[2023] How do you bare the 8.8 cm Flak 37....

I mean literally everything is bad except reload, damage, and pen.

I'm not looking for "you're playing it wrong" or bla bla. I just want to get some peoples actually voices on why they like to play it. Maybe even when they decide to use it such as when factions you face, map, etc.

Cut some of what you said out, as you've basically summed it up yourself:

-- Has great reload, has great damage, and it has great penetration, even at range (For his BR).
-- It's one of the lowest BR vehicles that has a "rangefinder" module that allows for faster & more accurate distance measurement (At least, comparative to peers).

So- best use is as a long-range sniper, ideally at 800-1000+ meters. And, as others have said, no armor is often more helpful than you might think. At this range, MG's are probably going to be less-than-helpful, and the armor is likely not going to be thick enough to cause APCBC to detonate, therefore it won't do as much damage as it normally would. A lot of people probably aren't going to carry HE, or might use APCBC for 2-3 shots before trying HE instead (If they can even rangefind you properly).

TL;DR: Your primary enemy is CAS, use this as a long-range support weapon, preferably with hard cover for the engine/cab section.
