Getting some bullpups would be nice, the Nords have been lacking ever since they nerfed the explosive filler…

These are the AS-30s which are quite good. 100kg of TNT equiv. compared to the 58kg on the Bullpup.

I also made this report a while ago, still waiting for a response from TrickZZter :D
This probably just ignorance, but how come the BMP2M’s fire rate is so high? It’s spitting out the same caliber round (more or less) as the Puma. Has it got something to do with the length of the round or its mass, or is it just German engineers being careful about the gun overheating?
On the old forum’s “Schutzenpanzer PUMA: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly”, i remember a point of contention was whether the limiter on the PUMA’s 30mm MK30-2/ABM could be removed. A series of pictures from inside the hull had seemed to show something of the sort.
The turret is unmanned so once the ammo is out, the crew must leave the hull has in order to restock the ammo, so ammo conservation is important. Ergo, the rate of fire is limited. It is for the same reason that the 30 mm was chosen over say, 35, 40 or 50 mm. Smaller calibre means more ammo can be stored.
Yeah was part of that discussion, in short no it is not possible, apparently the Puma gun has a special mechanic to catch the gun breatch to increase gun accuracy , it just is the case that this mechanic has not been implemented into the game yet and we dont benefit of this increased accuracy it should have, Gun overheating is still to high i think as well. But personaly after the update it got i dont have problems with the gun overheating realy
Its really funny to me that half of the entire discussion was a back and forth between users and mods that went something like:
Users: “Puma missing XYZ , please fix/add it.”
Mods: “Cannot, no other vehicle has this in game”

eh not completly true, KF41 shares them, i had hopes they would fix the gun issues at that point including AHEAD but oh well, the new sabot pedal mechanic at least seems like a good step to implement ahead

What they mean is that it hasn’t come to a Russian vehicle yet

Right when it was announced/added, i mean.
Wait thats right, it was the incorrect implementation of the MUSS that had the mods spitting out brain dead responses
no worries, it is natural that you get it confused, considering how long the bug list of the puma is
is it still the giant light bulb in night battles ?
been a while since i had night battles and puma in the same game
hmm not sure, havent used the puma yet in one of those, despite it being in my top tier lineup.
Nice, all my reports got acknowledged, AS-30 and Bullpup passed as suggestions.
That’s great. I’m still waiting on a mod to check on the Bagle report I did for its missing HWS. Might have to make a forum suggestion as well…
Could also be due to military doctrine. With the bmp2 using its main gun in very quick short bursts and trying not to be seen at all. While getting troops from one place to another over all terrain. Like i dont think the bmp2 was really designed for combat specifically but as a way to give troops a way to defend themselves in emergencies.
And the puma ifv being meant as more of a true mobile infantry fighting vehicle and heavily armored troop carrier. With the main weapons being designed around multiple day long engagements in a wide range of environments. I feel the puma was partly designed as a result of knowledge gained from the middle east and the importance of attrition.
weren’t these AS30s to be more specific AS30L (L for light)?
From what I can tell there is no such thing, just the regular AS-30 (MCLOS) and the AS-30L (laser). The one tested on the G.91 was the MCLOS version.
