Yeah the leaks were wrong about it being the PUMA S1. Unless they plan on adding a module upgrade that makes it into PUMA S1 which would make sense since the only upgrades for the S1 is MUSS 2 and new Spikes.

Gaijin just scared their Russian player can’t kill PUMA since MUSS 2.0 can handle such as Beam Riding missile.

That makes a lot more sense. The puma in the dev looks nothing like this one
The Puma in this configuration with MUSS 2.0 and the turret-independent grenade launcher was shown for the first time ever 1.5 months ago.
It was not yet clear what this version would look like.
And since it can be assumed that updates are planned many months or even a year in advance, it should come as no surprise to anyone that such a new version is not added to the game less than 2 months after the first images were published. Especially when you consider how many bugs the original version of the Puma still has
Let’s hope that’s really true this time.
Unfortunately, with standard atgms it will most likely still only be wire-guided atgms without IRCCM, although the source I found explicitly states that MUSS 1.0 is effective against optically tracked wire-guided, jam resistant 2nd and 3rd generation (those guided by IR seeker) missiles. So also TOW 2A and 2B.
I also wonder whether laser beam riding missiles count as standard atgms or laser guided.
laser beam riding means its laser guided
Yes, but I can still hope that they only mean SAL with laser guided :/
afaik MUSS 2.0 cant counter beam riding altough hendsolt has been working on making it counter beam riding i havent seen yet any sign of it countering beam riding missiles
calling it, MUSS 3.0 will fire targeted EMP blasts to fry the electronic components of incoming missiles/warheads

Is MUSS 2.0 much smaller or is it just the camera angle in the pictures above?
Compared to previous MUSS 1.0 we have in-game (picture), its a lot smaller.
