600rpm, my bad. Afaik tho, its never used at that fire rate in the Puma. The sticking point for players isnt that its missing that mode though, its that the low fire rate is specifically to manage overheating and maximize accuracy, and in-game, the gun is incredibly inaccurate and overheats quickly…

This document from Rheinmatal (primary source) puts the accuracy of the Mk30-2ABM at <0.5mil, which means the rounds should have less than 0.5m dispersion out at 1000m. I believe theres sources that put it even lower than that, but despite all the evidence, gaijin still made it the least accurate autocannon in-game…

Getting kinda off topic tho, Im just always kind of annoyed when the 2A42 performs like the greatest 30mm ever made in WT when irl it has some glaring issues that if modelled in WT would make the BMP-2’s much less blatantly overpowered…

600RPM “burst” what’s that all about?

probs an AA mode employing AHEAD rounds. Theyre typically seen shot in short high ROF bursts in footage.

So, not sustained?

not according to this document, though I have previously seen claims it could.

I’d make sure it’s an actual option for full automatic fire.

@MythicPi the puma fire rate is limited and correctly stated in the game.
The Puma has the gun specialy build in with a special catch mechanic to further increase the accuracy. It cant change between fire modes
