Here's a quick overview of the tank.
Pros:
Cons:
Compared to the regular Bulldog, this tank has an overall better gun and lower chance of fire. However, it sacrifices a little bit of mobility, 1 degree of gun depression and 10m of View Range.
It costs the standard $30.99 USD that has come to be expected from non-bundled light tanks, which means it's equally priced to all the other tanks.
Rating: 7/10
Worth it? Maybe. It's an overall decent light tank, well-balanced to other scouts. Its main advantage is the gun performance, seeing as the tank has better DPM, penetration and shell velocity than most Tier 8 light tanks. However, the Bulldog isn't a very good scout. Its camo rating is poor, it's a large target, and it doesn't turn quickly enough to duck and weave on a dime.
The LT-432 is a better tank without a doubt, but compared to the other tanks we've seen? The M41D could certainly be worth a buy if you enjoy light tanks, especially if you've enjoyed the ones with better gun depression. However, if your cup of tea was more along the lines of the WZ-132, don't expect anything similar with this tank. Even though they're both Chinese lights, they have completely different playstyles.
Crew training also isn't very relevant with this tank, as the Chinese light tree plays completely differently than the M41D, and the Chinese light tank line isn't considered very competitive after Tier 8. That being said, the Type 64 also has the same issue of playing like an American tank rather than the actual Chinese tech tree. Type 64 is a better value, but the Type 64 won't make nearly as many credits as this tank. Type 64 can play in Strongholds, while the M41D can play in both Strongholds and Frontline. If you haven't purchased the Type 64 yet, the M41D might be worth it. If you have, then it depends how much you enjoy the light tank playstyle and whether or not you plan on playing Frontlines.

I wasn't going to buy the $49.99 bundle but when I saw it gives three full sets of camo I couldn't say no :

So... why doesnt the base bundle come with the camos? The base bundle coming with a crew but not the camos seems like a really really odd choice by whomever put this bundle together in the NA office...

You probably can't. The 15% coupons I have won't work with special/limited offers. That's right, I have two 15% coupons that will likely go unused because of their many, many restrictions.

As things are now, I'd say the M41D is by a large margin more practical than the tech tree bulldog. Because of the lower chance of catching fire and premium profitability, it is very compatible with food- and if using food then its drawbacks in view range and mobility are more than compensated for and its advantages are enhanced. And even if this weren't the case, it would still be the more practical tank because the "fat scout" niche depends on firepower to function. Because of the bad camo, they're going to be seen. And because of the bulky silhouettes, even in spite of their speed they're going to be hit. Because of that, normal scouting tactics just don't work. The way you get ahead is using the mobility to deliver firepower where its needed, but if you're a tech tree bulldog and therefore have laughable firepower, then you're up a creek.
So moral of this story, bulldogs with good guns are worth having. Perhaps even more so right at this moment because fast dakkawagons could be an effective and necessary counter against the wheelibois. But that one bulldog that doesn't have a good gun is a sad eyesore. WG should therefore consider buffing the tech tree M41. Not just because its average WR is terrible, nor because then it might correspond better both to its premium counterparts and also the T49 that follows it. But because it would be the right thing to do. For heaven's sake I wouldn't even mind if its alpha was returned to 150 if we got the original DPM values back.

For now, yes. It's a pre-sale (hence the title of this thread). It'll be available to non-premium accounts soon.

So what good are these coupons? Waste of electronic ink imnsho...

Good question. The 20% works on limited time offers but not on anything that is already discounted. The single tank is a non-discounted, limited offer so.....20% off.
