Theres 0 RNG on the unit. You've to wait for the squads to bunch up together, if the canister hit, it crits and units die. Simple.

Iv found it to be very inconsistent in wiping squads, sometime it will kill 4 models and leave one, sometimes it will kill 3 squads.

Relic can take this ability and shove it where the sun don't shine. This bullshit exists simply for the gratification of simple minded degerates that get off on simple no skill cheap shot bs and it really is a blight on the game.

When i face this ability i will just alt tab out of the game as i don't respect my opponent enough to quit.

Fuck em, they can play on their own, its of no consequence to me.

Does green cover works against this?
Because I had grens behind and still got wiped.

I'm all for a serious nerf to canister shot.

However

I think it's worth talking about how the Puma has basically made all allied light tanks worthless since its inception. It's not that allied light tanks aren't dangerous, it's that the Puma is simply able to show up and completely out perform the M5 and T-70 in an engagement.
How many times have we seen either of those tanks recently?

T70? Really? T70 is amazing to put pressure on. Sometimes it's nail in the coffin.
Keep it alive, turn on recon mode, call-in ISU and the party begins!

Stuart? It should has better survivability but it's very good tank vs both, OKW and OST.
Although you need to babysit it.

M5 and T70 are very good soft/hard counter agasint mech truck and against Luchs.

Interesting...
My experience of them has been getting them only to have a Puma show up and they be destroyed immediately...

That's all about. You get T70 and must get Puma so his teching will be slower by 70 fuel. T70 can do wonders in 1v1.

No, because while it's doing 40-50dmg, if an infantry is injured it CRITS AND DIES.

And since cover reduces chance to get hit that means........... (you can end)
