It ain’t a lot if all you get is assists, yeah I got someone’s driver a few times from the front but getting kills is much more important
Here are my PUMA activity logs, check out the kills and deaths you will see it could kill things and not trading one vehicle for one kill. I personally think it is in a good position now, it can go down but I don’t really care much
Alr, you made your point, it’s just a skill issue
anything with Explosive mass from cannon around 120mm has a chance to kill hull down PUMA depend on where it hit and angle it not really that hard to kill unless one doesn’t have HEAT or HE with them at all.
Nah, everybody starts somewhere, when I first got it my KD is negative, if you wanna get nuke just camp, trust me it will annoy the enemy and make them quit, and take little to no skills to do it.
I hadn’t played the Spike variants but the 10.3 one, all my 160 deaths I hadn’t been once killed by a shot to the turret, some T-series that I perform barrel/track torture do tried to shot me with HE as soon as he got his FCS back, due to low velocity they can’t hit that turret bit, also when I do get hit nothing happen. I also shot this thing in the turret and tried the 152mm HE from Object 292 iirc it doesn’t kill it, I have never managed to kill a PUMA through the turret, not yet.
There are a lot better vehicles to get a nuke.
You can’t camp, I get nuked by CAS if I stay in one place for 2 minutes
Like i said it depend on angle if you can get turret and crew as possible higher chance to survive HE like hull down and turning turret to the side
try to hit near the crew much as possible that how i usually kill hull down PUMA might not work every time but usually for me not take more than three shot
Sometimes I notice puma had it so much easier compare to something the likes of m3a3 Bradley lol like horeshet bro how do you play this thing? You exposed your turret when you peek the hill with binocular, the view height is unusually low, and taking a hit often spells death because two turret crews sitting in jerkoff distance and we have three crews total. Missile is as slow as Maus and on top of that there is this missiles pod retracting when you drive past certain speed, which means if you running into an enemy then you are not going to be quick enough to use the missile, so that leave you a cannon that is smaller and much worse than PUMA’s in terms of stopping power and firing rate. Can’t camp properly and can’t head-on properly, it’s not good at anything there is a reason why I hadn’t order the M60 AMBT. Not to mention the Bradley also slow as hell you can’t get into position at all. PUMA while being bad at driving around, it definitely one of the best vehicle to play passively lol
Spike one is good too, but the most based camo is on a default one unfortunately.
I got killed a couple of times by soviet magic HE via shot in the MUSS lol.
I could feel it’s a lot harder to play well, because soviet in that br starts getting really good optic at 12x zoom, which makes them less likely to miss your turret, which means more fireworks and sit around reparing, that time you can continue to play mind games with them and bait them into shooting your turret so your teammates could return fire. 10.3 ones are definitely easier to play, its still face enemies with 8x-10x so if you sit far enough they are not going to hit your turret, noticed that >1km only TURMS-T will always hit my turret because it has very good fcs with 12x zoom, where T-72B with 8x just sit there and let me farm the rp and lions while they misses every shots lol
I’m halfway through Ace so once I get there I can shred off another 2-3 seconds of repair time hopefully.
My problem at top tier is soviet APFSDS absorbing side ERA, it’s just ridiculous. You give it like 10 shots and it only becomes a slight tint of red. You can shoot lower, but then autoloader absorbs APFSDS like there’s no tommorow. It’s much harder because TTK is significantly higher. But still, not bad, especially the SPIKE’s. Which are basically early game CAS if map is bad enough (which there’s quite a few, lol).
