Due to the outclassing of the 50mm gun by enemy armor, the Puma was replaced by the PSW 234/4. Companies of 25 Puma were attached to four Panzer divisions as heavy reconnaissance units. Options: None.

SdKfz 7/1 78 Type: Halftrack Maximum Vertical: 0.3 meters Availability: Jul 43 – May 45 Top Speed: 50 KPH (32 off-road) Playability: AI only Redline: 2600 RPM Main Armament: Four FlaK 38 20mm L/112.6 Armor: Depression/Elevation: -10°/+100° Hull Front: None Secondary Armament: None Hull Sides: None Ammunition: (20mm) Hull Rear: None Smoke: None Hull Top: Open Radio: None Cab Front: 8mm Target Size: Large Cab Sides: 8mm Height: 2.62 meters Cab Rear: 8mm Weight: 11.55 tons Cab Top: 8mm Ground Pressure: 1.0 kg/cm 2 Mantlet: None Maximum Slope: 24° The Sonderkraftfahrzeug 7/1 was a self-propelled antiaircraft gun mounted on the heavy SdKfz 7 8-ton halftrack. This vehicle carried four 20mm L/112.6 guns on an open, rotating platform. Although capable of depressing enough to hit ground targets, the lack of any decent armor on the vehicle made this a dangerous proposition. 319 were built between 1943 and 1944. Options: None.
