I’d unironically have the solid shot instead, because when you flank in a Bulldog that’s the only shell with decent spalling. For anti armor, APDS is there already and its way faster.
I use the HEAT-FS for sniping in the T92. Killed a bunch of heavy tanks that way.
For the US Bulldog I would stick to the solid shot for extra side shot damage over APDS.
But I think on the German Bulldog the HEAT-FS is more reliable than that low caliber APDS, that doesn’t pen that much sloped armor and can easily shatter.
the 105mm has now less tnt, but its still more than the 88mm and the 88mm can still oneshot, if you know where to shoot it doesnt matter if it has less tnt
in the end its the same result
ammo detonation/ Kill

I am still trying to understand why Gaijin made any changes to not only this but the Panther 2 and KT 105. After all they were removed because they were fake? So if that’s the case, what evidence is the basis to support the changes being made to them? Just like any other vehicle, we are told they must have some sort of supporting evidence for changes, so surely then… they must be real (certainly more real then a lot of Soviet BBs)?
So unless they are intending to release these during the birthday event (hopefully not as a limited time sale like the German Sherman which they didn’t tell anyone about, so was sold out before anyone, especially in the US could get one), I honestly don’t understand why they have made these changes.

They are fake or not completed protoypes but parts from them existed an can be reported to get corrected.
If you have evidence that something that Gaijin made up shouldn’t be that way, then Gaijin is probably going to change it.
In case of the 105 Tiger it’s the ammunition, which existed and was previously made up by Gaijin and it’s the same deal with the Flakpanzer 341 which used the same ammunition as the other German 37mm AA guns, when it wasn’t going to.

Guys, it’s fine.
All I can see are light tanks that could be destroyed by BT-5

Obviously it’s fine, everyone who dies to it has a skill issue because they didn’t see it or shoot the turret, and anyone who complains is a bad player. Clearly this is a fair and balanced vehicle that’s not OP in the slightest.
/s
I mean, your clip doesn’t show you doing anything other than shooting light tanks.

Hence, it’s fine.
Then why did you post it
Yeah especially when video shows a 341 being effective against light tanks which surely isn’t a common thing with SPAAs, I’ve never seen any other SPAA clap lightly armored targets

It genuinely hurts to watch this, like, wtf are even those guys doing at 1:53

You can’t really do anything to it if it sees you first, because you will be blinded/knocked out very quickly. Even if you do see it getting your gun on it before you die isn’t always possible. And with it’s gun handling and ammo count, it can just move and spam without much worry.
You’ll also only die in it to CAS to someone you fail to see.

The 341 is just preparing players for the 8.0-9.0 autocannon gang wars

1st clip is mostly light tanks and shermans which could be killed even before patch, arl kill is bullshit, It’s also just shooting at clueless people at spawn or enemies monkey peaking
2: genuine bullshit, should not have happened
3: enemies peaking with there side armor bcs who doesnt like free kills, t44 shooting an ufp instead of turret, type 61 just monkey peaking and not shooting, another t44 hit the gun , sta2 side peeking and then m18, full on retardation
4: 5 minute nuke is possible with almost everything
5: ibidem
before you comment: i played over 400 battles with it BEFORE the buff, it really isn’t that super powerful now, it’s just a really good vehicle played by mostly good players fighting retards

Not super powerful you say?
That T34 literally had no chance to react while i just roflpen the turret ring, Which the thing previously couldn’t do, Before it relied on randomly over pressuring which was never consistent.

Reaction time is something people fail to take into account when talking about this and other autocannon equipped vehicles. Sure you might see the Fox, XM800T, or Coelian first, but with their vastly superior gun handling they will almost always get the first shot off. What inevitably happens if that your barrel and tracks are removed, and then you are blinding and unable to shoot back because you couldn’t get your gun on target in time.
