After the old forum thread got abandoned due to the creation of the new forums we’ve decided to come foward and recreate a new thread talking about the Schützenpanzer PUMA and in order to do this i will start with the info about the PUMA.
The PUMA ifv came in the update “Wind of Change” as an 8.3 vehicle rapidly moved to 9.7 and then put at 10.0 the issue about the vehicle came up with the fact that it was missing almost all of its features and was settled as one of the most incomplete vehicles that has made it ingame.
List of current issues
-credits to x_Shini_
hence why i re open this thread to speak about this vehicle and share info with the sole purpose of achieving either a fun talk about it or a common fix for the issues of this vehicle, from now on the thread purpose its to share info and talk with other members that are interested in talking about this vehicle.
