IDK what to write here
The PUMA gets a softkill APS called MUSS on top of the turret. Idk if it is still functional or bugged again tho.
Is it bugged? if so i will compile a report
Gonna test it real quick, its just a simple IR dazzler that should turn independently towards the launcher.
Big thing on the top?
I’m guessing only works against stuff like mavs, kh29s and spikes
this thing.
It does turn but the M901 is to close in the test drive to test the effect on the missile.
if ur in game i could do a custom with u
No it is almost useless in-game. If I am not mistaken it only works against CLOS missiles like the TOW.
Sure set up a custom and send me an invite
done’
yeah, a SACLOS missile has a strobe on the tail that the targeting system tries to keep center in the cross hair, the dazzler washes it out so it cannot pick out the strobe amongst all the IR light the dazzler is pumping out. It wont work on a MCLOS as the gunner is controlling the missile by eye and beam riding missiles have the tracker in the tail of the missile looking back to track the beam from the firing vehicle so it cannot be washed out from the front.
Not sure how it works with IR seekers, I’m assuming it’s either a different wavelength or just not powerful enough to wash them out.

So yeah it still works, its reaction time is just very slow and FOV angles are extremely limited
Regular IR seekers would probably get jammed (if they are in the right wavelength) and IIR seekers would just go into HOJ mode

Are spikes not ir?
Irl they are IIR. Gaijin doesn’t have that mode modelled yet so they might get affected by dazzlers, simply just bc LDIRCM works on them. never seen that happen tho
