[2.14.0.30] Puma IFV turret lacks its NERA array.

[Jεcka 4,618]

Currently the turret is protected by a thin aluminium - RHA mesh; that is incorrect:

 

The turret is protected by a double/tripple layer of NERA:

 

The turret is as well rated STANAG 6 - meaning it should be resistant to 30mm APFSDS.

 

Additional information about the aluminium alloy:

"The company Aleris said that it supplied aluminum armor for the manufacture of prototypes "Puma"; although not officially confirmed, but apparently. Aleris also supplied aluminum alloy armor for the Puma series models. The alloys that Aleris manufactures and which can be used to make the Puma Tower include aluminum alloys of the grades AA2519 and AA7039. With the same level of protection, they allow you to save from 15 to 20 weight percent compared to aluminum grade 5059 (in turn, much stronger than the old 5083 alloy)."
