REMOVING THE THING WE HATE MOST FROM WAR THUNDER

The BMP-2M buff has been live for over 24 hours now. I felt a little guilty that players have to put up with it so I decided to bring back Balance to War Thunder with the German PUMA AFV and the G.91 R/4!
The PUMA in War Thunder is a German AFV which is one of the most modern vehicles we currently have in game. It's equipped with a 30mm autocannon that fires a similar APFSDS round to the BMP-2M but with an extra 20mm of penetration at 122mm!
The thing that sets apart the PUMA from the BMP-2M is that it's actually one of the most survivable vehicles we currently have in game. It's absolutely covered in armour panels and composite blocks that overlap causing issues not only for HEAT-FS and other Chemical Rounds... but even APFSDS too! The crew are also insanely spread out and there is no crew in the turret either!
The PERFECT tool for taking out the Overpowered BMP-2M!
We fight Fire WITH Fire!

[@clonerwesker]

You know, I'd like to see the addition of a repair/rearm point in the spawn areas for all BRs. Planes are able to fully repair and heal crew at the air field, ground forces should be able to as well. Restock FPE charges, put ERA back on, heal and replace lost crew members. But as the battle goes on it takes longer and does less. Simulating supplies being depleted.

[@Tentacl]

It would reinforce people camping from close to the spawns. I'd like IFVs acting as resupply vehicles - they don't carry infantry, so they have plenty if space for supplies.

[@clonerwesker]

@@Tentacl certainly interesting but War Thunder doesn't really have much team play outside of getting rammed from behind and shoved into enemies to be bait

[@asiftalpur3758]

Leave it to furries to hold the worst thought out ideas for a game. Ground rb isn't a one tank battle match. Grind out lineups instead of relying on perpetually preserving that one tank you like and that one playstyle you think is rewarding. Being a bottom tier and watching enemy heavy tanks recuperating everything they have only to roll into your spawn without crew loss is just a dumb proposition.

Don't get me wrong it is very strong and 9.3 is...probably the perfect BR for it but the fact that russian teams are just...that single minded to let that happen just further cements the idea that russia literally NEEDS shit at dummy low BR's because otherwise they literally can't make up for their brainlet energy.

I am absolutely loving the IFV gameplay lately.. nothing better than a 5 feed flank.

[@annadelsiena]

I honestly don't think you would've got a different outcome on that first clip if you'd have been in any other IFV Odd :D (okay maybe the warrior) I dunno what it is but you always seem to get the most oblivious teams that let you sideshoot their entire team away ^^ As survivable as the PUMA is, it's got nowhere near the tools the BMP-2 has, or any other IFV that has a missle launcher tbh ^^ bein survivable is nice but that is depending on getting hit which you honestly shouldn't

[@aflyingcowboy31]

You couldn't have done that in many other IFVs, the BMP2m maybe, but none of the other IFVs could have, why? Let's use the Bradley as an example, it takes multiple seconds to deploy the TOW launcher so that is irrelevant for that type of engagement, also doesn't have the speed, and would have also have died after being shot by the T64B so a Bradley would only get one kill in a similar engagement, you can apply the same thing to every other IFV at this BR bar the BMP2M, which could as it can fire all four ATGMs on the move, so survivability doesn't matter for the BMP2M, but the fact that the PUMA somehow survived all those shots in the first clip proves you wrong, survivability is one of the main reasons the PUMA is broken.
