What's the point of sd. kfz 234/2 ?
Bad gun, can't pen anything, crew is really close to each other, so you can easily get one tapped. The only good thing about it is the speed and I just got killed by a machine gun.

I love it I love it I love it I love it! Use it even in my 4.7 lineup for Germany, just because it's a great flanker.

The gun is seriously amazing... It can penetrate everything even uptiered.
Btw armored cars are not meant to be well protected :l

It's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fast tank- or rather armored car. You shouldn't be engaging tanks frontally in the first place. Ambush the poop outta your opponents. Use your intellect

The only tank with a gun as good as the Puma at this rank could be the StuH or the Panzerjaeger I

Using it is pretty simple: Look at what it's good at, and whatever tactics you use, try to make the advantages of the vehicle work with said tactic and you will have a good game (most times..). Looking at the armor, it should really only leave one conclusion: Stay out of sight. It's a lot like the PT-76 or M56... If anyone sneezes on you, you die. But does that make it inherently bad? No.

It's got 8 wheel steer and can go pretty quick both forward and back.. The gun might not be as punchy as the long 75, but to suggest it "can't pen anything" is a gross exaggeration that makes it incredibly hard to take you seriously.

How much penetration does it need at 2.7 before it is adequate? Are we looking for a 234/2 mounting a 120mm L/44?

Spoken like someone who hasn't been slaughtered by those monsters while in a Jumbo or some other heavy tank. At its own tier it's a point and click adventure for the most part and flank and spank happy fun times after that. Seriously, that thing is a beast and a priority target the moment it is spotted... unless you're playing arcade then it loses a lot of its luster as you can't really effectively sneak about.

If you fire while the turret is perpendicular with the hull, it knocks the tank on it’s side.

BT-7 with 114mm gun isn’t all that unrealistic...
