the puma is so much weaker than the m36...but on the same cost.
pumas cost/ power is far away from be good.
it will penetratet by anything, must standing to hit somethings and have so less penetration that it woill bounce an far range ..even on shermans and t34....so no...its not a good turrent TD ....compared to other turrended TDs
Here see you a example where the KT had a dmg engine...what is a normal situation in a fight vs a KT when you want him to kill seroiusly.
it is so slow that is no problem to kill it....even with the "dot" dmg from guards...tell us...why is it dot dmg when guards shot with the ptrs...and not when panzergrens shot with faust? ptrs make even dmg when not penetrading...its a "do dmg whenever u shot" sometime more..sometime less....but its not a "dot"
- Guards need nearly the same time to kill KT like panzergrens
- guards schredd panzergrens with even lose not more than 20% from models
- guards kill volks with no problems
guards are not that much slower to kill a KT than panzergres would need to kill a KT!!
and guess what? guards kill upgraded panzergrens with dropping only some models!
(was a 3 guards vs 4 upgraded panzergrens CLOSE COMBAT fight)
conclusion: guards are super strong vs infntery while not much bad than dedicatetd AT inftery vs tanks.
for only a few more manpower! And guess what? you pay only 27manpower to recrew a guard model...while elite german infntery need 37-40 manpower per model....lel
edit: i have all testet it in testgame on testrange map....you can have the replay!
