Sd.Kfz. 234/2 "Puma"

[Wmaker]

Anyone know how fast this thing goes in reverse?

Well, it had eight reverse gears, just as many as gears forward. Not sure how the reverse gears were geared compared to the forward gears but I still assume it was pretty fast on reverse too.

EDIT/Sorry, it was actually 6 gears forward and 5 reverse./EDIT

yea I just looked it up, the 234/3  and the 234/4 versions had 75mm cannons

I would rather have the 234/4 because it looked like the 3 model was for fortifications not armor 

Neither had turrets, and both had open tops.

And I don't believe the 1,3,or 4 versions were referred to as "Puma."  All are the same vehicle, but have different armaments.  And we don't refer to every M4 variant as a Firefly, do we?

WE HAVE NO UNMODIFIED U.S. TANKS

Yes to the Puma.

IIRC it actually has drivers compartments on both ends so, technically, it has no reverse.

That rear compartment is the radio operator's. In a pinch he could drive, so yeah, there's no reverse.

I vote yes, all we have are slow uber tanks that only pull 25 and some weak little dirbble that you can take with a few cannon rounds.  It would give you a gray area between power and speed.
