I’ve not encountered this on ANY other vehicle. But regularly after a turret hit and subsequent repair some parts of it appear to NOT be properly repaired. So after shooting 1-2 times with an auto cannon it enters a lengthy reload recycle, meaning you can basically J out as the vehicle becomes unuseable.
Do you have a replay or video of it happening?
I’ll try and find the next time it happens. Often times the horizontal aiming drive appears to only be repaired to orange after the turret burned out/got hit. And then the gun appears to be treated as having a damaged autoloader.
My first instinct is that the ammo got destroyed but didn’t explode and once you’ve repaired you have one or two shots left (one in the chamber and one readied) and after that it has to re-load the belts.
No, it keeps entering the reload cycle as if misfiring.
If that’s the case then you can bug report it here (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about): (Gaijin.net // Issues)
A guide on how to report bugs can be found here: ([Navigation] Technical Knowledge Base | War Thunder Wiki)
On reported and known bugs for the Puma, is there any new info, or hopefully an ETA on the bug that causes you to lose your tracks when ammunition is taken?
That would be a question for one of the Technical Moderators. You can find all the teams and the areas they handle listed here: (Who is who and Reporting Procedure). If you don’t get an answer within a few days you can add more moderators from the list to the original message instead of sending a new message (that way you preserve the date of the message and it doesn’t look like a new request), adding one of the moderators to the message every 2-3 days or so until you get an answer.
Please do not to add the seniors until you have tried all other regular moderators, the Seniors likely won’t answer unless they are added and pinged by the regular moderators but if you’ve added all the regular moderators with no answer then you can add the seniors.

Get hit in the turret once, it burns out and takes the ammo with it. After the repair it makes it almost impossible to shoot because every 1-2 shots it enters a lengthy reload cycle. More than once too. So no it’s not left over ammo and a new reload, that ammo burned up.
Even switching to a different belt doesn’t fix it.
Yeah that looks like a bug as the extra ammo instead of the loaded one is the one that disappears from your hud while in the x ray the extra ammo is still there at the bottom of the tank while the loaded ammo is the one that is gone.
I recommend bug reporting it as described above.
I do support him though. It does happen.
Happens since its release
