Puma should be faster

[Ulfric Sombrage]

Why is the vehicle limited to 30km/h ? It was way faster in real life

[Valentine Michael Smith]

all of the vehicles should be faster they're ridiculously slow

Balance, same reason they were nerfed into oblivion (they now require 6 or 7 shots into the rear of a med tank to bring it down) in either update 9 or 10.

In fact, HE is now a better round against Supply/Transport trucks compared to AP, since it was nerfed so hard lol. 1 HE round to knock out a truck, versus up to 3 AP rounds for that same vehicle.


The devs figured they were too powerful (Recon Vehicles despite different turrets have the same killing power) some time ago; which was really just disorganised teams falling prey to a flanking Puma/Greyhound that got behind or around the team.

Ultimately, they die to a single rocket (unless you've hit their wheels) so they aren't devastating to any thing but a team who isn't communicating.

I main recons, currently its:
5 AP to the back of Heavies
4 AP to the back of mediums
3 AP to side/back of lights OR 1 HE in the back
2 AP to anywhere of recons OR 1 HE anywhere
2 AP anywhere of trucks OR 1 HE anywhere
2 AP anywhere of half-tracks OR 1 HE to the back

Recon tanks are still incredibly strong, you just can't fight mediums and heavies like you could before. They're better suited for garrie hunting or flanking light tanks. You can kill med/heavy tanks, but the crew has to be oblivious. People still try to use them as main fighting tanks and get crushed, but if played correctly you can wreck havoc on even a well coordinated team. The only real threat recon tanks face are AT snipers with their absurd precision.

It is hilarious that it's been so nerfed that the HE is now more powerful in several cases; kind of telling in and, of itself.

[ﾒ Keanu]

I've heard it explained that in cases where AP and HE would pen armor, HE would be better as the explosion would cause far more damage than the AP which would just cut clean through.

I don't know that any driver operating within a mile or two of an enemy presence would be "flooring" the damned thing for any reason except a desperate retreat. You must be looking for threats, not racing. If the darned thing was on the autobahn, moving from one front to another, then sure. Not on poorly maintained dirt roads.

Puma is already very strong.its main gun even better that Stuart light tank, I would like to exchange it with the main gun of panzer II,or give panzer II a better main gun,20 MM HE is too sucks,with high speed but cant flank, because even the sherman's ass,you still cant puncture

Most trucks/armored vehicles in this game is supposed to go up to 60-120kmh

[★Captain Kirk★]

I believe most vehicles never operated at max speed anyways. Just like in cqb you don't move faster than you can process information. Maybe not the best example but with armor something similar can be applied. It would be more common to see armor moving below top speed do to the terrain being a factor and for the sake of tactics.

Just like an infantry soldier could potentially move at a much faster speed. But most soldiers do not move at top speed. They move at a speed they can sustain for long duration.

On road maybe, definitely not off road. Jeeps IRL can go 120kmh on road, but nobody is going that fast off road.

[Ulfric Sombrage]

For sure, I dont want to go through the battle with Puma at 80km/h speed, but to go fast to the frontline or behind ennemy lines it would be nice to save time
