tnx but i refuse to fight spike at 9.0, and faf ammo reqire so litle effort to use that making a kill should be an exepticion not a rule
30mm 200RPM sounds like a BushMaster
I meant the PUMA without spikes should be 9.7 and the one with såikes should be 10.0-10.3
Yes
I do not know
So it you could basically conpare this to the BMPT since they are the same BR and are both unkillable with your logic
Then 9.3 it is!
Yup
Aight bro
Except its developed by Rheinmetall and it can use 700 RPM fire rate. It uses 200 on PUMA for better accuracy and have AHEAD specifically developed for itself.

I beg to differ spikes are “meh” but they are situational and effective in open maps mainly. What I do see is people using them in the worst possible ways most of the times and not utilizing commanders sight on their vehicles to remain in cover.

yeah please explain me bmpt same no have crew in turret 90% of players no use hull down tactic why have broken stats wit this? hull down with puma in fron u penetrate nothing only light tanks u no flank tanks with puma every time get shot in turret and lose all ammo afther this what do?
No? The PUMA has air tracking anti air ammo and definitely more armor than both of them lol. If you think the PUMA is bad you’d hate to play both of them and let me tell you, they are already bad at their own tier.
PUMA can’t go down unless the other trashmaster’s go down

The PUMA appears appropriately placed at BR 10.7 to 11 alongside vehicles such as the CV90 Mk.IV and CRV Block 2. It offers comparatively stronger frontal protection, including resistance to .50 cal fire, and its composite armor and ERA provide some survivability against HEAT rounds, advantages not equally shared by its counterparts. While these benefits diminish at higher tiers, they support the case that the PUMA is currently balanced at its assigned BR. Though I would say its statistics are bad I do not think it’s the worst.
My opinion, people are playing it like a MBT instead of taking a step down and playing it as a support vehicle. Flanking, stealth, avoiding engagements that are unwindable and moving behind teammates providing support. I have also been guilty of this when I was less experienced as a player. And Germany tends to have a lot of new players.
Eh MK.IV could go down but it shouldn’t, it’s definitely the worst 10.7 ifv, no anti air rounds (it has irl,) no anti air tracking. It’s overweight and based on what gaijin wants rather than what was actually produced so it’s weight values are fictional. It’s armor is below what is advertised cause it’s clearly a marketing lie.
Imo it could go down to 10.3 but it shouldn’t, if it goes down I would like gaijin to reevaluate all spike slingers and position them appropriately and buff/fix them

10.0 minimum for the no spike Puma, unless the other 30mm bushmaster LTs move down as well.

Ye.
Puma isnt uniquelly affected by the issue of autocannon tanks being more on the gimmicky side of balance scale and it remains ever so slightly better than the other autocannon only vehicles.

It’s a much bigger CV9030 with an unmanned turret. Aside from that, they’re basically identical. Same terrible protection, same type of gun, same fire rate, overheat, pen, and so on. The unmanned turret is an advantage, but it’s also huge as hell and can be disabled by 50cal random hits.
Also, right now it sits at 10.3 while the CV9030 sits at 9.3. Then PUMA belongs at 10.0 at the most, or more realistically at 9.7.
And you’re moving the goalpost. The PUMA can be easily overpressured by hitting the turret because GJN nerfed it’s armor to the point 50cal can punch through in some area. Hell HEAT-FS and co can take it out and sometimes even detonating the SPIKES does.
Because its not Russian.
Really, that’s likely most of it. When coupled with PTSD from the PUMA experience most people had from before.
