Puma/KF41 Rate Of Fire

Machinery of War Discussion Ground Vehicle

I have made a bug report about the fire rate of the Puma and the KF41 on how their main gun the MK 30-2/ABM. Currently in-game, both IFVs have their rate of fire at 200 rpm. However, I found multiple sources stating that the MK 30-2/ABM has another rate of fire at ~700 rpm, yet when providing numerous sources to prove my point, I get a short and disappointing response to which I was/am unable to respond to in order to help my case.

Here is my bug report: PUMA/KF41 Rate Of Fire // Gaijin.net // Issues

and here is the link to the disappointing response: PUMA IFV missing burst fire setting // Gaijin.net // Issues

Why do we as a community have to provide multiple sources to have the bug report accepted and potentially reviewed, while they get to say “yeah I emailed the head of the German Army and you’re wrong”

I think on the Skyranger variants the fire rate was increased to 700 rpm but for the PUMA and Lynx its limited to 200 rpm

3

1000 shots per minute, also have a mod for 200 shots per minute

4

This is límited to 200 rpm by fabricant and can’t be changed by gunner

5

Skyranger 30 fires at 1200 rpm it uses a different cannon

Little info! The 200 shots per minute are implemented incorrectly in the game… You can simply test it and count how many shots come out per second. I already made a mistake report but once again we ignore it…

If Budeswehr the user of those vehicles says that it’s 200 rpm i think it’s quite clear and no amount of secondary sources should change that.

Reinmetall themself list the Puma Infantry Fighting Vehicle as an example when they show the gun statistics. They list the 600rpm as optional on request. Its possible to configure the gun this way. Its probably just not used on any of the tanks the germans have ordered due to not meeting the requirements on accuracy. I would be happy to have this as an “experimental module” on the tank that ruins accuracy on long range

accuracy requirement not fullfilt (secondary source):

The MK30-2/ABM has a fire rate of 700 rounds per minute but had to be limited to 200 rounds per minute to meet the required accuracy. It can further depress to -10° and elevate to +45°. The turret itself has a magazine for 200 rounds.

the issue is that its physically limited by the countries who asked for the cannon aka germany and hungary have it limited to 200 RPM on purpose and cant be changed by the gunner
