Yeah it does need to be addressed the puma. At the moment in 1v1 it is literally a no brainer AT unit choice for OKW, not to mention it has respectable AI capabilities as well.
"A no brainer AT unit choice"? Than how should we call the raketenwerfer? A idiot's AT choice? I mean, if OKW is punished by having the raketenwerfer instead of a reliable ground AT, it should be punished even more with the Puma nerfing?
All these calculation you people made here will not reflect in real life where a soviet player will storm with several T34s against your 1 - maybe 2 nerfed pumas.
Frankly, if we talk about nerfing OKW units, I can give you many examples of units that can be nerfed:
- sturmpios - to powerfull for a builder/combat unit
- obersoldaten - the most powerfull infantry in the game
- wurframen - oh, that was already nerfed.
- panzer II - to thick and not even AT infantry can fight against it successfuly
- panzerfusiliers - they get to many g43
- jagdtiger - it has the longest range and is the most powerfull AT vehicle in the game, while very thick
and so on.....
But changing all these (and/or Puma) what we will obtain? A faction that was designed on poverty because it has its elite units, will loose the word "elite", and it will have just units like the other armies, but with a resources handicap. Is that .... balance?!
