The Puma Is VERY Balanced

The Sd.Kfz.234/1 or 20mm Puma is an absolute menace in low tier tank battles. It is an incredibly fast armored car with an autocannon that shreds anything. I don't know what Gaijin was thinking putting it so low, but it's one of the most busted tanks in War Thunder.

The turret traverse was buffed a month or two ago...it used to be around 11 degrees a second; it was also a 1.7 BR vehicle before the buff. The SD.kfz 140/1 was also buffed; it was when the Snail added the Sd.kfz 222.

Hey spookston, would you be willing to give war thunders single missions a try? I think it will be informative about the effort gaijin puts into their game.
The Dakka Puma (20mm) used to have god awful traverse for what it was due to it being made manually cranked while the Pz. II with the same turret has the electric turret traverse. They gave the puma the Pz. Dakka turret.

What are you talking about? Pretty sure both vehicles always used to have 14°/s traverse but now the 234/1 has the same traverse rate as the 222 which seems absurdly fast with 40°/s. It’s faster than even the FlaK 38 found on the Flakpanzers.
@DaReaperZ

He's right, it used to be much slower, and it was still amazing.
Pro tip: if you're having trouble controlling a puma at high speeds (or any other fast vehicle) try driver assist mode! Press whatever keybind you assigned to it, and as long as you hold it, you're pretty much steering with the mouse, insanely useful to keep vehicles like this under control at high speeds.

Keep in mind that the Puma has steering on all axles so you might think it drifts more than it really does.

You should play the Japanese top-tier Type 93. I've seen some gameplay of it and it is quite funny. It has a top speed of 125 km/h, and I heard you like fast vehicles, so I feel like you'd enjoy playing it for your viewers!
Back to back 5k games is........... special for sure Funny I had a 16 kill 6k masterpiece yesterday and at 2.7 with the 50mm puma getting about half of it......love the vehicle it's amazing
Yup, absolutely a monster. I started grinding Sweden, and these things are the bane of my existence when on the opposing side, and my absolute favorite friendly vehicle.
Your videos always make me excited to watch them. The game play and suffering make them relatable.

Now that you've played this, can you play the regular puma? I wanna see more of goblin spookston
I am so glad i got this bad boy during the crafting event since it's great for grinding ground stars during operation summer and winter
10:41 Spooks is like a scared dog, but his so cute and lovable 🤍 even cutier when he got jumpscared from time to time
Hey Spookston, lately a found myself playing KV-85 and it's an absolute beast for 4.7 and gets a decent amount of downtiers as well, you should give it a try.
Hey spookston, it would be nice if you were to compare the first Abrams you unlock (M1 Abrams) vs the last one (M1A2 SEP), it would probably not be gameplay but i would really watch it.

The M1 sucks, the M1A2 sucks less but still has the worst weakspots in the game at top tier besides Arietes.
I love, love, love the Sd.Kfz.234/1 - it's by far my best performing vehicle. Super fun to play. It's just broken, if anything, especially if you just rush like an idiot, and it works great in uptiers too.
Much appreciated, the power of that speed alone makes the chassis so great.
this with the black camo is one of my favourite menace machines and im glad missions dont allow for tanks under tier 3 to be used cus i would be using them a whole lot more often
if youre taking aircraft suggestions play the Potez 631 for france, its quite fun as it has you can turn much better than expected.
You're editing was on point in this video, I belly laughed multiple times lmao
omg spookston i love th ekitty memes you put in your videoz :333333
I think it would be interesting to see you play the Strv m/41 S-II. Its essentially a Swedish Panzer 38 with APDS. At 2.7. I have been grinding Sweeden recently and it seems totally broken until you have to fight an Su-122 or T-50. Otherwise it's quite good.
The driftiness is a feature not a bug. It has all-wheel steering so when you turn right the back of the vehicle goes left.
Love your vids! Should play the Sd.Kfz. 234/3
At 8:34 Spookston sounded like the call of duty "on your feet solider we are leaving" thing xD
In about a month whenever you feel like playing low their, you should try to take out both the as.42's
Hey Spook, you should play the Semovente 75/46 M43. It's a deeply overshadowed italian tank destroyer which can deliver an heavy punch but it's deeply ignored the potential it has. (Day 51)
wooooo another great spookston vid
00:5 i love that when he says " obscenely busted" the raketenautomat drives by in the background
Spookston you should play the chinese (or russian) Type 62 because i think its a neat light tank at 6.7.
It’s even better with the Chinese puma because you get a awesome line up of the m8 deep gun. And the greyhound.

Great video keep up the good work hope to see a video on the m26 t99 or the super hellcat
little hidden gem that i have founded when i grinded the kill skins for it is the t26e with that little addon armor it is able to bounce most 20mm and even some cannon shell
day 10 : you should try the jagdtiger sometime. it's extremly slow, doesn't have a turret, gets uptiers all the time, and most importantly, you'll have to play with german teams. the very definition of suffering
the Chieftain is very balanced by the way, so you should play some variant of it

I'd like to see a video with this tank again... Super fun to watch you drive-by drifting on people lol
Yknow. I kinda wanna see more sick drift kills like you did at 12:25
This vehicle is a blast, especially with playing with Leo's. I was playing with two there friends, and was keeping pace. Managed to shred a ZSU-23-4 and then got spapped by a KPZ-70. Was worth the God Mode. Or just driving full speed in a straight line sideways and not getting hit casue your fast as huck bro.
I was half expecting to hear that “Yippee!” Sound effect near the 8:38 mark. Due to that paper confetti effect lol

The Panzerjäger I is such a neat lil' TD at 1.3, very gremlin-y
Hey spookston, i think you should play the IS-3, its a monster in its BR and can even do good in uptiers, would be really fun to watch you play it
I got the 140/1 back when the starter pack was on sale for only $2. I have it in a lineup with the DAK, the puma, the 222, the normal panzer 2 and the flakpanzer. The lineup is named "violence"
You should play the AEC Mk. II. That thing is a menace
Driving through those streets reminds me of one of CoD 1's (or 2, can't remember) Africa campaign missions.
hey spookston, you should play the type 60 sprg, it is also a funny gremlin vehicle
@1:05 my friend is convinced it’s always me when I say “that tank didn’t have any engine volume, etc” instead of possibly believing sound design was messed up
