Do you think the 8.8 Flakbus will be good?

br4(or br5. they are the same thing), open top, not the most powerful gun, paper armor(pen by anything with a pen) pretty much dog food. Only for those rich noobs or those who got too many money in their hand

Why using it when u can use a king tiger ?

No mg for def against infantry, low armor…

If it will be good for AA, why not.
But IMO, I think it will better to had it on the TT.
I don’t want to spend money and regret it After playing 1 game with it…

Good players will destroy any ground vehicle they can see within a minute and a half

I could see my self getting it,
for AA capacity’s, if its decent,
wont even think about getting it, till i hear of others experience and review.

i’ll be probably getting it because it’s one of my WT favorite vehicles.

but mainly for larping reasons as one does not really take such vehicle for it’s performance. due to being very paper thin to planes.

and because of that, unfortunately, it’s going to be played as a gray zone vehicle.

but still, a cool and unique vehicle nevertheless.

the reload may make it a game changer though.

Only if it is decent enough for AA duties, otherwise a Tiger minus armor, agility and machine gun.

It will be rubbish as AA since it is made to attack high flying a/c, not those that are low and fast.

ETA: might be useful vs bombing runs

and very fast reload rate. it could be fun HE spammer if you can stay hidden from enemy tanks…

Pretty much this.

I do love it in warthunder Though.

Unless they have made the HE-TF work like Proxy fuse…(I wouldnt be suprised as there is no ranging mechanic in Enlisted and the arcade lead indicator etc)

If it works like Proxy fuse it could be pretty fun

if it works as proximity fuse, wouldn’t it be super strong or at least more consistent against infantry?

or super weak because it would detonate near anything it passes :stuck_out_tongue:

Well regular Tiger is already outclassed by Panthers - so the 88 truck will only function well if ut can deal with planes well

There’s several parameters in which tiger is better than Panthers.
Panthers just do have way better main gun, that’s all.

This truck is definitely not going to be meta, but it could be an interesting and enjoyable premium. Especially if its fire rate is indeed that much higher and if it can reliably kill planes.
Personally, though, I think the thing that sucks the most about it is that it won’t have any gun depression when aiming forward. And to use the vehicle effectively, you have to be sideways.

But other than that, it doesn’t strike me as extreme trash.

For comparison’s sake, I care far less about the KV-2. I really didn’t enjoy playing IS-2.
Waiting half a minute and then having zero results because you accidentally hit some surface that completely absorbs the hit. Ehhh.
Or a situation where I’m aiming at the target during the reload. And just moment before I finish reloading, someone destroys or kills the target. Or the target hides behind something. I really don’t like these extremely frustrating situations.

So I’ll definitely be buying the truck first, but I think I’ll wait for a discount. Since I’m not really that interested in it.

APCs also have paper armor. APCs also don’t die to almost anything but direct impact from a detpack or massive HE lol

Irl if I understand it correctly. If your armor is too thin, epxlosive filler doesn’t activate in some projectiles, and thus the projectile does almost no dmg unless it hits some essential thing like ammo etc.

But I have no idea if that’s the case in Enlisted.

well as someone who fire HE round at APC it feel like impact base, like it detonate immediately

Well, I wasn’t speaking of HEs. But about APHE and such.

oh ok then idk

That is a thing in enlisted.
It is best visible or the trucks or when facing the A13 from the side as those are only 7mm.
If you hop into a Ho-I and flank the A13 your AP will just pass through the tank without exploding only damaging what it touches on its way.
This minimum fuze mechanic has saved so many A13 already that I lost track of it.
