It most certainly is because of my (lack of) skill...
I've done pretty okay in the AMX line (up to tier 7) with autoloaders. It just feels like this tank had nothing going for it. With the AMX you can trade 3 shots for 1 and run away. This tank needs constant shooting to output some damage, but that's impossible because it's squishy as hell. And while other tanks have some fear factor (like M4 rev with 350 alpha, AMX with clip, T49 with huge HE shell, even SP1C with an autoloader or at least 225 alpha), the bulldog has nothing going for it. Literally everyone focuses me, rams me to bits. A dracula on the red team? I can't do anything because he eats me alive.
I'm just sick of playing heavies at this point... Maybe I should go back to those though
to say anything more specific we would need to watch one or a couple of your replays.
Use wotinspector to post a few specific games that you fared poorly in but can’t grasp what went wrong.
We learn more from failures than successes, don’t be shy,
just from reading this note however, my remarks :
1
comparing AMX and m41 , although 2 lights and 2 autoloaders, is not doing justice. The AMX can perform agression, especially in lower tiers. The m41 preys from the outskirts of the battle.
the part where they reunite, is in the end game. Any light autoloader shines when enemies hp starts to be within clip range. U can cross the map, delete it, reload while en route to the next. If you die before that time, then you miss most of the fun.
2
its true, no fear factor from the m41 lol. But if you rely on fear factor to perform, then only a part of the tech tree can fit your playstyle. At that point learning to be efficient in underdogs or support tanks is a new step.

its not fair comparing anything to dracula, which has been broken ever since it’s introduction, in ways that can’t be fixed. A dracula full speed can shoot ram shoot you For more than 600dmg. And you will never escape him. However claiming that he eats you alive, means that you went where he did, alone. That’s two wrongs at once. Don’t go where a dracula will thrive, let him attack someone and shoot him then. Stay under the protection from some armor or some derp that will scare him or limit his movements. By protection I don’t mean close, I mean line of fire and possibility of intervention, it’s a range that varies constantly. U can be across the map but in front of batteries of tds, if the dracula comes ram you he will certainly not drive any further. (Well, weak tanks count on team support, that’s why they are weak tanks). I guess you start to understand a few points by now.

I want just that, and replay files.
