For its level, it has a good gun. By the way, I advise you to put on it not a top-end one, but one with a drum, it has a mega lot of shells, as many as 10 pieces. I don’t know what the potatoes were guided by when screwing such a capacious drum and where the crew is among the 10 shells) )).

But the fact remains a fact and you won’t know if you install this gun. You need to play an active game, preferably moving from place to place shooting damage. Fortunately, the speed and stealth of the tank allow this to be done. Remarkable vertical aiming angles also do their job. You can shoot damage like normal medium tank leaning out from behind the hill.

Advantages of the M41 Bulldog tank

The speed is excellent, allowing you to quickly escape from light.
A very worthy weapon with good DPM of almost 2000 damage per minute, although the CD of the drum is long, but 10 shells is no joke.
Good vertical aiming angles allow you to play almost without noticing any inconvenience.

Disadvantages of M41 bulldog

As usual with light tanks, this is their cardboard appearance and low HP.
The ammo rack is criticized almost every battle
Gold shells have very mediocre penetration, but at the same time are expensive. Although whoever puts them on the drum) )) 10 shells will probably leave you without pants and underpants too.
Reloading the drum could be smaller, although with 10 shells it is almost not needed at all. So there are still some shortcomings.
The dimensions of the tank are also large, and if it were made a little smaller it would certainly be better.

M41 bulldog what equipment to install.

Well, firstly, it’s definitely a camouflage network, secondly, optics and thirdly, horns if you like to shine on enemies, and if not, then install ventilation and anti-fragmentation optics so that there are fewer crits.

m41 bulldog what perks to download for the crew.

Well, firstly, those who like to shine need to deflate the commander, everyone else repairs or camouflage, then those who have the camouflage pumped out, then the eagle eye, the vindictive smooth turn of the turret, then the military brotherhood to all. To make it more clear, I’ll give a picture below of the perks, otherwise you’ll get confused.

Good day to all fans of the game World of Tanks! Now we will talk about one of the the best lungs tanks of our favorite game, a fast, maneuverable, rapid-fire and dangerous machine - this is the M41 Walker Bulldog guide or simply Bulldog, as most players call him.

Performance characteristics of the Bulldog tank

The first and main advantage that we notice when considering the Bulldog's characteristics is speed. Like the vast majority of light tanks, that is, fireflies, this vehicle has excellent mobility, reaches its maximum speed very quickly, and also has good maneuverability.

It is thanks to the speed of 56 kilometers per hour that our lack of armor (clearly noticeable in the colijn model) becomes an insignificant disadvantage, after all, what firefly has armor? However, Bulldog World of Tanks does not have the smallest dimensions; our silhouette is quite high, so you always need to act carefully, clearly calculating your options, and not just rely on speed.

Another advantage of our tank is its excellent viewing range of 400 meters. Standing in the bushes and showing no signs of life, you can quite successfully shine a light on an enemy who has lower camouflage parameters and is just approaching a key position.

gun

Things with weapons are even more interesting than with general characteristics. The fact is that for the M41 Bulldog the gun is another huge advantage. As you can see, we were given 2 guns to choose from, each of which can be called top-end:
1. The first is a standard version with good penetration, fast reloading, pleasant accuracy and stabilization parameters, as well as increased one-time damage.
2. The second is a gun with a loading magazine. In the magazine we have 6 shells, which we spit out with amazing speed, after which we go on a very long 36-second reload, but this 900 damage is worth it.

The fact is that both Walker Bulldog guns have almost the same parameters, the only minor difference is that the first option is a little more accurate and can deal more damage, the rest you can see for yourself. Thus, you should choose a weapon based on your playing style and skill. However, a loading drum in capable hands is not only formidable weapon, but still a lot of fun, and for the enemy a complete headache.

By the way, like most American tanks, our gun has good tilt angles - 10 degrees down and 20 degrees up.

In general, for a player on the M41 Walker Bulldog World of Tanks it is much more effective to ride with a conventional gun, since it has much greater firepower and stability in terms of the ability to deal damage constantly, without having to go through a very long reload, during which we will very vulnerable.

Advantages and disadvantages of M41 Bulldog

So, we looked at the characteristics of the M41 Bulldog, we also figured out the gun, and now it’s time to sum up the first results.

For the M41 Bulldog, an overview of the main strengths and weaknesses will look like this:

Pros:
1. Excellent mobility and maneuverability;
2. Good weapons;
3. Possibility to choose one of two types of guns;
4. Great review.

Minuses:
1. Lack of armor;
2. Bulldog WoT demanding of skill.

Equipment M41 Walker Bulldog

, , .

Our task is to ensure comfortable shooting while moving and during short stops, which is what we do. However, for those who want to focus as much as possible on the review, or if you do not have the appropriate perks, you can equip the M41 Bulldog tank, significantly increasing the viewing range.

Crew training

Equipment for M41 Bulldog

For the M41 Bulldog, equipment is selected according to the standard scenario: , and . If possible, all these consumables are replaced with premium ones, and regarding the last one, the fire extinguisher, it can be safely replaced, we rarely burn.

Tactics for playing the M41 Bulldog

What can you say about the tactics of playing firefly? Your task is to ensure competent illumination of enemy positions and movements of forces. But do not confuse this with a thoughtless rush forward, when, due to your speed, you burst into the enemy’s camp and quickly go to the hangar, there is no sense in this. M41 Bulldog tactics involve active use of terrain, as well as dense vegetation. Sometimes it makes more sense to stand in the bushes and stand there for a long time rather than waste precious hit points trying to actively shine.

If a “lamp” lights up above your head, quickly change your position and do not stop until 10-15 seconds have passed. Regarding the implementation of damage, it is better to shoot only in cases where you are sure that they cannot see you. The second option is to spin the enemy and shoot him on the move, it’s always fun and gives you the feeling self-importance. And if you choose a gun with a loading magazine, carefully monitor the number of shells and calculate the reload time.

Regarding whether the M41 Bulldog is worth taking or not, the answer is obvious - take it. The tank is really very strong and fun, and also opens up good prospects for further upgrades.

Crew.

The commander has a sixth sense for warning of light and an eagle eye for increased visibility.

Gunner - smooth turret rotation, sniper (alternatively, sniper can be learned first. With your rapid-fire gun, this perk will be of real use).

The driver is the king of the off-road, smooth ride.

Loader - non-contact ammo rack (very important! Since it is in the forehead, it is criticized often.)

The third ability is better to learn " The Brotherhood of War“, although a camouflage upgrade for the entire crew wouldn’t hurt.

Weak sides M41 Walker Bulldog.

An important disadvantage for any LT is its large dimensions. Although, you should have already gotten used to it while riding the T37. There is also practically no armor and everything that hits the bulldog causes damage to it. Another disadvantage is the extremely long reload time of the drum gun. Because of this, it is an order of magnitude inferior to the second top one in terms of DPM.

Strengths M41 Walker Bulldog.

It’s very nice that there are significantly more pros than cons. This is a wonderful tank, quite comfortable in the game. Has good maximum speed 72 km/h and agility of 56 degrees per second. Equipped with good weapons. Or rather, a choice of two weapons. One with an excellent loading drum, and the second is more comfortable, accurate, with a large DPM, but without a drum. Also, an excellent view of 400 meters gives you the right to the first shot. Although sometimes it is not necessary to shoot, the M41 very successfully serves as a light on the battlefield.

Combat tactics for the M41 Walker Bulldog.

The first part of the battle we play the role of active or passive light. We reconnoiter the positions of enemy tanks and transmit their coordinates to our allies to inflict damage. Towards the end of the battle (or maybe even towards the middle) we are planning a breakthrough to the artillery. In some situations, a bulldog can significantly help to hold back or push through an incredibly strong flank, going behind the defending opponents. For example, T 95 in the Himmsdorf banana, which holds back 3-4 heavy tank allies, without good support it can become just an easy frag for the nimble light tank. You just need to wait for the turtle to shoot and, while reloading, rush towards its stern.

By the way, if, by the will of randomness, you were thrown into the minimum level of battles, and for the M41 this is the 8th, then no one will forbid you to play the role of a medium tank. The only thing that distinguishes you from representatives of this class is the complete lack of armor (although STs do not boast of this indicator) and not so much damage from a shot. However, this doesn’t bother the same 13-75, and it shouldn’t bother you.

The Bulldog is closest in playing style to the AMX 13-75. A light tank of the 7th level, it has good driving characteristics of a firefly and at the same time is not deprived in terms of weapons. Logically, the M 41 is a logical continuation of the T37, so we get a very similar car, but with all the characteristics improved
