Armored Vehicle Lovers Group
Hobbies & Interests
this is a group, (like the tank and aircraft lovers) is dedicated to the IFV (infantry fighting vehicle) like the BMP-2 the M2A2 bradly and so on and so forth, from made up to real life, and anything in between. from treads to wheels to hover, this is for all you people who enjoy those rumbling rolling armored vehicles, that when on the target drop their ramps to emit a large group of infantry.

Description
This WWII German IFV had a 50mm KwK 39 L/60 (=Length 60cm) , with a max speed of 80 Km/h road, with 30mm turret armor, and 10mm chassis armor.
Dont wanna be asmartass, but thats more an armoured car than a IFV...
Armored cars similar to IFV's since their main purpose was attacking infantry, infantry support, and recon.
so in a way it can be called an:
IFV
Armored car
Recon Car
Just depends on how you see it.
and its not being a smartass.
I could call a Bradly a Light Tank since it has Treads and a cannon but still.
Yep, that's right. ESPECIALLY the Puma was more of an IFV than any other recon, since it got a weapon powerful enough to deal with most allied tanks, even at large distances, thus able to give infantry good fire support if needed. Compare this to the old Sd.Kfz. 232 and 233, they had no anti tank gun at all and were completely helpless when attacked by a tank.. The Puma at least could protect itself
Puma its a scout car like the Ferret or german 8 Wheel Luchs and not an IFV
