Why is Germany doing so bad - quick overview of WW2 BR range

Its not meant to. I’m making a statement about the post.

Case in point. Thanks!

Gaijin deliberately created the problem by taking a PAK Puma, a vehicle produced in reasonable numbers and making it impossible to obtain mythical creature
Meanwhile it should be a part of a techtree, filling at least a part of the mobility/map control gap.

Normal puma is better and can be used up to 6.7 without any problems. Hellcat eater, bane of shermans, for soviets - the only reason they live is their magic fuel tanks, but it’s pretty workable. Actually the best BR for tech tree puma is 6.0.

Any idea what could plug up the Rank 3 gap though? No light tanks at all at Rank 3 is a bit restrictive. I can only really think of the Swiss Saurer but its closest counterpart is Rank 4 (Sub-I-II)
^Maybe the first Luchs?

Normal Puma has horrible pew-pew gun that requires you to be relatively close to kill anything.
PAK Puma is vastly superior, as it can’t be ignored.
Puma at 800m? Unless my T-34 is side on, I know he can pen maybe 1 in 10 shots, and he’ll need like 2-3 to take me out, so 20-30 shots in total.
M4 Sherman is safe within frontal 80 degrees, maybe 85, and that’s when firing from relatively short range.

Hellcat is dangerous because it hits hard. It needs 1 shot and Panther is gone and it penetrates Panther from every angle too. Shot to the turret front and Panther loses.turewt crew and transmission. Very fun.

Pak-Puma can lock-down maps.
Normal Puma can not.

Well, PAK-Puma, if Gaijin ever decides they care about the game (they don’t and they won’t)

Nice top post has been flagged by forum trolls.
What a great community!

You should have seen what these monkeys are doing. It looks like they got help downloading the game. They wouldn’t have had the brains to do that.

I can’t think of a time they’ve moved Premium → TT. They could change the Prem. to a “Western Front” one with camo net (not like it changes much) and make a TT one,

But you’d probably have to look for an old Swiss or Axis-aligned Minor operator (Slovakia/Croatia?)

Sometimes it feels like this.
But my experience with slaughtering planes in Ground RB using Ta-152H tells me people on the ground are not very smart in general, regardless of the team (plane on plane combat requires some thinking, even if it feels like it’s “just turn, br0”)

It can though, because it’s hellcats (and any american TD’s) hardcounter. Don’t you insult my puma, it’s perfectly capable and the only tank I’ll take over chaffee for it’s role.

I don’t think that’s an issue when you have at least 2 other nations on your team 🤔

The old days of one or two nations vs. another one or two are long gone.

The Shermans ARE far superior though. You get better mobility, better armor, and the stabilizer allows you to out-shoot everyone else.

The Big 3 are generally pretty bad (USA, USSR, GER). Other nations have decent vehicles and generally a higher skill ceiling at low tier (JPN, FRA)

Honestly not really at 5.7-6.7. When I played the Hellcat I was facing 1/2 vs 1/2 a fair few times. Not to say its common, but it isn’t rare either.

Posting wrong topic sorry

all of those were 1/2 vs 5+

yeah edited after i posted

I actually think it’s not that bad. The Pz3 M is one of my best performing tanks, its extra armor can deflect some shots if you angle it right not to mention its 4 second reload and 106 pen. It might not be the best tank at it’s rank but the Pz3m certainly isn’t as horrid as you’re making it sound.

However I play the 3m for the extra style from the side skirts and weld on armor, so don’t mind me.
