I have noticed that if you are too close to Puma and hit his side armor it is possible to go in and out the other side …
probably im gonna camp the grey zone form now on, why risk this much when i can support the team without risk?
What exactly are you risking on the off-chance that you might die to the rare competent player?

it seems they are not so rare in 4/4 of the game i’ve played a puma rushed me idk maybe im unlucky, but if it’s like this i cant simply stay near the point with puma rush and possible flankers with tnt packs.
Again, what are you risking?
There is 0 penalty for dying, and complaining about something that’s preventable, infrequent, and takes skill is just being a baby.

For sure it should indeed, seems like a bug since last patch.
i use tanks for farming xp so if i die i waste time bc i need to conquest point, build rp points, and generally push in the enemy lines, all action that rewards less that kill with a tank.
And?
k i see that its not a productive conversation so im gonna close it here
Isnt the main issue here that the HE shell tells you it should pen? It is green anywhere you aim on the Puma it just does not do anything. It does no dmg whatsoever no matter where you hit the Puma. It is just really unclear and should be fixed.
So either have no green pen marker and keep it like this or have a green hit marker and do dmg.
Meta wise the only change is switch to ap rounds and aim a bit more than normal. Not a big issue really.
theoriticaly the round should pen? so if it is like this is correct even if it dosent do anything.
if this are exact models of wt the HE should be able to penetrate so it is correct the marker.
For sure, the round should pen 100% and kill it since the Puma has next to no armor. If the devs keep it this way it would be a game decision not a realistic decision. I hope they keep the realistic pen values in the game but if they dont it is what it is.
As long as I can pen something when the game tells me it pens I am fine and will ajust to the meta the devs put down.
eventually they will need to make changes to the meta and i think this would be a resonable one to make, so this could remain.
I find pen indicators are accurate half of the time at best, for any cannon.
For sure indeed they are not great but in this instance it does not work 10 out of 10 times. Just 0 dmg bouncing hit with no dmg done.
I mean in general per-plate there’s a ton that get miscalculated.
A lot of shots the game will always tell you you can’t pen when you can, or vice versa.
… And you complain you cannot one shot new players (or experienced puma enthusiasts) with your big bad jumbo? Really? You literally state you like to FARM new players for xp with your top tier vehicle… Do you seriously believe you will get sympathy here?
And if the puma managed to kill you “with ease” like you said… I believe the problem isn’t with the jumbo itself but instead with the one controlling it 🤦
Also, isn’t what happened the literal answer to what ameriboos main say about the jumbo? “Muuuh juss flank it”

I have noticed that Puma’s have become more aggressive and bolder since the HE change.
You do need to be careful with the Jumbo and not get too close … You gunner optics allow you to standoff but terrian will dictate. I don’t use Jumbo when I know the terrain will not allow good standoff position.
If you like being up close to the rally point then use something faster like the M5…

Aaah. The lil stuart. I believe I have the same kindof strange love for that particular vehicle (and the rhino)
Than @Rickyd123 does for carbines. I stopped counting the wtf troll moments I caused with this vehicle, shooting in the butt of bigger pz4 & company…

I can also say that there is nothing funnier than killing a jumbo in a panzer 3n
