well, if USA flak HT get full serious on Puma it can deal huge damage but will never kill it when it was at 100% HP, second burst might kill Puma, and Puma kills HT in seconds, it needs like 3-4 shots only, and it has longer range, so Puma is a proper counter to it

I don't think so. Everyone can have some form of AT out on the field. And both HT's have some pretty serious disadvantages. The American one can only shoot from the rear/sides, which makes it super vulnerable to getting hit in the ass and taking extra damage. The OKW one has to set up to fire, and can usually be scouted due to the nature of OKW building placement. (The repair feature encourages people to place it somewhere outside their default HQ)

US T2 doesn't have infantry gun or AT gun, the US halftrack was the only purpose of teching a Tier2 IMO, if nerf the US HT, then move the 57mm AT to T2.

You don't take extra damage from rear shots. It is that the armour is lower on the rear. With tanks this is important for deflection but with this halftrack it honestly doesnt matter much. Any meaningful AT will always penetrate a halftrack. It is true that small arms has a higher chance to penetrate but if you see how fast it suppresses units you dont take much small arms damage anyway.

But back on topic. I lost a Luchs to the US Halftrack and Rifle AT nades...Whats the Pen/range on that thing?

If the Ostheer 222 can kill a T70 then this seems reasonable.

Yeah in which case I why is the Luchs in more or less the OKW version of the T4 building? Since its so easily countered...will never ever make Vet 5 in any reasonable game and doesnt perform as well as a T70 why doesnt it come sooner?

I guess its a topic of another thread but I didnt appreciate it getting clowned so hard by a light vehicle. A 222 doesnt kill a T70 as fast as that combo killed the Luchs.

With crap Penetration. And the AT gun UGH. I have never seen dedicated TDs just sit in an ATGs arc in this game and try to kill it. Had two Jagdpanzer IVs do this to me last game.

If you utilize its range. but if the ht can fire on the puma the ht will win even the lynx has trouble with this unit.
