WHY IT COST $1500 FOR A VIRTUAL TANK

MY DECAL: store.gaijin.net/catalog.php?...
The Pak Puma in War Thunder is an older Event Vehicle that used to cost just $20! However, as time has gone on this vehicle has amassed a price tag over over $1500 on the Gaijin Marketplace!
The question is: Is the Sd.Kfz.234/4 worth the price now? Well, no. But it is pretty fun to play, that's for sure!!!
The Sd.Kfz.234/4 is now one of the most expensive and sought after Premium Vehicles for the German Tech Tree!

another thing odd, phly, and bo time gaming always forget is arty, smoke, and scouting. But he's just a bro playing a game he loves. The scouting one always surprises me because you can literally track people's movements instead of guessing which road they're taking to flank you, and you vastly increase your chances of a friendly saving you if they actually know there's a tank there. (And half the players never even look at the minimap, it's either on their screen or invisible.)

Hey Odd love regular video uploads picking up again! Would love to see you play the french Char 25t before it goes up in BR. its an absolute monster now that its has its american APHE. Basically a T26E1 gun but with a 6.7 second reload on a light tank, and seeing how you tend to do extremely well with mobile APHE slingers i think you'd absolutely demolish with this one.

[@evo3s75]

Could you play the VFW once again? It is so much fun at 5.7 with a quick loading 88 and a rangefinder

[@claverton]

I don't notice much difference playing this thing at 4.3 to 4.0.Perfectly capable at 4.3 and in fact I more often play it at 4.3 because I prefer that lineup. Usually I hate it when my favourite tanks get moved up but in this instance I'm not worried about it.

[@adamg7984]

Considering the T55E1 was at 4.7, the Pak Puma needed to be moved up. There's really no excuse the Pak Puma was so much lower than the T55E1 when it was introduced into the game. The Pak Puma is better objectively than the T55E1, it should have been higher in BR from the start yet the T55E1 was dropped into the game at 4.7 or 5.0 while the Pak Puma was 3.3 or 3.0. I don't remember the exact BR's but I have them close and know the disparity was absurd considering the blatantly better vehicle was significantly, not just a little bit, lower in BR.

How do you make these shots?!?!? If my shell touches any part of a tank's tracks, it disappears into oblivion! God forbid it touches the thin armor covering the tracks on top, apparently that thin part that extends out from the hull equals 1000mm of protection sometimes! Not to mention that T-34's breach in the intro, your shell went straight through it and detonated in the turret, whereas if I hit any T-34's breach through the front of the turret like that, it just turns the breach orange and disappears.
