The Ammo tray for the German 3,7 cm Flaks has enough space to fit 2 ammo frames on it, and the loader can connect the 3rd as soon as he needs to, so overall continues fire is possible.
There is a theoretical firerate often mentioned, however that is the relative fire rate of bursts, as they were to only shoot continues if the plane was flying at them.

There are more SPAA with even more pen at lower BRs. So I don’t get the complaints. Especially at 7.0 it should be balanced. 7.3 is already the ZSU-57-2, the master of ground killing SPAAs.
people are just mad because a vehicle that got removed got buffed
the ones that are complaining are the ones who missed out on it, and keep shooting the hull instead of 1 shotting the turret
This is the true reason. They’'re mad because they cannot destroy it by just farting in it’s general direction…
I think it’s more reasonable to say they aren’t happy facing something that can and will kill their tank very quickly unless you shoot the turret before it can shoot you.
Reminder that it has an incredibly high traverse rate, and great gun handling, making it very difficult to even engage if it knows where you are.

The same can be said about many other SPAAs…

Oh yeah? Like which?
Nothing comes close to the Flakpanzer 341 that isn’t some post-war SPAA at 8.0 or higher.

One’s been already mentioned: ZSU-57-2…
Then there’s for example the Ostwind (II), Praga, Dusters, etc…
All of them will shred you if you won’t hit them first…
The meme “SPAAs are the best TDs” exists for a reason…

Like almost all SPAAs? They have naturally all great gunhandling. Otherwise they wouldn’t be an SPAA, lol.
It already starts at BR 3 or something, when ZSU’s et all with 80ish pen demolish WW2 tanks.

Not at 3.0. Not unless the Flakpanzer I(1.3), Lvtdgb m/40(2.7), Flakpanzer38(t)(1.7), and So-Ki(2.0) exist no longer
wow
Oh yeah the Ostwind II with its sub 50mm pen that can’t even kill medium tanks from the side unless it’s right next to them.
I remember the many times when Ostwind II players with their first spawn would end up with 7-10 kills and top of the match, because they are so effective.
Not.
lol
Oh no, the powerful ZSU-57-2. An SPAA thats not really an SPAA because it’s terrible at shooting fighters or ground attack planes and has the armor of a M18 and dies to overpressure.

oh gawd a panther g hull at 7.0?! the armor! Yeah it has Okay mobility and Okay armor without the ability to kill most heavy and medium tanks only disable them from the front, it’s not special.

It’s an SPAA with medium tank armor. Thats more than 99% of SPAA can say about themself, most are even vulnerable to overpressure.
So yeah, combing a medium tank with an SPAA that has more pen than 35mm API is gonna cause havoc.

35mm at 7.0 would be literally useless and it has medium armor for a full br lower, most guns at 7-8.0 can front plate it easily while it still has medium tank mobility so you’re not zipping around their sides. honestly question do you have it or are you speaking from just speculation?
35mm fires at 550 RPM each and instantly barrels and tracks any vehicle. In addition of sneaking a 35mm nuke inside a tank by ricocheting or hitting a pixel weakspot.
It’s also on a Leopard chassis so mobility is very good, instantly annihilating any light armored vehicle.
I have the Flakpanzer 341 and it’s ridiculous that you can instantly disable any tank and just spam rounds till one knocks them out in one shot.
It’s literally the best German WW2 tank killer.

Hate seeing them when I’m in my m51 :(
Flakpanzers favourite food. Poor things can’t compete. I’ll upload a video of me donking on an M103 and co in Flakpanzer last night. Had the poor guys raging in chat.

Not gonna lie, I absolutely hate myself for ignoring this vehicle. Many years ago I unlocked Tiger 105 and Kugelblitz, as back then Coelian had dogshit penetration and Kugel was generally more useful from my perspective.
Years have passed and it turns out Coelian is an absolute beast and Panther II is this hidden gem.
Ehhh…

I have frontally killed T-34s with it in the past, I even have it on video somewhere. Through the turret of course. I’ve also killed Jumbos from the side. Once on Volokolamsk I killed an M6A1 600m away…
I don’t know what’s going on from the point of view of the game but it seems to me that if you spam enough shells with some AAs, you’ll end up killing stuff that the statcard says you should not be able to pen.
Sometimes that actually helps it, but I digress.
Not all SPAAs are great TDs, some like this one are great TDs and bad AAs, the Flakpanzer is in the same area as the Drilling, the Praga to a degree, the Gepard and the Falcon as a good anti-everything vehicle.
You mean Panther?
