A bit of Context:
hi there, this post is made for those people that have no interestr ( or they do, it depends ) and are wondering about the PUMA 4 stars from the twitch drop. here, i’ll show you some stats, and how it looks like, so perhaps you will recognize it and be somewhat more carefull with it and/or how to use it.
Note, if you are interestred, the live event drop of today will end at: April 19th (16:00 GMT)
so perhaps, you are still in time to get it.
What do you get:
fairly simple, after that you watched and earned your card, as soon you will hop on the game, you will receive this Upgraded 4 star puma.
keep in mind that crew is not included. you will have to obtain and upgrade them individually on your own.
Appearance of the vehicle:
it’s a puma after all. but it comes with a nice and different camouflage with insignas included:
Frontal View:
Side View:
Rear View:
so yeah, it can be recognized and it’s a bit different from the “vanilla” puma, this last does not have any insignas and “lines” camouflage.
Technical Datas:
4 stars puma:
Averange Puma:
Performance Videos:
360° Turet Speed Test:
Result: 26.5 seconds ( ish )
Performance on track:
Max Speed: 38 K/M per hours
*i’m not sure why i made the slalom like that, but as you can see, it can show how good manouvrability and acceleration has in tight turns.
Personal Feedback from an experienced Ex-Puma User,
i said experienced and ex puma user, because i ditched this tank after unlocking the panzer III for saken of balance, and as a enlisted tester, me and many others, have to test things. nontheless, i love the puma, but it’s not fun when it’s model it’s broken, as such, i’m not willing to use it. but considering that i played 2 test of normandy ( the CBT and the OBT ) so i have kinda been forced to play it in order to progress further and upgrade my tanker squad, i can consider my self an expert.
from what i can see, ( i could upload gameplays if you need me to ) it’s just like the regular puma but on steroids. it’s quite fast, excellent reload speed, and sadly, quite deadly from it’s bugged armor.
once it get fixed, it’s going to be somewhat efficent, but only if used on sourprised attack.
what i can reccomend for people that currently uses the puma, and/or have this puma, start to play from distance. because as soon the damage model it’s going to be be fixed, this “”““tank””“” will no longer be stronger as it is now. so forget about charging with this armored car, or you will just end up being a firework due to thin armor, and not so covered placement of ammonutions in weak spots:
( on both side of the driver, and behind the second wheel )
and keep in mind that despite having 2 drivers, if the driver at the front dies, you are not able to traverse like it should in real life with the rear driver. it’s not a thing yet.
In Conclusion:
so yeah, always moving is somewhat of a good strategy, but as i said before your armored car it’s weak, so therefore it’s best if laying and waiting in some nearby forest, peak when a enemy tank appears exposing it’s side armor, and use your speed to relocate your armored car faster after each 2 shots or any kill made upon infantry ( those last are dangerous as they can spot you, and throw tnt at your fancy wagon).
after all, that’s why it has been compared to a puma, it’s like a cat. being sneaky to take out your target by sourprise.
make a good use of it.
best regards,
cheers.
