The tank's speed in combination with its low spawn cost in RB as a light tank makes it ideal to spawn in at the start of the game and capture the objective in 2 or 3 point domination. Sidescrape corners and do not hold angles, as you will most likely be destroyed. Use the terrain to your advantage, firing over hills and making good use of your gun depression. It is advised to not brawl with tanks and to flank whenever possible, using your speed and mobility versus enemy tanks as your armour. Due to the fact that you have weak armour and a compact crew module, penetrative shots typically result in your destruction. The tank is very fast on road, however it has poor performance off-road so it is not recommended on desert maps and muddy maps where you can get slowed down by the terrain. Your fast reload times in combination with a very fast reverse speed makes it ideal for firing around a corner then backing up and flanking. To play this vehicle well, you must shoot and scoot. The Puma adopts a lot of typical light tank tactics.
The Puma has a coaxial MG42 that is only useful against exposed crew members. With a reload of 4.1 seconds and high velocity shells, this tank can do the job both in close-quarters and at long range. As the APC shell has no ballistic cap, it might struggle against angled armour, so it is best to go for side shots. It can select from a 106 mm pen APC shell, which should be your main round, two APCR shells with 130 mm and 137 mm pen respectively (you should carry a few of the better ones, especially if you uptier the Puma so it might see KV-1s, as well for long range sniping), and an HE shell witch can be used against AA trucks. The cannon was designed for a, anti-tank role and it does its job well. The Puma fields the KwK.39/1 cannon, a similar cannon to that seen in the late Panzer III models, as well as the same ammunition.
