?? I’ve just started the Normandy campaign - currently lvl 3 - last game killed 3 Puma’s - 2 x 1 shot from front with 37mm, 1 instant death from expl pack…
Sadly, that is not true… Ba-11 was real manifestation of broken models. Puma merely shares it.
While I agree with that cannister shot, I do not agree that puma overperforms because of its characteristics. We saw it with Ba-11 and we are seeing it now too.
Or it is just me knowing how to actually aim to kill with M5
I believe so tbh. I see Ba-11 as a proof and puma as confirmation, and I also do believe, that if we get another armoured car it would cause exactly same issues.
For those who did not participated in alpha test or don´t remember Ba-11, it was another armoured car that caused a literal havoc, as stock tank outclassing everything except PzII that managed to somewhat stand a chance, which however required long and painful grind to get.
So the best case scenario is if devs don’t know how to make damage models for armoured cars, then we shouldn’t even have armoured cars
Puma can be replaced by Pz-2L tank that had similar armour as M5 and APDS ammo for 20mm
Armoured cars already rule in Warthunder and I don’t think devs who make Enlisted are going to correct WT’s mistakes
Well, yes. Also puma is not fit to do a frontline tank job. It works on Le Bre Invasion, it works on most domination modes where mobility is a thing, but if its issues get fixed, it will actually begin struggle in D day landing style of maps (yes it is hard to believe now, but also now nobody would imagine that PzII was a hero in this story back then) because its not suited for this job.
M5A1- more armor (which doesn’t matter against tank with over 100mm pen aka PUMA), more MGs? (You can’t even use the top one without getting out of the tank with the commander) and faster reload time (by less than a second of course)
Keep your Complaints to tanks that actually have problem in the game like the Pz 3 B and not tanks that out do the enemy in most of the cases or you gonna become the boy who cried wolf
Overperform compared to a HE shell that can actually oneshot a group of soldiers that is packed close toghetter? The 50mm HE performs quite well actually
Just an observation about replacing HE with cannister - Cannister is line-of-sight only - even with hte lousy HE filler I kill germans in buildings by aiming at internal walls and the shrapnel/blast gets them - not in big groups, but pretty much every game.
Canister will not do that - any solid cover will protect from it.
