PUMA VJTF Spikes are.....bad!
Tried them out 14 times in the Test Drive. Got a single Kill. Tried out aiming up, firing straight on the Enemy....only one Kill, multiple times it literally bounced / ricochet, all the other times it hit and...did nothing. No Damage to Crew nor Tank.

Amazing
Spikes arent bad, its the way gaijin implemented them, instead of going top-down they just hit the center front of the tank if its heading towards you, this will prevent you from getting a kill and only results in damaging its armor if its a chinese or russian tank spikes are even less effective as its hitting only their ERA.

I couldn't even kill the Tanks w/o ERA in the Test Drive, made no difference if i aimed up / whether it hit on the Top or anywhere else. Tried it out for a total of 18 times now and only got two Kills against the T10M and T64, multiple bounces and rest of the time when it hit it did absolutely nothing except for one single critical Hit.

its spose to hit them straight up down from above, this was chosen by gaijin to prevent it from becoming too effective.

I use my Computer-Mouse to click on Test Drive, press X+Alt to lock onto any of the Tanks and then i press MB5 (my Keybind for firing the ATGMs) and then i watch the ATGM hitting xy Tank doing...nothing.

As said above i tried it out for a total of 18 times now, only got two Kills, multiple bounces/ricochets, only one critical Hit and the other Hits all did no Damage.

Asked in the Hangar-Chat as well and everyone there confirmed too that they suck.

spikes from the ground are better at taking out helis than they do tanks

Yeah the spikes are doggy doo. Here is hoping that now a major nation has got them on a TT gaijin will actually do something about them when 200,000 germoids cry out in fury as all 10 of their spikes bounce off a T-72.

I use them with the Vilkas and I find they’re pretty good at killing everything except Abrams. I fired six at the same Abrams yesterday and didn’t even get a critical hit.
