In terms of mobility the TPK offers a double edged sword. On flat, paved roads the high power to weight ratio allows the vehicle to maintain a high speed (~50-70kph) when in a straight line. On rough, off road conditions the mobility is less appealing due to it using wheels instead of treads. In these conditions, expect to maintain at most ~45 kph, with any opportunity to slow down taken without your consent. If you are forced to traverse a river or any body of water, only do so if you are certain you will not be fired upon, with speed dropping to under 25 kph. There is a silver lining, however; the guns. The recoil from firing them directly behind you can give you a makeshift afterburner to cross water or get up hills before someone tries to delete you.

A thing to note is that because of the wheels instead of treads, you cannot turn on a dime; small alleyways or making a 180 to get away can be difficult to maneuver. At speed be careful when turning, it is easy to oversteer and potentially roll over. Reverse is respectable at 14 kph, making backing out of a situation less painful; It also allows you to back out from behind cover to take shots at the enemy quicker than previous vehicles in the tech tine.{{tankMobility|abMinHp=227|rbMinHp=142}}

''Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells.

Add a link to the main article on the gun: <code><nowiki>{{main|Name of the weapon}}</nowiki></code>. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun.

In start contrast to to the previous vehicle in the tech line, the TPK 6.41 goes in favour of volume of fire. With a rate of fire over 4 times faster than the AMX-13 DCA 40, the player can feel comfortable with more consistant hits. the magazine capacity of 240 rounds means you can continuously for approximately 24 seconds, but be careful of overheating if you get too trigger happy. Overall, the guns on this SPAA allow for a much easier time taking down aircraft than the previous vehicle.

On the other side of the coin, however, the power against planes is gained for a drop in anti-tank capability. the enormous rate of fire is great against planes, but the recoil makes the entire truck rock when fired on the broadside against a ground target. If firing from outside knife fighting range, the sight will jump up away from the target, making the effective return fire difficult. Gun depression is also horrible at -3 degrees; putting it on par with soviet tanks, so forget hiding behind a hill. Stay to flat ground if you want any chance of fending off a ground push. Penetration is also a problem; 57mm of pen at best, and only having APCR rounds makes self defence an exercise in futility. Only willingly engage open top/light vehicles if you have a side shot, or are perpendicular to prevent shells shattering.

Description

The ACMAT TPK 6.41 VPC is a rank III French SPAA with a battle rating of 5.3 (AB) and 5.7 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Air Superiority".

General info

Survivability and armour

Armourfront / side / back
Hull0 / 0 / 0
Turret0 / 0 / 0
Crew6 people
Visibility115 %

The turret has 1 crew, and the hull has 5 crewmembers. The gunner is in a turret at the back of the vehicle, far from the rest of the crew.

You are not immune to light machine gun fire, and any exposure to machine gun fire will knock out all your crew out. However thanks to the 6 person crew and the absence of armor, hits by solid shot will not be deadly most of the time.

Armour type:

  • Structural steel (hull, turret)
  • Cast homogeneous armour (thin and narrow shield in front of the gunner, on the turret)
Armour Front (Slope angle) Sides Rear Roof
Hull 3 mm 3 mm 3 mm 3 mm
Turret 5-10 mm Shield

Notes:

  • The vehicle's ammunition is grouped in pairs of boxes: 240 rounds per pair, with a total of 1,200 equipped with all the boxes.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • High top speed
  • Excellent firepower against planes

Cons:

  • No armour
  • High recoil
  • Minimal gun depression
  • Truck cab limits forward depression

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
