Schützenpanzer Puma IFV: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. Part 2!

Puma Rework Incoming

@Smin1080p_WT

PUMA

While working with the suggestions and reports on the PUMA IFV and studying additional sources and materials, we came to a conclusion that the current Damage Model and armor can be revised. And some changes will already be made in the Heavy Cavalry update. In the future, we plan a more through revision of the Damage Model (including armor), which will eliminate current inaccuracies and improve clarity, as well as an addition of spall liner and correcting the placement of internal modules.

We did it! We finally managed to get a Rework on the Puma. 🎉

[Dontkev-psn]

Eh, I still have my doubts (Looks at Promised Leopard 2 Rework which we were told 3-4 years ago)

I only believe it once we get the changes

[royal_RxpTor]

That is a very good stance on it right now so lets wait on How they Implement it.

[royal_RxpTor]

Puma IFVs (All) missing Hull Roof Armor → Not Enough Info (can kinda understand)

[Dontkev-psn]

Lets sneak into the Puma Cage in Munster, armed with a drill and test how thick the roof is xD

[royal_RxpTor]

I mean unironically that would be undeniable proof 😂

[Dontkev-psn]

+I have still the number of the Feldjäger/Military Police to buy us maybe 5 Minutes xD
Surely this would work :3

[Iluminas]

well it took like 5-6 years to get the Maus turret front fixed and we had a picture of the Maus turret front measured with a Measuring tape.

Btw still have the picture from back then XD

Spoiler

[UnHolySausage]

how this is going

[royal_RxpTor]

Grand Theft Puma The Heist 🤣

[Dontkev-psn]

I wonder of its planned to also rework the Igel/Hedgehog armor on the Puma, because the PzH 2000 would also profit from that, @Smin1080p_WT do you know if thats part of the (rework/overhaul)?

[royal_RxpTor]

First Armor Change spotted on the Puma IFV:



The Entire Hull is now mHHRA (including the Floor and Rear)

[Dontkev-psn]

Is it better or worse?

[royal_RxpTor]

So the Hull was RHA Before now its HHRA so… 1.1x more armor xd

[Dontkev-psn]

So better, atleast something xD

[royal_RxpTor]

I mean thats not exactly the Change i was honestly expecting but i mean… it does show they are working on it But this right now is probably just a start of this.

[royal_RxpTor]

Puma u14:

Puma VJTF:

As you can see it only adds 1mm of overall armor.

[Dontkev-psn]

Ye, I noticed on the Github update that apparently only the TT Pumas got the change xD

[royal_RxpTor]

However! This is Armor change is basically a Nothingburger for now. No place right now really blocks 14.5mm API (without the C Armor)
