It didn’t need them. It was fighting fucking 7.3-8.3 MBTs/heavy tanks that barely had darts and stabilizers lmao.
It was incredibly tanky to the most common HEAT-FS rounds and it was mobile enough that the majority of said 7.3-8.3 vehicles couldn’t even get a shot off.
Anyone who wasn’t a German main at the time realizes how bad it was to play against the Puma when it released.
None of them made their br unplayable lmao.
The ju is at worst supremely annoying
Fighting heavies and russians in a puma is pain lol
And I was fighting it. Didn’t make me quit the whole br bracket unlike the fucking terminator
You just track and barrel them and wait for a team mate. Getting hit by a 7.3-8.3 Russian heavy in the puma was already a skill issue back then.
If it makes you feel better whatabouting the more op bmpt…
f14 / iran f14 broke the game
f18a against 11.3
wyverm that you cant catch
a2d-1 that just spam bomb is ground
ju288c with insane 2.5t bomb
It made me completely skip 7.3-8.3 for the duration, and since I am actually a somewhat decent player that barely happens.
M2K-CS4 secretly being better at the same br is always funny to me
Ok yeah the a2d maybe.
I dumped half a mag of minengeschosse in it with an arado and nothing back then
Are you still arguing about the vehicle? Guys, the minimum changes to the vehicle have been made, but important things like upgrading its BR haven’t been done.
The topic is taking on gigantic proportions and yet it is being ignored by most of the mods and devs. There are things being said here that would normally be removed in a minute at most.
BUT, keep fighting even though 70% of the thread has turned into an absurd defense of the vehicle being “balanced” and that the vehicle’s 80% win rate is fictitious.
Agreed.
Easy to twll who wants to keep his noob nuke printer
But worry not, it WILL get nerfed heavily soon. Because im researching the tt version now and historically the nerfs always come when im about to unlock a meta vehicle
I think that if I buy the vehicle now, it’s possible that the nerf will be implemented five minutes after the purchase is made.
moved faster, moved up an entire BR and not just .3, got nerfed hard and then moved up again. The thing was absolutely destroying the game when it was added but it also got punished for it lol
best part of this “its not russian bias” is that its TANK DESTROYER so it gets ammo boxes so it can kill more tanks but also gets as ONLY tank destroyer in game Artillery support :D
Also remember the bs nerfs to leo and abrams because they „survives too many side shots“. R400 too with the turret basket. Temeinator? Ahistorical bullshit ammo belts that don’t destroy the vehicle and no turret basket etc
Honestly the release Puma, BMPT and release Leopard 2K are probably the only 3 times I had to completely stop playing certain BRs due to a vehicle that I can remember.
They can’t fix that, they are too busy buffing it more
2k? Ok i guess
Release Leopard 2K had a 5 second reload, a black hole mantlet that would suck up any damage and was 8.7.
So yeah if you were actually close to top tier around that time you would have actually known what it was like.
Just ask a friend if they want to 1v1 you if you want a sample of the experience. They get to bring the Leopard 2K while you stick with the M60A1 AOS.
