The German puma has way to much armor for what it is, in the time I have played this game the German AI team have never lost a puma tank but every one else who fights the Germans loses their tanks within the first 3min they spawn, I my self have tried everything I can with the equipment I have to kill these tanks but with only the success of killing one crew member and nothing after that.

The problem is that the Stuart doesn’t do the damage that it should (Not much of an increase but should make it easier), Puma armor is basically paper thin for other tank guns however as it is an Armored Car, you just have to aim at certain spots for now.
I’ve killed pumas just fine. lol.

I have aimed at every weak spot a tank should have. I cant even pen in from the side at a 90 degree angle at like 50m. cant pen the ass of it either

Have you tried TNT on the engine block. 65% of the time it works 100% of the time.
Yes actually and guess what, nothing not even a scratch on the paint.
I dont think we are playing the same game.

I am guess your some how talking about warthunder when this is an entirely different game
Are you sure you’re actually landing the TNT on the block? Because it’s always an Insta Kill for me.

yes. and also under the tanks were it is weakest and at most killed one crew man when they can do the same to the M5A1 and insta kill the tank
I’ve found the HE on the M8 one shots the Puma, the PIAT works well too if you can get a direct hit.
I think the main problem is the M5A1 isn’t nearly as good
Problems are more the wheels and the broken hitbox. The M8 at least counter this with its mortar cannon.
At least it should be possible to OHK (and before make it even able to destroy) the stupid wheels if you hit them with the cannon.
I wish I had this magical Puma everyone talks about so often, mine just seems to blow up the minute anything larger than a rifle round hits it!

and thats the problem. if you are going to force two tanks to fight each other in a fps game make them balanced
Its not an issue with high armor, just low post pen damage and a few oddly angled plates, if you snipe crew members or hit em with 75mm HE in some of the thinner parts then it will die pretty quick
then its a bug. I cant even kill in with tnt bundles when they land on the top rear or under the tank. and under any tank is thinner armor then the top. but the M5 can get raped by these bundles even if its like 5 feet away from the tank
Probably is a bug, i havent had a problem with TNT kills but i have heard of an issue that causes Stuarts and Puma’s to absorb shots they shouldnt have survived
If you drop the TNT under the Puma the pressure dissipates before it can do any meaningful damage because it’s so high off the ground. You can really only get the Driver or Radioman at that point.
