Hey guys!
Im playing a lot of 2v2's and 1v1's lately, and i usually go for 4 rifleman, T2, car, AA halftrack, T4, Sherman spam or whatever needed.
Im having a lot of success with this build order, but one thing completely kills me: a fast puma. I have absolutely nothing what can kill it. I will have no fuel to go T3 also for AT gun, bazooka has so low range and accuracy, and 4cp's are pretty late for AT gun drop.
In 2v2, my mate can maybe go for some AT, but its just way too early, its very fast so one AT will never catch it, he can just freely shoot at our troops for like 5 minutes.
Any suggestions?
What to do vs fast Puma (T2)

Your build order isn't conducive to fighting pumas. You wrote off Bazookas, the airdrop AT, and only go T2. If you're going to stack M20 and M15 AA HT, then you're going to be shit out of luck without Bazookas or airdrop AT.
With your build order, you need Bazookas. You'll have to accept they aren't amazing, and find a way to put them to work. You can also dump your guys out of the M20, they have a bazooka.

I'll echo Ohme's statement.
Swap your Rear Echelon squad with your M20 crew. That gives you one Bazooka for free.
Plant M6 AT mines everywhere with your M20 Utility Car. The M6 AT mine instant-kills Pumas.
Alternatively you buy Bazooka research and grab some on your troops. You'll only have munitions for Bazookas or mines so choose wisely.
Realistically you'll always want Bazookas at some point as a Tier 2 player unless you pick up AT guns and Captain as well.

I think the best way to approach this is make sure to escort all your vehicles with Bazookas. This is bc the Puma is shit against infantry, so it's going to focus on your halftrack and utility car. I'm pretty sure the halftrack can penetrate the puma, and with bazookas around, if he seriously considers going after your vehicles, he's at a high risk of losing that puma.
SteamId is missing for user id Antilles950. You can add it in your profile settings. Alternatively you can use your SteamId directly.

Thank you guys, i havent even considered switching the crew out from the M20
A free bazooka is very much needed indeed.
The problem is, by the time the puma is out, i will only have around 120~ ammo (some ammo goes for the M20 ammo upgrade). So i will either have mines or bazookas...but i will try to rush for bazookas then. I will give it a try

I played against a fairly fast Puma earlier today. My build order went like this:
x2 +
x2 + 
He took some pot shots at me, I took some pot shots at him. It took me a while to finish off the Puma because my opponent was on the ball with pulling it back. I did manage to kill his T3 building with my double bazooka squads. The bazookas came in handy later against some heavier armor, but he was set back pretty far.
I usually combine the Airdrop AT gun in my T2 M15 AA HT builds as well.

Can you still air drop AT gun even if you don't research T2

Yes. It comes a bit late to the party at 4CP, but you can. I usually go airborne with T2 for this very reason.

The utility car's mine, and bazookas. Bazookas are unlikely to actually kill it, but they will render it pretty much harmless since it'll be too scared to come anywhere near you.
