M41A1 "Walker Bulldog"

[Sobolewski]

I have my eyes on this tank after I finish researching and grinding the M36 and the T25. How good is it? What modifications should I focus in grinding out first? What shells are overall best? Is the APDS horrendous at post-penetration or tolerable?

I really like this tank's looks and all, but the lack of recent information, gameplay and opinions about it in the game when I search for it makes me kind of uneasy.

It`s rubbish and this whole line goes to rubbish, better off with medium and heavy lines.
It should be 5.3 BR max and is way too weak at its current BR.

It’s a good scout tank, but it’s pretty tall and Sabot is eh last I checked, but it has a decent rate of fire so it’s up to you

It's absolutely awful, it's just 17 pounder APDS on a trashy light tank. IMO the Challenger or Avenger is a better choice.

The walker bulldog is a joke, coming from someone who has never played it but has killed plenty. From what I see, the tank promotes the kind of play style that requires a stabilizer, so walker bulldog players just race out in front of your cannon and realize their mistake only once it's too late.

Walker Bulldog is up there in my favorite tanks tbh. I used that for half of the IS-7 event and I don't regret it, think its my most played vehicle in RB because of it.

Here's my crappy Pro/Con list
Pros:
- fast enough to flank
- reverses well enough
- no hull-break
- Scouting ability
- AP shell is pretty good
- APDS to pen problem tanks
- Smoke shells

Cons:
- Tall
- No stabilizer

I don't discredit the criticisms of everyone else here, but I found using the tank enjoyable for the most part. At times, I'd rather use the Walker Bulldog rather than the M56, alien tank, or Ontos. I don't think it is as bad as other people here make it out to be. This is all RB gameplay of course.

If you know how to use it it can be very powerful and usually your deaths are revenge bombs
