      I’ve noticed that the M3 halftrack (soviet version) seems to be very strong vs. anti tank guns. I’ve seen it take multiple hits from a 6pdr or Pak40. It will be heavily damaged, but not die.

      Is this intentional? Seems odd that a panzerschrek is better defense vs. the AA half track than a 6pdr.

      Its dipped in Stalinium…

      Seriously though, it should perform the same as Us halftracks. If its consistently bouncing 6 pounder then it could be a bug…

      I haven’t played much against US so cannot comment. The shots dont bounce off, they just dont kill it. Often it takes 2-3 shots.

      Given how fast a half track is, if the first shot doesnt kill it is likely to flank and win.

      Is very strange what do you say. My mod values say the follow:

      a. Pak 40 have min damage of 634 and min pen of 50. Scout car have max health of 313 and max armor of 38. Then Pak 40 should kill it with one shot with no problem

      b. 6pdr gun is another history, this gun has a min damage of 274 and min pen of 52. Then this gun will need x2 shot to kill the scout car. But it worst with sabot because sabot has less damage and the vehicle can resist almost 3 shot bec ause sabot has a min damage of 121.

      Then about your question:

      a. 6pdr needs between 2 or 3 shot to destroy the scout car depending which round are you using

      b. Pak 40 should destroy it with one shot.

      Also take in consideration the gun could miss the shot because the scout car is very fast. In my games I never have problems to take down a scout car with a pak 40. If you have some evidence about pak 40 please share with me then I can take a closer look on it.

      Cheers, Olhausen

      Thanks Olhaussen. Memory must be playing tricks on me, the Pak40 has been fine when I played again 🙂

      How is the Puma supposed to fair vs half tracks? The gun seems ok (~3ish shots?) but the armor is thin vs 50cals making it a risk to attack Soviet halftracks.

      Puma will win 1v1 vs a soviet quad 50 half-track, as long is there only one, and it hits the HT twice.
