They are the same guns and ammunition, however the XM246’s guns are closer together. They also have a lot of angled performance and have a tendency to abuse shot traps. The Hull is literally an M60 hull. The turret is just volumetric hell.
Just WT things.
it’s even better than the Gepard and at the same BR!
should be at least 8.7/9.0 for using a better radar and having better survivability (the turret is so big and empty that it’s hard to one shot it from the front without an APCBC)
i checked the hitcam and it says that the 35mm API-T has 204g of TNT, while the King Tiger has 108.8g
Same as all 35mm oerlikons…
Less the XM246 and all SPAA around the br across the board need a nerf to not the stats of their AP rounds, but how much they can carry or is consisted in the belts.

Gaijin just needs to fix SPAA so u can’t get killed by this abomination in a T-72 from the front.
looks like spamming is more worth it than SKILL

Its m48 hull
There is a stripe on every cold war t series tank which lets you pen it even with 20mm
The HEI-T is what has 204g of TNT. The API-T has 37.4g
Shoot the right hand side, opposite side to the tracking dish, near the edge. You will almost always hit ammo causing an ammo rack.
Eh, that’s a design fault with the turret, the armour behind the gunner’s sight is quite thin, anything with more than 80mm can pen there, and well, APHE death ball takes care of the rest.

i died to an API-T, and the stats said it has 204g.
i literally checked the killcam and it said that
Someone mentioned on another thread it could be the server getting overloaded with penetration calculations, resulting in the HE-I
I for one also find other SPAAs oppressive. Like the ru ZSU-37 at low BR with like 80mm pen as well as the M19/M42 at 4.0 BR with over 70mm pen. Both are Post war, even Vietnam era vehicles. Try to play Panzer IV or an SPG…its impossible. These SPAA are spammed out and are everywhere on all these small maps, butcher WW2 main battle tanks like Pz IV left and right. While these things don’t fuse APHE shells.
Its frustrating with 50mm turret armor, they just zapp whole squads of Panzer IV’s. Dunno why, German Kugelblitz with similar pen is 6.7^^ Why can’t those?
because M19/M42 are only good at what you describe and suck as SPAA
Well theres definetly an issue with SPAA vs ground. A massive one at certain BRs.
My 4.3 BR KV-1 heavy tank has a maingun firing shells with 87mm penetration.
Then there’s a 3.3 BR SPAA like ZSU 37 shooting HVAP 87mm pen ammo @ 200 rpm or something. A small babywagon you easily miss. Tormenting early war tank players since forever.
Yeah cause it’s a heavy tank that has exceptional armor for the BR.
ZSU-37 is quite useless at anti air so its position is of a tank destroyer

Well, then it needs to be up-BRed. Almost 90mm pen autocannons shouldn’t face tanks which have like half of this as main armor. Flakpanzer with that wooden turret has this kind of pen at 7.0 BR and everyone is freaking out.
bad turret traverse, so it’s decently balanced.
M19 shouldn’t get nerfed, M42 should since it’s a lot better, maybe moving it up to 4.3/4.7.
whatever they have non-existant survivability since even a 7.62mm can kill all the crew or detonate the ammo racks.
yeah they’re annoying, but if u angle or get lucky u can survive to them. at least me, i haven’t got many issues with lowtier SPAAs, and in certain cases i have met strong opponents in my AMX-13 DCA 40 that can’t get penetrated by the mighty french 40mm (and it has 94mm of PENETRATION!).
which flakpanzer? all german SPAA are called flakpanzer, and if u’re talking about the Flakpanzer I/Flakpanzer 38, that ones suck + HVAP is basically a smaller version of APCR iirc.
