So they really looked at the PUMA and said
“You know, this looks pretty good, but you know what this really needs? The turret being the biggest weakspot.”

Given we dont have a single 11.0 or 11.3 ground vehicle… probably
And where would you place the Flanker? At the top (hypothetical 14.7) or leave it at 14.3?
The positive things for me was bomber survivability, the random vehicle mechanic that we already heard about, and the new “Aerial warfare” mode, even though we don’t have any details I’m happy to hear it’s coming.

If Gaijin buffs the reload then sure but this makes it basically a worse 9035 at 10.3 for anti tank roles

Imma just be real Puma is better than AJAX by having the unmanned turret alone, i think Puma will win in survivability as well and at 10.3 BR where it’s at a bigger caliber won’t help in frontal engagements anyway and sides are still easy because there’s not as much K5
So it being more than 10.3 would not make any sense
true what im hoping is
Ajax 10.3
Blackjax 10.7-11.0
Boxer LMUK 11.0
Ajax IFV 11.0-11.3

Yeah, looks about right to me
Good question tbh, I’m not even sure.
Puma gets shot in the turret it instantly blows the tracks off and without any way to escape or defend lol
That’s some chonky side armor. What do you think it’s kinetic protection is like?
10mm if the TES is anything to go off of (ignore the 130-150ke protection provided by the manufacturers)

IIRC those are just the weird side boxes / mounting points, the actual side armour kit is much thicker.
Yeah, I could have sworn that the turret was capable of being operated remotely
Now, I’m not a combat vehicle designer, but to me it seems like manned turrets are a bit of an outdated concept. I feel like an unmanned turret would also make more sense for something like the Ajax
Like Smug said, maybe the tool boxes would give better KE protection than the composite array XD

With the new Ajax news gaijin will probably add a feature where the crew’s health diminishes over time
