Puma IFV has no Barracuda package, cause IR suppression is already considered and “built in”. Unfortnately Gajin’s War Thunder models heat of jet engines and how accessible this is to IR guided missiles…but doesn’t do any calculations considering the IR profile of ground vehicles. They all appear the same generic way, even when you camoflage them up with vegetation. Even when they have Barracuda spectral camouflage like this ingame Challenger.
Would look like this. Russian Su-25’s currently see every enemy vehicle in bright white from many km away, from altitude and shot their KH’s from far outside SAM range. There is no way to hide. Its like russian perma win mode. Something needs to be done and this would be a simple way.
(Better would have been not to introduce anti ground missiles and target pods which work from dozens km away. Its so dumb. This gameplay is meh, even for WT standards. Pointless turkeyshot.)
didn’t know the Puma had IR suppression built in. Have you thought of making a bug report about it? Not that gaijin has historically fixed any of the Puma’s major bugs…
Protection value aside, it simply looks good. Wounder why Gajin didn’t used it. Instead all Leopards look almost identical. They should have done it as they did with the Challenger.
