How can i handle a Puma with soviets? If i had not choose Guards, T34 are unuseful and conscript too now that they had nerfed the AT nade (why??). Puma if fast, and smoke saves him when in trouble....

As soviet I always go for T4 and it pays me of. I had game where OKW guy had 3 Pumas while I had just 1 SU-85. He did not even reach it. 2-3xGuards, 2x ZiS (in unexpected spots or with camouflage) and what's the most important a lot of mines on SU-85 sides and back which is not difficult since soviets have a lot of ammo.

But it's very strange that I have to use many different units to kill Pumas.

At nade now are not target the enemy tank but the ground, so is very easy to avoid.

For kill a Puma (T2 unit) you suggest me to use a Su85 plus a couple of ZiS, and Guards (that are doctrine specified).... it's strange!
Furthermore, if i had choosen another doc, i have lost the match??

AT Nade does not target the ground - it targets the vehicle and follows it. Against a Puma you're guaranteed a damaged engine. I suggest you try it again - maybe you just miss-clicked or he drove out of range before you could get it off?

The Puma can be purchased relatively quickly but is expensive for OKW considering it has limited anti infantry capabilities. If you can take it out it's a big blow. A T34 should be able to take it out if microed properly. If he micros the Puma better than you micro your T34 he will win though.

The easiest non-doctrinal solution is AT guns - even if he flanks them he won't be doing much damage to them. Coupled with an AT nade on them he's toast. I've seem Pumas taken out with AT nades alone so there's a solution as well.

Think at this: while your okw enemy is struggling to build a Puma, you will build 2 T34s. I suppose you heard about fuel caches, didn't you?

^That's utter bullshit. It takes 110 fuel for OKW to rush out a Puma. It takes over 320 to get 2 T34s.

As long as you can force the Puma to stay at range (mines, AT nades, field guns), he wont do much dmg. At my last game as Soviets vs an early Puma, it lived 13 min and did 10 inf kills.

Yeap, you will lose every single match if they use puma and u don't build exactly that strat and that doc. Joke aside, l2p.. it is unit that cost 70 fuel for OKW and is only effective against something with medium armor. Two ZiS are enough, and that doesn't mean that u build two ZiS just to deal with a puma, dont worry u can still use them against tanks and infantry if u use barrage. But u probably trolling by writing that post, that or your going places ;)

Watch how Siberian for example uses them.
Its not rare to see 20+ kills on them.

Thats pretty good for dedicated AT, don't you think?
