This is why I think it belongs at Tier6 with normal MM:

Let’s compare it to the Tier5 Pz.Sfl. IVc.

Where the Flakbus is better:

It’s 15kph faster
Top gun has 22 more pen vs the T56′s 172 (M54/M36) (never going to be 200+)
Same alpha (240)
Better crew protection vs HE splash. The T56 Offers NO protection from HE.
The T56 has NO armor, it can NEVER bounce anything.

Where the T56 is better:

Better gun arc
Better HP assuming Tier6 HP normalization
Better camo
NO protection vs HE splash from sides or rear

So, the Flakbus is better in almost every respect than than the T56 but I feel that the combo of a good pen gun with good gun arch (not a real turret) puts it only one Tier higher than the Flakbus, hence Tier6 with normal MM.

Remember that all TDs are loosing their after-firing camo bonus so camo will be less of a benefit going forward.

Who needs HE when you can kill it by simply looking at him? :D

IIRC they mentioned there would be absolutely no new French tanks in 2014.

Yet, I hope AMX tanks remodeling won’t come too late either. They really should come to our museum in Saumur , take some 3d measurements and pictures, and record some sounds. :)
