, no way they will fix it
Based on the visible part of the MG’s barrel, I would say with 99% certainty that it is an MG5.
To be honest, I think its just a FN Mag like on KF-41;
Maybe the BW would replace it once it actually enters service but idk…
Not even sure whether MG5 can be fed from RH side.
Now that I’ve seen your pictures, I’m not 99% sure anymore.
The first Boxer sWaTrInf are supposedly arriving at the unit in the next few weeks. We’ll certainly know more then.
that seems to be the case, I got a reply from the BAANBw saying its a not in BW service MG on the pictures, therefore for now the FN MAG is correct, but it kinda sounds like that will change in the future
