The PUMA VTJF is a German light tank placed at 11.0, why in all worlds would this thing be 11.0, the Bozer’s Like the CRV Block 2 or the New “sWaTrgInf” share the same gun and missiles as the PUMA, and are still at a lower BR. I have been thinking for hours about why the PUMA is at such a high BR where it faces the new BMPT which is an absolutely indestructible demon. And i have finally come to a conclusion, Gaijin are greedy little 💩’s, that only care about two thing’s: The Russian Tech Tree and Money, aaaannd without a good game/too expensive game that is all about Russia, you aint getting money, So move the PUMA to 9.7 and the PUMA VJTF to 10.0 or 10.3,
The reason for 9.7 is because that where all the 30mm BushMaster IFV’s sit, EFV, CV9030 FIN, M1296 - you name it. And the reason for 10.0 or 10.3 is where 30mm BushMasters with Spike missiles sit, CRV Block 2, sWaTrgInf, Vilkas, etc.
and arguably the boxer crv is more on par with the 11.0 ones like the kf41
to be clear I dont think spike vehicles should necessarily be as high as they are but the Puma VJTF isn’t really worse off than any other spike vehicle (apart from the freccias probably)
Spikes, if modeled properly, would absolutely deserve 11.0, maybe even higher. Same with Bushmasters to be honest. Sometimes feels like I’m throwing twigs by hand with how crappy they are.
Because any tank that has “SPIKES” as in GJNs very unfavourable implementation of it gets massively overtiered.
The PUMA is hit worst, because it was originally undertiered and then got massively overcorrected. While also being nerfed to the point something with Stanag 6 can now be killed by 50cals.
