Hey guys, I’ve saved up a ton of gjn coin from selling old vehicles coupons, totalling up to around 200 gjn coin, and I’m trying to decide whether to spend it on the M60 AMBT or the Pak Puma. The Pak Puma has been my dream vehicle for years, basically ever since i started playing the game, but I’m currently leaning a bit towards the M60 AMBT because I’ve been really enjoying the US tech tree as of late. It’s probably gonna take me years before I can get enough gjn coin from selling vehicle coupons to get the chance to purchase either of these vehicles again, so I’m trying to make a good decision on which one to buy.
No.

M60 AMBT is prob the best M60 in game, overall good. Pak Puma is funny and a good light tank for Germany, overall good. Do you like higher tiers more or lower tiers? Both are overall great.

Pak Puma is unique and incredibly good.
I hardly play it because it feels kinda unfair.

Why not either of them? I can’t convert the gjn into real money, unfortunately. And theres no premiums left that i really want. So I am kinda forced to spend it on a gjn market vehicle.
Is it true that it can be uptiered and still be super effective? I’ve heard stories of people uptiering it to 5.7 or even 6.7 and still getting tons of kills, sometimes even nukes.
Well, it basically plays like a M18 with a better reverse gear, minus the turret.
Forced to spend it? tf? Invest it in premium time, next prem acc sale is in a month. Use it to trade in the markedplace, make a fortune and spend it on Talis and Crew.
But anyways…
Pakpuma is fun, but gets old very quick. Players are getting more and more crap on that BR and its getting dull quick. But its good enough to farm SL with it… so… atleast somewhat usefull, even though the 300% SL modifier is real crap.
M60A3, never player it. Sits at a weird BR. Tank is not super mobile but okayisch, for the non excisting armor a bit slow though. Ammo slaps hard, but KE-W can be crap at times.
In a uptier ure reload is longer then everyone elses (aced), other then russia. So tradeoff shots will usually not work in your favour.
All M60 have also one big issue, the gun is mounted pretty low on the turred, so anyone shooting at you will likely just shred you to pieces by shooting your turred. ALso the stuff on top the the AMBT will poke over any hill u might want to fight on, so… ehm… not very helpfull either. But when thats not the issue and u can get the critical hit u needed from that 25mm heat MG… then that can be very nice,.
And that its not a Premium will also not help motivating you to play it.
In summary, the AMBT is a Sabra Mk1 with a much better engine but also lesser armor and with stuff on top that makes you easier to get spotted but can also be your best friend on times.
Would not recomment to buy either when u have only 200 GJN. There are better option to spend or invest them into that will bring usually more joy. (like crew)
M60AMBT is fun to play, if you played in the right way.
neither.
Things OP as hell but nothing in a video game is worth $190
$180 to be bullied by challengers, T72s and Leopards.
Pak Puma over the AMBT. The Pak Puma is a really fun vehicle, amazing gun, amazing mobulity, and I often run it with my 4.3 tank destroyers for those dailies. The no armour does put a time on your life because all the people you kill will come back in planes, but you can get plenty done before then. The AMBT is a bit odd, it isnt bad, but it really does live or die off the power of the gun, if you dont shoot first, you will almost certainly be disabled in return and die.

Save your money, no pixel vehicle is worth that much
Though, if you dont already have it, I can highly reccomend the KV-220 off the gaijin market, that thing is an absolute beast, it is the bane of every tiger player and its resonable cheap currently. I wrote an article for the wiki because i enjoy playing it so much if you want to know more about it or some tips on how to play it. The KV-220 - A Tigers worst nightmare | War Thunder Wiki

But that bro has endgame ammunition and it’s at 10.0 lol this one and Sabra can easily kill everything they see without much effort. I actually plan to get it once I learned how to play the m3a3 Bradley. I’ve actually been messing around with the 20mm from Leopard 2k, already bind a key to aim the top mounted mg and use them to troll enemy via track torture in hull down position, goddamn bro it’s fun when you can hit them but they can’t hit you. Bet the AMBT can do this better than Leo 2k lol

It cannot. The 25mm autocannon is a grenade launcher, it has terrible ballistics, is difficult to aim at short distances and is unable to reach longer distances.

Do you want those vehicles or there’s something that fits your style at lower price? Do you want to use your GJN on the Marketplace or you can use it for other in-game products? If you want to buy said vehicles, will they fit your playstyle/line-up? There’s various of variables you should consider to buy something of the Marketplace, that’s why I restrict myself to historical or semi-historical camouflages.
If I was going to buy something, I’d throw on the TCM AGS anyways, as your main options is the M60 AMBT and/or SdKfz 234/4, I recommend the M60 AMBT, I personally like the slower approach that this vehicle requires not because of the speed but also the armor, however the firepower is a huge advantage, counting the fire control system combined with the 25 mm autocannon with HEDP ammunition, is a decent weapon to disable enemy vehicles if played well.
I tested it again, can confirm the damage dealt is higher than the Leopard’s 20mm, once you switch to mg sight then you can laser range find so the ballistic will not be a problem, and the good thing is now you can actually arc the bullets to hit targets sitting behind cover since the velocity is rather low, it will be an untilmate troll weapon lol
Since I don’t have the vehicle yet, the only thing I worry is whether a hit to the chaingun module will result in ammo cook off, like your Leopard gets hit in the 20mm then you find the ammo all gone.
