The PUMA’s (and similar vehicles) should get ammo boxes

The PUMA’s are relatively okay vehicles except for 1 huge flaw that bothers me whenever I play them.

If your turret gets penned by anything, it is almost guaranteed to set off the ammo,. This would be fine if this thing didn’t only have 4 belts, but it does, making it so that way it’s effective play style (a hull down / hidden auto cannon vehicle) absolutely useless.

Since they are not very competitive vehicles already, I think they should get ammo boxes to replenish their ammo (and spikes for the VJTF). This I believe would be perfectly fine, as they aren’t crazy strong or anything of that nature and it would allow the to be played more effectively.

War Thunder is not leaning torwards a more complex team-based game I.e. infantry fighting vehicles acting as engineers for the team, ammo boxes came out as solution for anti-air vehicles that couldn’t reach nowhere near the middle of the map and sit in the captured zone to reload, the fact self-propelled guns get this is a symptom of this solution.

While true, the problem is that a good majority of the time the PUMA is useless as it gets its ammo shot and it can’t really do much to rearm. It would be nice if it could be a little more effective by adding this.
