Even if it would have been designed to engange armor (which it wasnt by the way) the power is still way to high as I assume that MoW is basing the penetration on the very rare APCR amunition which was stoped to be in production from 1943 onwards for every 50mm (and smaller) guns to save the material for biger calibers like the 75mm and onwards and around 1944 there was no APCR in use with smaller guns anymore. The Panzer IV, Stugs, Panther and Tigers had a lot more use for such shells. Hence why I complain that the Panzer IV H is doing so poorly in MoW when it was a quite decent vehicle able to take out the Sherman and T34 on high distance.

Its like the best Anti Tank Vehicle in the game, its cheaper then dirt, faster then that French TGV Train plus it has more ammo then ti really should. I swear I read somewhere it only had 12 rounds. In game it needs to be made stupid inaccurate to discourage people from using it like a guerilla vehicle....they just run it in circles around the enemy tank and blow the hell out of everything. Atleast it has butter for armor so it dies...just nothing can ever track it before it kills the target.
I've taken out a T29 two days ago with the Puma. Your right, the armor is thin, as anything 12.7mm or bigger will destroy it but their too fast. Their annoying, I've lost 6 tanks to one of these before.

Lolz my first ever Tank only battle was my dad and I vs some other people, we were Russia, them Germany and every tank they sent against us, be it Panthers, Panzer IVs, Jagdpanzer IV, we blew up and we were winning for awhile. Then they made 2 King Tigers sat out aways and didnt ever kill anything with the King Tigers, instead they kept sending in Pumas.....we would manage to kill every one of them but for every tank they killed (is2, KV85, T34/85...we needed to kill like 8-10 Pumas....it was retarded. They just ran up, kissed our rear and ran circles around us. Oh and it was only like 2 tanks per side so there was no way we were going to get the coverage needed to guard our flanks and rear. Even when we did both get a tank on the field, the puma was moving to fast for the other tank to get a clear, zeroed in shot before the other tank died. Ill toss in that was like my 10th battle of the game, so I was a newb then to but still......it was retarded.

If that ever happens, bring in a Anti-Tank rifle. Or get a .50 cal, that should protect you from them.

Right, I woulda had infantry and stuff but it was tank only, there was only tanks and AT guns I think.....maybe there wasnt i forget and a supply truck......if there was an AT gun I just didnt buy any.....whoops but i dont think there was. In a normal game I put infantry in front and behind b/c ive been raped in the rear by Dynamite-Scouts to many times now. I ensure maximum coverage with infantry...works pretty well. Smgs and Rifle squads are dirt cheap compared to Storms...never realized that until the last time I played haha. 18 points I pumped out like 3 squads of 8...was crazy tons of men. I play the Germans 99% of the time....only tiems I play other nations if I just get that bored and decide to do it or in the editor hahaha
