The Puma or Sd.Kfz.234/2 is one of the best vehicles in War Thunder, bar none. It has exceptional mobility paired with a rapid and hard-hitting cannon, meaning that players with good map knowledge will do very well.

The Best German Light Tank - Hry
Big historical video essay this Sunday, for real this time. It'll be around 20 minutes long.
Yo so do you think that they will leak the documents for the M1A2 spall liner?
hey spookston just wanted to say i hope you're feeling better man
Day 107 of asking spookston to play the 15cm sIG
Already leaked M3 😂@@DeliveryDemon
@@Epic_candle Thought it was the M2A2 they leaked
If you just wanna have a bit of fun, I’ve been recently using the SU-100P. It’s a nice break from top tier 👍
My favorite soviet tank destroyer. An absolute monster in the right position
I've always liked the look of it, but I've never actually tried playing it
@@Spookstonits a beast if you become a rat
The best TD at it's br, it's my main moneymaker
@@SpookstonYou can be gremlin, rat, sniper or fire support depending on the situation. Very versatile and FAST
I love the puma, you can keep it in your lineup for quite a while as your br increases. Same with thr chaffee
I'm at 6.3 and still regularly see pumas, the most recent one was on a full uptier at 7.3
My friends and I were at 11.7 and my friend got an Abrams with the Puma
Chadfee
i see no reason to remove it from your lineup unless to replace with the bulldog, i feel if more players knew how to use it germany would probably do way better, having close to no light vehicles in their teams gives them a pretty big disadvantage, and the people who use it to rush enemy spawn dont help at all
A freedom French players dont get, sad EBR noises
people turning their turrets slowly to look at each other is my favourite part of every war thunder match
It’s a really fun vehicle but as a German main, I can confirm most of my teammates don’t know how to use it lol
confirmed, i have no idea, but i go vroom and get 7 kills. it is the subway surfers of tanks
Some german players think they can kill anything because their gun has above 100 mm of penetration. But still pumas are cool
It carried me a lot of games when I played it. If you get in the zone with this it is an absolute monster, as you can literally drive circles around the enemy and pick them off or decap to your liking.
As a ussr main i can say german mains dont know how to use any tank
Just an absolute masterpiece of presenting how puma players play
Well, how the good ones play. A lot of them just hold W and die.
@@russman3787 yeah that's true. German mains have severe brain malfunctions and do the stupidest things
Video 56 of asking spookston to play the ikv 103
If we be doing swedish 103s, lets throw in the STRV 103 as well. Gib cheese wedge
I remember not too long ago this thing was 2.7 for ground RB. It was just cruel really
Seeing one of these at 1.7 was terrifying
should have stay at 2.3, easier god mode
It still is in AB
@@m-g-b513 don't you think that's bad
Spook, you should play the 2.0 Puma with the 75mm heat launcher
@@jessegd6306The H.35 is quite good if you know how to angle, i managed to fight off 2 Panzers on that thing, i need to admit that it was on a long distance so the Panzers did lose some penetration, but still it felt like a movie scene.
@@wagadoogadowatching German mains panic when they don't pen me as a h35 or d2 was amazing
Ah the Puma. The scuttling spider you saw for a split second and now you don’t know where it went
Puma's when they see something they can't peirce:
"You dont have the firepower"
"I've got the mass"
The Puma is also really fun in WTs ''little Brother'' Enlisted, where I use it a lot. The Turret of the puma was actually designed for a Panzer II version, that never got built, because the contract got cancelled. The Panzer II ''Leopard'' was meant to be a mix of Heavy armor, Speed and Firepower with 80-60mm Armor, 60 kmh speed and a 50mm Gun.
This must be spookstons' favorite tank
-Tiny profile
-Good gun
-Awesome speed
-Great reverse gear
-Absolute gremlin tank
The puma is in no world tiny
- ability to be a rat
Spookston please play the Italian/Hungarian KF41. I want to see if it’s worth the grind and it seems like a fun light tank
Apparently, it’s absolutely awful. Sako Sniper has a good video on it
It’s overtiered it should be 10.0-9.7
its terrible, but youre playing Italy so youre used to that
"Like that scene in Fury except the bad guys won"
That WAS the scene in Fury
Zis-30 is very good in overtiers because its armor is so thin and its firepower so good that it does not change anything. But its reload becomes comparatively better
Yep you crit people or you delete people
Zis-30 was one of my favorite soveit TD and generaly Gunits it is ridiculous, your ally can turn zis30 up side down, even with small speed, because zis 30 is very light. it's gun is amazing, also zis30 is prety much fast, when I look at it i think about like about big chicken.
I really like the memes and sound effects you put in your videos. They always cheer me up even on the worst days
Been a stressful day. I figured I'd say thank you for bringing a smile to my face. You never cease to make me smile at least once in your videos.
Puma is the gold standard of 8x8 armored scout cars.
Puma - Deadly stupid and stupidly deadly
It's either you or your enemies being smacked
This is one of my favourite vehicle's in the game, I've had so much fun, from 2.7 to 8.0, the puma works!!!😎
i thought this would be coming, the puma fits spookstons playstyle so well. Also Video 35 of asking spookston to play the AML-90.
1:50 bro ur life just flashed before your eyes.
2:47 I'm dead from that meme sound 😂😂😂
The thing I love about the puma is that although its a great vehicle, it teaches you how to play the game correctly.
Hey Spook, you should play the Semovente 75/46 M43. It's a deeply overshadowed italian tank destroyer which can deliver an heavy punch but it's deeply ignored the potential it has. I am not gonna surrender in proposing this. I AM NOT GONNA SURRENDER, BE CLEAR! I A M N O T B A C K I N G O F F!
Y O U
C A N' T
K E E P
G E T T I N G
A W A Y
W I T H
I T !
Eyo, don't yo dare ignoring me, I won't surrender until you play it!
(Day 128)
Its not overshadowed. Its bade
The turn speed is so bad Man
its only bad if you use it incorrectly
it was a decent italian ww2 afv with much better firepower than most of afvs italy used at the time except for the italian td armed with a 90mm gun
I love Italian tanks. They did their best!
Spook I think you should also check out the Ru-251! It might well be the SECOND best german light vehicle and it's my personal favourite and most played vehicle in the entire game. I feel like you should really feature it because I think it's somehow relarively "unknown" in the game despite being wery strong and unique. It's like a better, faster mini-Leopard 1 at a lower BR that has scouting and goes 80 km/h off-road.
I know it has been uptiered quite a lot recently, but I think it should still be great and worth trying (haven't been playing the game for a while)
I mean of course it's a great German light tank. It used to be incredibly undertiered for a premium for the longest time.
@@aiedenoldstien9751 Yeah I really enjoyed clubbing WW2 vehicles with it back when it was 6.7. It was quite OP really and I literally grinded out almost the entire german tech tree with it. Sadly it's not that strong anymore but at 7.3 it should still function wery fine. Like as I said it's basically a smaller and faster Leopard that can scout.
@@enkeksinimea4399 isn't it a HEATFS slinger? Cause it should still be rather fine as 7.3 is still before all the ERA tanks.
Its the textbook definition of a pay to win meta tank.
Fun fact: the guy facing backwards isn’t a radio operator but a reverse driver
When spookston sounds like a robot, you know it’s gonna be a great vid
Day 58 of asking Spookston to play the t-35
Day 152 of asking this man to play the IT-1
The lack of clips from beyond Halo Reach speaks volumes. I remember growing up with my little brother, he used to love halo more than anything, I would just be dragged along into it (ive been PC since birth), Im glad you have the footage though. It brings back memories of him asking me to come up with insults to use over xbox live, while he plays. I did have fun on big team battle tho, the utter chaos of battles are fun to me.
Your snort when the aircraft didnt bother pulling up sounded like the A-10 😂
Day 17 of asking for leopard 1
One thing i like it’s taking the puma to 7.0 and each time i get a kill i get “ skill issues “ as a reward
I love the Puma, probably my favourite vehicle in the game, and some pretty nice games can be pulled with it (I once carried the entire B point on Fields of Normandy alone, against like 6 enemies). Biggest frag I got with it was an AMX-32 but I also got a T-62 twice (that I remember and have a video of)
Great video!
theres also the fact that the Puma scales exceptionally well at high tiers when fighting ifv's and MBT's with weak side armour
“You gotta come down to MY wheelhouse”
*Spookston dies immediately*
I love the Halo shorts and Spookston videos. Best Holiday vids ever :)
Damn, with the way he says goober you'd think it was a slur lol
11:30 the most Girls und Panzer fight on this channel followed by the most Spookston line in history
Yesterday's sim battles were teams mass running the puma. It gave me PTSD.
“Get Rocked” -spookston 2023
Can confirm 3.3 is uptier central. I was playing 3.0 france and got a good mix, but the moment i added the 3.3 sherman to my lineup, literally nothing but full uptiers for dozens of games.
Finally spooks covers the best puma , the monster of 2.7
shortly after the A-20 hit the silos "Mr Spookston, there has been a second plane"
One of my Favorites Vehicules in the Game, nice video!
Spook, you know what tank doesn't get a lot of love when it's actually quite respectable?
The ACL44 at 3.7
Fun fact: the 'radio operator' that is facing backwards is actually a second driver for driving in reverse.
I cant help but hear the Initial D song whenever i see a Puma. it drifts so much
I love how you decided to bring a fighter plane into your line up, to get the revenge for all the cas bombings
I think all those Zis 30's are the players projecting their wishes for you to play it
Luv the vids keep up the grind ❤
That dog at 11:36 is exactly what I did and I laughed for 5 mins straight.
Hey spookston, want to hear a decent example of a rat, i was playing 6.0 italy and i got a battle game, my entire team died and i went through my entire lineup, once i got to the r3 i ran away, killed 2 planes, dropped 2 arty salvos on the point while hiding, and only charged in at the last minute and managed to kill an spaa before dieing, god it was fun
0:40 That attention to detail, love it.
One of my favorites so far lol love the video
you can also call it the Special Purpose Vehicle 234
It here! Been waiting!
Spookston in every other video: Have I mentioned I hate Puma
Spookston in this video:
Have I mentioned I hate T-50s
Seeing you do CAS makes me so happy. Please do more \o/
take a shot every time spookston says 'get out of here'
He's done it, he's reached peak goblin
Out of all the Puma videos out there, this is easily one of them.
I also love the memes you put in ur vids.
Definitely a nominee for best intro gag
A german captured yak fighting a US captured 109
* spidermen pointing meme *
I uninstalled WT years ago, but I LOVE Spookston videos. Can't wait for that historical vid.
Congratulations on being free from the addiction
@@aiedenoldstien9751 I'm sorry, I've failed. I don't deserve that congratulations.
@Fatman221 Well what am I supposed to do with the cake and all these cookies then?
@@aiedenoldstien9751 Nevermind. I forgot how horrible I am at it an uninstalled again. I'm free!
This man knows every cartoon in existence and the perfect moment to mention them
I love this tank so much. probably my most favourite tank in WarThunder. The best thing is that it works even in BR's like 6.3 and even higher. You can still cap and reliably fight early cappers from enemy teams and even take on heavier tanks from side which is not so difficult with how quick it is. The only disadvantages are that it is rank 2 so you cannot really do Intelligence medium daily tasks with it and the freaking turret being so slow :(
Drifting is fun sometimes in the puma
rare Spookston moment where he plays planes in ground battle
All of your videos are fun and enjoyable to watch no matter the tank
you know spookston is serious when he starts calling people buster
FINALLY spookston plays the puma!!😮😮
i got a talisman on this baby when i grinded it. same with the panzer f2. amazing line up
Hey now! @14:04 you chose a pic with 참이슬 and that is truly the best way to zone out, no hangover afterwards! Don't knock it 'til ya try it!
- has a great gun for its size that fires APHE and has a very good ROF,
- has widely spaced modules, making it surprisingly hard to one-shot,
- has two drivers and can do a full-speed reverse
- is enclosed, so it can't be strafed,
- is wickedly fast and agile even in hard terrain (because Gaijin and it's implementation of wheeled vehicles),
Yeah, no wonder it's a fan favourite.
The fact that spook cant deal with 15 packet loss is so funny to me when i play at 30 or more sometimes
Spook's favorite word is "um".
i played 600+ battles on puma. and its beautiful vehicle. if you have straight hands and clear thinking, you can even take it up to 9.7 br. usually hunt SPAAs in late game with it on high br.
The 3.3 Puma is the Pumington and the 10.0 one is the King Puma
Drive meme almost made me spit out my food. Good one!
thanks spookston you've made me return to the snail after an hour of being free
You should totally use the T-55 AMD-1 it’s the premium T-55 but with 8 shots of APS at 8.7 and is so funny
IRL the all wheel steering turns off and straightens out when the vehicle exceeds 30km/h to prevent flipping.
Sadly in WT it isn't modelled.
That yellow background really surprised me ngl
If anyone has played enlisted they know what it feels like to see a puma slinging up a hill
this is the vehicle i have the most "God Mode" awards with. this, and the sadge-seal plane from the Gaijin x TheRussianBadger colab lol.
Hey spookston im really curious what your stance is on gaijins posts about the leopard, Abrams hull armor/DU/Spall liner, and the other controversy going down rn. Nice vid!
Spook: I hear a plane
Me: I hear an explosion
*not 5 seconds later*
Me and Spooks: yup
15:09 I think gaijin actually reduced its frontal hull armor from 50mm to 37, so its not as tanky as it once was
Is that simultaneously a Red vs Blue reference? You are awesome. It kind of does look more like a Puma.
1:05 : When your friend drives your manual car for the first time:
Spooks I love how violently midwestern you are. Hope you're feeling well and have a happy holidays
Binding driver assistance is how I got good with driving wheeled vehicles like these pumas. You hold the button down and it lets you steer with the mouse. So much easier to control them at speed this way. Give it a try and see what you think!
"That sounds like a Sherman"
You could say that while playing any battle with any combination of nations from 2.3 to 7.3 and still be right roughly 50% of the time
no way this is awesome! im pretty sure that is my friend that was your puma pal! his username is also sennady!
4:17 spook: it’s a p-63
Me: where plane?
Thats the realest thing ive seen all day
Definitely one of the highlight vehicles in the game. It's always a blast.
Hi spookston, I Just wanted to say I Like your videos very much I have some problems at home end every time you post I become overly exited for those 10-15 min, in that period i escape from reality and my family❤
+1 sub I just found your channel and I like the way you edit your video
